I gave in to temptation with CoH today, because I really miss playing the game. I had major issues with playNC...I bought a time card at BB to use and it wouldn't go through. They were very uncooperative, and I gave up in disgust. Fortunatly BB was cool...I had all the paperwork, adn was a regular at that store, so they refunded my money.

So, after hearing how this was a rare thing from Bok, and a lot of ohter people, I went into my playNC account and reactivated it, usuing my credit card this time so I would not have to worry about the same thing happening again.

I re-installed CoH, from the disks....

And now it won't play. Hell, it won't even log on...it can't even FIND the damn site!

So now here I am, yet again, waiting for a confirmation e-mail from playNC that has not come in the past hour..I can't even get into the game. I think I was so tired of getting email form them that I blocked them from my email...so I tried to change my email contact info to a new email account, adn it keeps saying that it has sent me a confirmation email that I need to reply to...but I never get it.

But they have already charged me.....

This sucks, yet again.

I hear you. I gave up when they told me, "Oh, we're probably never going to support laptop video drivers."

Shame, too, because it's a great game for people with strange and limited play schedules.

I just want to play the damn game since we are kinda snowed in...that is why I really signed back up.

So I go to the web sire, and it says...:

ISP Maintenance Alert
Saturday, January 22, 2005

Important Info

Internet service vendors have advised us of a potential networking issue that could possibly impact Internet Service Providers (ISPs) worldwide. To address this issue, many ISPs will be conducting router reboots throughout their designated maintenance windows.

Please be advised that this could continue throughout the night and weekend and may be the reason for any connection issues you may experience over the next couple of days. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

So is anyone else having this problem today?

The automatc updater won't even update me, and I know that there have been TONS of fixes since I quit playing 6 months ago, so I don;t know if it is a problem with me or my DSL provider, Verizon.

I might just call the CC company and have them refute the charges, and cancel the playNC account again, this time for good.

I guess "playNC" stands for playNoContent.....lol...

I am not happy with CoH...do you still have an acount, or did you stop all together?

Could you do me a favor? The site says there are ISP problems, and some providers can'taccess the system.....could you try to get in and let me know?

Tech support has emailed me, but as of right now I still can't get in myself, and I have no idea if it is a problem on my end or because the whole system is down.

Thanks!

OK, I am kinda proud at this point...I figured put how to fix this on my own...I think.

Tech support wasn't helping..go figure.

Oddly enough I learned how to fix this using bitorrent, with some help from Suneun.

I needed to open my ports so that the game could access the Updater.

I diod that, and then opened them in my firewall, so that both the router (I have DSL) adm the firewall would allow it...

and now the updater is working.

I just hope the game will!
