Is there a command used to invite someone to your SG/VG if their character is currently offline?

Thank you for your help, my apologies if this has been asked and answered a hundred times already. I tried a search and nothing useful came up.

Not yet. It is a requested feature, but hasn't made it into the game yet.

I think that Offline Sg Invites is now the #1 Item on the Player Request list. Though in some camps More base Stuff or Undo I13 PVP changes are louder

If it's not the current top #1 requested feature right now it's at least been in the "Top Five" for over 6 years now.
I've seen people post for this "suggestion" at least once a week for years now...

"Let my pre-i18 characters into Praetoria" is a new fan-favorite request. QoL improvements like this SG thing seem to just get back-burner'd until someone has the time to figure it out.

Increased SG roster size, increased global channel limit, level 6 travel powers, return of CoP... so many of those are well-received after years of waiting, but I agree with the devs' history of focusing on shiny new stuff (to show the game's not going anywhere) instead of churning out the player requests.

I imagine this one will eventually happen in some fashion, but who knows when.

Maybe we'll get charged $7.99 for it too :P

At least things like "let my Primal characters into Praetoria" is going to happen in I19.
That info was released by the Devs at PAX a few weeks ago.

But yeah many of these other "oldies but goodies" are still needing to be done.
I guess time will tell.

I honestly can't think of any other item that I would really want than offline invites just so I can invite my own guys.

mark my words... if we get offline SG invites in the near future, I will personally mail War Witch something Canadian.




Thank you, Champion.

Please?
For the love of the man in the sky...
What with side-switching, and having servers full of alts and numerous SG/VG bases and Coalition-ed storage closet bases, and all the new Praetorian stuff that I've barely explored = mostly because I have so much stuff "left hanging".

I've had characters I wanted to transfer during the last free transfer period - But didn't because we had no idea how GR was going to affect SG's/VG's & their respective bases at that time.

Example: On a couple servers, I've got 8-11 or so alts (and some slots reserved for new Praetorians that I haven't actually created yet), but I can't really bring myself to start leveling those alts because they're not yet members of their intended SG's.
So, going up past around lvl 10-15 they'd effectively be "flushing" Prestige, have no TP or Medbay access, and not access to storage - I've got many alts w/ IO's just waiting on them to join and pick them up.

I suppose I could "Glee-mail" them 20 at a time, but that's a fairly recent development... and it would mean tons of logging in & out - which these days - seems to take about 5 times longer than it used to!

And that only solves part of the problem - and I seriously don't want to hear "have someone invite your alts in for you..."
1. No one I actually know still plays this game (despite all my efforts to get them back).
2. I don't want to impose on someone else's time while I'm logging in & out a few dozen times.
3. I play at all sorts of odd hours (= when I have the chance), normally at night.
4. When I get an idea for a new alt - I'd like to be able to create it and put in in a SG/VG = right then... realizing I can't do that on my own has left me with a long rtf/txt file full of character names/AT/Powersets & concepts - and it pains me to think about it all this for more than a few minutes.

I have a spare Key Code for another CoX account - but I honestly don't think could get all the stuff I've been putting aside to do "Later" - finished in one month... not without severely neglecting = basically everything else = including sleep, (and somehow managing not to kill my poor aging PC in the process), and at the end of that month, I'd be back in the same boat I started in.

Okay, if I managed to get all that 'back-logged' stuff done in that one month, it would be "fresh"/empty boat, But still it would be a discouraging spot nonetheless, Can we please get this on the top of the QoL "To Do List"?

I'm thinking maybe Pohsyb could do it...
