Too bad for you I was told by the man himself I should PM him for what I'm going to PM him.

You are talking about the original AO GTC's, but I mean the brand new ones that came for AoC - the AOC Cards aren't discontinued.

OIC, yar.

I know NCsoft uses just 1 game card that works for all their games, so I can see FC doing one. (would make sense for TSW and such as well.)

To the best of my knowledge, these work for AoC, but when I could not find a way to use them in AO (despite UGC listing AO as able to use them on) and emailed FC support, to put it short I was basically given the cold shoulder.

Couldn't this be a viable, easy option for FC to do? Or is there something I do not know?

FYI

when i talked to a cred seller, he said a lot of poor players farm directly for cred selling companies and get time cards as payment.

I could be getting time cards for it !?!???? I've been doing it just for the feeling of satisfaction I get from being praised by someone on the Internets for a change.

Dang!

Point was it was a specific service offering timecards in return for credits.

I read these instructions back when I tried to use the service. It did not work for me at the time. However, I've just logged back into my old account and checked again and I can indeed use the service now. From what I've gathered, it seems that to use paybycash, you can only pay on the exact date that your account is due, or very close to it. Because when I tried to use it before, there was no purchase to select anywhere. Now there is.

So you can only pay on or after the due date apparently, and if you're accidentally late, well there goes your vet pts continuity. What a bunch of crap.

Yeah, but they can offer many things in return. That doesn't mean it's bad only because they offer it.

Hey Pumpkinface!! ,
im hunting you .... come out come out wherever you are!

**DePreach** · Oct 9th, 2009, 10:26:16

Can we get a roadmap of PvP changes and if possible a guide to how long they will take this week? I know it's hard to say especially since you probably haven't specified the phased rollout yet but I think a lot of people hitting 220 are not sure whether it is worth twinking into the current ideal setups or waiting for incoming changes.

I have been waiting for a number of weeks now before switching to Troa'ler and tbh I feel I'm in a bit of limbo.

It is well past time we got a revised guesstimate of engine and specials mechanics release dates. Or even a really broad brush stroke like 3 months, 6 months 2012.

I know you guys are probably feeling the pressure now with the recent organisation changes, I think the playerbase knows you would like a larger team and we know you are doing your damnedest for us. I for one look forward to your proposed changes and the rebirthing.

Queue the When its done, Soon and Before its ready posts

please sir, I am asking nicely

**Zandibel** · Oct 9th, 2009, 16:02:05

So.... who rushed to this forum because the last post time changed?

**merlin4** · Oct 17th, 2009, 21:36:23

The shadows looks pretty uber

You should turn try turning lighting off for the bilboards.

It's nice to see this game will actually be doing real mipmaping XD. But... your mipmaping needs some tweaking, probably just doubling the distance at which it drops a level would make it look ten times better.

Looks like the new skybox code isn't finished.

There's a fair amount of jpg compression style distortion in the textures it looks like, have you considered using uncompressed targas?
