CAP - freedom no action in over an hour, did I miss it?
Oddly enough, I am more excited about getting my first published AE arc done tonight than any of this. Very happy with how it's coming out 
So far about 2 hours, cap red side and nothing. Looks like it's over then.
Crashing to desktop all the time now on Triumph in AP.
Got the Blackguard badge, and all associated badges, the badge for Eochi, and the badge for the Rikti Heavy Assault suits all in about 2 hours, so this has been pretty freaking sweet IMO.
I would've gotten more badges - Winter Lord, and zombie apololypse, but I already had them. This was in Cap on Virtue.
I also sold a candy cane for 1-million since the Candy Keeper is cashing them in in the ski chalet.

Triumph AP went balistic with the spawns.
6 Krakens at once
6 Winter Lords
4 Babbages
2 Kronos's
3 Ghost Widows on top of the globe.. it was very epic....
The Devs made infy happy today
For the love of GOD this better still be happening when I get off work in 2 hours. If not, I suspect that I and everyone else who have real jobs are going to burn down some offices x.x
What's the word on reactivations? None of my friends with inactive accounts have been able to login even though the announcement said they'd be reactivating all accounts (even trial accounts) that are in good standing.
I don't recall it saying trial accounts. Just full accounts. After all, the point is to entice people to start paying for their accounts again, not reactivate free trials.
It needs to be a paid account, I believe. I know why you think trials are supposed to be, they said something about it, but I've never seen them activate trials before.
My old inactive accounts are all working.

"It's A Re-activation Week!
We want everyone to benefit from our anniversary, so from April 28th until 11:59pm EST on Sunday, May 3rd, all expired retail and trial accounts that are in good standing will be able to access the live servers. Now is the time to encourage everyone you know to patch up and jump into the game so that they can experience with you our anniversary events, the new Mission Architect system and more! "
Ahh, I see what the problem is. It's a simple matter of the slippery rules of English. Try breaking the sentence up slightly and it becomes "all expired retail" and "trial accounts that are in good standing", which merely means that inactive full accounts and trial accounts active during the reactivation period. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!
Besides, why not just buy the game rather than complain that the trial account that already let you TRY THE GAME ALREADY isn't letting you play MORE for free?

Because I have the game already, and I wasn't complaining, I was just asking. My friends can't afford it so they rely on trials and such.
Screenshots of the chaos on test in Pocket D, including Hami, the ghost ship and lots of forklifts --> here!
They could save up 20 bucks and buy the Architect edition. That's a month - in another month they would likely have another 15 bucks. Do they drink coffee at starbucks or buy junk food at school? ... .just wondering. it's a good game, good enough to buy and support instead of freeloading.

Well, yeah, but it's not really my business if they can't do something like that. It'd be nice to have them around, that's why I asked, misunderstanding and all. One of them actually saved up and bought CoH, and planned on using the free month but couldn't because he couldn't get a subscription or something. I think he said he was going to get some game time cards later.
If he bought the game, the only thing preventing him from using it, is not having actually activated it via a paypal or visa payment. They could then cancel it, but what's the point?

That's a nice photo... wish I could find where the full version is hiding. Thumbnails everywhere so far *sniff*
That was the most fun I have had in years, and I caught up on 12 badges to boot.

Tonight at 8PM.

Actually before 8pm.
If you were there at 8pm, you'd have found you just missed it... and just missed it on the live servers by the time you came back out from trying to catch it on Test.
Extremely frustrating when you rescheduled your day around it.

Ski Chalet is open both on test and live right now.

well.. remember.. to get Badges for defeating AVs/GMs your team has to deal at LEAST 10% of the damage to said beastie..
And stuck at work.. bummer..
[/ QUOTE ]
I hear you. I'm stuck at work as well for another 2 hours. THEN I get to go to class for another 3-4 hours.
I may only get a couple of hours online tonight. but I'll be damned if I'm gonna miss out on everything today.
