Apogee

I do the exact opposite with great success and I know what I am doing because my first MMO was Ultima Online (and then Everquest) in 1998 (a year before you). I also played Pong on an Atari, which is, of course, directly correlated to City of Heroes gameplay (as everyone is well aware)

Iron/Steel Ronin?

Someone just snagged the name Grinch on Excelsior it seems

I have been out of the gaming rig building game for, well, awhile now (my last build was a Core 2 Duo). Lately I have just been cobbling together spare parts to retrofit old Dells but my current PoS has finally died and I have the spousal authorization to purchase a new rig (yay!). I am a diehard Intel/Nvidia fan but thanks to @HyperstrikeI know to steer clear of gen 13/14 Intel CPUs. So I am biting the bullet and going AMD. The rig is going to be used for Gaming (CoH, BG3, and maybe some other AAA titles) and Development (Full Stack), ok mostly gaming . Budget is in the $2-3K range (lower is better). I have only ever air cooled but am open to liquid cooling if deemed necessary. Any suggestions and warnings are appreciated. I'm assuming an AM5 build with a Ryzen 7 or 9 A RTX4070 or better (I don't know Radeons at all) Motherboard? RAM? 3.5" Floppy or a ZIP drive?

Hey Ukase, I had the same thing happen to me, about 1 billion. The global is APOGEE, that's A P O G E E. Thanks bruh! (just kidding)

what is this "empty mailbox" you speak of?

I had a mail issue a couple of weeks ago where I sent the mail to an alt account but it never arrived. The sending character (only the one character, not the whole account) then got an error whenever trying to mail something else. I think you may have discovered how Yomo is funding their bankroll... I bet you they wrote a program to draw off fractions of an influence from each email but put the decimal in the wrong spot!

I've got some change around here somewhere... Seriously though, did you tie the funds to a Merit or Recipe or something? I do that all the time then have to figure out where I put the cash

That sounds like a fun tradition for your SG. Add in some alcohol or weed and you have a full on hootenanny!

Do they arrive in plain packaging too?

He's pushing your buttons

I start using IO sets at level 7. No need to wait until 50 unless you are new to the game.

It's 19 names, on alts he is playing. Not coming across as a hoarder. I've picked up at least that many since the 1st, some going to rename old characters, some going to new concepts, all being played and enjoyed (unlike how they were obviously not being played before).

Please tell me you aren't wanting Stealth to go through Gold-side content (1-20) because you will be wasting your efforts. Everything there either sees through any amount of Stealth or is tethered so much it will ignore you as you jog by.

Released the following: Blitz Covenant

I think it is safe to assume that Regen will get buffed before we ever see a 7th slot for powers. So, like, never gonna happen

Come on people, the OP said it is a hypothetical, not a suggestion for an actual change. What would you do if you could add a 7th slot to a single power? Arguing that it isn't needed or it used to be a bug is missing the entire point of the question. Lighten up and have fun with it Personally, I'd use it in a knockdown power to get a 6 slot set bonus AND force feedback

Also released: Falcata Rapier Cannonade

I just released the following back into the wild: Black Arrow Rogue Arrow Shield Boss

I just made 10 new alts so I am going to be here awhile longer

Why do you guys keep replying to his threads? ... oh wait ... dammit, nm

How dare you be measured and reasonable on the internet!

Oh, when my kids were younger I would not give them unfettered access to the account, but then again I didn't sit there for hours watching my artistic daughter have fun in the creator. I would log her in and let her create. She made some good ones, and well, some others. Nowadays, she is a professional graphic designer, so I find myself running my designs past her for approval.

Parents share with kids (my kids used my account back on live), spouses and significant others share accounts, plenty of reasons it could happen. Hell, when my daughter was watching my dog while I was on vacation last Spring, I gave her access to my account so she could play in the character creator. Of course she knows I would write her out of my will if she deleted my preciouses...

Let me try to explain it. Player A has the name Tru and uses it for RP and gaming fun Player B, who has access to Player A's account, deletes all of Player A's characters in a fit of rage. Player C picks up the name Tru before Player A can reclaim it. Player A contacts Player C to try to get the name back to no avail. Player C does not level up the character Tru and it sits unused. Nov 1st name purge happens and Tru becomes available again. Player D (Troo) claims the name Player A contacts Player D to try to get the name back
