We have not announced when it will end. Do you have a specific concern regarding the wisp aura giveaway/launcher promotion?

If I had to guess the "specific concern" is probably whether or not any future characters and/or accounts will be able to get access to this aura or not. Why else would anyone ask when the promotion would END? |

Since it's account-wide, I already have it. I just have a macro that broadcasts about it {for those who haven't heard yet} so I'd like to avoid dashing people's hopes if I do it after the promotion has ended.

Still I think your key "concern" was pretty obvious - you'd like to know when it's going to end and the redname more or less answered you.
I strongly suspect this wisp aura will be introduced to everyone as a free aura in I20. It's already in the game and it would make very little sense for it to ever become an "unavailable exclusive" at some point. Basically I think they just made it a "bonus I20 preview" for those people willing to adopt the new launcher early.

I dunno, the announcement does say "for a limited time". But since said redname also said "announced" and "yet", I'm guessing there will be an announcement before the plug gets pulled.

History has shown us that basically nothing that was ever given away as a "limited exclusive" in this game has remained exclusive forever. I suppose it would always be possible for the Devs to decide to make this one aura be something they never again offer us via any other method. But that would be realtively silly all things considered.

Wasn't there a Sprint power that was given away to those who Beta testes CoH that still hasn't been released to the public?|

I wasn't in the beta testing of CoH, so I don't know.
I seem to recall something like that, but I could be mistaken.
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

There are five "Prestige Power" sprints in the game. Four of them were pre-release exclusives that have since become the 12 month Vet award. The fifth (Prestige Power Slide) was part of the City of Heroes Collector DvD/Hero Bonus Kit. If you can get a code for that kit you can have that power too.

You mean Prestige Power Slide? That was part of the City of Heroes Collector DVD/Hero Kit Bonus Power.

The CoH Collector's Edition can be had for the low-low price of $99 on Amazon. In other words, it's for all intents and purposes unavailable.

Yeah I found it odd that Wisps don't unlock account-wide. You have to log in with every character to get it and like you said earlier, wouldn't be available for new toons if it isn't part of a future update.

That was my inital thought. But I've been told by red-names that it is account-wide, and you only need to log in 1 character.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:
I think it's the hesitation of some to install the NCLauncher due to some of the problems and horror stories about in here and on the Tech board with some posters talking can't getting live or the beta to work, needing to uninstall the game, etc.
Misinformation, climate of fear, fear of change, computers are scary, blah blah blah. Same old, same old.

Mine on Ebay for $10. $15 after shipping, which paid for itself with the free month of game play. Did the same with the City of Villains box set. Now my little plastic people shout taunts across the office at my room mate's DCU heroclix. |

Is there a version of the Launcher for the Mac yet? If not, will Mac players still be able to get the aura?
Quote:
Oh please that's a fantastic price for a limited run edition that's over 7 years old and originally sold for was it $49.99 or $59.99?|

As opposed to the WoW collectors edition that's currently selling on Amazon for $2,000.00
or the Guild Wars collectors edition that's selling for $889.99 on Amazon.

Answer 9: There will be a Mac OS version of the updated NCsoft Launcher. We will be giving you more information on this as soon as possible. Question 10: Do I get anything from transitioning over to the NCsoft Launcher early? Answer 10: As mentioned before, the sooner our PC players start using the NCsoft Launcher, the sooner they will get access to a brand new Wisp aura on your live account. As for our MAC users, you will all get the Wisp aura once the NCsoft Launcher is available for the MAC client. |

You're just seeing a side effect of how the account-wide unlock works on pre-existing characters.
