Byakhee - any update? Still not sure what I should do with JarodPW to get him access to tokens/missions. Thanks.

Sounds like Kyp has some code updates that will make this moot, good. However - from listening to various chats on this I think there are some players making a problem out of a non-problem. Specifically I've seen people talking about being "freaked out" seeing high(er) level mobs in areas where they don't expect them and demanding that something be done. Look - if it's a (player) named mob it's not going to do a damn thing except float around. If the named player isn't online I certainly don't have any issue with somebody else gunning it down, but gunning it down just because you don't like seeing the mob where you are makes no sense.

Definitely wasn't in Earth and Beyond (Live).

Whoa, giving out skill points for every holiday seems over the top, just IMO. Especially when you consider that for many of the holidays named above players are AWAY from the game. I think it would reduce the value of the EARNED skill points by players gaining XP if people that happen to be online at some specific times are able to suddenly inflate their skill points.

I find most people are typically willing to help out in a xfer, I know I usually respond to such requests. Usually just ask in the [Local] channel while in a station "Can anyone help me with a quick xfer between chars please?" and somebody will usually respond. It's expected that you have BOTH chars already there, of course, so the other player isn't waiting for the target char to complete, say, a trade run from Fenris to Somer.

Great idea! Yeah, I don't think anyone is looking for a catalog of all available missions but a little help in finding them would be great. This idea would seem to go a long way towards getting more players to seek out and take on missions.

OK, thanks.

I'm a little confused as to what I should do next. Yesterday while doing the Lvl 75 HU mission (since completed, I was at the WRONG Vali, sorry!!!) I chatted with Byakhee, along with others, about not having any mission (other than the L75 HU) in my mission log - and that I couldn't get any tokens to do any of the optional missions. Per what was said I opened a ticket for a GM to remove and reacquire Mission ID 99 (this is for my PW char) which was done. When I logged in today I was happy to see that my mission log now had the Master Mission back in. Yay! As expected I needed to go to Kerr and then to the shipyards and pay 10K, which I did. After paying the 10K to the shipyards the mission then advanced to step 4: "Advanced on completing your Lvl 30 Hull Upgrade mission from Ionno-J Denion Pourvenir Mons (Endriago Planet)" What am I supposed to do now? I still can't progress the talk tree with Centuriata Nota to give me a token. I'm going to try heading over to Ionno-J just to see what happens. [uPDATE] Well, Ionna-J wasn't much interested in talking to me (Shoo, shoo, go away!) so not much help there. Hmmm, won't let me upload a screenshot so I've put it over on Flickr and linked to there.

Snopes.com is really your friend for stories like this. I think I've received like 6 or 7 (always forwarded) emails from friends alerting me to this "awesome event". However, not every email alert you receive is a hoax. If you recently heard about Plastic bottle bombs being left on lawns and driveways then be aware this is TRUE. Is there some shortage of dog-poop and/or paper bags that's driven kids to this new extreme?

But wait, C Del, how about adding in the non-guild count as well? I mean surely some of us are to blame for the OP's woes, no?

Geez, what a whiner - and hiding behind a made-up name just to make your whine-post is soooo pathetic - next time ask your Mom if it's OK to do something like that, mmmmmKay? I was a guild-member in Live but am a solo player here in ST. I have had ZERO issues with the guilds named in this rant. I hear WoW calling your name.

Apologies that this isn't directly EnB related but I know a number of folks here have played (or are still playing) EvE. This story just made me laugh out loud. I haven't played EvE in a long time and don't miss it at all . . . but here's where PvP and the PLEX scheme had a head-on collision and everyone (except ccp) lost. Hilarious.

Agreed! My concern (each time this comes up, how many is this one now?) is that any such effort to link donations to meaningful in-game benefits risks creating a 2-class system: those that can buy their way to improved gameplay capabilities and those that can't. That's not good in a non-commercial game. I'm much more ambivalent on the things that are less meaningful (eyeball poppers or something like that) but still fear it sets up a slippery slope.

I agree whole-heartedly . . . but do we need a very special explanation for those those that steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that there are specific cultural differences between the people playing this game across the globe? I, personally, was quite surprised to find that some of our members were incapable of effectively using search engines and I now realize that my assumption that anyone playing this game was probably somewhat tech-savvy was not well founded. So my concern would be that such people would continue to have a difficult time without every thing being spelled out to them . . . slowly . . . so that they could understand these issues.

Sorry, I apologize, it was wrong of me to assume you didn't have access to Google. I guess what I really should have written was some day you will be able to use it. My bad. First Hit HTH!

Don't worry, someday Google will come to your country, too.

Glad it's working for you now.

There have been a few quirks as to various pre-req's on some of these TT skill missions, don't know where they stand these days. Just in case, though, make sure you have the $25K on hand that I think she wants and also get the Build Devices skill first.

Great stuff, Merlin, thanks for all you've been doing.

If so, I don't understand why you can't provide the requested link. My understanding is that is NOT the goal - the Team has set their sights much higher. If it is to be just like Live then won't we need to . . . * remove the TS, JT, and PT? * remove the field clearing bonus for mining? * remove the new sectors that were added? etc. So, I'm just asking, if you are certain that the Team has actually stated that the goal is to be just like Live - where can one find that statement?

Really? I could have sworn I had read other posts by members of the Team that this was not actually the goal. Do you have a reference as to where this goal is stated that you could point us to?

CHEATERS!!!!!
