EDIT: found what I am looking for online :)
Second EDIT: Shipping on my order went from being $15 to $55 so I had to cancel my order... back to the drawing board
It plays very much like WoW so far but is WAY better looking. The character customization for body shape size and facial features are bind blowing. There are many hair selections and some of them are very elaborate. Can't do much about your equipment though so there is no costume design though I think later on you can dye your equipment.
One BIG problem with it already is gold farmers. I had to turn off all of the public channels right away. Which in doing so I accidently turned off that Chat channel so if anyone was trying to say stuff to me the first 2 hrs I played I might have seemed like a UBER snob. You can't send tells/whispers to anyone until lvl 5 which was a little annoying as I was trying to contact a friend in game to let them know I was playing. You can't friend someone unless they are online which is annoying too and they have to accept your friend request which is both good and bad.
Our friends who play will be forming a Guild or "Legion" soon so that will make keeping in contact much easier.
So far I like it .. we'll see how long that lasts. I have a feeling the community will have more of a WoW feel (which I hated) then a CoH one that always draws me back to Paragon and the Rogue Isles.... I still think it's because of the Greed factor... less of a Greed factor in CoX when there is no "Loot" and drops are a private thing.
This is my little Scout Dilynrae ... I'll take more screen shots later
This made me giggle out loud ;) Enjoy
FOR THE HORDE!!!
This is from 2005 and was posted on the offcial Fire Fly boards... I came across a link to it on the LICD fourms and it made me smile so I am sharing...

Please bear in mind that Canada is a wonderous place where the service industry is polite and helpful, and that this experience is not the norm. The store I chose, which shall remain nameless (Warp 1 Comics), at an undisclosed location (just off Whyte Ave), has the singlemost sanctimonious, condescending, dishonest a$$hole I've had the misfortune of meeting. My brother and I called ahead to find out they had one issue left, but upon arriving, found out they are gouging people $20 bucks for the damned thing! "That's what they're worth." he sneered at me. I asked him to show me a listing of some sort to back it up. "Well, I just know what I paid Dark Horse for it." He wouldn't show me that, either. I am aware that Dark Horse wasn't expecting these books to sell as well as they are, and that they are going into a second printing, but I just picked up three of them two days ago at cover price at another store. My brother piped up with a, "What an interesting attitude you have." Let me tell you folks, this fella had an attitude, and a smirk that you wanted to knock off his face with a baseball bat dipped in dog poop. Of course, my brother couldn't help letting this guy know who he was trying to hose by holding the issue next to my face. "This guy look familliar? This isn't some JoJo off the street! He knows what he's talking about!" Check this out- the reply of this one-eyed crap-catcher, who shall remain nameless (Darryl) was, (and imagine a dullards voice- how we make people we don't like sound in a story) "Well, then you can call Joss Whedon and ask him."
Wouldn't a smart business man ask me to sign an issue and sell me one at a fair price? Wouldn't that fetch a prettier penny than ripping me off for one issue? Congratulations, dude! You are now on the Browncoat $hitlist.
Never have I tried to wield power in this way, but if being Malcolm Reynolds has taught me anything, it's to follow my over-developed sense of vengeance. BOYCOTT WARP ONE COMICS! If you are in the neighborhood, drop by to tell "Patchy" that Browncoats don't take $hit from anyone. Tell your friends not to shop there, and lock 'em in the airlock if they do. Copy this post and e-mail it to fellow Edmontonians. Bump it to keep it alive.
Thank you. Thank you for letting me rant. If you feel I'm overboard, please feel free to, as Joss would say, contemplate silently.

retrorocketman and I will be having our Buck & Doe on July 11th 2009. I know many of you are too far away to attend but if you would like to buy a ticket to help us out it would be greatly apprecaited. You can email a ticket request to chettle@retrorocketcomics.com and he will send you an invoice. They are 10$ each and we will then mail them to you.If by chance you can actually attend the party then you are in for a treat as we will be having some pretty sweet raffel prizes :D The Party has a Retro 80's theme so we hope that many people will dress up for the occasion. I know I'll be taking lots of pictures :D
So did I enjoy the Star Trek Re-boot? Hells yeah I did :) The story was easy to follow and really fun to watch. It was fast paced and full of action and laugh out loud funny in spots. And like a girly girl that I can be I actually cried at the beginning.
Anyway there is the possiblity that I'll be seeing it again tonight... and am looking forward to it *laugh*
I can't wait until the next movie too...and with an opening weekend like that I think another movie is a sure thing.
Cheers!
All in all it was a good day. Sales were good, we saw a lot of new faces and a lot of them were very young children with their parents Gotta hook'em while their young. I was dead on my feet by 5pm which was ok cause it had died down by then. We still have a ton of FCBD books left over so we have extended our sale until Wednesday when the new books come in.
taffer your advice helped. We did have some deaths (some caused right after we jumped down the hole because I forgot my jack frost was up and he got blast happy on some crystals...yeah I can be such a N00b) We managed to avoid team wiping all together but came very very close to one after Archus went down. We completed the SF in just under 2 hrs. Good times :D( clicky for picture )
*correction* @Johnny Raven did this himself :D
For me this is one of those strange books where the timing had to be right for me to read it. Chris bought it when it frist came out back in 2005 and I started reading it but then just lost interest... actually I likely lost interest in reading all together. So it got shelved for a few years.
So far so good :D
If you want to know about any of the books just comment and I'll give you my opinion of if.
Stephanie Meyer: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn
Nora Roberts: The Pegan Stone (3rd part of a trilogy, have read the 1st 2)
Kelley Armstrong: Bitten, Stolen, Dime Store Magic, Industrial Magic, Haunted, Broken, No Humans Involved, Personal Demon
Patricia Briggs: Moon Called, Blood Bound, Iron Kissed
Laurel K Hamilton: Guilty Pleasures
John Butcher: Storm Front
Sergei Lukyanenko: Last Watch (4th book in the Night Watch series, have read all of them)
The books that stand out in my mind of all of these would be the ones by Kelley Armstrong. Briggs books are fun but too short and often repetitive. Hamilton's books are a lot like Briggs... too short but interesting characters. Butcher was also entertaining and I am looking forward to reading more of is work. Lukyanenko's books are very interesting and often complex, each book is broken up into 3 stories that fit together. Of all of them I think Day Watch was my favorite. Meyer needs to take some writing courses...big time maybe she can learn from Armstrong.
But I just HAD to make her....
Name: The Dread Pirate Sakura
Primary: Ninjas
Secondary: Pain
I'll post a picture soon. And I'll have to work on a Bio if I decide to play her regularly.
I started a team in Mercy and of course was asked "Don't Pirates hate Ninjas?" and that is exactly why I made her.
Switching topics...
tonight we will attempt the Silver Mantis Strike Force (Pirates of the Sky) on Freedom. But no I will not be using Sakura as she is only lvl 9 right now. I'll be taking my Freedom Badge Whore North Paw :D
