We don't discuss what other servers do or don't do. We do our thing, they do theirs.

Victory was in an odd position. The admin was Michiyo who spun it up early in HC history and she's been a member of the HC team for almost as long as we've been going. She is in charge of the wiki, various technical jobs on the backend and Victory was a kind of testing ground for quick fixes and patches as it ran on the same code and client as the main Homecoming. It was always the plan to eventually fold it into the main server, but it wasn't urgent and it's taken a while to get round to it. It's not like it appeared out of nowhere, it's been around for years as a side project but still very much under the Homecoming umbrella. Other servers out there have no contact with us and do their own thing. I'm sure they are happy to make their own version of the game to their vision just as we do with ours.

We don't partner with people I'm afraid. We have no issue with people streaming, but we don't do endorsements or have official streaming partners

It would take a lot of recoding the devs don't have time for, even if it were possible which isn't a given considering how tangled to code is

As Michiyo said, that's your forum password and not your game password. You are interacting with the forum so you are looking in the wrong place.

I've been in teams where someone has been power levelled to 50 with no knowledge of the game and it's painful. No inf for enhancements, terrible slotting, often no travel power. When AE was in atlas I had someone ask me how to get to Kings Row and be surprised there was a transit system. "It's marked on the map".... "What map?".... Games like WoW have a lot to answer for. So many games kind of ignore the grind to max level as a necessary evil and concentrate on the end game content. Diablo 4 is a really good example of that. Very short story, get that out of the way, then grind for gear to increase the chance of a good drop. Then have the chances of the best drop so low most people never see them. I've had one Mythic drop in the time I've been playing and that was because of an event. At least Diablo 2 and 3 had a long story to follow. People come into our game conditioned to think the low levels are a waste of time and the good stuff starts at the level cap. Then get upset because there actually isn't that much to do, and updates concentrate on content for lower levels.

It doesn't ask for the current password. It asks for the new password then a second time to confirm. It's possibly not clear on the page though.

That's that green stuff my dogs like to eat (I swear they are part goat). I try to avoid it if possible. I've had my garden paved so I don't have to mow it

True. I find Excelsior is bad for it, the other shards less so. I've found that if more than one league is in close proximity then the lag is horrendous. I'll often make a second league then incan the league to the other side of the map. Most people stick to the portal areas, especially in Steel and Skyway. Moving to the far reaches of the zone makes it less awful.

Depending on the event as well. I can get a level 1 character to vet levels in an hour or so on Mapserver.

oopsie!! I thought I might be wrong, I didn't realise I was that wrong 🙂

Veteran levels are what you get after you finish normal levels. Someone like Laucianna runs numerous events like Hamidon, Mothership Raids, Labyrinth etc. daily. I usually get three vet levels doing Labyrinth. I believe Laucianna is the highest veteran level for that archetype (peacebringer) And Veracor is the highest veteran level out of everyone at around 14-15K (might be higher).

Find the file named data and rename it to data1 and see if that fixes things

If the name was released due to the name release you have to actually log into the game with the new character to activate the name transfer. If you try to rename a character before that step is completed the name release won't happen. Make new character log in log out delete new character rename old character to that name

It's here The folder marked Data just rename to data1

To be fair it would me too. and the plaques and river markers don't have tips

The problem is that the way the modding tool is set up to update and modify files it would be quite hard. There are easily downloadable map overlays with seasonal stuff like Halloween GM locations, Xmas presents etc that can be added or removed at the click of a button. And while i have you captive, may I recommend double loud glowie!! It's awesome

Editing your original post after I've posted quoting you isn't going to do anything 😛

As you can give yourself unlimited resources, levels XP etc.....

Seems a weird thing to want to avoid, but as someone else said it's awarded account wide so the only way not to get it is not to do AE content. Ever.

And why have we got yet another thread rehashing everything that has been rehashed in several other threads? Locking this one too

lol

If it has a max level then that level +3 is the highest it will increase in power. Most people tend only to use the procs in those unless it's an interesting set bonus

I did nothing!! (But I'll take the praise)
