On the bases opening up I'm not sure; probably sometime in the issue 7-8 era.

And I'm pretty sure the rejection notice when trying to enter a base specifically said that CoV was required. It happened to me before I finally upgraded... but I can't provide the exact wording.

You could be right there; it's been a long time since I saw that message and I could be forgetting. I'm surprised it was so late that things merged, I could've sworn it was pre-IO when they granted everyone with either game access to both.

Well the only reason I knew for sure that it wasn't Issue7/8 is because that's when I started playing. lol|

That said, it's possible they didn't originally have a specific message set up for the Base portals when they first came out, but it happened to be there by the time I came along.

Odds are the exact text is still buried somewhere in the game's client-side files. They almost never take anything OUT of them, they just add new stuff and don't ever reference the older stuff anymore.

Might be a P-String which means it won't be found client-side.
