In light of all the aggravation we've had to go through over the past couple days, rather than return to double XP, perhaps we could maybe consider triple XP?  Times a wastin! 

I was thinking how nice it would be to have access to some of the older constructs again before we go bye bye.

How about removing level restrictions for Yuki, Ashencourte, One Zero, Sakura and Widow's Moor?

I need me one of these and I will pay well (although nothing unreasonable).

Edit:  Done.

I think we need a little inspiration!  WHO'S WITH ME???

 Starting with our first Club Hel Party in 2005, this has been an annual tradition that we shall not break as long as we are still here.  And we are still here.  Our Patron has generously allowed us the use of his Club for perhaps the last time.  Will you come celebrate with us?

When:  Friday, May 8th, 4:00PM MCT (PST)

Where:  Club Hel, Hampton Green - *Vector Iteration*

Who:  All Merovingian Operatives are allowed.  Do not fret if you don't have your main RSI in our organization, there are always ALTernatives.

More details forthcoming....

So, when I chick someones profile including my own I get basically nothing, just the standard DN1 black screen.  Is this a settings problem (I use IE7 and wonder if my security settings are too high or something?  Its always worked up until recently).  Or something else?  Anyone else having this problem?

1 Red/White Winter Vest Combo (The other Ruby item from the most recent Holiday Event)

1 Black/Black Vest Combo

Edit:  Not many people expressed interest so I threw everything on the Vector Ingame Marketplace.

OK I'm finally ready to tackle the N3O Agents so I can get a second pair of QS gloves and some more QS pills.  I haven't done this yet, my current pair of gloves that I bought will die soon and I've bought a few QS on the MP here and there.

I've noticed that the Datamining Guide here in DN1 is pretty scattershot and uncoordinated, people would just post random tidbits as they discovered them but no one "put it all together" in a definative guide.  Especially in regard to QS/OD drops and tactics etc.

With that in mind, my questions are, how many people are needed to take these guys down, and what's the best loadout/strategy for it?  Also, if you have more people on your team will the number of N30 spawns increase or is the amount static?

Lastly, what exatcly drops and how do you "learn" how to code the gloves or pills?  Is the thing that drops...along with the Quicksilver Frag, a luggable or a singleton?  Does it make a special compliler?  I understand its called a Quicksilver Compilation Module.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Following Rarebit's lead, I have my own dynamic vision to share.

Press the blue button.

OK have some items I would like to aquire.  I am interested in the following if anyone has them:

- Valkreja RSI Capture (A second one for my female alt)

- Valshamr (female lvl 40 white shirt one)

- Rose-Colored Glasses (female Lvl 40 ones)

- Female Patcher's Bandana

- Male White/White Holiday Vest Combo (2008 Holiday Item)*

- Any Quicksilver Pills or Quicksilver Frags (Always in the market for these).

Edit:  Got most of these!  Still looking for female patchers bandana and QS pills/frags.  Also, down the road I might want another Valkreja RSI cap as a gift for someone

Woot!  Yeah last night I got my last Archive Reward...a total of 11 FX Rewards plus all 6 Org Clothing Rewards:  512+392= 914 Missions!  I am a masochist, lol. 

Some things arent shown, obviously the Blood Noble Trench, and I couldn't get the ninja scarf waving in time.  And of course the Fail Eye Effect doesn't show either.

Also?  As I was taking this pic I rolled over to 100 Days 0 Hours 0 Minutes on Villemar

Yay me!  Woot!  Do I win the Internets now?  Or just teh Maytriks?

I felt this posting from Quidormit merited its own thread:

QuiDormit wrote:

Yeah.  I imagine SOE meetings go something like a meeting I had at a couple of years ago at my last job.  I'll never forget it, because it was incomprehensible to me.

(lightly paraphrased to protect the poor useless product and the moron upper management with shady business practices)
Boss:  "So we need to talk about [product] support."
Me:  "Wait, you mean people still pay for [product]?"
Boss:  "Well, yeah.  I mean, it's one-of-a-kind.  It's the only product that does what it does, so there's a niche market."
Me:  "But it's antiquated technology!  No one even uses pagers any more, do they?"
Boss:  "We want to get rid of it, but it brings in money, and it's still profitable as long as we don't spend any time on it.  We need to essentially stop supporting it in the hopes that people will stop using it.  However, we don't want to actively drop it since people are still willing to pay for it.  Some people are paying for it and aren't even using the product any more, and it could be a problem for us if they realize that they still pay us every month for something they're not using."
Me:  "Well, I'm supposed to be the top tier support for it, and I didn't even know it was still in use, so I'd say we have that one nailed down.  Still, that seems... off."
Boss:  "Yeah, you're right.  Still, don't spend any man hours working on it if anything comes up.  If the server happens to die, we'll at least be done with it."

I'd say that accurately describes our current situation, mm?

I've been thinking about this...(and thank you QuiDormit for the OP on Tranque's thread).

Reason being I can see this as the only logical explanation.

Walrus promised us a Producer's Letter which we never got.  We literally get nothing but a complete, utter, total wall of complete silence in regards to this game.

I think we are being completely frozen out in the method that QuiDormit describes.  The more time goes by the more I am conviced of this.  There can be no other logical explanation. 

I think this is a horrible strategy for building a loyal customer base over time.  If this is the scenario here I will never buy another SOE product again (not that I was likely to after all of this...but only a few months ago I was eager to try the Agency.  Now?  Never).  I have a few more things to take care of in the simulation but once that's wrapped up, it's over.

Thoughts?

(And if this is exactly what's going on here, when will your Exit Date for MxO be?)

Sounds amazing!

I'd like to move 100 mil from Syntax to Vector.  Post or PM or contact me ingame @ Vector-Hostile.Villemar (usually after 5 PM PST or so on weekdays).

Thanks!

Edit:  Done.

I'd like to move 100 mil from Syntax to Vector.  I see others are looking to do the opposite but I dunno whats been done already, so just post or PM or contact me ingame @ Villemar usually after 5 PM PST or so.

Thanks!

Edit:  Done

http://www.theonion.com/content/vid...ource=a-section

So, found an extra set on my barely used Syntax alt.  Make me an offer!

(Also, I will need to do an info trade afterwards to move the proceeds to Vector, so if anyone can pay me on Vector that would save me a step).

Thanks!

Edit:  Done. 

Hello!  I have 30 mil info on Syntax that I'd like to move over to Vector.

If anyone can assist, please post or PM me here.  Thanks!

Edit:  Done.  Thx Omega.

 I know this is a longshot, but I have a stack of 20 Quicksilvers on Syntax that I don't have much use for.  I could really use them on Vector though. 

So if someone has anywhere from 1 to 20 Quicksilver Pills that they'd like to obtain on Syntax in exchange for theirs on Vector, let me know!

PM me or post here.

Thanks!

Edit:  Sold.

So, I'm on this RSI Capture bender.  I have all of the old RSI captures and all of the new RSI captures, except for:

1.  Executable

2.  Any Kunoichi.

The Kunoichi can wait too, I plan on having a box party in a couple weeks.  That leaves the Executable.  I do not have the desire nor available teammates required to farm that guy....

However,  Seeing as how I have in most cases more than one of most of the others, I propose the following:  I will trade a complete set of 66 different RSI Captures (the ones I have duplicates of) in exchange for one single RSI mask, the Executable RSI.

These Include:

- All 48 Neighborhood Boss RSI Captures

- All 8 Dungeon Boss RSI Captures (Zero, Moribel, Col. Strong, Watchman, Black Widow, Lupin, Mr. Jones, and The Gruesome)

- Plus 10 Others:  Ko, Captain Dernick, and all 8 Sleepwalker Bosses (McNeal, Meters, Osburn, Quimby, Bartle, Finch, Tucker & Walls).

So, save me some time and aggravation, help me complete my collection, and I'll save you a LOT of time farming these fellas individually!

Also, I can throw in other items to sweeten the deal...

If MxO is now permanantly D.I.Y. with no more content then might as well unlock the masks, maybe starting with the patch that removes the Anniversary event in early April.

Edit:  We can always relock them if by some miracle we get a dev and we resume content.  I think this would be a nice way to reward us with our patience for sticking through the hard times in the meantime.

Got it.

This is the best layman's description of the whole banking/economic mess I've heard.  Hearing this, I no longer have a thought bubble with "???" inside whenever I see something on the news or read an online article or whatever about what's going on in our chilly economic climate.

It's very basic.  What is a bank, and how do they run?  Why do we even need banks...can't we just let them go under? 

Explained in simple terms using easy analogies.  Great stuff!

Although keep in mind, this will only be up for a week as a free download, after that you have to pay for it.  So download it by this weekend if possible, its worth it!

More info:

For sale @ 15 million each.  Buy both for 25 mil.

BTW:  The Convert's Shirt or Robe has the green code tie / trim.

The Guardian's Shirt or Robe has the gold code tie / trim.

(Cross-posted on Vec MP)

So yes, I need pretty much exactly $35 million info on Syntax, to be paid to you on Vector.  I'm at work so send me a PM, post here, or /t Villemar after 6PM PST.

Thanks!

Done.  Thanks GJ, sorry for the confusion B :O

This is really gonna bake your noodle:

(Although I'd rather it be in MxO than SL!)

OK come on now.  This is really getting aggravating.   This hasn't been fixed since Thursday.  Can we get this sorted please?  Paying subscribers should at least be able to access the game without workarounds.

 So, I need about 30 mil on Syntax to level a new tree, in exchage for 30 mil I can give you on Vector.

Post, PM or /tell me on Vector as Villemar.  Thanks!

Edit:  ty Hutchie!

So I've got a ton of Perfect Snowflakes but I'm having a really bad run and need to get either 6 more Rubies or a complete set of male and female Ruby 2008 Holiday Clothes for my alts (Winter Suit, Red Boots, White Leggings etc.)

Considering the drop rates I'd be willing to trade a stack of 40 Perfects for a single Ruby, or for any of the Ruby Items from this year.  I could buy them, but I don't have a lot of cash on Recursion (I have plenty of $ on Vector though, so if need be I could make an info transfer there pretty quick.

Post or send me a PM here....I'll be zipping across servers all this weekend as I try to wrap up my holday farming.

(This is a modification of an idea I had back here, adjusted for 11.3 on.)

Now that the archive rewards have been finalized, I was thinking a special meta-reward should be given to those intrepid souls who have either:  A) Completed all of their organization's archive missions, from 1.1 to 11.2;  and/or B) Completed all of the archive missions, from 1.1 to 11.2.

How this would work is, for those who have their first two org clothing items and then collect archive tokens for 9.1 through 11.2, there should be an extra org reward for those who have proven their loyalty to their organization by completing all of their org's archives.  How this would work is, say, a Machinist gets System Shades, System Suit, and the remaining 8 Archive tokens (9.1 to 11.2), he can then go to the Machinist Collector and he can trade all of those items for the two System clothes back plus the new special org item (kind of like the Archeologist model).

For those who have a real deep and thorough knowledge of the simulation, if you have aquired all 11 FX rewards, you should be able to trade them in for all of your FX rewards back plus a special "Deep Insight" reward!  I'm thinking definately a perpetual item, either one of any existing FX's made permanent, of your choosing; or a new perpetual (red flame/code anyone???)

Since these are finite I think it would be a good reward to those who have taken the time and effort required to immerse themselves into the MxO storyline, for your organization, or in an even broader sense.

Edit:  See post below for a super-quick implementable modification in light of new changes!

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard

I have all the materials completed for the Merovingian 12.1 top clothing drop, looking to trade for the Machines' 12.1 top clothing drop. 

EDIT:  TRADE COMPLETE!

I have all the materials completed for the Merovingian 12.1 top clothing drop, looking to trade for Zion's 12.1 top clothing drop. 

So finally, I've gotten everything except the exec shell that's needed to get my Blood Noble shirt.  I finally found the white hallway and the correct door that leads you into the that T-shaped room with the 4 55's.  Where I got quickly pwned.  I was expecting an Elite Commando-type layout where you have a standard white room layout where you can hang in a corner and lure them out one by one.  That didn't seem to work here...used sneak to stay as far back in one of the halls and the second I went at it with the 55 the other 3 55's came a runnin'.

After that is the Death Room right?  Should I just go right there and sneak into the back room and do my luring that way?  Just curious....I'm pretty much done with all of 12.1 and trying to wrap this all up and this is the last thing I need to do.

Hmmmm.....Never mind.
