This isnt for me (as Im an old player) but Ive got a friend who would like to try MXO out to see if he likes it or not.
I cant find where he can get a trial or any kind of buddy key so Im asking here - what would be the best way for a new player (who has the game, but a really really really old key) to trial MXO without having to go for a subscription?

Do buddy keys still work now or would he have to wait until more were issued?

Thanks SMILEY

So Ive done the farming, got the 120 bits of gum and got the 10 raeder earpieces.

All good so far - so I swap the male raeder earpieces for female ones (this was before I got the gum) because every other collector you have to swap bits to make sure you get the right gender of item.

So, believing I had to do this - I swap the items for female earpieces and spend a good few days farming the gum in between killing captain raeder to help others get the gear too SMILEY

I come to trade and find I cant.
Why?

Item 9 - SSR Glasses (female) need the 120 sticks of gum but 10 MALE raeder earpieces.
This makes no sense to me at all, it means that male characters can wear their earpieces until they trade, but females have to swap 1 (if they want to wear it) and then cant trade it for the glasses because of the prerequisites.

Maybe Im the first to have this issue - I hope so and I hope this post will stop others having it too SMILEY

Ive submitted a CCR for this to hope that it will get me my glasses SMILEY

P.S To everyone on recursion whos helped me farm gum and earpieces - thanks alot! Will continue to help farm in DM if anyone needs it SMILEY

Im looking for earpieces OR the new shiny glasses - Im happy to negotiate a fair price, I have 1 earpiece and no gum, so any gum would also be good.

But more importantly, Im looking for some of the nice new shiny level 50 guns, particularly the following:

dual and single silenced fm1100s
silenced edson br-23
dual silenced fm-13sks

any other silenced level 50 guns - anything considered

Im happy to pay a fair price for 2 of each (1 to decompile and another one incase that doesnt work) SMILEY

hit me up in game via the mail thingy, here on dn1 or the doe forums.

thanks SMILEY

Im not asking for help from everyone, but if anyone has any good guides on the basics of it or any good video tutorials or pretty much anything on the subject it would help.

Ive recently found that I quite enjoy messing around with screenshots and photoshop seems to be a widely used piece of software for this.

I must stress, Im new to photoshop and many of the concepts of it - yes I probably should start with a more basic piece of software first, but as photoshop seems to be widely used, Im going on the fact it should also have alot of people who know about it as well.

So, if anyone has any basic tutorials (web-pages with pictures or videos) that cover the basics and perhaps go to intermediate things, it would be great to have those links.

The version of photoshop I have on trial (30 day trial copy) will be Photoshop CS2.

Thanks SMILEY

Im sure many of us have pets in our homes.
But Im more interested in hearing about the exotic pets, things like spiders, snakes, scorpions - things like that SMILEY

For example - do emperor scorpions really make 'bad' pets?
They arent fluffy and things like a cat or dog, but how do they compare?

Any pictures of your pets and anything you want to say about them - go for it, Im just keen to learn all about other peoples pets and to know a little about them all - for example, having a pet spider that gets upset when you arent around... all that sort of thing SMILEY

(( The story below is something I came up with in the last hour or so... its the first part of a story about my character.
I wont give away anything at this point, but Id like people to read it and tell me what they think of it.
When I have a new part, I will update the thread ))

She didn't know why she was here.
She knew she probably shouldn't even be here - but she was.

Although she had only been awakened for a few years, it might as well have been a lifetime ago for her,
the streets she grew up on, the dull apartment blocks of Rogers Way were still the same, the gangs still ran
the streets here. Things were exactly as she remembered, but different as well.

The last time she was here, was to tell her mother that she was going to meet a few friends after work but would
come around and see her later in the week. Only... she wasn't going to meet a few friends after work.
Fate had other plans for her - 2 hours and a red-pill later, she was supposedly 'free' from a prison she never knew
existed.

The real question - was why was she back here now? She wasn't on any kind of mission or official business and it's
common knowledge that redpills aren't meant to visit people they knew as bluepills... but she didn't care about that right now. Guidelines, regulations, rules - screw it all. She had to know the truth.

Walking across from the Northwest area of Rogers Way, she entered the apartment block she knew previously as home. The stench of mould, urine and decay filled the air.
Making her way slowly towards the only working elevator in the building, she hit the button for floor 14.
Slowly, noisily - the elevator made it's way to the floor she requested. The smell and state of the elevator itself
was interesting; blood, urine, various other stains she didn't recognise all melded together making the elevator seem more used than it really was - most people took the stairs for the very reason that elevators were often used as bathrooms.

Arriving at floor 14, she walked down a narrow hallway, past several doors until she approached one in particular.
Removing her sunglasses and putting them in her shirt pocket, she ran her fingers down the door-frame.
The dent in the door from the time her father was seriously ill... the medics nearly smashed the door open with the
stretcher... the mark was still there on that door - just as it was on her.

She started to think back - her father, so ill at the time - seemingly so little they could do for him, if only they
knew what she now knows... they could have saved him.

Shaking her head, she cleared the visions from her mind, her eyes darting to the sign on the door itself.
'Apartment available for Rent - contact the landlord for details. (555) 2517-214'.

She knew in her heart what this meant, there was little doubt - but she still had to be sure that what she felt was
true.

She left the apartment building - heading back into the depths of Rogers Way...

How 'seriously' do you play your in-game characters?
Is there a definite line between 1 who may be Mech and 1 who may be Merv or is it somewhat blended (meaning while they are different orgs and you keep them seperate, their personality is similar)?

How would you handle the following situation IC?

Your character is Zion and has openly opposed EPN tactics for some considerable time, with the lack of the truce and Zions willingness to work with EPN, you find yourself wondering why you opposed EPN tactics for such a long time.

You have 'softened' to them, but still dont like them.
For various reasons you have been debating/toying with the idea of joining EPN as their philosophy seems closer to your own than Zion.

How would you handle this IC?
Would you simply u-turn, join EPN and disregard previous RP statements or would you subtly move yourself into an RP position that allowed you to join EPN and still keep your character RP fluid?

If you wish, you can substitute Zion/EPN for Mech/Cyph or whatever.
This is a straight forward question - Id rather it didnt spiral out of control and turn into an outright flame-fest.

Im simply curious about how other people RP their characters in game - this whole thread should be taken as entirely OOC - as you would be talking ABOUT your character, not AS your character SMILEY<img src=

I'm not sure if this is specifically an MxO problem or not but I'll post in the hope that someone has either seen this before or can give me a pointer or 2.

Have been happily playing MxO since January, no real problems to speak of so far.

Earlier last week my graphics went all over the place, severe corruption and such, so I rebooted, expecting this to clear it.

Sure enough, in Windows it cleared it, but as soon as I went back into MxO it came back.

I've borrowed a friends' video card now and this doesn't do it but instead it seems to have see-through textures on characters in random places.

I can't really pin it down to anything specific, nothing on my system has been changed lately except trialling a new video card.

I have all the latest drivers available, MxO is patched and is fine with my old old card.

Trialling this on another copy of the OS (dual boot) does not fix it.

Specs :

Windows 2000 SP4

1.5GB RAM

Old Old Card - NVidia GeForce4 Ti4600 (stock)

My Card - XFX NVidia GeForce 6800GT (stock)

Friends Card - Gainward NVidia GeForce 7800GS 'BLISS' (stock)

DirectX - 9.0c

PSU - Antec TrueBlue 550W

Board - Gigabyte GA800T (I think)

All cards are AGP and use the NVidia Forceware drivers.

Has anyone else had any kind of graphics corruption issues or does anyone have any idea of how I might pin this down to a specific component?

Only thing I can think of is that I have some kind of low-level (motherboard) hardware problem that's just suddenly 'appeared', I will try a fresh install of the OS and see if I get anywhere.

Please ignore this request in it's entirity.
