The question was regarding 'everyone can get on test server', no?
Not live. So I'm confused. Because you 'fixed' a quote saying what was actually said, to a fabricated statement. Than in your explanation of it, you said the original statement again. Oh well.

Lol i really got to start reading things fully.... Reading Comphrension FTL.

WOOT excellent....this is a fantastic idea. All you have to do now is increase BIO size 
[/ QUOTE ]
Ah, yes. I /second this and will add it to my 'WANT' list. :P
And while they're at it, could they improve the text handling in the bio? Trying to simply 'BACKSPACE' or 'DELETE' can cause some serious messed up text.
So, again, not to rain on an awesome announcement, here are three things I am asking to be improved;
- Improved character switching (same server)
- Expanded BIO space
- Improved text handling in BIO
I have a bigger list, but I don't want to overburden. I'll go to the suggestion thread now...

This is great news!! I cant wait for issue 12!!
I just have a suggestion about the character selection screen. Not sure if it has been debated in the past, but I'm going to ask anyway.
Would it be possible to have the option to log out directly to the character selection screen without having to input your password again? Sorry for my laziness
[/ QUOTE ]
My thoughts - and query - exactly. I even posted about it in this thread. I guess we need to start a petition in the 'SUGGESTIONS' forum thread? (if one doesn't already exist... that is.)

I believe petitions are against forum rules? But you could start a discussion thread about it.

It has been discussed ad nauseum for years. The given reason for why it is the way it is, is for security. So that someone can't log you out and delete all your characters. If they log out to delete a character, they would have to be able to log back in.
Whether this is effective, or outweighs the convenience factor doesn't much matter at this point. Feel free to bring it up in another thread in Suggestions. I expect you to get quite a bit of resistance, and lots more bickering, and probably not a few attacks for bringing it up again. Try not to take it too hard. Not everyone has been on the forums or playing the game as long as some of us, and don't know that this is not a new topic.
As the other poster said though, don't try to make it a petition, because that is against the forum rules.

Yes, I suppose I could have searched (endlessly) through the forum to locate old posts about this. But that would take precious time away from actually playing.
That all makes sense, though. I guess for that reason I can understand and concede to the necessity of security.
I guess using 'petition' was too strong a word for this context, in a forum. Although, in my defense, the word itself can also mean; {from dictionary.com}
PETITION:
2. a request made for something desired, esp. a respectful or humble request, as to a superior or to one of those in authority; a supplication or prayer: a petition for aid; a petition to God for courage and strength.
3. something that is sought by request or entreaty: to receive one's full petition.
However, I'll be sure to use the term of request from now on.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to be a jerk about it. I know it can be a pain to actually find some stuff. Just thought I would pre-empt some of the stuff you are likely to run into. Especially the "petition" thing, because it is sure to set off some people.

or, in the case of the forums, a bunch of people just making posts that say "/sign"
It is against the rules because it's just "bumping" a thread, which is against the rules. So, you make it a suggestion, open it up to suggestion, word it so that it's discussed with "Yeah, i agree because..." not
/sign
/sign
/sign
/sign
A "sign please" petition is against the rules, not simply saying "Hey, I'd like to see this feature!"

I see. Well I understand the security reasons, but I just want to know why this person is at your unattended PC in the first place, logging you out of the game to maliciously delete your characters I mean its your own stupid fault if you leave a public PC (internet cafe) unattended, but I would have thought a majority of players would play from home.
Maybe have an option in the in-game options menu that allows you to turn this feature on or off by inputting your password to allow it. I dunno, maybe I should leave this for the suggestion thread lol

Oh no, I didn't get you wrong at all. You were by no means a jerk about it. You stated clearly and addressed it in a rational means. I was glad to have your input. It would take an ungodly amount of time and energy to find all that info. And you saved me from a huge waste of time and headache posting it elsewhere. Thank you.

Yeah, I wondered about the first bit there myself. Although, I do understand the implementation therein to save people from themselves (i.e. their own naive, forgetful, or neglectful selves). I do like the idea of making it a selectable option secured by password. Good suggestion, though not sure of the likeliness or potentiality that it would/could be an added function.
But it would be nice.

The answer is quite simple - many people outside of America or Europe play at internet cafes. Even though it's easy to say "it's your own stupid fault" if you don't fully log out at such a place, those people would still yell or whine about it if and when it happened. It's simply easier to force you to have to log in again and avoid the whole scenario than to implement a logout to character select or even add an option to enable/disable that feature.
On a related note, and I'm sure I'll get flak for this - is it really *that* big of a deal to log yourself back in? I mean, how much longer does it take? 3 seconds? maybe 5?

For those of us with crappy computers, it's more like: "3 minutes? Maybe 5? Maybe 3-5 disconnects before you actually load up?" You never know. But I am ok with logging back in, because it isn't actually a big deal...
Um, also... Yay character slots!

Yeah, it's not a huge deal to me, either. It is just something I thought I'd like to have, to save time.
It is, however, frustrating when you try quickly switching out to another toon {to join a team, etc.) on the same server and it takes almost 5 min or more. That can almost seem like a lifetime in gameplay. Just saying.
But we're getting waaaaay off subject here...
Yay Slots!

GET WITH THE PROGRAM PEOPLE!!! This was a perfect opportunity for a prolonged flame war AND YOU BLEW IT!
Keep it up and the boards might just become a place more people want to visit. And we all know we don't want that.

lol. I seem to have that effect on forum threads.
But your post did give me an idea. I'm heading over to the Custom Weapons Request thread...
Meh. I didn't get much sleep last night, so my head is a bit 'off' and I might be overlooking something. I'll go look on ParagonWiki for answers... be back when my head clears. 
EDIT:[u] I removed an amount of the post that was unrelated. It was meant for the above mentioned custom weapons thread I've been posting in lately. See, my head was all mixed up this morning.[u]
