There is no scuttlebutt on name purging. In fact, there will be no "purging." When the naming policy is instituted everyone will have advance notice. At this time there is no set date of when that will be, or at least not that I am aware of. The names don't automatically become available. Level 50s will always be protected and then there is a sliding scale down -- the lower the level, the less time a name is protected. You can log in characters to keep them protected, or better yet, level them and gain more time . . . or immortality at 50. But if you have an unprotected name due to lack of use, it may become available IF someone else tries it when creating a new character.

He may be a loving Doggie Daddy and a scrumptious baked good, but Crumpet will nuke a nest of copyrighted characters while cackling maniacally.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Please argue the merits of the proposal, not the merits of other players.

GM Tock is on the job!

Timing is important. Guys, be nice to each other. Please?

Hello and happy Monday. Players are allowed to post agreement or disagreement with suggestions and proposals, as long as they do so respectfully and within the CoC. But sometimes discussions reach a point where two players, or two factions of players, are just going back and forth stating the same thing. We are awfully close to that if not already beyond it.

Hi guys. Let's keep the commentary on the game, not on current politics. Thanks!

Please be excellent to each other. Argue the merits, or not, of the proposal without attacking the merits of the players posting.

Your wish is granted. Please stop insulting each other. Argue the points, not the personalities.

I am trying not to moderate and let people have discussions and even arguments. But if folks make it personal, that makes it hard for me to ignore. Please be excellent to each other.

Hi guys! Spirited debates about the game are OK. Great even. But let's argue the points and not each other with ad hominems. Please and thank you.

POOF! A GM appears. A request has been made, support for the idea has been shown by some and lack of support for others. It seems that this has run its course.

Hello! I trimmed* a bunch of posts that were getting increasingly heated. Some innocent bystanders may have been caught in the trimming if they quoted other parts. Be excellent to each other! *And by trimmed I mean hid

Speak for yourself!

Or the KD of those powers is stacking with another source of KD (yours, another players, certain IOs). When you combine 0.67+0.67 = 1.34 and that's kncockBACK.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but your supposition is wrong. The devs are happy to hear criticism as well as praise. But they don't want to see arguments back and forth between a few passionate people. It becomes a lot of noise and makes it difficult the find the bugs and other problems. Most of all, they want people to try the new stuff out under as many different scenarios as possible to see if it works or it doesn't. If it doesn't work, they change it. You don't get punished for being critical, although we'll both get our posts moved as being neither focused nor feedback on arsenal control. Oops.

Hello friends and neighbors! I have moved some posts over to a new thread created just for you: "What I wish Arsenal Control looked like." There you can discuss to your hearts content how you would have made it. Please keep the feedback threads to actual feedback on what is on the Beta test server. For example, I like X because . . . or I hate X because . . . or even better, I did this test on X and found . . . Thanks!

Hey heyedwin! I moved your post to the Mission Architect section so that it might gain more looks from eyes experienced in the ways of AE. I'm no where near an expert, but I learned that if you double click on the error, it takes you to the general area of where the problem is. Good luck!

Hid a few posts.

Once again, I am sorry to have to hide your posts. But this is a Focused Feedback Thread, not an argument about tankfenders thread. Y'all can start such a thread or another thread to debate.

Sorry if I hid your post(s), but we are trying to keep these feedback threads as focused as possible without the back and forth discussions. Hint: If you are quoting someone you are probably already heading down the path to hidden town.

Hey guys! I appreciate that a thread discussing Nazis within the game has not blown up but has been a pretty respectful discussion. Your concerns have been noted, but I cannot guarantee whether any changes will be made on that issue. That's a decision for folks higher up the food chain. Since the Nazi point has been made and received, can we go back to testing the arcs and finding other possible bugs and text errors? Please? Thanks!
