Aika's (Second) Introductory Thread


Aika Tenlo

 

Posted

You guys may (or may not) remember me, but around last year, I joined the CoX universe as Reina Akikawa. For some private reasons, the master account (ncsoft) is no longer available for use, and Reina Akikawa will be no more (along with several other characters that I made). Just search for "Aika" (no quotes) in this forum and you'll see me somewhere in there.

That aside, I'm excited to join you all for another month, also probably my last, as my (overprotective) parents forbid me of buying P2P games now.

I'm also using Steam for this game, add me at aikatenlo if you have it, and I think my global name will be @aikaten.

Discuss. (Preferably about cookies, cake, anime, manga, games.. Or randomness.)

Shadow_Ravenwolf will know me (I hope?) and some other people whom of which I don't remember their forum names!
-EDIT-
Kheldarn and Ulli also.

Maybe, if I get a job or something.. But that's about a 20% chance. Game is patching at 73 kb/s right now.. so it's gonna be a while >.<.. 3 hours and 41 minutes left.

Did someone mention cookies?

They're chocolate chip.

After a complicated fix (figuring out that my bro was also downloading something, and asking him to stop) CoH will now finally take only half an hour. 319 kb/s.

It seems that I missed Ulli in the people I remember.

YAY!!

Welcome Back!!

Yes, I do remember. Hopefully you can get a part time job maybe and stay longer.

As for your Master Account, It's still there. Accounts never go away unless you were banned, which you weren't. It's just a matter of remembering your Login Name and Password. I know it's been a whole school year since you were last here, but it's worth a shot to try to remember your main account's info.

While my Global Lists have been full across all my accounts, I have opened up the Ravenwolf Manor Global Network to public status in recent weeks. It is now open for all players who would like to find good people to team with and run TFs, Mishs, or even hang out and chat.

I am profoundly surprised by the obnoxiously large and fancy text that was used. And the reason of why the account is not in use is not that I can't remember the info (discussion of this is also not about cookies). Anyway, I'll be sure to join the channel once I get a character up and running. I want to get super jump right away, but getting to where I was will be quite a challenge, I'll have no monies to buy good enhancements.. My beautiful enhancement sets ;_;..

-Edit-
Starting up the game now, will post when I'm finished making my character, have to get familiar with the (I heard) new system for making them, and classes and powers and stuff....

Okay, made my character. Going to run around in Atlas now

If anyone wants to, add me at @aikaten or Kimiko Neko.

This is also a name I remember. Thanks for a warm welcome everyone.
That's funny, because I made a catgirl (Kimiko Neko = "Young Cat Empress" (roughly) in Japanese) in game.

Thanks for cleaning all of that up.

I noticed that there aren't as many people on as before.. Did Champions kill it? Seriously, I only saw like 3 people in Atlas AE and 10 people in Atlas overall yesterday.. and all of the servers were green for population.. There also weren't 50 people spamming "LVL XX+ AE MISH LFM" or "LVL XX CLASSHERE LOOKING FOR AE MISH".

First, Chumpions didn't kill anything. It unzipped, got laughed out of the house by his girlfriend, and tripped over his bicycle trying to ride home.

The population here on Guardian has actually been swelling as new players come in and old veterans return. There are several reasons why Atlas isn't the over-laggy bustling hub of "PL Meh" and "Gimme Gimme Gimme" it once was during the AE Heyday.

One, AE has been significantly altered as blatant exploits are fixed. Closing these gaping holes in the mechanics that led to "Lvl 50 in 30 minutes or it's free" has sent many a newbie into the real world of the game.

This game is heavily instanced, so you're not going to see many people in the open world and many long time vets are hidden. Use /search to see those who aren't hidden and make use of Guardian, Level 50, and Ravenwolf Manor global channels to find teams and such.

All of the servers being "Green" for population is no real indication of server population. The hardware was upgraded not too long ago so much so that even the busiest servers see Yellow only in really high peak times. The color indicates server loads. Click on any server except Guardian, click to go back to server select, and look at where Guardian is in the Server List. The closer it is to the bottom, the higher the population is at that given moment. This is also subject to change minute to minute and doesn't count people like me who are running more than one account at once.

As to not having 50 people spamming "AE Gimme Gimme" crap, I see no problem there.

Since you first arrived in and survived the fever-pitched heyday of AE, I might suggest that you just follow the normal course of contacts and visit the really real world outside of AE for a bit. You're probably still going to find stuff to do in AE. It's more on par, if not below reward levels, with regular content.

The last thing I advise is patience. Going Rogue will be here in Mid-late August and you very well may find yourself swamped in new players and Vets alike by then. Right now, many of the regulars are elsewhere, busy with life, or are just waiting for GR to show back up.

Boogedy Boogedy!!

That was a truly amazing and teary explanation. No really, I can't believe you took the time to write all that.
Thanks for explaining too
