About the title: i signed up as a corresondent ages ago and was first writing about CO pre-release. Since then I swapped games to write about City of Heroes and then Aion. It was tricky to get the title changed. These days I don't write here but since I can only have the one account with MMORPG.com I am still listed as Champions Online correspondent.

I should settle down on a game and see if the supervisors want me back. :)

I don't actually have an active account at CO official site so cannot ask there. And. I dont want to sign up until I have the game installed so as to not be paying a subscription for a game i am not playing.

Hey guys,

I am on a monthly download limit and can only get large files at the end of the month and even then I need to keep an eye on the size. Can somoene please tell me the size of any/all patches that I need to get up to date from the retail store-shelf copy?

Thanks!

Thankyou :) A real shame though because CO would have worked really well as an xbox game.

Unless my brain has been confusing me I thought that Champions Online was going to be released for xbox 360 as well as PC. Now, I know that this is not going to happen :(

Please, does anyone know of a MMO that will be available for xbox LIVE?

ty!

As much as I would love to brag that I am I confess I am not much of a  PvPer but can answer a question or two for you....

Yes, there is PvP in special open zones, and also an Arena. Sadly when I last played not many people were really interested in an Arena match but maybe I just didn't know the right people. There was also going to be a thing with Base Raids but I don't know if that got off the ground.

Best server for PvP? I would have to think Freedom. It is the highest population server partly because it is the unofficial PvP server. I cannot remember which coast Freedom is located on (since I am Australian and very bad at geography) but the highest population server on the opposite coast is Virtue which is unofficially the Role-Players server.

If you meet the right people in the right places you will quickly learn more about this. If asking for a place to start I'd guess posting a message on the forums under the Freedom list.

Have fun and hopefully I have helped at least a little bit.

(not going to post one right now but have to say...)

I really like the Scorpionaut. Cool use of simple colors and even without the tricky weapon thing looks good!

Also like the "Titan of Industry". And, I too am a big turtle fan and know someone who cannot get enough turtles that I will have to show that too.

ty for sharing something excellent :)

CoH forums say that there was a 7th April download that may be the patch for i17. I hope so as this is what I am keen to see! The new graphics fixes sound impressive. Even if I have to wait a while to be able to download this big file I am happy.

Also had some fun reading the forums about things like AE farms. It looks like I chose a good time to leave for a while as that sounds pretty boring. I saw a bit of this when I last was active but had no idea it would go on so long.

EDIT: I hear there is a pre-patch that downloads when you exit. Any idea how big please?

2nd EDIT: I need to know when the pre-patch that downloads when you exit becomes a regular patch up-front so I can see what I am downloading.

Now. I have a code to apply. The instructions on the CoH site tell me to "Add serial code" and then pick my account> I am a little worried as I also (thanks to a mistake) have a trial account on the same account.

Can I add the time and bonus pack to "Upgrade Account" on the correct account instead of "use serial code"?

ty!

ty.

Now, is the game itself that big? Or, the download? If the download is zipped, for example, it doesn't matter to me how big the update is when extracted, only how much counted as internet useage.

When you say "massive" for i17 how big is massive? (I might have to wait until the end of the month. I am hoping i17 is released by then)

Thanks! :)

Thanks that helps. If the i17 update is 1 gig later in the month I will be ok with that. It's just the size of patching Architect Edition for now that I need to know about.

Anyhow, good help!

EDIT: btw the Architect Edition was a bargain. I got one for $15 AUD - that includes the recent patches on disc, plus a booster pack, plus the month's subscription! yay!

Just two questions:

- How large is the patch after installing?

- Does the game come with a free month?

Thanks!

Instead of waiting for july I want to set up my subscription soon. Here's two questions:

Will buying the Architect Edition let me use that as payment for a month on my exisiting account?

Roughly how big is the patch from that? less than a gig?

ty!

Thankyou mate,

Now all I need to do is wait until July and .... aww heck. I have to wait until July *cries a little*.

EDIT:  I am hoping this expansion will bring people back to the slowly-emptying servers. Think it will?

Cool...

Now, will adding the Complete Edition give me a month extra on my regular account? I dont want to start a new account and lose my Veteran Rewards and purchased Perks.

- I am on limited monthly internet useage as is common here in Australia. If I install the game from my Villians DVD the patch to update is really big. Too big for now at this time in the month. If I buy the Architect Edition that will give me a more recent version of the game with less updating required? Roughly how big is the download for each of these methods?

- I am assuming that when GR is released digitally it will want me to download a massive update. Am I better off waiting for the physical copy? And, of course, the physical copy is not available here. Is there a US store that has GR on their lists yet for me to order a copy for release?

- And, the fun questions is just how many new power sets can we expect to see? So far we have Dual Pistols, Demon Summoning, and (rumor?) Kinetic Melee and Electric Control. Already sounds good but I am hoping for something massive :)

Thanks!

I really don't like the idea of having to pay for what I would have thought is part of the game, but some of the extra costume pieces look good. How much is a Cryptic Point? $10 for 1000? More? Less? What would it cost me to buy all the add-ons?

ty!

Just wondering.... is this a joystick flight game or trading and economy?

I have had someone tell me at length about how cool it is and now I am looking to get a cool new joytick and would love to have a game that uses that (preferable an MMO even).

I am dreaming of something like the old Wing Commander.

Help pls? ty!

Seriously hoping someone here can help me. I have set up the proxy but not paid for it yet, and have installed and patched Aion but have not paid for that either, but when I load the log -in screen and then quit I get an annoying message:

Windows cannot find

...://www.aiononline.com/?utm_source=gameclient&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaig...

Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again

It occurs to me that maybe this means I cannot have it automatically go to the home page but worried it could be a sign of something worse. I would love to get this sorted out before I start paying for time. So, what is this and how do I fix it?

Thanks!
 

Oh! And i need to know how big the download is for any patches I will need.
