One of the first things I did after I got my first character to level 10 was make an SG base and placed a trainer, vendor, and tailor from each faction right by the portal entrance. In the next room to the right I have crafting tables, a merit vendor, and lots of storage. And then straight ahead are teleporters to all of the zones, essentially in level order by faction, as well as a Pillar of Fire and Ice and a mission computer. With that set up and a Base Teleporter from P2W vendor, I can do anything I need or go anywhere I want, all from the privacy of my own home! Oh! And don't forget to add a hospital area to your base so that, if you are defeated, you can go to your base instead of the hospital and pick up whatever you might need to conquer that mission.

Base storage and e-mail are both held together by the coding equivalent of string and duct tape according to Leandro. They are generally safe, but can also fail unexpectedly and catastrophically for any number of reasons. I use both to store my stuff, but I tend to store influence on characters. I would be upset to lose a few IOs, but I would be REAL upset if I lost billions.

Along with this change of 100% chance to hit, I demand 100% defense, so that I am never hit, and 100% resistance, so that even if I am hit say due to a debuff or auto-hit attack I won't feel it. Yeah . . . those make about as much sense.\ No to all. Including mine.

My one universal macro is /macro FIND, "targetname [name]" That puts a grey button with "FIND" on your tray. You can then add more with $$targetname [name] or just edit it to whatever you are searching for by right clicking. It's great for finding blinkies, hostages, and priority targets like sappers and BP Sorrows.

Put me down in the "NO" camp as well. The Market works perfectly as is. If you don't like bid creeping . . . don't bid creep. Make a reasonable offer and walk away or pay the "Buy-it-now" price that should be discernible from the last 5 sales.

Converters tend to reduce the price of highly desired IOs and raise the price of IOs considered to be trash. Why? Well, if you are looking to buy an LoTG +7.5, which many builds use, you might be willing to pay a few million to get it now at whatever level you want. But if the price goes too high, you'll bid on another IO -- maybe a different piece from LoTG, maybe from a different set -- and then play converter roulette. Additionally, being able to buy with reward merits puts a ceiling on prices. Say you want an ATO, WinterO, PvP or Purple. Those can all be purchased at 100 reward merits from the vendor. That effectively puts a cap of 100 million inf on all the most valuable items. Why? Because you can buy reward merits at an ATM for 1 million inf. Convert a 100 million inf to 100 merits and you have bought yourself the item of your choice. In practice, the upper limit is probably much less due to the existence of the converters. As discussed above, you might find a less desirable purple (or whatever) at a cheaper price and decide you'd rather roll the dice with converters. IMO, the end result will be a better market overall. Nothing will reach the absurd prices they hit on live. Flippers will buy cheap trash and turn it to gold.

I keep getting the error: "The avatar you have selected is either too large or not an avatar." Not sure what the problem is. The forum doesn't seem to be autosizing. I cropped it down to 65x65 but that still didn't work.

Aaaaand . . . back. I fixed it.

LIES! You can't prove a thing!

It wasn't me.

People still play this game? I mean . . . hello!
