CoT will have a realistic chance of seeing the light of day once they look for and find a real investor to put real money into it and have a team work on it full-time. I stopped following its development many years ago.

There's no way it will be as engaging as CoH so I doubt the feelings will be the same. CoH is special not because it's an MMO, but because it's an MMO that allows you to put your mind and feelings into it like no other. Who gets attached to Shiny Paladin #35478790? Just make another Shiny Paladin somewhere else. This game will be as replacable as any of its peers.

The fundamental issue in the above example is that something as ordinary and commonplace as simply "Apple" can be trademarked at all.

The costume contest should be hosted on the forum. Discord is fine as a spillover mechanism, but moving essential community-building/-nurturing activities over is the basis for the death of forums all over.
That being said, I think my best costumes are for my Necro/Pain MM Mater Dolorosa and my Radiation/Mental Manipulation Blaster Aariru Mahhuutu (really Āriru Maḫḫūtu; which should mean something like "curse-uttering priest of madness" if I didn't butcher the Akkadian grammar, I just used a dictionary):

The theme song for my Savage/Dark Stalker Terror from the Deep is the music of the game that very bluntly served as primary inspiration:
The theme for my Titan/Dark Scrapper Nakukomodamaru (scary enough to quieten a crying child) might be this, the sutra that you'd chant to get rid of evil spirits in Japanese buddhism:

We are now able to greatly improve the quality of the world by playing with the visscale value, but characters still pop in at very short distances, and distant details are still covered by unseemly smog 24/7. This creates a jarring visual dissonance and impacts the overall experience.
If options are added to remedy these visual issues, it will greatly improve the player experience and immersion and go a great way to making the game feel more technologically up to date.
IN addition, as these settings have a significant impact on the overall user experience, once added offical introductory documentation should include directions on modifying these values, and how to create macros to keep reapplying them with ease (as a preferable alternative, find a way to make the changes permament). This should be done with visscale already.

Exceptional ambience for an exceptional environment.

I created a Necro/Pain Domination MM, loosely inspired by the "undead father" concept behind Nurgle.
Her name is Mater Dolorosa, and the idea is of a mother whose love extends beyond the grave and who endures great pain in eternal devotion to her children. The costume is a mix of Imperial Dynasty, lace, a high-collar mantle and other elements supported by a tall, slender and extremely buxom physique to create an imposingly regal and hyperfeminine and fertile look, with the undead side of things being driven home with the super pale skin and the supernatural face. I made her good-aligned, since love and devotion is always a "good" emotion, even if it extends beyond death.

I'm having the same issue. If OP or anyone has found a solution, I'd love to know. The music slider is innocent though.

My new Symponic/Sonic controller was inspired by her.

Tell them to open up a place here in the States because I really want to try that.Sourdough is super easy to make so I suggest trying yourself! Although getting an oven to perform well enough for proper pizza can be tricky. I think there are tips floating around on the web though.
The quality unfortunately dropped dramatically when they recently changed the packaging from a papemache surface wrapped in thin breathable plastic to a thick, sealed plastic bag. It now gets really soggy sitting around on the warm food counter.... 😞-

If the safe mode client goes away the game will be unplayable for me. I'm running it under wine on Ubuntu Linux. I've tried both the 32 and 64-bit clients and can't get either to run. They crash and exit immediately. I've been hoping that there would be a new guide for Linux users but haven't come across any updated instructions.
Same for Mids', unfortunately. It seems that Mac users have better community support getting all this stuff to work.
If you start wine-games using the CLI, you should receive a log of everything that happens in the CLI, including any errors that pop up. Might give you a hint as to what's causing the crash. At least it works like that for starting Steam on Linux, helped me figure out a lot of missing dependencies and other issues back when I was devoutly non-Windows.

With all due respect to costume designers who are not female, we really need some girl costume love:
--Long skirts
--Skirts/shorts that don't cause visual problems with tops
--Makeup fixes. Love the ability to choose lip color, but no woman wears the same color on both lips and eyes. Except goths, I guess. We need to be able to do lips one color and eye makeup another.
--mid-thigh skirts that aren't doofus looking
--new hair designs. I'd love a super long (to knees or feet) flowy hair choice.
--jewelry. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets.
--new head choices like cute hats a woman would actually wear, a flower (that doesn't need crazy "leaf hair"), etc.
Try to throw your suggestions down here and see how it goes!

The first thought that came to mind was "Histoire d'O" but I'm guessing few people would get the reference, and those that do might be offended (water is "eau" in French, pronounced "O", so roughly translated "Story of Water", but Histoire d'O is also the title of a French Erotic novel. See, a bit convoluted 🙂 )
Don't worry. I'm sure people familiar with the Story of O will not feel offended by a reference in the slightest, au contraire, I think they'll be drawn to it! As they say... "Gooble goble, gooble goble, one of us, one of us!"

This guy looks strikingly like an in-game version of actor John de Lancie, aka Star Trek's "Q".
I don't really see it, but I can sorta see where you're coming from. Certainly got the hair! It was just the closest approximation to a chonmage available.

Honestly I think all of my designs are quite nice (or I wouldn't have stuck with them I guess), but I feel like these are the most visually cohernt and striking ones I got.
First is Ilati Lapan.ak, Grav/Time Controller. Name is hurriedly huddled together Sumerian and should mean "Goddess of All" if I got my crash course right. Juist supposed to be a kind of goddess character shaping the world around her.
Second is Quaternionenadler, Peacebringer. Cheesy take on the Imperial Eagle and Holy Roman Empire in general. The name refers to a way to depict the Imperial Eagle with all the Coats of Arms of the major constituent countries spread across its wings, which was very famous back in the day.
Third is Yamasan, Staff/Invul Brute. For him I got a "peace time" outfit, a "war time" outfit and a "Japanese take on the Hulk" form. He's supposed to turn into a hulking Oni when shit gets serious. The name basically means "Mister Mountain".

Its not a big server because of what it does, its a big server because it had its foot in the door of establishing itself as the major server before the code was leaked to the masses, so it had a much better chance of gaining the majority of the playerbase as a result.
That is not how things work on the internet though. Cases in point: Myspace and Yahoo. Or forums. The Usenet! Newgrounds! The list goes on. On the internet things stay dominant because they are preferred by the market, unless they have the power to actively push competition away or the money to simply buy them up. Neither is the case with Homecoming - indeed you could argue it suffers a reputation malus for associating with Leandro. Sure, most people hear of Homecoming first, but it takes a day or two at most until they hear about the other servers ad what they got on offer. Homecoming is just good and satisfies the needs of most people just fine. I know about other servers and their cakes and new builds. I am just not interested.
CoX already has more than 10 years' worth of content, most of which is like new to almost everybody who played it years ago. Content is not a pressing matter with CoX.
And let's be honest, aren't most of us just passing the time until City of Titan comes along? I intend to jump ship for CoT ASAP. -
I previously uploaded a base version of this config which had a binding mistake and the mouse was awkward to handle. I fixed this now and made it a lot more comfortable to work with!

Sometimes pineapple's good, sometimes I prefer something else. The great thing about food is that it belongs to everyone and there are an endless number of ways of finetuning food to your tastes and coming up with new ways to eat that no one thought of before.
Fruity flavours definitely and very firmly have a place in tangy meals, a fact every lover of duck à'l orange, game (often eaten with cranberry sauce), sweet-sour sauce, Belgian fruit beer and other classics of cuisine can attest to. It's a great way to balance particularly strong flavours.
Pineapple is as great on pizza as ham, it's just a different style of having it. It's fine if you don't like it, but then others don't like olives on pizza, or artichokes, or even pepperoni (Neapolitan purists often seem to have a problem with the fat pooling on the pepperoni slices). Doesn't matter. Pizza is love, pizza is life - that is the only truth.
BTW, Tesco in the UK offers pizza made with sourdough. Now that's some good shit!

It's probably an SELinux issue, you might need to update your security policies or something. While I am unable to troubleshoot SELinux due to me not being familiar at all, I'm sure you can find someone who does.

I'm thrilled to finally be able to take part in a forum on something that interests me again, like it use dot be in the internet before "social" media and the onslaught of mass internet consumption ironically but ienvitably depersonalised and dehumanised user interactions to a bottomless sea of indistinguishable virtual pinned notes on a wall.
However, it still misses a vital part of what made regular forums such a great place to hang out with likeminded people and find friends from around the world, namely an off-topic section where people can goof around, have fun, discuss all sorts of topics and get to know each other on a personal level, beyond an exchange of immediately hobby-related information. Imo a forum isn't a fully fleshed forum without that, and I'm surprised it hasn't been added during all the time this forum has been active. Can you please make it happen?

Think of it this way: If the old character database ever got into the wild (intentional or not), we'd all have snooping access to everyone's top-secret ERP costumes. 😛

Sounds like a reason to do it to me! 😄

This game is ass old. I bet you can run it fine on absolutely anything that doesn't die when you load up the OS these days, at least as far as technical performance is concerned.

The username/password is the exact same on the forums as it is the game. So it really doesn't make any sense.
I am trying to get a friend into the game who has never played. His brand new account won't even log in. I made a second new account to test for him, and it still won't log in. I really have no clue why it won't work.
Did you make sure to activate the game account on the forum as per protocol in your friend's new account? It can be the littlest things sometimes.
Villain Archetype Names ...

Slight correction: stalking is originally a hunting term, it means stealthily following the prey until a good time to attack. It's a value-neutral term. The archetype clearly refers to this use of stalking.
Corruptor is a bit odd as a choice, they don't really manipulate the fabric of the world around them any more than other classes do.
But I don't think it matters either way. I'm happy to keep living with the original design decisions made by the creators of the game we are able to keep playing, evne if the language is inaccurate. It's like still saying christmas when actually referring to "consumerist gifting spree in the name of Coca Cola".
