Should be Level 6 I believe, I need to check my records unfortunately they're not available to me at the moment due to me being at work. Wait, that's probably the TT, the TE should be eligible from the gate so long as they did what the mission suggested.

My theory is that once we have them working, we'll put them in more than just those two places and probably give them a little more variability in the kind of things they do and say to you.

You should see those two ports get reset anytime that the program shuts down, crash or otherwise.

Windows 7 does look like Vista, and it has a similar UAC and file structure, but there the similarities end, imo. Win7 is leaps and bounds better than Vista (like superman style leaps and bounds) and its hands down better than XP for most things too, but then I could very well be a fanboi, they may have converted me after it released, I'm not entirely sure.

This smacks of client corruption, I've never had it happen nor have I heard anyone else say it before. Try removing the client and launcher completely and re-installing then see if you can log in.

Sorry, no idea why their service wouldn't allow you through unless they block ports we use or don't allow UDP traffic on the network for some reason.

Start > Run.. > Type "cmd" and click ok on the prompt" You'll get a lil black window. From there, type in: ping play.net-7.org and it should give results.

Possibly a DNS problem, try pinging play.net-7.org and post a window with the results?

I'm going to be discussing faction now with the rest of the team because I've finally completed several of the things I had pending. I just wanted to provide a quick update, look forward to faction changes. I have copied Fuulishs' short list to my list of things to review, if anything is to be added after this point I would appreciate if you speak with the advocate and/or (if that fails) PM me. I prefer less PMs to create less confusion and allow me to finish things quicker but if you can't get a response about it then let me know directly. Please don't abuse that though, I get quite a lot of PMs on a regular basis and I can't track them all!

Make sure you've registered here and net-7.org using the same information, then click the links to activate in any e-mails sent you. This will ensure your account is activated, they start in the "Temp-ban" status to prevent logins before they are registered correctly.

Much of this is going to be what we're looking into pretty quick-like.

It's taken care of, at least going forward it will be.

You will only see the (x86) variant to Program files on an OS installation that is 64 bit. Good rule of thumb, do you have more than 4 gigs of ram? If so you prolly have 64 bit OS unless the person who built and setup the PC wasn't very knowledgeable

First, my "claim" was not that it is that way at this very moment. This system was just implemented, once it is closer to finalized it will act much like the standard distribution that CDel describes. Programming is an iterative process. You start with a block of shite, and fine tune it until it does everything you want with no fat. Second, obviously we didn't know about it doing what it did, otherwise Riia would have not said "Thanks for pointing this out." What we KNEW is that items had this range in live. What wasn't happening was that it wasn't dropping like this but instead up to 180% quality which was (very very very very + 10e^126) bad, at least for the game overall. We're going to make the decisions for the game that make the game better in the long run, even if it hurts folks who are testing in the short term. If you don't want to deal with this kind of thing, the only other option you have is not to play until we're finished, but that is of course up to you because frankly the more people we have hitting the server, the quicker we find these bugs and fix them.

I'm pretty sure it was 75% to 125% or I got a raw deal on a few items and I need to take it up with EA's customer service.

So, being part of a large guild parts one from their soul? Wow. I was unaware of this spiritual dynamic. Maybe we should do something after all. I assume you mean, "rather poor" but if not, rather poorly what? I have already said we're not going to create rules to dissuade guilds, its up to players to manage the community except in the case of egregrious violations of rules posted. We can't stand over the playground and ban someone every time someone else accuses them of a KS, since in fact with the rules working the way they do KS is a myth, as the mob is not claimed. You know, there's nothing that stops you from grouping or working with others not in your guild, except for your attitude, I would wager. I oftentimes participated in raids with superguilds in live and got plenty of good loot, and in cases where I had to I counter camped them. I fought with Static on Andromeda over many spawns. Oftentimes I lost because they'd call in more people and my little guild didn't have that many but hey that's the name of the game. Patronizing? Nah, that's just twisted perception screwing with you, Sarcastic? Definitely and always. More sure of anything that I've ever been in my years on this rock. (That is to say, pretty damned sure.)

Sorry, we have screenshots that disprove your theory. Although, you can expect that it will be rarer for them to come out that low on a regular basis. Also, the poll is a bit loaded. I would suggest you modify it so that it does not take into account your bias if you wanted any serious consideration.

I didn't see a suggestion. I saw a complaint about large guilds. Er, we're not going to make it impossible for large guilds to exist, that's kind of like telling businesses they can't buy stocks or something. We can't help that you had bad experiences with other people in the past. Perhaps if you review the way you behave in public, this problem wouldn't exist? You'd have to work a lot harder than that to succeed in such a goal.

Sorry, the guys contacted me just as I was about to rush out the door to head to work. Unfortunately, I provide IT support for the UK and Ireland at this hour for my business and I had to leave to get here on time, as Kenu indicated we will get it back to functionality as soon as possible.

Why would we want this? There's no logical reason for us to want or not to want guilds to grow as they see fit. This is up to players. We cannot create rules for everything, only design systems to try to entice you not to do it. We're not going to make restrictions, but given some good ideas we might implement something to make a smaller guild more beneficial somehow. In regards to the pack animals thing, perhaps you should consider removing rhetoric/vitriol/junk from your post if you want an honest answer from your peers.

Thought I'd give you all an update, I promised to look at faction a couple of months ago. Its about 2 more items down my list, I thought I'd let you know. I will be heavily analyzing and seeing what we can do to seriously improve faction so keep those votes coming.

We are still looking into it at this time. (Saving bug)

Hi guys, I am lead to understand there is a saving issue with data today and to some smaller extent for the last few days. I apologize for difficulties you've encountered, unfortunately we can't easily correct it at the moment due to the recurrence of the issue. We are working on it, and ask that you bear with us. We do apologize for lost data on this temporary issue, please DO NOT expect everything to be returned, as there is no easy way to track this lost progress. Please accept our apologies for the issue and bear with us. We'll do our best to restore normal operation as soon as possible.

Sure thing.

The challenge question was intended to be on, I switched it on with the update of the forum to assist in keeping the spam registrations down. I will simplify the answers so that it's a non-issue. I didn't realize it was a text entry because I didn't try the registration after, I assumed it would be a drop-down, most of them are (such as with PHPBB).
