Isn't this thread against the board rules? 
Anyway, thanks for the news. I don't think I'll bother with it, but contests can be fun.

Good luck to those that can enter.
I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.
Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.
So sad to be ending ):

Not entering the contest myself, because I'm not playing Lineage, because I don't want to play a strictly sword-and-sorcery MMO. Superheroes are where it's at.
... Speaking of which, I'm working part-time at GameStop for the holidays (what with having lost my REAL job in October), and I just sold a woman and her son on City of Heroes this morning when she was asking if I knew any good free MMOs.

I remember at one time they said absolutely no other games. So are they going back on this? If so they need to clarifiy what is and what isnt ok to talk about. If they dont then this thread is to be considered entrapment.

You're not wrong--it used to be completely taboo. But they revised the forum rules during the first forum changes when CoH Freedom launched. Now we're allowed to mention, but not discuss, other games. (One could, for instance, now say they played a different MMO, as long as they didn't go on about features of the game or comparing it to CoH or other games.)|

As far as moderation goes about mentioning other games, though, they pretty much said it'll be handled on a case by case basis.

Well another contest I cannot enter,but is this the first time it has been mentioned on the forums or did I miss it if posted before,the only reason I ask as today's date is end of competition
Prof Radburn controller,Celtic Ice Maiden,blaster,Miss Knockout scrapper,Mistress Davina controller,Stone Hart,tank Split Personality PB.Queen Lostris controller,Fridgid Mary blaster,Shocking Fire blaster Future Elfling defender, Little Weed controller,Capo Angelo MM, Commander Buzzsaw MM, Justice Tank tank all 50,s
It is beyond me why CoH would want to endorse another game. Even if it is run by NCSoft - just doesn't make any sense to me.

Waiting for the EU contest. Because there's going to be an EU only contest, am I wrong?

Yes, I'm being... hmm, about 85% silly, 10% snarky and 5% serious, here.
I can't be the only one here whose first thought was "I don't play any of those other games (anymore), and I'm not likely to."
Still, a nice contest for anyone that DOES play all or most of these games. Good luck to any entrants.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

You weren't the only one who thought that. My main reaction to this contest is <yawn> and "That's nice" spoken with a syrupy Southern accent.
