I really got a kick seeing my/my friends' names posted there...I would always take screenies and send them in emails to the people who missed them. I'd also post a 'gratz' message in our sg motd for members who made it there. Perhaps they could be used in a different way? They are an info center...the devs could decide what kind of info would be available, after players psted suggestions. Anyone have an idea, or what they'd like to see?

I thought so, but wasnt sure. Since I know that defeat badges arent credited in AE, I figured the same would hold true for the defeat count readout on the City Information Kiosk.

Thank you, Champion.

I remember getting a tell from one of my global friends on the first Double XP weekend congratulating me on being the top Empathy Defender on my server... I didn't even know about the terminals until that day - and it was SO COOL for me to be the top something in an MMO... me, the geek who was generally the last one chosen to be on a team in gym class in high school... I was GOOD at something! Yay! (ok, I know that's seriously geeky)|

I do hope they get the terminals back up and running... I miss them.

They died in November of 2008. I know that because I used to track my healing progress (toward the Empath badge) and log my healing done at the end of each month. It worked at end October and not at end November.|

(This was before we could get exact progress by mousing over the progress bar. We used to measure the progress bar with a ruler... uphill both ways... in the snow.)
