    Now that the downtime for new update has been announced. Is it possible to have Preliminary Update notes posted in the official area?

    I am really eager to see hat is in store next!

    I have 4 char with 200M exp pool now even without the changes above, and another one coming up soon.

    You think they should increase XP/SK pool? What about making the pool infinite?

    That will be the new grind.

    Let's see who can have the biggest xp/sk pool.

    Reward:
    Every 100mil in your pool spawns a nodrop t-shirt that says, "I didn't level for 100 million XP & all I got was this lousy shirt" in a different color.

    The color will be dependent on number of times received with an x1, x2, x3, etc. on the opposite side of the quote mentioned above.
    Maybe™ is the new Soon™.

    You do know there was no XP pool and that it was put in place as something nice?
    You further know that a bunch of players despise this "care bear" mechanic?
    It is even used in nefarious ways.

    I hope the devs draw some lines at some point.

    I'm not sure if this is the last job that was posted or if it's another opening but it's in the same location as the other one.

    Better idea, make it COST to have an XP pool.

    Doesnt have to be a cost in credits, could just be some negative stats penalty.

    If you have a 200mil XP pool, you're DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

    well maybe you just don´t want to level to stay on pf10 for a while.... it isn´t too wrong to have a pool i think, but with the "disable xp gains" option it shouldn´t happen.

    but NOW that "disable xp gain" is switched into "put xp in pool" 200m pool is nothing.... this is 4 inferno missions for example and there are some people for sure that wait with their 190-199 characters for the new upcoming alien dungeon-playfield.

    If youve built up 200mil XP and thats the limit, tough luck, its more than enough to see you through whatever you might want to do later.

    And I just rolled another account... guess I could create vet account and move a character there later tho?

    Also, will it be possible to combine multiple "normal accounts" (Different login to register.funcom.com) under a single account?

    Lots of good changes! Means > "a certain president"...

    Love the xp changes & character transfer.

    The idea of account merging suggested by Mireiawen is something I would like to see as well.

    I hope you made sure the XP gain cap is still applied. Otherwise this will open up a major exploit by allowing a TL5 character to direct an entire inf mish reward into pool, then regain it quickly with a crat.

    My account info:
    Subscription Cycle 12 month recurring
    Next payment date 2010-10-24 12:36:31

    Paid points page:
    AO: PMV - Obsidian Edition
    Climb aboard your very own Personal Mechanized Vehicle - Obsidian edition!
    Go!
    Cost: 3000 points.


    So because my YEARLY subscription is due in October, I'm supposed to pay $30 extra for this item while a froob or someone that has not been paying yearly can get it (plus all expansions) for free by changing their subscription to yearly?

    WTF Funcom???

    If I am wrong in this information PLEASE clarify.
    Maybe™ is the new Soon™.

    Black MEch 3k pp is that a joke or do you just want us all to cancel funcom?

    It's a deal for new people from what I understand based on their prior info on the matter. Start a new account, pay for a one year subscription at a reduced cost and get all the expansions plus that mech as a bonus.
