How does this work overall ? I haven't played an SOE game in over a year. I know I will sub for EQL/N but if I can stock up on SC cash cheaply before hand I'm up for that. Can you just buy the SC on sale and leave it on your account in general not applied to a specific game ?
Right, and the best cards to use are walmart bonus cards. Normally it's $15 for 1500. Walmart give an extra 500 bonus cash. The bonus gets tripled too.

Go to walmart, buy the 2k pt card for like 12-15 bucks, wait for a triple SC weekend to claim it, and you get 6k pts for $12-15. And SC isn't game dependent, its just on your account to use in any SOE game.

Ah gotcha , buy the Wal-Mart cards whenever and just look for SOE bonus weekends to redeem. Time to sneak a couple in each grocery trip it looks like.

Grey, you might want to hold off a week or two to get the server stability down. Nothing more frustrating than something that "won't work" for kids imo

So my son loves Minecraft, not my thing at all but he is pretty damn good at it. Should I download this game on his computer and let him have at it?
My personal opinion is "no". The release game will be F2P and worlds better than what we have now.

Hey guys -Station Cash promotions are done at a company wide leveland on the game team we don't have a lot of influence on their timing or discount percentage. However we do have influence on the sales and promotions in Planetside 2 that we're running.



-Jaly: I think they are finished with 3x SC sales

If you have an existing claim on Courage and the bring up a new server is there anything special you have to do? Been hearing a lot of complaints about making changes to claims and/or deleting characters.

You would need to delete your claim on Courage to get your flag back if you wanted to make a new claim on Serenity.

Not sure if you need to go to your current claim to delete it (I say this because I can't bring up the claim screen unless I am on the correct map), but if that is the case (and I think it is), I will need to run over to my claim, delete it, then either head over to the portal spire or log out to get to the new server maps.

Hey folks,

Over the weekend, a bunch of folks lost voxel changes AND the props they had on their claims. (Stuff like saw tables, stone forges, etc.)

We just figured out a way to recover the props.

Unfortunately, we can't recover the voxel changes, but we did find ways to prevent future losses (hopefully).

Regarding the props: As of tomorrow's update (Tuesday), the next time you log into the game and go to your claim, look in your inventory. The props should be there again.

So if you rebuild them today...that's great! But just know that we're pretty sure you'll get them back again tomorrow!

Has ponytail even slept in the past 3 days? This is fucking insane. This is a side of SOE that I haven't seen in a very long time.

I read that void vaults also act as one way doors. So imagine your claim is int he side of a mountain. Have your void vault be your front door, and then only have a small room to go in, with no way out. Then you can hit the "go to surface" button and zip tot he top and dig down. Then place another void vault at the top so you fall right back in when reseting to surface. Might work as a trap.

Playing Project: Gorgon while I wait for the servers to come back up - not too bad for a couple of dudes + the Unity engine. I can see why Brad McQuaid is using it for his hopefully funded new game.

If I were managing this project I probably would just say, "Ok shows over folks, we'll be back in a few weeks or something. Go play Everquest and planetside bitches"

And that's why you are not running the show!

Honestly, it feels like they are reinventing themselves as a company. I like the new attitude and openness of the DEV team on issues. It goes a long way towards rebuilding credibility with their player base.

How exactly, do you delete a claim? I hadn't really looked over the options and want to be ready to do so when I get back in game. Do I need to be standing at my claim to delete it?

I think you just need to be in the same map as the claim, but don't quote me on it as I'm not in game. Either way, you click on the flag icon, and hit "delete".
