I'm scared to ask how many emails were in your inbox....

Hehehe, yeah I did that recently on a character to get the latest badge, even though I hadn't gotten any of the others for their anniversaries.

I love badge spam.

Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

Technically they always had them (at least long before I started in I6, anyway), but they only lasted until level 10. The switch was letting you keep them.

I think about the longest I've let characters sit is about a year, as I usually do a sweeping log-in for anniversary badges.

Dec out.

Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

I assure you there was a time when we didn't get origin powers at all.

Now I'm curious what my character with the longest logged-out time is... I'm sure I have one going back to ye olden days on Victory.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

Shortly after the "days offline" counter went in, I logged in one of my characters, then switched to a different one. When I got back to the character select screen, it said the character I had just logged in had been offline for something like 63,597 days.

I really, really wish I'd gotten a screenshot of that.

My story arcs: #2370- Noah Reborn, #18672- The Clockwork War, #31490- Easy Money

Sartre once said, "Hell is other people." What does that make an MMO?

That was a pretty commmon bug awhile back. Some of my chars were around 65000 days since last logged in.


Longest i've gone without logging in a char is 800.ish days, but i have logged her in now O.o She was my first 50, had gotten bored with her.

Only 19 tailor sessions? I have 71! After building so many toons, I think I can get them right the first time.

Reminds me of the screenshot someone posted some time ago of their enhancement tray with the little pop-up window telling them that they can't use the level 648 SO until they were at least level 645 (or similar way-off-in-Never-Never-Land levels).

It depends on how many costume slots you have open on that character, so a character will be awarded anywhere form 1 token to 5 each time they are passed out.

Wha..?!? Have you not heard of Day Jobs? Even my 'retired' characters log in every 21 days if for nothing else, to earn credit towards a new Day Job and use their current Drop Mission for some free prestige.

I don't know if this really counts, since this is just a nameholder (very generic ugly costume on a server I don't yet play on (Infinity): Grey Earl at 1006 days.
