"Be aware that a fix for this issue is sure to come soon and keep watching the official news at login too in case it's ever declared to be an exploit."
I find that statement... funny.
To say 'fix' implies it's a bug. An exploit is using a bug to gain an in-game advantage. You describe the in-game advantage from making use of the bug, so clearly this is an exploit.
Devs/publishers have made it clear time and again that they *don't* need to 'declare' an exploit and that people should use common sense. Unfortunatelly, too many bad apples will never stop believing that something needs to be 'declared' an exploit first - an obvious rationale for immature players to to feel safe in exploiting a game and justified in whinging later when they get punished for doing so.
Maybe they should've brought in a number of mix-and-match 'professions', a la SWG pre-NGE? (That said, here's an idea SOE - bring them back!) People could tailor their character to be what they want, rather than being forced into a single archetypical class.
Hear, hear. The only time I really enjoyed oRvR in WAR was when I'd split from the zerg and ambush enemy players trying to catch up with their zerg.
I loved queueing for scenarios, before the incentive 'improvements' to oRvR, of course, which left me randomly queueing regularly for 30-60 minutes (if not longer) before one actually popped; and boy would I be angry if the one that popped was already underway!
Agreed. I was tempted by this offer for a few moments, as I've payed more than $200 for CoX over the years. But I'm really not too interested in jumping into another superhero MMO right now.
Now, if they offer the same for STO, it's pretty likely that I will.
"Right now, you can score two months of prepaid game time for the seriously cheap price of $18.90. While there is a shipping cost, the charge becomes very minor compared to the overall savings when you stock up on multiple cards."
'Seriously cheap'? 'Stock up on multiple cards [or]... go in on an order with friends [to save on shipping]'?

In any event, neither am/do I. So I suppose I'll be flamed and have my comment voted down for saying:

Too many people feel the need to demean/belittle the reality and severity of death by hiding it behind meaningless phrases like 'passed away'.
