Ask em' this one for me: Are there any plans to up the character slot limit per server beyond the current 36, or even to make it so that you could buy an unlimited amount of character slots for a server?

I think the phrasing is important - ask them if NCSoft would consider letting CoH players give them an unlimited amount of money.

Sure, ask it that way if it gets them to make the servers have unlimited purchasable character slots. |

I, for one, would like to know how many licks it takes to get to the tootsie roll center of a Tootsie Pop. Mr. Owl is untrustworthy at best.
When will you be finally unleashed from the burden of the Marketing department's power? When will you finally be able to say what you want to say when you want to say it?
Or are you doomed to be slaves to corporate PR for the rest of your careers?
I can't think of any questions that wouldn't sound bitter or jaded. 
Okay, let me try again...
I think the update of the positron TF REALLY improved the experience of that tf and I look forward to seeing more of these sort of updates of old content in the coming months. Is it possible to also include much more new villain content? The neglect is REALLY hurting that side of the game. ((You should probably bring some kneepads when asking this question.)
Thank You! XXOXXXOXOXOX <3 
Dear Devs, I love your hats! Will new hats fix PvP?
Ask Castle, Synapse, or one of the other powers guys this one:
Are there any plans to more accurately account for the animation time within the context of the dam/rech/end formula, and, if possible, what the formula actually is?
I know Castle was working on tweaking the existing formula for it a while ago, and, while I'm not sure if he ever finished, I'm curious if he made any headway.

I would ask:
Please make it so that we can view the powersets of the other side. The reason for removing it was.......irrational......in the first place.
I don't exactly remember what the reason was, but PvPers did not want opponents seeing what powers they had.
????
With co-op and the upcoming Side-switching, it isn't necessary anymore.

This. Someone needs to ask about what they are planning to do with the EU servers. Merging the lists and giving us free transfers, or just allowing account transfers to the US - either would be fine.|

(See my sig thread "We are one") The devs with War Witch already know about this, but I was thinking that the person with the authority might be present on such a gathering.

At this point I'm not really holding my breath, but I still have hope. |

Count me in for that as well.
Also-
Will we ever get any new Strike Forces for the villains?
And on that note, during co-op TFs will villains and heroes ever be able to trade items like inspirations?
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.

I think they've already mentioned they're working on that.

Another one to ask them - is the new tutorial experience in GR for Praetoria only, or are the two current turotials getting a makeover too?

It appears that several other threads (and websites) answered most of the questions here.
The only real new news I can share is that there are no new strike forces coming soon, and War Witch loves and is listening closely to the EU players.
On, and apparently a lot of folks (including Posi and a very excited female CoH player and her boyfriend) think I look like someone they know....

It took me a good moment to fully realize that you were not a very old and close friend of ours (And only after being face to face and looking you in the eye... that has never happened quite so strikingly).
You were very kind about it... I hope Cylar didn't scare you too much with her excitement!

Sooo, did the question of "Will the server cap for character slots get raised?" ever get asked? Or even the alternative, "Would NC Soft and Paragon Studios like infinite money?"

Devs: Are you ever going to fix the PVP?
Are we ever going to see any more content that is exclusive to one side? Failing that are we ever going to get access to the shadow shard from Redside. (Not through GR.)
Are they ever going to add another university/Midnighter club Redside?
Are they ever going to look at "broken" or "Useless" powers like the Master Mind Merc/ Serum?
