Postin' this here key I got if anyone wants it.

MRTR-DN9F-237E-47AJ-22ZG

Came in the email - "Thank You for Joining Alpha Squad - A Bonus for Signing Up"

So it seems that you get more for buying Alpha Squad than was stated...

Ya, Higby posted earlier today saying everyone who bought Alpha Squad would get a bonus guest key

*dances while he waits for mail*

So, any point in having 2 accounts? Or is that against the EULA?

NC TO THE CANYONS!  TR DOMINANCE!  Should be fun seeing the populations swing, since the common consensus is that the Northern empire has the advantage.


With 2 accounts... you could idle on two accounts at once maybe.  If you're into that.

Well, you can spy and such, but I wouldn't end up doing that. I was thinking more along the lines of getting experience on one account while playing another. Spec in multiple ways.

If you have 2 accounts and 2 computers you could

 Be pilot and bomber in a Liberator simultaneously
 Grind rank points by having 2 characters of different factions keep taking the same base from each other
 Have one be a spotter while the other arcs artillery from too far away to normally properly aim

If you're really good with operating 2 characters at once
 One goes Max the other goes Engineer
 2 snipers facing the same area from different spots
 2 characters on Flashes driving around taking bases

Idle 200% of the time!

I have two accounts, have made 0 characters on one, and am currently idling 0% of the time.

I think your only bit would be for snipering from two locations.  Allegedly, SOE will be watching for foul play, ESPECIALLY if bases swap hands back and forth constantly, they'll know something's up.  Apparently it's not like your regular MMO.  The admins didn't just plant the server and leave.

I love the way in which TR and VS go at each other on my server, while NC obliterates their northern auraxium bases.

You know what's really funny about people who idle?  I've still been getting cert points (and maybe other resourches, but I still need to test that) while logged off.

Probably no reason other than it giving them a larger B-peen.

The funnier part is that they idle at spawn, rather than in a safe spot on an auraxium base.  At least be lazy efficiently.

You get cert points while logged off- frankly I think you get FASTER while logged off. However, you need to be logged on the get auraxium. You get 20-70 every five minutes. You need 8000 per arm for burster max, 12500 for A2G rockets, 10000 (I think) for Lighting Skyguard turrets... you get the idea.

Just logged in, can anyone say Character Wipe?

Edit: Cancel that, they've just locked the East servers while they fix them I guess.
