    Probably.


    Actually had that earlier, ctrl + f5 fixed it.
  2. Why is this so addictive!

    Alright I'll admit I'm now hooked and this I can actually do when not in game.
  3. Alright I'll give this a go, I'll use probably my only OC that would be dwaddling on the internet.

    Scary enough that thought makes me realize that Azure would probably hang around 4Chan when really bored.

    Castle went to a new job, so is Ocho, no one knows what happened with BaBs.

    But in the case of Castle and BaBs they were replaced with two people each.

    I think the more likely answer is that CoH has been around awhile, the staff have obviously marketable skills and some of them decided its time for a brand new challenge.

    Edit:

    Almost forgot!

    Sad to see you go Ocho, but glad to hear about new opportunities. Good luck!
  5. Pssst

    I finally got around to adding the formspring widget to VV.

    Minor Edit: I will also admit to being somewhat curious, but not sure I'd be able to be nearly as amusing as you guys on any of my OCs. I started checking them out after I added the widget and saw the links >_<
  6. By request, a widget for embedding your formspring.me account has been added to VirtueVerse. You can see this widget in action on my own user page, and you can get the code to add it to your own pages on the widget information page.

    If I get some time (haha) I can see about making a template for doing the basic bordered colored boxes that a lot of people have.
  8. Downtime!

    VirtueVerse and UnionVerse will experience some intermittent downtime over the upcoming weekend while maintenance is performed on the server. We advise saving any page edits to an outside program. Any downtime should be short in nature.

    Thank you.

    Maintenance will be performed to reset the hit counters on pages, remove some unused content, and other tasks to keep the server running smoothly.

    War Mace/ Energy Aura was already pretty and strong.

    I think Castle made it prettier and strongerest.

    What pretty and strong looks like:

  11. Well that solves the mystery of the tentacles but how about the dust devils in Neutropolis?

With how games are developed these days, there's no way you'd probably be working on a game for that long, anyway (unless it's Duke Nukem Forever... then what--six years is like nothing?).

    So I can understand wanting to move on. And heck, after revising and revamping the game as much as he has, I can understand wanting to tackle the next challenge. Though I'm quite sad to see him go.
  13. Going to just share this gem of a twitter conversation:

    Ransim: Very sad to see Castle go, but I know how it is to want to move on to a new challenge. I wish him luck! #coh
    Pandora114: @ransim He's a great dev and was a good sport and everything...just..he can take the nerfbat on his way out lol
    ransim: @pandora114 You mean the Lesser Bat of Nerfing? I think Jack took the Greater Bat of Nerfing (+10 induced rage) with him. #coh
    pandora114: @ransim yes. The Lesser Bat of Nerfing. It still hit, but it didn't proc the rage proc as often. lol
    pandora114: @ransim Castle's Bat of Nerfing had the +10 DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM proc...
    Going to miss you Castle but I wish you plenty of luck with whatever you're moving onto, I can definitely appreciate the need for something new and challenging.

    Now. I need to go find a nerf bat and a sharpie, make sure you leave a forwarding address at Paragon Studios Castle.
  14. Been working on the page for my Corr Trioxin. Desperately trying to find some time lately to write but interested in some feedback on the layout.

  15. VirtueVerse.com now points to VirtueVerse.net

    All old links pointing to VirtueVerse.com are now being forwarded to the proper page on the new server at VirtueVerse.net. This includes all old VirtueVerse links and UnionVerse links.

    Important Note: You will no longer have access to the old server or its content. The site can now be officially considered moved!

    Is anyone on this channel? Are channels like this cross-server, and if so, would this not be... immensely confusing? ...is there a Virtue-only version of this?
    Channels are cross server, just like global chat is. Thats why most of these sorts of public channels generally have the word Virtue in the name, like Virtue TFs and Virtue United.

    NEW Victory Wiki

    Not a problem. For a long time it apparently only had VirtueVerse listed. I updated it when I took over the wikis and added UnionVerse as well.

    Also I can highly recommend the ReCaptcha extension for mediawiki, runs great and keeps the bots out.

    Oop.

    There it goes again.
    It must be contagious had that same urge until I realized that I got stuck with running VirtueVerse and UnionVerse. I have moar wiki now then I bargained for now.

    I am glad to see another server tackling a wiki though. You should update the paragon wiki Servers page and link the Victory wiki there.

    Good luck, if you find it let me know because I have been looking for this for 6 years now.

    Come close a few times but its only ever for a few months because city has no real end game so people start up with alts and everything becomes more and more fragmented until it devolves into people playing different characters separately and talking to each other OOC'ly in a global channel together.
    I find these groups, they're awesome for about a year, then eventually people get tired, bored, get lives, move on and then you're stuck looking for the next group to play with.

    The new features pages will include an archive page listing all previously featured content. We've removing the categorization aspect however.

    The old template has a list, that list will be moved to the Featured Articles project page as an archive. Each will have a brief blurb and maybe a picture for each if its a character page. I've been working on a lot of this behind the scenes to get ready for the first round of features in January as I have time.

    But no I'm not completely trashing the old Feature list, that content is awesome.

    The list of nominations is looking good so we have a good selection of pages for the random number generator.

    And please feel free to use this thread to post your articles or ask questions!

    I've been trying to keep the OP updated with information as I can.

    Canceling before you have used all the time from the deal, both this year and likely last year with the same rules, means you lose the free months of the deal.

    Therefore, people who got the deal before can't cancel in order to take advantage of the deal again, which is stupid.
    O_o

    What you are saying makes absolutely no sense.

    I got this deal last year. My sub was extended. I canceled my re-subscription and my account is still valid until March. So explain to me how I lost the free months I gained last time?

    Last year I resubbed my account for a full year in January. I then go February and March for free.

    I canceled my re-subscription so that on Monday I can take advantage of the deal again, and my account says it is valid until March 2011. So I did not lose the two free months I got last time.

    Let me reiterate this. You do not lose any time by canceling a re-subscription on an active account. That time has been PAID FOR already. You own it, its yours, they aren't going to take time away because you decided not to re-up your subscription when it ends which is what canceling means.
  24. Featured articles are returning to VirtueVerse!

    We've modified the page with instructions and we've added a brand new form to nominate content.

    Click here to see the instructions and the new form.

    The first set of features will go up hopefully in January! So make sure to nominate exceptional character pages, stories and super group pages!
