If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I guess it was too much to hope that you'd start an extended publish maintenance earlier so it would be done at roughly the same time as typical maintenance.

Oh wait, I'm on a Mac...
Thankfully there is plenty of non-store based i21 content to keep me busy until they can fix that issue.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

You can just leave it run and it should be downloaded by the time you get home.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'turn your account on', but after I21 goes live there will only be one version of the game. If you're a subscriber, you'll be able to access it, and if you aren't, you won't. Then at some point, as yet unannounced, the VIP headstart will end and they will enable Free/Premium access.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

If they did that, then they'd probably have to start maintenance late at night rather than early in the morning. That would mean if anything went wrong, you'd be trying to fix it with people who'd been up 36 hours. That raises the risks of being down for more than a day.|

As it is, 4 am is ludicrously early, and someone deserves some cookies. (And a lot of Starbucks on paragon's dime, of course.)

xD I must've missread them. Thought they meant would they be able to patch and log in. Sorry mate!|

Better to pay it up now to avoid the what ifs IMHO...

I guess it was too much to hope that people would be willing to cut the Devs some slack for launching the most radical set of changes to the game in its 7.5 year history. Many of them are probably expecting to go to work 3 or 4 hours EARLIER than they usually do already. How often do you normally go to work or school 3 or 4 hours earlier than you normally do?|

Hopefully the next time you decide to post something incredibly selfish and stupid in these forums you'll think twice about it...
