I saw that E posted the F2P thing on Facebook, but that's blocked at work, so I thought I'd get in over here so more people can see.

The thought is, there will be players coming in, some who are vets returning, who'll want to get in on the planned events. But they can't use the forum. Hmm.

Another thing I thought I'd mention, is anyone thinking/planning on sending a toon to the VIP. To flee the proles, as it were.

=( The forums ate my post.... booooooooooooo....

Basically to sum up what I was just typing:

I may start a new toon or move toons to the VIP server, but I plan on keeping Freedom the Server as my home.

There is talk on the FB group for the horde to utilize Facebook or Guild Portal as a way to include Free or Premium Players in our events. I think as a whole, we need to be more active as a community and step up our game. We need to welcome the new and returning players, and go out of our way to include them.

I hope the developers work out a way to allow the Free or Premium players limited access to the forums. It should be super easy to do, and will make this experience better for everyone involved. If you don't want to be bothered by "troll" posts by free players, then don't go to that section of the forums. =)

46 Toons on Freedom, 1988+ Levels, 17 Level 50's

I've been on Freedom since it was Prime. I refuse to quit my server just because some new folks are moving in on the block.

That bein' said, I'm going to transfer some of my 50's to the new veep server... free up some slots here

Explorer: 93%. Achiever: 40%. Socializer: 40%. Killer 33%.

I plan on creating a toon on the VIP server, but I don't plan on transferring anyone. There is no way to transfer the base my SG has built, and it ain't worth losing.

Werd. Tax gives good base.

My personal sg is just a warehouse that one toon of mine runs.

I've only got toons on Freedom and I parked old alts I keep hanging on to at Virtue last time we had the free transfers. I'd play Virtue, but the RP guys bug me/creep me out. I tend to play female toons so the RPs creeping on me is just unnerving. "I'm a guy" often doesn't cut it.

That's what I do to RPers. Old J-Force joke. I can't even remember where it came from. Has 'em scratching their heads for a minute.

Hmmm.

What if they'll have a new Bases 2.0 for Issue 21?

*ponders the possibility* It's something they've needed to do for a good chunk of the last decade...

I used to tell them I was five, Laser.
