I find the wentworths TPer handy to get from Oro to KR's directly as I lack a base with the flame on most my heroes.

Now?

When did you think it wasnt

whoops, that should read "repair Font Folder"

(its does icon repair as well which is my excuse for brain fart in not stating its also a font folder repair tool)

If you are going to predict the end of the world, makes sense to pick a lot of dates; more chance of being right

You will probably find good use from this site: http://paragonwiki.com for questions, and City lore.

Art doesnt have to be 'good'. Certaintly a lot of art isnt good, (to my opinion and view) and a lot doesnt convey a message, espically not an important one. A painting of a bowl of flowers will be called art by everyone looking at it. Without a 'very important' message.

You could look at one of the Vahzilok . The appearence of them certainity convey visual imagery. The flies buzzing around them implies the decay, the meshing of metal/flesh visable convey the sci-fi flavour of the creature... and more could be drawn from it. Misshapen form to imply twisted creator.

Its interesting that it appears from your stance, a printed out picture of a vah zombie would be 'art', a movie containing one would be 'art', but becasue it in a different medium it loses its 'art' tag.

Yes it does.

Not important to the reasons NCsoft has, but yes of course I can run a patch and defrag at the same time. What OS can't?
More so a server based OS.

The rebooting and what not plays more havoc with the defrag, but I really doubt the regular maintenance is about defraging and is more about compacting the database and cleaning that.

I'd much prefer a four hour block when patches are needed than two nights.

I agree pretty much with a lot of what you said, but expecting a promise of no downtime on night xxx ever is unreasonable and will never happen.

There are times when patching must be done. I wouldnt expect NCsoft to promise what they cant deliver, and we are better off asking for things that are possible.

This is incredibly true.
Not much worse than paying to play a game thats down mostly when you want to play.
And it makes it very hard to bring new addicts in.

I think you've cracked it.

It would be quite a twist if it turns out Praetoria has a market interface that is a combined/merged market.

In real life, I would would prefer someone to talk to me in private. Not shouting abuse at me when I'm in a group of mostly strangers.

A PM would be closer to what I would like.

You realise it must be more than one stalker? A 5 star thread can not go to one star from one person. Unless they have massive amounts of accounts its more than one harrasser.
I'd add that whomevers they are, your reaction is sadly going to feed them ):

However if they have left an abusive comment, the mods can deal with them if you complain.

I'd bet that mods see a point to people being able to neg rep anonymously. And I hope they dont take it away. Or only take away the numerical values and allw for comments.

Just about every forum I've been too has always had people complaining that they cant disagree with poster xxx as they will get dogpiled by all thier friends.
Whether that viewpoint has any merit doesnt matter, there will be people who are not confident enough to 'risk the wrath of regulars' but still want to disagree.
