Title: CoH account reactivated for 5 days Post by: Xanthippe on May 27, 2005, 10:28:44 AM Just got this email today:
Quote The recent arrival of Issue #4 and PvP marks a milestone in the history of City of Heroes and we’re celebrating by granting you 5 FREE days of game play! There’s no better time to check out the multitude of new features and updated game content the streets of Paragon City™ have to offer. From the innovative Costume options of Issue 4, to the Epic Archetypes and Zone Events of Issue 3, to the exciting Zones/Villain Groups/Trials of Issue 2…there’s something new for everyone to enjoy! Just log into the game between 2pm (CDT) on Thursday, May 26th and 11:59pm (CDT) on Tuesday, May 31st and you will find your account reactivated FREE of charge!* Your hero characters will be waiting just as you left them, ready for new adventures. But hurry…this offer is only valid for a limited time, and once 11:59pm (CDT) hits Tuesday night, May 31st, your account will again be deactivated unless you choose to resubscribe. So get out there and defend Paragon City! Legions of other heroes await you. Enjoy all that City of Heroes has to offer…and Happy Memorial Day. — The City of Heroes Team *Only accounts in good standing will be reactivated. Hmm. Maybe, maybe. I loved flying in that game. Edited: My 6 year old daughter would hate me if I don't. She can spend hours just creating new toons. Best character creation process ever.

They should sell that character designer as a standalone program for $10 aimed at kids. Barbie Fashion Show eat your heart out. With a dull spoon.Title: Re: CoH account reactivated for 5 days Post by: Azazel on May 27, 2005, 12:05:38 PM Did CoH ever have downloadable trials? It seems like the kind of thing that'd be fun to try out if it didn't require a full-price retail box to demo it.

EDIT: Is anyone else unable to connect to the patch server to update their client? Title: Re: CoH account reactivated for 5 days Post by: Morfiend on May 27, 2005, 07:38:47 PM Bloodfire lives again! EDIT: Is anyone else unable to connect to the patch server to update their client? I can connect no problem, but I cant remember my login name. Title: Re: CoH account reactivated for 5 days Post by: Daydreamer on May 27, 2005, 09:32:24 PM Ah found it - ports are blocked. Which sucks because my sysadmin roomie is about 500 miles away until Monday night.

Unless your sysadmin is blocking outgoing traffic.... Alkiera Title: Re: CoH account reactivated for 5 days Post by: Daydreamer on May 28, 2005, 07:29:15 PM My sysadmin roomie blocks EVERYTHING. Its rather annoying.

So, you go out, buy a doorknob with a keyed lock on it, and put it on the bathroom door. Lock it, and keep the only key.

Against complex policy I might add.
Too say he has unresloved security issues is a bit of an understatment I fear. Title: Re: CoH account reactivated for 5 days Post by: TheWalrus on May 29, 2005, 01:38:24 AM As long as he doesn't have a lock on the lid of the shitter, hes not too far gone.

Alternatively, have $Broadband_Provider bring a second line/modem into the place for your use, instead of splitting one with your roommate. You're the second person I've heard of with this kind of problem(other is a person I know IRL), and I don't know how you deal with it; I know I couldn't handle it.

Apparently NCsoft, or more likely their ISP, blacklisted my IP for some reason, and I had to set up a VPN with my university. This is doubly odd because Guild Wars is all honky dory for me. Wonder if it has anything to do with the smurfing problems we've had recently, or the hackers who spoofed our address last year...
In any case, VICTOLY! |
