  1. IDK, but I'm thinkin this might be brought up depending on the match with some people.

  2. hahaha, I checked AMZ last nite after post and wasn't shipped. Read this, checked AMZ, listed as shipped. :-p Oh well, maybe my 'rare' luck will work in a positive direction this time.

  4. Even reading the recent "Players Can't regain VIP" I don't know if that means I can't click that link and Pay for VIP or if ALL codes are disabled, period. I haven't seen a Red Name response to that effect. I'd only be out $8.50 if that's the case and I'm prepared for it, but if there was solid 100% verification that it's absolutely blocked on all avenues, then I do actually have time to cancel the order.

    Refunds?

    People have already reported refunds from as little as <$1 to nearly a whole year's worth of sub.
  6. While I can't imagine (ok so I Can...) they'd put forth the effort to shutdown code upgrades that don't directly affect billing, it would be nice that if they did decide to cut off that avenue to atleast post to that effect.

    The shipment's being delayed due to the other item in the order (apparantly P!nk's new DLX album wasn't simul release from wherever this is coming from), but I should see my AE box next week. That part of the order was only $8 and I know that it's not one I've purchased so we'll see. If I'm disappointed, then atleast I'll have good music/videos to balance it out! ^.^

    That would be one F'd up way to spend the last second of Nov 30th...I can think of a few thousand people who'd have a good laugh...until they realize how much booze they just spewed on the carpets!

    You mean that large crowd or two at the outer edges of atlas plaza?

    I read this and something Post-Sunsettery came to mind. O
  11. It revived those AOL chatroom days.
    Let me discover levels of creativity that I've never thought/known how to test.
    Brought out the leader in me that tends to hide behind a shield of humility. *pre-emptive KOIS thwap* (stop snickering!)
    Gave me yet another reason to learn more about computers (repair, diagnostics, troubleshooting, etc).
    Most importantly, it gave me an outlet for the wide range of emotions and general personality quirks that I simply cannot do IRL because it scares the pants off people. (IE: even during gaming IRL I would lose the privilage to speak. :-p)

    A thousand times This. My first player RPGs seem to consist of: kill, mash X button, check inventory.
  13. I forget which of the two really came first, but before SGs these were the two I had for the most part. Altitis didn't set in until I started maping storylines and eventually got a 2nd acct to help manage the group when others were offline.

    K'larh - This is the closest I can get to the original costume as there have been several costume piece issues over the years and even this one has a lock on it because of that. Note: I was so thrilled when I got ahold of the CC because I could make a female toon withOUT having a pair of basketballs on her chest!



    Pyromethious - checkout the linked names for the current Bio's.

    Crashing hard

    No direct experience, but AVG came to mind right off the bat along with WAY too many things running.
  15. *imagine that GIF where the guy walks over and just randomly shoves somebody out of their chair*

    ...Imagine because for the life of me I couldn't find it. >.<
  16. That's interesting considering Virtue always seems to show Yellow whenever I login. Granted I dont' have active toons on Virtue to check, but I look to see anyway.
  17. Meh, I didn't take into account that this would be recording at the game's specified screen resolution. :-p My folders are like 1.5Gb-5Gb in size each! :-D Good thing you didn't set the example to 60FPS!!!

    Something to note, you need to wait for the demo to run it's course fully and autoclose if you want the whole thing to be dumped. At first I thought you could simply close it right away, but then I noticed that only part of the files were there.

    Well, while I may not be good with the camera and avoiding walls, I'm surely thorough in the attempt. >.<

    Or we could go all Bond villainy and induce the North Koreans to invade the south. That should hurt NCSoft's bottom line.
    Psst, I thought that SK were the good guys...or do I have my Bond movie villains backwards?

Servers that used to be full and busy at all hours are dead quiet during peak times. It was meh when I left back at the start of Cataclysm, but its far, far worse now.

    Nothing lasts forever I suppose. Still, not going to stop trying to save CoH.
    And what percentage of said 9 Million are RTM farmers? I hope I'm saying that right as I'm pretty sure that's what you call $$ for Gold farmers.

    While (shocker!) I don't intentionally go out of my way to get involved with said "nuffle", I do atleast understand the term and it's official format. "Nfl" suggests a sort of ingame abreviation while "NFL" (while lacking the separation '.' marks) is more commonly understood to be a proper noun, National Football League.

    What? Just because unless you hit REPLY, the white on blue makes the 'f' and 'l' look virtually identical? I have No idea what you're talking about! ;-)

    If it's not scratched off, then go try for a refund while you can.

    Over the years, I've probably spent a couple hundred hours working on the backgrounds, costumes, and general designs of my mere 3 dozen toons.

    My first toon used to Tank before ED, now she bleeds End because I'm still using pre-i13 build concepts.



    When I started to get bored in the same pre-i13 times, I got lazy and built interestingly named toons like Perma.



    And right before I 'Retired' from game in/around i13 I created CC for the hell of it. Too bad she's VIP locked or I'd entertain some crowds again.



    I helped steamroll the pre-i13 Base padding and managed a total of 7 accounts worth of base padders on ALL accounts except Pinn (because that's my home server). So while I only have about 3 dozen played toons, I have something like 700 AriesTemp## toons spread across the servers. :-p

    Every toon I've created for play has Some aspect of the real ME, but like IRL, nobody has figured me out entirely.

    I have a fairly even mix of male, female, and gender neutral toons. This makes the previous statement that much more *headdesk* when you think about it. :-p

    And I'll end with, I was finally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia (after 4 years of testing) while the game was in beta. Essentially this means that I really Shouldn't be spending nearly as much time typing or playing games that require cramped conditions because my muscles don't loosen as they should amongst other things. There's very few things in life that I'll tollerate pain over that don't related to the necessity of paying bills. CoX is on the short list somewhere below *insert romance novel reference*.
