Hi all,

The official City of Heroes Freedom forums will be down for a maintenance between 10:30 a.m. Pacific Time (1:30 p.m. Eastern Time / 6:30 p.m. GMT / 19:30 CET) and 2:30 p.m. Pacific Time (5:30 p.m. Eastern Time / 10:30 p.m. GMT / 23:30 CET) on Thursday, December 1st, 2011.

Following this maintenance the skin issue will be fixed and all VIP usernames will display as gold.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

I thought gold names were supposed to be optional?

Seems reasonable, thanks Zwill

I hope the gold names override the Help Me!/Helper name colours. Maybe then people will start using those for their actual purpose.

Will they finally fix the blue hero side? I hate having to be logged into red.

This is forum names, not in-game character names.


Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

It is forum maintenance, so they are referencing our forum handles.

See the bold part of the quote: "skin issue will be fixed"


@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.

This is a forum maintenance Sam, not a game server maintenance.

Edit: bah, that's what I get for getting sidetracked

As irritating as that is, I'd much rather they fixed the damned cookies so I can actually stay logged in for more than 1 post at a time!

See my current location for emphasis.

Quoted. For. The ever-loving truth.

Maybe instead of "Maintenance" they should replace the forum software for something that actually works!

I'm with the Baron on that one...
Getting logged out constantly is beyond tiresome.

The forum logout bug is not a priority item.


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. 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'm sure they'll be happy to listen to our feedback, and consider it...

The forum logout issue is one of the factors in my considering droppping to Preem soon. If I can't enjoy the forums, why bother paying for them? I'm utterly sick and tired of Paragon Studios ignoring this problem.

Some Premium players were not getting appropriately logged out ten to fifteen times a day. Hopefully, this board fix will address that issue.

The log out issue is definitely a priority for us here at Paragon, and the web team in Seattle is working on it. This goes on a list of things such as getting the character copy tool working and fixing the Hero skin.

I've been meeting with the manager of the web team every week. This issue is not falling by the wayside as we continue to communicate it as a priority.

Well, just to reiterate, this is a MAJOR subscription-ending point for me. I'm sick and tired of the lack of visible action on this, it's been going on for YEARS and complaints have gone mostly unanswered.

The cookie has been set to 8 hours of inactivity AFAIK. This is as far out as it will be set.

Might want to check that, then. Seems to be more like 8 minutes, not hours...

Dumple, I like you, you're a nice guy and an intelligent poster. However, sorry, but I've kinda run out of humour when it comes to this particular issue...

If you mean I should quit complaining about the forum logout bug, I'm pretty much out of it as is. I only do so when I see a thread or post commenting on it. Sorry.
