In one little corner of the universe, there's nothing more irritating than a misfile...
(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
I just might show up. I'll have to check to make sure I've got my main on Test Server.
Well, I might show up, if I can ever get test updated. (It's currently at 168 minutes to go, and only 3 of 62 files downloaded. *SIGH*)
(The sound files are taking the longest. I'm wondering if whomever created the file format decided to make a statement with the .pigg suffix?)
Global: @All-American Teen
70 toons across 11 servers.
Top hero -All-American Teen lvl 50 eng/invul Tanker (01:10 EST; 1/24/09)
Top villian -Poisoned Plum lvl 30 robots/devices Mastermind
Um... will this be handled like Incarnate Trial testing and costume code giveaway of a few months ago where some of us ran a bunch of trials and then found out the costume codes only went to those who stayed and partied with the Devs in Pocket D?
Not that I'm still bitter or anything... :-P

Okay, I just HAVE to ask. What gives with making a .pigg file so big, that even at 365 KBs/sec, it still take over 15 minutes to download? Just what is in it (texMisc.pigg BTW) that warrents it being so big?
(25 minutes to go. I don't know if I'll be able to keep awake until 4 AM to finish this.)

I might turn up im not sure yet, it all depends on one thing really.
Can you turn purple recipe drops off during it so i wont cry if i get one on test?
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

1: Pigg files are a kind of archive, with a whole bunch (WHOLE BUNCH) of smaller files inside. The pigg filenames are a kind of hint as to what's inside them. So you're not downloading a file so much as the whole cabinet. That said, do not go looking for a way to open them up, pigg diving is expressly forbidden in the Terms of Service.|

Also, you shouldn't have to attend the update, it should be quite automated.
Hello, my name is @Caligdoiel and I'm an altoholic.
I will assume that the event is in Pocket D, but you might want to mention that in the announcement.

My first reaction to this is "Maybe je's got other non Dev friends to bring for it. That or je's plotting to bring you and 3 other forum'ers." That or Ritki monkeys.
This sounds cool, I'll have to try to be on test to watch it all unfold.

Still hate the visit Winscott mission- make it dropable, have it give actual exp or remove it altogether. PS- Down knows who you are.

Want to attend, but may be out... Ah well, if I make it I make it. If I do, it'll probably be around the 8pm EDT (so 9 from my perspective) one.

Is this correct? I figured that would be where I would head.

Thats odd! It tells me my account has expired, please fix training room devs.
Is it just me, or does it seem empty in the Training Room. Pocket D, Atlas, and RWZ were all ghost towns, when I checked.

Edit:
I also -regularly- log into the test server to maintain my global chat handle, and have seem to have lost it... I'm not happy atm.

Well, the test server version is the same as the live server vesion (or at least it was last night), so there's nothing to test currently.|

And since any progress you make or items you collect on the test server don't matter, the only real reason to go there outside of testing is for cross-server PVP or developer events.

Where is everyone?

Well, I wanted to make sure I still had my global name, which I apparently don't for some reason.

My bad...
I'm gonna crawl off and die of embarrassment now...

I just checked, I logged into the test server 30 days ago and my test server chat handle was "@Snow Globe" then, now it is "@Snow Globe1". Worse, I can't change it back as it is "taken". What happened?

Want a chance to run some TFs with members of the development team? How about a costume code giveaway of the brand new, SDCC-exclusive Mk-VI "Victoria" to sweeten the deal?
We'll be running two special developer events on the Training Room
Wednesday, July 27, from 11am PDT (2 pm EDT / 7 pm BST / 8 pm CEST) to 1 pm PDT (4 pm EDT / 9 pm BST / 10 pm CEST), and again at 5 pm PDT (8 pm EDT / 1 am BST / 2 am CEST) to 7 pm PDT (9 pm EDT / 3 am BST / 4 am CEST). Developers and OCR will be on to run missions, chat with players, and randomly give out EU and NA Mk-VI "Victoria" costume codes to a few lucky players! If you weren't able to make it out to San Diego Comic Con, you'll have a chance to get this exclusive costume code. It'll be a blast, so come join us!
