NOTE: Stalemate let his account lapse through sheer carelessness and will be absent from the game for the next week or so.

Odd question, but can people that haven't played since episode 4 went live, be allowed a mentor for getting back into the game?

In other news. I seem to remember playing on Justice *and* Virtue. While Virtue is the unofficial RP server, is there also a fairly active RP group on Justice?
I also seem to remember the LBGT friendly server was the same as the RP server, I keep thinking it was Justice, but that may just be me latching onto the wrong server name.

Anywho, oldbie, back after almost 5 years, wondering if I count as a newbie since so much has changed. (and I have fuzzy memories of what I did play!)

There's enough changes since issue 4 that you'd probably want at least a month of hard core playing before considering being a mentor. Of course YMMV since the basic mechanics of the game are still the same.

Changes since i4:
  • Enhancement diversification
  • Auction House
  • Invention Origin Enhancements
  • Set Bonuses
  • Side switching
  • Merits/Tickets etc.
  • PvP changes
  • Ultra Mode
  • Powerset Proliferation
  • Suppression
  • Globals
  • TF/SF/Master of.../Hami changes/additions
  • Temp powers out the yin yang
  • Day jobs/Badges/Accolades
  • Perk packs and costume sets
  • Base building changes
  • Praetoria/New Zones/Updated Zones
  • VEATs
  • Zone invasions/events

and probably a whole slew of other stuff I forgot.

A good place to go for info is here:

A decent primer on the servers can be found here:

Welcome back Emryss! I have heard that Virtue is a good LBGT server and I know Victory is. You might also want to join the Pride channel as they seem to have a good community.

Thanks Pum and Rose!
Er, I must have still been confusing in my post, I was asking if I could get a mentor, not be one. I wouldn't dream of walking others through the game until I'd played for a season or two, and it didn't take me 5 min to figure out how to join a non-standard channel.
(Still not sure I got it right, N P C was empty even when the server was full. )

My roomie and I were both kinda hit by nostalgia when we got linked an article on Going Rogue. So we just grabbed the free trial and have fallen back into the game. I tend to be an alt queen, so I wanted to be sure I was rolling alts on the right servers... *coughs and then grins*
Seeing as the DJs I remembered from before are all on Virtue, I'm thinking Virtue was my old main server.

(It strikes me that all of this would be moot if I could remember my password or how the five stars I mis-spelled my question answer. Then again, I would also be totally tempted to rename my lore completionist from then just to have all those long since unavailable badges again!)

You can get a mentor of course. I would be happy to help you just send me a tell /t @tritonfree Did you re-up your old account, since trials can't join global channels? What is your global name?

Nope, I'm still on the trial account till Friday. (payday!)
Is that why I can't get N P C to work/show folks? This explains so much.
I will probably try for Emryss as my global handle.
I don't think I can roll an Emryss toon on the new account though, if for no other reason than I took it on the old one. (And yet another reason to keep trying to access the old account. Here's hoping I figure it out by Friday.)

And a million thanks for the Mentoring! You're already helping my poor lost self! XD

Yes, because you are on a trial account, you cannot join global chat channels.

Did you try contacting Customer Service? They will want to know a few things. I'll see if I can dig up the post in their Knowledge base.

I forgot my game account password. (You can still access your NCsoft Master Account.)

There is a plethora* of mentors on the Justice server.

If you're in the N P C channel, be sure to introduce yourself and once the ice is broken we can find someone who'll take you under his/her wing.

Potentially un-Mentory of me but I've been pretty much AWOL for a couple of weeks playing the newly-released Civ V.

But wanted anyone interested to know that I'm back in play, at my odd, late-shift hours (1a-4a ET weekdays and "whenevah" on weekends) on Freedom @Cougarific.

I generally make an announcement "Mentor Project mentor logging on" in N P C and sometimes Broadcast (if I log into a low-level zone), with instructions for joining N P C if sending in B-cast.

Not seeing much activity on N P C in the middle of the night, but vampires, help is there if you need it!

New players playing in the middle of the night - shout for help if you need it!

So Red - you're a mentor or a new player?

(inside joke I actually asked Red that on N P C last night)

And if you hadn't mentioned your global in the post prior, I wouldn't have immediately recognized you in N P C.

I think it's a good idea, it reminds people that are in the channel that it's there. Not everyone looks in their globals or channels to see if someone is on.

Hi everyone... a complete newbie here. I just started playing like this week so I am not even sure how I lasted this long on the game. Hehe...

Anywho... I joined the channel but I am not sure what to look for at the moment... or if it is that no one happens to be there. Well I will try again when I can log back on.


Oh and thanks for making this mentor project... this is a little confusing in the beginning...

There's always someone in the channel... are you sure it's named "N P C" - without the quotes and with the spaces between the letters?

Welcome to the game, and I hope you'll feel comfortable enough to ask for help any time you need it. Paragon Wiki is your friend by the way, for personal research into all things CoH.

If you'll backtrack into this thread, you'll see @Landrig is our coordinator for European servers and there is also a "N P C" channel on these, AFAIK.

Feel free to use the same application form (and external website, if you so choose to register there too), and welcome aboard!

I just heard of this and joined N P C. Been here since I6, and I loved running with newcomers as it is to show them the ropes.

Been here for a while now and I guess someone could use some of my knowledge. Sign me up as a mentor on Union!

Did you sign up using the registration form or at the Mentor Project site?

I'm not seeing your name at either spot.

Seems like I'll have to fill it again. Strange
