What about the jailbird badge?

Can the devs create an instance to obtain that badge temporarily access it on our older toons?
We've all been more concerned about whether they remember to relocate Jack Wolf from Galaxy City

These will start the NCLauncher with the Beta server selected for install, then just click "Install Now" if you need to.

I dont play blue side enough to think about that. Would be awesome to find him confused yelling "Respec...who wants a respec" only to find out that the zone was destroyed.

He then runs up to Numina and asks if she wants a respec and she sends a spectral messenger to War Witch where she em/Facepalms and Open beta is closed for one last patch that will unfortunately load a 4gig file...

Just for a respec contact

Windows 7 has Run... you just have to right click on the start menu, go to properties and customize, scroll down until you see run command and check the box

Yeah, but why go to all that trouble when the search box does the same job?

Is that him in City Hall? Looks like him, but it's a ways off, so I can't be sure...

I went through the trouble once and still have it available to me, the run window also uses up fewer resources because it doesn't integrate search, very useful for when you have multiple unindexed TBs of external hard drives attacked to your computer for it to try sorting though

Hey Zwill? Any chance you Paragon Studios guys (and gals) are working on a RL Time Manip set? That way we don't have to wait any more....

Zwillinger, do you know if there's a cut off on this grant? I resubbed in the early afternoon (around 1pm EDT) so that I can try the beta with a friend, and I know my access to the server might take a day or two to sync, but seeing this I'm kinda hoping I didn't resub too late for the point grant. I get the feeling that I might not be the only one resubbing today for this ^.^ if not, no worries.

Did I misunderstand and the Beta server isn't accessible yet? Because I tried to access it, and it says I do not have permission. The server was Beta 1 or something like that. Am I just too impatient or is something going wrong?

And yes I have been patching the beta server religiously so that I can play it when I finally gain access.
Glad to see I'm not the only one! Although I mainly do it just so I can have the giddy feeling of knowing when they make a huge update to the beta, which means major progress.
