Didn't I read something, somewhere about character slots, MA arc slots, character transfers and renames being offered at a big discount for Black Friday?

Hm, dunno but I just did and I'm hoping your prediction/suggestion/wish is true

Champions seems to be offering some packs of some kind and Character slots for reduced prices/freebies thrown in on stuff in their micro-transaction store.

Seen nothing for City of though.

If its like most Black Friday sales, its from 5:30am to 5:45am and there's only a guarantee of 2 per store, no rainchecks.

That is so Trampled Death at Wal-Mart '08.

This year, the cool stores open at 4AM X.X (Only time I'm up at four am is to a) hit the snooze, or b) I'm about to go to bed...)

So glad I only have to shop for my nieces and nephews this year.

On topic, haven't heard anything re: the NCStore for Black Friday. Perhaps they'll be doing something for Cyber Monday instead?

I am military so being up at 4 is a daily occurrence, but I couldn't imagine doing it to go to a store, plus it is a day off so waking about noon sounds great.

Well look at the bright side..

This year, Wal-mart has a couple dozen associates standing at the entrance doors to make sure people stand in a line and enter safely. They also have store maps on their website so you know exactly where the special item you are looking for is going to be. At least they are trying.. lol

Side note.. apparently people were lined up outside the Wal-mart here since yesterday afternoon. Benches, sleeping bags, the whole thing. I guess one group of people even tried to order delivery pizza to "the sidewalk in front of Wal-mart" haha

And from what I understand, apparently some/all the walmarts are going to open (are open already?) before the sales start, letting people get in or something like that.

That would be Division 1 Walmart stores.

Most Walmart Super-Centers are already open 24hrs; with the masses camping out inside. They started coming in at about 9:30pm at my store today.

I was a store director at kmart for five years and i can tell you that black friday can be dangerous...one cashier got punched because they had to come in the front doors to work and someone thought there were cutting in line cause she was wearing a coat over her vest and someone punched her. Another year an elderly lady slipped and three people stepped on her legs trying to get over her instead of helping her..luckily she was just embarrased and not hurt. Black Friday sucks. This was my first year not managing retail for the holiday and i was very happy.

And that goes for any other store, like Best Buy, Target, K-Mart, etc. The news media is 99% morons these days.
I wouldn't say 99%. Maybe as high as 90.

I was there at a local store (working) when we had one lady start slugging another over socks (she emptied the table into her cart, then started going through them. Another lady saw a pair she wanted, grabbed them, and the first retaliated for the "theft".)

There was a nice a proper line in front of the Target I went to at 4:20AM, in the rain. At the local Walmart there was still a line outside at 6:30am since they were only letting people in as others leave.

Local news media report that there was a near riot at the nearby Toys R Us in which the nicely formed lined spontaneously disintegrated at Midnight when the doors were suppose to open. Police were called, the line reformed and the store opened an hour late. No reports of injuries that I heard of. A quick Google seems to suggest this wasn't the only Toys R Us where this happened.

More on track with the OP, you can buy the Architect Edition off of Steam for $10. If you don't mind getting it off of Steam, at least.
