Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given

Edit: So how come on the trial account I was getting piles (100 to be exact) of free potions and bandages and crap every level and now I'm getting nothing?

Unofortunately, account permanently blocked? I'd expect this from Trion, but I never had any problems from NCSoft in my many years of CoX...

EDIT: Anyone know how to change the autonamed character I got? Also...I am sooooo lost. Haven't played in about two years.

But at the same time, I love my pokemon spirits
You should have recieved a rename card in the mail or via one of the questionnaires. It's entirely possible that they expired or something since that was last summer.
If you've literally got nothing, and it's obvious that your name is a carry over from the merges (it'll have a two letter code at the end of your name designating your server source), you could petition to get a name change.
Plus, keep in mind everybody if you have a character named SomedudeYS; it does not mean that your name is taken now. That was just a blanket move for every character regardless of whether or not anyone else had the name on the merged servers. I got all my names back after the merges.

EDIT: For reference:
Elyos:
Kingshand(Templar) - Vaizel
Elizabethia(Spiritmaster) - Vaizel
Galedrid(Chanter) - Vaizel
Asmodian:
Guilty(Gladiator) - Yustiel
Mayene(Assassin) - Yustiel
I'll probably be on Kingshand, if I'm on anyone; I'm not in any sort of legion or anything on either server. But at this point I have aboiut zero attachment to any character. My Templar is 16, everyone else is 12 or 13. I was gonna probably stick to the Elyos just because I have a lot of kinah from the hacking. However my Gladiator does look pretty badass even though he's 13.
EDIT EDIT: Damn, 50 free Berdin's Amulets just for making an Asmo on Zikel/Siel and getting to level 10....hmmm..
My only character is Shayes, he has Vyvanse and Gnaeus (I think thats it, to lazy to go back and check the thread though)
So if someone wants to make a list of current players or something so we can attempt some sort of organization?

Not entirely sure what I will make yet, might start off with a Gladiator again.

I suppose if you can mentor that'd be nice too. I don't know how that works really.
EDIT: In Verteron.
EDIT EDIT: Also wtf, since when are there solo instances?
Updated to latest, renamed my characters from *NK to something not that, and then realized I hadn't played in so long I had no idea what was worth doing or obtaining. Wife and kids were playing a little, but don't think any of us are resubscribing. (Costs enough paying for their CoX subscriptions).
Looks like the lowest is 18-22, over by the Observatory in Verteron. I'm sure Asmo have their own version that level but I don't know what it is.

Well, I made an asmos character on Zikel just so I could see the other side of the world a bit. I actually think I prefer the furback side of things.
However, I was noticing that on my Templar I was making a lot of kinah from quests/trash that I wasn't spending much of due to drops and/or survey rewards filling in the equipment slots. Not having any foundation money might not even matter TBH.
However however, I'm still not totally feeling the game, even though I played for like 5 hours straight last night and had a good time. By "feeling the game" I mean, seeing anything that would cause me to stop paying for WoW (and FFXI) to play. Maybe the higher level stuff is good, but I doubt I'll get a ton higher by the 13th. Maybe though. Certainly not if I shift to asmos. We'll see.
That's really nice. It was not cool trying to rely on totally random crits to get decent gear via crafting. Though, it looks like there are still higher levels of those available; you can get orange quality of the "worthy" qualities; but can't buy those patterns. Makes sense I suppose.
Also, apparently right now there's an xp bonus to crafting and killing, that I was unaware of; I suppose that's why it feels like grinding is so much more efficient than questing. They said on the front page they're extending the xp bonus to the 22nd but it doesn't sound like the reactivation is being extended too however.
I'm a fan of the crafting changes. Since you get xp for crafting, maybe I need to spend a few hours doing that. I want to finish Veteron though and see that solo instance.
Is there a point where you can't do low level quests anymore? I mean, if I just hang onto these group quests until I can solo them; just for my ocd, can I still do them?
I just got a suspension for sending kinah for RMT! I haven't played since September 2009, and just had my account reactivated 3 days ago. I didn't even have time to make enough kinah to buy all my templar skill books...

Elyos Story: You were once the biggest badass out of all badasses. They called you the 13th Empyreon Lord for god sakes. Time to GET BACK ON THE WAGON.
You can see which one I prefer.

Updated at least twice a week. Come by and comment.
1: Exactly. And levels 1-50 is the training montage played over and over again, except instead of lasting 5 mnutes it lasts MONTHS.
2: Oh god now I want the Asmo story to be EXACTLY Rocky it would be the best thing ever.
20 ish for the first one, Hamerel, I believe. It's easy as shit.
37 is the next one, Kromede's trial. Apparently, it shits glass and eats nails. I don't no for sure, gonna find out tomorrow!
Aside from just having a dungeon all to yourself, there was no effective difference between it and your typical quest chain out in the world. There were enemies you could beat, quests that were no different than any other quest, and the occasional "boss" that was barely harder than the normal enemies with somewhat better loot; but still nothing better than what you could normally obtain at the level you could do it.
The kicker is after you're done you get quests to go back in; as if once wasn't enough. Whatever. I'm sure there's some people out there that love it; I just don't get it. Again, it wasn't bad; it was just pointless.
Anyway, the Mentor system is funny and I fully expect it to get nerfed. It's inexplicable why it doesn't seem like it depowers the high level mentors yet allows the lowbies to get full xp. I mean, it made doing all the Krall quests (well, most anyway, have a couple more follow-ups) a breeze last night, aside from the pure time it takes to do things like collect 50 marks and get the apparently ultra-rare food rations to drop....but it also made for a somewhat boring adventure where the goal was to keep up with the mentor and not play as a party and work together for our goals.
I mean, whatever. Those are miserable quests and it was nice to do them faster than I would otherwise; I just think the implementation of the Mentor system is odd. If this were my second or more character leveling, I'd probably welcome it with open arms because man once you get over 20-ish, the grind seems to hit hard. I feel like it took as long to go from 22-23 as it did to get from 16-22. Obviously it didn't, but it still feels like the heavy grind has hit hard, already, and I'm not even half way to the cap.
Anyway, maybe I'll find out in the next zone when I'm done with Verteron; but how the hell do you get the abyss points needed to get the level 25 vendor abyss gear?
