Widower

Okay, story time with Widower. A long time ago, in the far-off days of 2005, TonyV thought to himself "'aight, time to make a wiki." And so Paragon Wiki was born. However, hosting providers didn't like it very much because there was a lot of it. In come the Wikia people, who say "hey, want to join with us?" and to them TonyV said "no." And again the Wikia people came, and again TonyV said "no." But by the third time, the last hosting provider TonyV tried was proving to be too small, so TonyV said "okay!" And all was good for about a year (the move was in 2007, iirc, so this is 2008) until people started complaining for, as Wikia was wont to do, they started infesting the place with ads. And so, TonyV nope'd right out of there, merged with Titan, and you know where that story goes. Paragon Wiki continues to be regularly updated to this day; the Wikia version (for they do not pull their version down when the community forks the site) hasn't been regularly updated since, uh, i17, I think? So the moral of this story: use Paragon Wiki. Don't use the Wikia version (or FANDOM or whatever they call themselves now).

It's a false positive, whitelist it in your AV and it'll function again.

If you want those servers, you'll need to add their manifests, which are listed on their sites.

Ooh, I volunteer. As my application, I will note that you are actually incorrect. Task Force Hail Mary originally referred to attempt #2, as evinced by the oldest contents of the eponymous board on your forums. The downix attempt just happened to end up there.

When we switched from SMF to IPB, all the votes in preexisting polls got lost. I imagine that's the issue here.

There will be maintenance this morning, probably around the usual time and probably lasting a little longer than usual.

Never say never, as we've seen with the SG cap, although that was a much simpler (sort of) technical leap, as I understand it.

Are you using the Island Rum beta?

Cipher and I have investigated, and it appears that the default Cream Soda manifest has not been updated in two months, and we believe it is unlikely that it will be maintained in the future. If you continue launching CoH through that manifest, you will not be able to connect to Rebirth, Victory, or even /coxg/, and eventually will lose the ability to connect to Homecoming. We strongly recommend that all players connect to Homecoming through Tequila, which we guarantee will be maintained until a future solution becomes available. If, for some reason, you absolutely must use Cream Soda, you should delete the thunderspy.com manifest and add ours; http://patch.savecoh.com/manifest.xml.

I asked Cipher, and he made the point that if the default Cream Soda manifest is patching the wrong bins, it won't work, since /petition is enabled in the bins. Since we stealth-patched that, I wouldn't be shocked if the Cream Soda dev didn't update it. So, your solutions are either 1. Don't use Cream Soda at all (highly recommended) or 2. Use our manifest instead of the default Cream Soda manifest.

I am yelling at Tempest about this now and we are working to rectify the issue.

edit: concluded

As Jimmy has said, Homecoming will remain free in perpetuity.

As I said earlier and will likely be saying regularly for the next month, that wasn't Titan Network, that was the guy who was in charge of the wholly separate City of Titans, though to the best of my knowledge he wasn't negotiating as lead of City of Titans, either. (It's complicated.) You read about it on Titan Network, but none of them were involved; kind of like how you can watch Congressional proceedings on C-SPAN, but C-SPAN isn't run by Congress.

PM @Mangaand presumably he'll send you the instructions.

It's okay. The game is back.

Hi. Let's cool down in here before I have to lock the thread and warn people, shall we?

Oh, certainly. Can you Perma-Haten in game? I think not.

While I would be incredibly amused if the Leakening was a massive false-flag operation, Titan Network has not been negotiating for 6-7 years. Titan has been negotiating since April. Previous attempts were not Titan. It's not all connected.

I don't know how you got that, exactly, since we've never posted that anywhere to my knowledge (and I didn't even know it was a thing! If I don't know about it, nobody on the GM team does!) but it redirects to the main manifest, so it's really six of one, half a dozen of the other.

We don't operate or support Cream Soda, so I don't believe we can do anything about this.

Uh, one argument at a time, please. XD

Yeah, and it's unfortunate, but somebody's got to do it.

Then you have heard wrong. I'm not saying any of this to disagree with the rest of your argument, mind you - again, I advocate cautious optimism - but I have been telling people that's wrong for nearly four months and I'd like to get the point across. xD
