  1. I hate that this is hurting people on so many REAL levels, and I know it is cause it's hurting me just this badly and my friends to a point very close to this. Personally, though, I think NCSoft should be FORCED to see the real pain and suffering this is causing. Even if it's just in the head, or some supposedly "whiny geeks", or whatever people want to view this as, it's real and we're still all real people. I can understand that maybe they don't wanna waste money on this project or something else was bothering them, but maybe if they saw that's happening to the people they might show some compassion and work something out with us or at least talk to us. I don't care what the official announcement said...the only thing worse than knowing my first MMO, my first home away from home, a place that let me escape my problems, get out of the house (so to speak), and make and spend time with some of my first real friends is going away forever is not being addressed as an adult and being told to my face, why.

    Triumph Zombies

    Hi everyone. I've got this new character that needs the pumpkin helmet and i've been trying to get a team together for it in game and it hasn't been going well, so I thought I'd try here.

    Here's the deal. I'm looking for some players to help me start up and fight in as many Zombie Apocalypse's it takes to get the badge/costume piece. The extra hard part is this needs to be done on the Villain side.

    First we'll need to complete the Virgil Tarikoss Strike Force to trigger the attack, and then move to the zone to battle them, at which point, the more the better.

    I'm looking to do this ASAP as we get the interest, I already have about 3 or 4 people interested, counting myself so I just need some more people willing to help out.

    And that's one of the problems, no way to make sure it's only one per person so the rewards are fair and equal across the board.

    Another option is have the codes go into random civilian chat .. "Did you hear about the PPD supply surplus? A few boxes of unfinished PPD armor have been auctioned off. The box had the listing ID - - - - - - - - - - -. Perhaps you could get one.

    A final option is use those nice in game billboards.

    Rewards those who pay and play not the ones with the fastest twitter fingers...
    I'd also like to see these codes as a vet reward, high or otherwise, I mean you did it with the sprints and the pre-order helmet, seems close to that. It would also, idealy, take some people out of the running (the vets who would then earn them) giving others more chances at codes and not making long time loyal loving players not get disheartened and agrivated having to jump through hoops like animals...just an idea.

    um....the coralax codes have to be used right away don't they? I don't think you can snag one and put them on hold.
  6. With all due respect, I don't know why you guys are doing it this way again. There was alot of hate with it, lots of upset players, and it seemed like most people didn't have fun with it. I guess I don't see the point here. Aren't contests supposed to be fun? Cause these aren't. I'm glad some people have them, and I do wish I had a chance with it, but I see all these upset people who just want a contest with a fair chance that they can enjoy either way. Good luck with it, I guess...
  7. Here's a question. I've added my code and everything....so....where are my enhancements? how do I get them?
  8. has anyone heard from any new info or are we gonna get a dev response? This isn't ok. I can't log in like he rest of you, first it's all grey servers, then it won't connect to the login server at all and this, from the looks of it, has been going on for way too long and I paid for a whole year, why hasn't there been a rushed fix patch? My friend in Canada can log in, but not me, is this just a states thing?

  10. I think the vast majority of them were the same, giving plenty of time for copy + paste
  11. This isn't really about the contest, it's about exposure. They want people to see them get so much activity on Facebook and Twitter to raise more interest in the game before GR comes out.

    agreed, if only for the first part, just get it over with, heh

    My only gripe when it comes to the packs - or much else - is that we still can't gift them, just apply to our own accounts. If they followed Chaos's idea above and I got one, I'd end up giving it to a friend of mine who's a bit busy with a one-year(and change)-old, but would still love it.

    I agree here, I have two or three friends I'd love to buy this for, but I'd have to have access to their account and that's an awkward situation at best, let alone making it a surprise all but impossible.
  15. wow, I'm sorry, I just have to say, you're character looks awesome.

All I have to do is click once and enter the code and hit enter.

    I haven't won one yet, but you're talking like only Win7 folks can do multiple windows.





    I can button mash 20 keys at random in about a second and a half at most.



    which addon is that, sounds like I need it, heh
  18. wish they were using a picture updating thing so once it's claimed we know it's too late, rather than giving everyones hopes up for a minute or so

    /signed, still get to have the contest and those of us who aren't this special interest group get an actual shot at it too.

    it's not a matter of if it's possible, you don't personally know the winners, I hope they aren't cheating but it's just as possible as doing it fairly. And I'm not the only one who's missed them nor the only one who's said here that there could be cheating, so thanks me making it sound like it's only me.

    with all due respect, even if there are people who can, that's no proof that's how the codes are going so far.
