My apologies friend. This was not my intention. Although joking almost always is!

You REALLY need to get the server transfers working and the store open, there is mutinous talk about.
Couldn't you make a toon on some other server so you can enjoy the shiny new content NOW and then just use the free server transfer once the online store is working LATER?

Hey Zander...

As of this morning, I too was unable to make a new character on my home server.

Now.. I am a long time vet, since launch stuff long...

I was wondering when this bug was going to be fixed as well because I wanted to make the guy on live I used when I was testing.

I was thinking... I'm screwed till it is fixed. I would have to go to another server and make one there, putz around till the bug was fixed and start it over on the home server.

Never once did it occur to me to use the free transfers to put it back on my home server!

So... Thanks Zander!!!
A very FINE idea you have presented today!! I mean that in a very good way too!!

The beauty of it is, since Praetorians can't be members of supergroups anyway (something they need to fix IMO, but anyway), you're not missing out on any prestige or base access.

After being in the Going Rogue beta, today I just cancelled my montly subscription and went annual. Sent Avatea a longer, more detailed letter for the team, but I'm very happy right now

Don't thank me Citizen! I merely introduced an idea someone else had posted in another thread. All in a days work!

Ok totally kidding about the whole Citizen thing... I just like having fun hehe!

Thanks for someone being positive about the idea finally though.

It's weird how some people think that if you have to "work around" something that it isn't worth their time. Good for you for being positive though!

Well personally, I think that this was a good idea. First, it wouldn't make sense, story wise, for the Praetorians to be part of a Primal Earth SG or VG. Secondly, if there was a Praetorian SG equivalent then they would only have access to this SG until level 20. After that they would be either Heroes or Villains and would lose access to this group.

Now, later on when they get 1-50 content introduced into Praetoria I could see it, but until then I think they made a wise choice. This of course is strictly my opinion though.

I don't know what I like more, Ice Cream or dev posts from War Witch!

Thanks for your time and dedication. It really shows in the game, even if there are ways you can still take the game to the next level.

See? Now you miss it. Admit it, you do.

The character slots are a disaster.

Any news on when this will be fixed?

Edit - and tell your community support to get some English updates also, not just in French.

Edit 2 - being the sweetheart I am, Avatea's most recent post translated in English - per Google Chrome

"All game servers will be turned off in 20 minutes for the application of a patch fix that will solve the problems affecting the recovery of character slots and transfer characters."

Congrats guys!

Praetoria is amazing, and I'm having a blast! I can't wait to try out all the new stuff!

Goooooo team!

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

b^^d to the devs. No complaints here. Launch was as smooth as expected (haven't played a game yet where there were NO issues), and GR is absolutely amazing.

Thanks again all the devs and the code monkeys and the assistants that kept them working.

Going Rogue is fantastic! Congrats to the devs for putting out great content, and having a pretty smooth launch.

I only wish the new content went beyond the low levels. Please say we'll see more of this in the future for the mid-high levels...

Congrats to the Dev team on an excellent launch. I sincerely hope it attracts thousands of new subscribers and I eagerly await the coming on future issues.


Cheers

It's nice to have some proper pretty looking city zones to level up to 20 in as both hero and villain. Not being funny but I wouldn't want to grow up in some of the slums around Paragon or have the sun blocked most of the day from tall buildings squeezed together..It's the real world to some people but I will take my sitting here listening to horses neighing in the fields outside anyday.
Love the maps anyway and the new powersets are pucker too. I didn't take part in the Beta of it so whatever else there is to enjoy after lvl 6 is still yet to come.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Pardon my ignorance of British slang, but I just got a lol from this phrase. I'd never heard it before.

Carry on, thread.

Good job, Devs, and thank you, War Witch.

Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

Good job!, Thanks!

You know that special feeling you get when you put your trust into someone and they don't let you down? I'm an old CoX veteran. They were Cryptic Studios 6 years ago. Then later the cream of the crop got skimmed off and formed Paragon Studios. They have never let me down. I feel proud that I was there at the beginning. I look back with pride and I look forward with confidence that I'll be here for a long time to come. Thank you War Witch, and thank you Paragon Studios.

I don't think I could have asked for a more exciting and enjoyable upgrade. There's something for everyone, I think, from soloists (like myself) to the larger SGs. I think this might just be the best paid expansion I've ever seen (not that I've seen a lot of them, but still...)! What you've done to the feeling of the game is nothing short of incredible. I love how you have started to make choices matter, and look forward to what other sorts of "branching" ideas you incorporate into the game. Truly, an amazing job, and while there might be a small bit of tweaking that needs to be done, this was a very clean release for a very significant upgrade to the game. Keep up the good work, folks!
