    Going for original original, or PA reference original?

    How does Obsidian Soul sound?

    Clawshrimp and Soul would sound better but you know, ridiculous naming convention limitations.

    Without the "spurs" I feel an obsidian based name lacks something as far as reference based names go. The cowboy outfit would be a great match for it too but I'm sure everyone would rather pick their own styles.

    Clawshrimp Style definitely has that cheesy animal-named martial art flavor that would fit in a kung-fu film.

    Or you could just not go with a PA comic-related name because those all sound incredibly forced.

    I didn't even think of this when suggesting it. I was thinking of Gangnam Style.

    But Clawshrimp Style the dangerous martial arts of Penny Arcadia is another way to look at it. =D

    I think in this case Clawshrimp Style/School sound fairly thematic though, otherwise I'd normally agree.

    I'm honestly surprised that Gold Sellers bought headstart.

    It was nice when Region chat was just friendly chatter yesterday before the goldspam. :P

    Sounds like it's going to be Clawshrimp Style. I'll go ahead and make it for now so we can get that rolling.

    Edit: Annnd made, I'll be on awhile yet so send me a message ingame (Kyanilis there too) and I'll get you an invite.

    Literally blame Mushin. They put server selection on a cycle because 50% of the game's entire population was going to one server... then bitching about overpopulation.
    https://forums.bladeandsoul.com/topic/146617-character-restriction-schedule/

    If you already made a character on a server you can still create more and bypass the restriction.

    If you haven't made anything yet... spend the time to create your appearance data so when your slot does open up you can finish up character creation in literally a minute (Load Preset --> Select Character Voice --> Name --> Server).

    Don't really see how a rotating restriction schedule is going to help when it's literally everyone trying to shove themselves into Mushin for fear there will be no population at all left after launch month. Just weird to worry about a game eventually being a wasteland when, in all likelihood, a large number of these overly concerned folks would leave well before that situation occurs anyway.

    We're not agreeing with it or saying it makes sense.

    We're just spreading the message.

    I know :) Just remarking that I'm mostly perplexed why that was the solution they came up with of all things.

    Yeah. I got lucky myself. For some reason I was able to make a character on Poharan this morning even after reading about the staggered server character creation.

    Also, I totally blame Arcanis for showing this to me and leaving me no choice but to start playing. Started a Blade Master this morning and it's pretty fun. Playing a Destroyer right now (fitting no?), which looks like it could be a fun time as well.

    Once I'm through the tutorial on the Destroyer and can join the Cerulean Order, I'll be whispering for a clan invite.

    So I was playing earlier no problem. Go to log in now, get an update. Now the game won't load at all. Goes through the file check but doesn't actually launch the game, it's just eating up CPU as a background process and not doing anything. Rebooting didn't fix anything. Thoughts? Do I have to reinstall? :bigfrown:

    Edit: Looks like it's going around -

    We ended up going with Clawshrimp Style, or did you mean no PA references?

    Same thing's happening to me. Crashed. Client update. Game runs in the background but won't actually run.

    They patched a shitty and broken Launcher update.

    Someone on Reddit posted a workaround, avoiding the launcher.
    https://www.reddit.com/r/bladeandsoul/comments/41c4he/how_to_fix_nonlaunching_client_1252015/

    Basically: Replace Client with pre-patch client (backup the current one).
    Run a Batch file to launch the game without the launcher.

    The same way you run an exe. At batch file is just a preset lines of command line told to run. Check the link for more info.

    Should just be able to run it normally as long as it ends in .bat

    I can't seem to rename it at all. Might have to wait for them to fix it.

    Whoops, yeah missed that. Tried to send you an invite but it's complaining about your faction. You can't join the clan till you've joined Cerulean Order which happens pretty early on.

    Finally got a character on Poharan. I went with assassin first, and the decoy skill is amazing. I'll try to get an invite tomorrow or Monday, need to finish creating characters and settle on a class first.

    Are guild invites by character or by account?

    Is there a cap on the number of people that can be in the guild?
