How can I tell if GR has been applied?

Just reinstalled CoH from the site download and am wondering if there is a way I can tell if GR has been applied. I have it unlocked on my account but am wondering if the start up screen has changed or anything like that.

Reason I ask is that the game patched from the downloaded and I'm not sure if I should install the expansion (as it may have installed from the site).

Find a blank character slot.
Pick "Start new character."
See if "Praetorian" is a choice with Hero or Villain.

Like so:

There is also the morality tip system for switching sides, accessing Praetoria through Pocket D, and joining an Incarnate Trial if you are level 50 and don't want to create another character.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

Fastest way is to load the game up and try and start a new character if you’re given the option to start a Praetorian then your golden. But really everyone has GR installed, there is ONLY one game, from the moment I18 went live you had it, it’s just now that you unlocked it and patched a few links to make everything run smoothly.

I could be wrong, but I thought you can still get tip missions without GR. You just can't get the Morality mission.

Also, if you're already on a character, you can check for the Agent of Order/Chaos/Praetoria badge under Accolades.

Correct, even without GR you get the Alignment Tip mission, but you wont get the Morality mission.

Upon re-reading, I probably just misunderstood what starphoenix was saying.

you really can't tell the change until you make your first Praetorian Character, once you click on a blank character Slot you will see 3 choice Heroes, Villians and Preatorian, that when you no it's Works.

Have always played with GR attached for the morality system so I don't know what restrictions there are to it without GR. The morality mission is obviously missing, but I assume that gaining credit for other alignments and the allowable tip missions might be just hero or villain depending on current alignment. Can't do a vigilante mission if you are a pure hero with no chance of falling.

FYI, there is nothing else to install. The game client is identical whether you have Going Rogue or not. Going Rogue is simply a 'flag' on your account information.
