Amazon was selling it for $28 plus tax. I know I'm coming late to game, so where do the Champion server ppl log in?

Most of us are playing on the Asmodean side on Israphel, I'm not quite sure which server Champions are playing Elyos on. I haven't been playing as much lately, but can probably hop on later to get you a legion invite if you need.

Might also install it onto a portable hard drive (as well as CoH/oV, in case I can take this to MegaCon). You can install games on multiple drives, can you?

If you're intending to run the game on multiple computers from a portable drive, it doesn't really work that way.

It will still have to install on every computer, you will just save some time because it won't have to copy/download the files. This is because most of the games have to write something to the registry.

Oh. Ah.

The game just showed up. They said two-day delivery, this was kinda like 1.5. I was expecting it Saturday.

If I install tonight:
1) Where do I go?
2) What's a good AT to start with?

Well hell. I tried the installation tonight. Disc One was no problem at all. I put Disc Two in and the DVD drive starts clicking at me and the install wizard freezes up. /headthump

Computer's not reading Disc Two at all.

I needs to return/exchange it, right?

I would assume so. I personally downloaded it.

As far as classes go it all depends, what do you usually play in CoX?

  • Chanter is mainly a buffer with some heals.
  • Cleric is a healer with some buffs.
  • Assassin is a stealth DPS class like a Stalker.
  • Ranger is just that, ranged DPS mostly.
  • Gladiator I would say is like a Brute, it does damage and has tanking abilities.
  • Templar is the Tank of the game, that's enough said.
  • Sorcerer is a DPS and crowd control class.
  • Spirit Master does damage, has a pet and has some crowd control

I seem to prefer either Blaster (4) or Tanker (3).

Hmmm. I could go with Templar or Spirit Master perhaps.

I shipped the box back, and they're shipping a replacement scheduled for Monday delivery. But I'm seriously cramming for the 602 by then, so while I might install it Monday night to make sure it works I won't seriously log on until... oh, Wednesday.

Install the launcher, tell it to install Aion (The launcher is what's used to launch/update it anyway even if you install from DVD). This way, when the package comes, all you'll need is a key to start playing, and you won't install from DVDs and then have to watch for it to patch up 8 versions.

I have installed the Launcher. But the launcher found error on its install attempt, so I said "bleep" and I shipped the package back to Amazon. I'll get a new package Monday.

Got the new package, installed it. The same problem with Disc Two popped up, so I took it out, wiped it down with an official kleenex (tm) and reinserted the disc and willed the computer using my A+ certified powers to accept the damn disc this time and it worked. I'm now waiting through the update via the Launcher to complete...

I personally am yet to install with the disks, so for all I know mine do the same thing.

Re: Bit bullet, bought Aion

Sounds like what I did.

Bit Cannonball, bought Star Trek Online.

I find it an exceptionally irrational purchase since I don't have time to play any of my presently owned video games, let alone a new one that is probably FUBARed by Jack Emmert.
Yeah, this is just reinforcement that I'm masochistic.
..... And have way to much bloody money.
..... Except I don't.... which is why I don't have time to play video games.
..... What the hell is wrong with me?
