Rune

I've had this happen twice to me now as well. It's a weird error, it just .. .takes the influence for posting, shows the line in chat where you 'paid the auction house", then the item blinks back from the selling area and is just in AH storage again, as if you hadn't listed it.. but it still took the influence.

hey, I just want to thank you for this gorgeous location. I come by three different times now with various friends for RP scenes and it has never failed to impress, and I told my SG about it in our OOC chat channel and like to talk it up when people look for a 'local bar' that isn't like, a dive. I usually see one to four other people in there, but I'd love for it to catch on with more so it becomes just maybe a tiny bit more lively. Your excellent job on the place deserves more attention! Edit: A friend posted a thought to me and now that they have I agree with them. This place is marvelous, and I love it, but a "5-star" restaurant it ain't and can never be. Allow me to explain, as a 30+ year career waiter who has worked in fine dining. You have a gorgeous upscale restaurant with dueling pianos, singer spot and stage [presumably the pianos can be removed ad it could just have a band], and a large central dance floor, and the dance floor and dueling pianos is what turns into a club, rather than a '5-star restaurant'. A restaurant of extreme class would only ever have a single piano, where a live player might sit, and no more, and the music would be subdued, not a central theme, as fine diners don't come for the entertainment, the dining with family and friends IS the entertainment. What the Talos Keys Lounge is, is a wonderful Seafood Restaurant, Grill and club downstairs, with an upscale Bar located upstairs. Obviously this bar also serves the busy waitstaff to get beverages to all the patrons downstairs too, but it's more likely in a real establishment there would have to be a smaller service bar located downstairs, probably just off the kitchen, where ever it's hiding in that layout, so the service staff weren't going so far out of their way constantly. it's just to time consuming, would make it impossible for the waitstaff to get people their drinks quickly, and that is a huge no-no in the industry. It's how you get bad marks, rating, yelp reviews, etc. etc. Anyhow, like I said, I think it's fantastic and gorgeous, and I'm hyping it up all over my social channels, but I thought you should pull back on the "5-star restaurant" thing, as no 5-star fine dining place would have large scale loud entertainment disturbing the diners, nor the layout preventing waiters from easily getting drinks to every possible corner of the place quickly and easily.

I remember that time quite well. Spent a lot of time harassing anyone I knew even remotely a Marvel fan. LOL, good times. And yeah. Marvel lost big time, they've done well since then. Technically, when events at the hearing swung against them, Marvel backed off and settled, and nobody but the parties involved know what the details of that settlement were, but Cryptic went out of their way to police rip offs so I have to assume that was a part of the deal.. that Cryptic would at least *try* to cut out obvious infringement. They still generic people in Champions Online when they are reported too. One assumes now that with Disney levels of legal power behind them, Infringement prevention would be even more important than ever. And Disney plays less nice than Marvel ever did.

hey, I wasn't in long, but I was in JG as Wings of Freedom.

Hey all, I began on Champion server when the game launched, as no official RP server had emerged when the game was new, and I mistakenly thought all the Champions Roleplayers would naturally congregate there. when CoV launched I moved to Guardian to join an RP guild there, the Galaxy Guardians. But by the early 2006 i was on Virtue and found my true home. Eventually I ended up with most of my alts in Young Gods of the Golden Age, Next Gen, or All Star teen Sentinels. I used to be @Rune, now @Runes. Characters included, Night-Stranger [i wanted (the) "Stranger in the Night", but it was one character over the name limit. Knight of Swords Knight-Stranger Triune Mode DwarfStar Lost Kitten Runed (even on Live someone had taken my preferred hero name, hit 50, and abandoned the game.. I never got it, sigh] and far too many more to name, much less remember. Champions Online roleplayers will also know me as Rune@Rune.

So, I don't expect this to get me any results, but Rune has been my online identifier and main character for many, many years. From before CoH existed in 2004 even. I was @Rune on Virtue in the old days, as well. [i can't even remember if global handles were the same across shards in the old days now, but I was on Virtue 99.99% of the time after 2006 anyhow.] I also am well known and [possibly] semi-respected leader of the Silver Age Sentinels Role-playing group in Champions Online with my main hero there, where I am Rune@Rune. I have a lot of history and community built up around both the name on a personal level, and the character from Role-playing perspective. When I found that both my name and handle were taken on Homecoming, it was heartbreaking, but if I can at least get the character name back, I'd appreciate it and am willing to trade for it. If I could get the handle back too, that would be amazing. but I can only change that once, so I won't change it unless I can actually get @Rune.
