The problem is that they weren't using a free trial account, they were making accounts via the "Join Free" link at the top of the forum. The forum rank/grouping system didn't work correctly (and may still not) and was granting posting righ...

"...due to the worst test and implimentation plan..." They had a plan? I thought they did this on a drunken whim!

Yup it's a forum rank thing.

Sounds great. But don't get your hopes up. The current mission system is unable to support "Outside" mission points. They must occur within a building (currently defined mission area - mission areas cannot be defined in the "outside" maps...

Or from another point of view, are you saying you are unable to play the game (even for a short while) OOC? And why should you wish to deny other players that very choice?

Maybe it's connected maybe it isn't, but Rarebit or Walrus (I forget exactly who) did mention there was an object type that Dracomet was working on. Perhaps this could be to do with that. We'll just have to wait and see.

They won't do the same with the signatures as moderators can, apparantly, take action on them.

Short answer: You can't. Longer answer: The avatar control panel has been deactivated for all users. Only those who set their avatar when the feature was still active, still have one. If people with avatars go to change them, they too, wil...

And as no one mentioned it: DO NOT CREATE THE NEW CHARACTER ON THE SAME SERVER AS THE DELETED CHARACTER! (Unless that is, you have at least one free slot - this is to ensure that you have at least one slot open for the recovered character...

This really should only be done once they fix all the bugs that allow you to gain CQ when you shouldn't. Ie, after someone you duel is killed by any other means - you get a CQ despite neither of you being PVP flagged at all. And all the ot...

This error also appears randomly when you do have a correctly installed/set up video card. In those cases a simple reboot of your PC will fix the error. However, if you're constantly getting it, then you should follow Phi's advice.

Thanks for the assist, Chuui. You're welcome.

The most common reason for this is an unsupported graphics card. One work around for this would be to play the game in windowed mode. Make a text document in your MXO folder and name it: "Useropts.cfg" (with the double quotation marks, if...

NPCs have rangeless hacks. Unlike players, they can hack you from a 1000 meters away and it will always land =/

Yeah or at least run it for seven days. I can't wait to put my Nightmare mask back on. I miss those guys. Why can't level 50s have Nightmares in their missions? =(

Dude, people don't just want dark skies for Halloween =D Besides, if Rarebit's hinting is anything to go by... The sky is most likely going to red this year...

For those who want a dark night: Turn on the green filter in the in-game options then adjust it with the following lines in Useropts.cfg: #Changing green filter ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_1_R = 0 ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_1_G = 0...

Then that's what they should be fixing. Which again, would be just as easy as any other change. Just a little copy of the edit function for sigs, a little modification to apply to avatars.... Really, there is no need to just remove a funct...

See I don't get this restricting Avatar nonsense. Why restrict it when sigs aren't? If someone is likely to "abuse" their avatar by posting porn or something, then they are bound to do the same with their larger sig! Again, if it's a probl...

Chuui, Chuui, Chuui, always leaping to conclusions. QA found a world problem in the same build as the /ccr problem--it just took them longer to find it. Not much else to jump to given the lack of information we usually deal with =D If you'...

I'm neither angry, surprised or upset. But I am curious. The first delay was due to the /ccr (/bug) system being broken. This one, due to a white hallway glitch fix breaking the world (error in compiling the world I guess - perhaps to do w...

The 100 rep should be a pretty good step towards protection from "nubs". The area apparently has multiple rooms, so if you need a more private meeting, you can always find an empty room and talk in faction or team chat if you are still par...

Well considering that the number of these areas is going to be limited - just like Club Hel (which only has about 6 "physical instances" on each server), then yes, there is most likely going to be time limits on the usage of these rooms -...

I used to try that method too, but when you wind up with over a hundred million posts, the database gets way too bloated, and it winds up causing more problems than it solves. The "archive" system is great for forums that purge their old p...

the only reason no one on Syntax or Recursion "got it" is only because we didn't think to send the answer to another instance. In all fairness though, if you read through the puzzle again now it is very obvious that the server of the carto...

Posting this for a would be trial player as they are unable to make topics with their account level. They will post their problem in the first reply.

"but what would happen to A: people under lvl 16 on vector or B: carebear non-hostile servers? as the assasin would easily win if he could not be attacked?" The solution is fairly simple. Have these as an entirely new mission set, keeping...

From the Who_Is record: Creation date: 31 Jul 2005 01:50:35 Expiration date: 31 Jul 2006 01:50:35 They just didn't bother to renew their domain. Perhaps that means that the owner no longer plays MXO.

*Yep posting in here is a bug, so Im sure thats one of the things they should be getting fixed in the downtime....with any luck. Found the answer to that on the Station forum. This downtime is simply to allow others into the torture that i...

Would be nice if we'd actually been told what the downtime was going to fix/do too. Ah well. Always keeping us in the dark until it's too late =/

Following on from the requests for a lighter stylesheet I have started work on one. You can get it - along with the old dark one - by following this link: http://www.yakubun.com/MXO/MXOCSS.zip There are some "issues" with the light version...

The problem here isn't so much that are coding forums from scratch (which incidentally, they aren't. They are just heavily modifying pre-existing, largely unknown ones), it's the fact that they simply didn't bother to test them. In many ca...

Click on the "My Profile" link at the top of the page and look for: Send e-mail notification when posts get answered: An e-mail is sent when someone replies to a message you have posted. This option may be changed when writing the message...

Unless that reason is simply that they are too lazy to take it down =P

The trials over as best I can tell. As for buying Mobius code and hyper Jump Beta? You can't. They are non-tradable.

I really honestly can't see how the devs allowed it to be be implemented! The devs had no say in it. This was the work of the SOE web department. No use complaining/pleading to the devs about it, they only work on the actual game.

For those finding it hard to deal with the current color scheme we have, I've made a basic little "hotfix" stylesheet that helps to alieviate some of the problems. Simply download the following zip file and read the readme.txt for instruct...

If you did run along the idea of having a confirmation box, I guess it would only be fair to have a new /autoignore scan command or something. Otherwise you could imagine what would happen not only in PvP but also to LE characters. But the...

That was the point.

I honestly don't see the point in coding abilities simply to sell them to vendors. Even if the vendors don't take into account any coding cost discounts you may have and thus buy it based only on the base cost, you'll still only going to m...

But Frog, in the interests of game play balance couldn't you just delete the entire hacker tree? =D

Technically they can "get it back". But it's CSR policy not to. =(

As far as I know Inundiation went way to far with her RP (kinda messed things up) and thats why she got replaced... Just a rumour that I heard though... We just have to look at the actions of some of the other LOs on other servers to know...

I have a strange sense of "Deja Vu". The old 'Lith QA went down due to "something that needed fixing before it could ever be opened to players again." and now this one has too. Please don't tell me this is just the stock cookie cutter line...

Nice idea, but it'll require a complete rewrite of the coding, clothing, and enhancement routines currently used. It'll also need a complete rewrite of the database. As such, don't expect this idea to be done for a very long time. The amou...

Yeah it would be nice for enhanced female bandanas.. They exist. I have one on at the moment, although it's lost 2 points of stability within an hour of getting it =/

At present, the new character experience is a little lacking in quality and variety. You are pretty much thrown into character creation with no real useful hints or information on how to proceed with making your character. Once you’ve made...

They could think of doing an info boost weekend... perhaps add a 25% increase to all info drops on NPCs and a 30% bonus for mission pay outs... But I find it doubtful that they will.

I think that didn't carry through (special drops having more than one model) as the devs don't want to 'needlessly' use up the clothing allocation slots with pre-existing, identical items. Although with the recent change in shielded/armore...

Using this method, the download is an amazing 0.7 megs. =D Servers are still down, but fully patched in under 30 seconds. Now that's gotta be a good improvement for 56kers too.

Yes, but the Ninja mask is not a gimp mask. The Etheral cap or whatever it is called is the gimp mask. Two completely different items and different models. Ninja mask have no sexual fetish of the same nature as a gimp mask attached to them...

I for one really hope they do *not* change the look of that mask. They've done it in the past with other items and it does not go down well.

Um, there are new enhanced Bandanas on the EP server. I picked up an Enhanced Blue Bandana not long ago with a min. level of 21 on it. As it is, the Sakura Ninja Mask isn't that ugly and covers up far more of your face than the bandana =D...

I expect that once the event is out the way, QA will die down for a while - the devs do have to actually do there work, and to be fair, the live servers are supposed to provide more enjoyment than the QA ones. It's actually pretty sad when...

I like how that one guy survived while the rest of you were squashed =D

Do you think we could finally get some clarification on exactly which characters will get the beta caps? Rarebit thinks that only /copychar'd characters will get them, but what about people who made brand new characters on QA that don't re...

MA abilities do lots of damage to me, please nerf them kthnx. Hahah! How the worm has turned. Sorry my old hacker friend, I just can't help but laugh.

But if you do just copy your current QA install to your current Live install you may lose your map file settings and possible any loadout settings too. Hot bar settings are of no concern as they will be reset anyhow. So trying to keep it s...

I just decomped a baseball cap to check their difficulty level and noticed new enhanced items in the code analyzer. There are 16 new enhanced hats for females and 16 for males - all of which share the exact same name. Four of each hat for...

One month sounds fair to me, but perhaps start it after the event - if there are concerns that it could cause "cheating" in the event. Two days - especially with bugs still around - doesn't seem long enough. One month should be fine, just...
