So, to be clear:
1. This is NOT a double-xp weekend.

I need to play more in Praetoria. I haven't even got to the parts with the struggling, ripping intestines yet, but I can only hope it has something to do with the ghouls. |

Will expired trial accounts (like the ones we invited our friends to play with for 10 days or so, I know the character is still in the DB) be reactivate-able too? Makes sense since even new accounts will join in, but I wanted to be sure before I invite my brother to come over again to play with me.
Playing CoH with Gestures
Reactivation weekends usually have something for all the playerbase.
Perhaps those players who are active and have GR get the 2xp weekend we are accustomed to having, those who have not been active, or do not have GR get the bonus of seeing the new content.
Not upset or anything, just, reactivation weekends are something I really look forward to, as a means of really getting some xp.

Issue 19 surprise tommorow or is it the bug fix for of the recent annoying bugs.
Friends don't let friends buy an ncsoft controlled project.

I wish it WAS i19. I am so burned out on waiting for the good stuff. That would play well for a reactivation weekend -specifically this one- and would be a very smart move.|

Did I19 ever get to beta? I haven't kept up.
If not, I think its just bug patches.
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
So, 2 VERY important things to note:
1) Nowhere is there any mention of this being a Double XP Reactiviation Weekend. Don't be surprised if there is no Double XP.
2) It says, "Praetoria will be accessable for ALL accounts". Note the key word, "accounts". Not, "characters". So, before anyone gets their hopes up, do not expect to be able to take any Primal Characters to Praetoria. Not unless Issue 19 has gone Live by 10/7/10.

Please let it not be Issue 19. I am so hoping they work on the lag and mapserver issues before another Issue comes out. Not to mention all the other little bugs.|

As for Issue 19 going to beta, I doubt it, Issue 20 was supposed to beta first.

Good points and I am pretty sure Issue 19 will not be live until around Mid-November, maybe even into December based on the past publishes of new Issues. Every three to four months is about normal.

While intestine has a secondary meaning which people are unused to and is correct in its usage here, it's primary usage makes it an unfortunate choice since that is what most people will think of.|

A better choice would be internecine.

I wonder if we will get another before the end of the year? IIRC, we've only had one this year so far.

Can a player who doesn't have Going Rogue switch sides?
Quote:
According to the GR and CoX websites, that would be a no. The tips system is part of Issue 18, but the Morality System is part of GR. Therefore you would need GR in order to switch sides.

Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

Why wouldn't they be able to? The announcement said that everybody will have access to Going Rogue for 4+ days, and that is just enough time to switch over a character. Unless they somehow lock out just that feature...

I'll have the chance to duck EU side and maybe also move a Brute or two Blueside in the process. Interesting

On a personal note:
I finally get to get my Storage SG back from my inactive account! WOOT!
Quote:
AND all of the new powersets... Why lock out just one of the features of the expansion? That doesn't make sense to those people that may reactivate for that mechanic if they can see what it is like, but don't give a flying squirrel about re-doing levels 1-20 (errrr, 14 for this time period). A little clarification is needed, me thinks...
