hi all,

Ive just received an email saying that my old CoH/CoV account has been reactivated until the 5th.

Just wondering how popular the game still is as the server im currently on seems pretty empty, ive seen 2 players in 2 hours :/
 
I think CoH Is dying a slow and painfull death. It was a fantastic concept but turned into a bit of a grind fest. NCSoft are working on a Marvel Universe Licensed MMORPG.
 
Try Freedom or Infinity, they are packed most of the time.

New free expansion just been released which is probably why you got reactivated.
 
nice one, i wouldnt' have noticed the e-mail, i get e-mails from ncplay and ignore them all :p

kinda fancied playing again for anonther month but couldn't work out if it would still be busy and if i can be bothered, few days would be sweet.

as someone said, such a good idea, but with 3-4 basic missions rotated around 4-5 main level designs it got old. thats really the problem with all mmorgp's, no real thought goes into missions/quests/stories after the first half hours worth of gameplay its just, go fetch 10 of these, beat 10 of those type of guys. which is fine , until your 500th fetch 10 random stupid item quests.
 
anyone happen to know quick answer to getting this to work properly under vista 64bit?

i downloaded client via the ncplay website which just gets you the updater, it downloaded the client fine and i got into the game but exited to change so gfx options, res and stuff. now when i try to load the game it doesn't detect its already installed it just wants to download it, and if i choose same folder it says it doesn't have the right permissions or its out of space so won't redownload or check to see if its there :(.
 
they need to double the xp rate.

if they did that a lot more would play, its just to to to long with it normal.
i got bored at 30.

double xp weekend, was the most people i saw playing it,
shame... its just a weekend!
 
Thanks for letting me know, playNC emails go to an account I dont check much. Did u know if u use the refer a friend option in plaync account u can make a new hero or vill and use him for 2 weeks.

Im glad they made a user market, and they are adding things on to the game cause after playing star wars galaxies and getting to lv 50 in CoV I felt like it wasnt half the game in terms of "dungeons" and high lvl content and ofcourse a player based economy.
 
I'm downloading this as we speak, been getting urges to play it for a few weeks so this was great timing!

Only 2.3gb to download. :D
 
Neither did I, but I logged in and it worked :)

Gotta say, not sure what the subscriber base is for this game now, but it seems to be dying :( 2 years ago some of the servers had "3 red dots" meaning busy/full, but now they're all listed as "1 green dot"

I logged in and only saw one person. At Atlas Park near the start zone there were 6 people, that place used to be packed with upto and over 100.

Shame...guess they'll kill it off when the official Marvel MMORPG gets released...
 
i was playing tonight when Atlas park was invaded. Must have been a good 40 people on fighting them from noobs up to lvl 50's. Defiant server.
 
Awww no fair! I played CoH and CoV for about a year and I didn't get an invite back :p

Anyways - I did go on it about three months ago and it seemed pretty deserted... it's a shame as it was an excellent game!

EDIT: Just had a thought... if the US servers are packed... is there a way to transfer your UK account to the US servers?

I've seen none of this desertedness you people are talking about! I was playing on Union most of last night and was flooded with team invites constantly on several different characters!

(also kitted one of my characters out with wings - 18 month veteran award which i only just realised i had been rewarded with for being a subscriber ages ago!) :D

No, and US -> EU server transfers ended a while ago.

I got the 3 month vet reward, the sands of mu ect but only on 1 toon, not even the oldest toon (is that right)?

Officially, no. Un-officially, yes. Email the support team and ask to be moved over, think of a good excuse though because they can take some convincing. I know of a few people that I used to play with that got the EU demo but wanted to join us on the US servers, they pestered the support team and got moved.

I was asking about the same thing and the mod on forums said it cant be done, so this is news.
 
my hangover made me read 'company of heroes'

this thread made little sense to me until i re-read the title :p

Unless they have drastically changed the way they manage the player databases in the few months, rest assured, it can be done. You will lose any money you have, and there might be issues if you use game cards rather than a credit/debit card for payments but it is easily done.
