    Yeah I am going to bombard you with questions about telepathy now that I have seen:

    "For starters, meet with CM TrailTurtle in the Powerhouse Theater on Tuesday, 4-5:30 PM (Pacific). Come show off your best costume, meet people, or just talk Nighthawk and power sets. If all goes smoothly, we?ll be Livestreaming this as well."

    Just realised the time...it's going to be horrific for people like me living in the EU...oh well..I will try I must get my questions in x.X

    Does the leveling contest just count how many 40s we have on our accounts? Or do we actually have to level them during the event? Because, honestly, I'm out of powers to make toons with, and I have 22 level 40s already...

    We're bringing Sapphire back?
    Please tell me she's got the same song. I kinda... forgot to record it last time, and the only version of it I've got is taken from Youtube, and it has UI sounds over bits of it.
    Because it was so bad it was strangely awesome because it was so hammy. Like the Subspecies movies.

    *fingers crossed that we get a certain Dr's return for the event*

    Looking forward to seeing what we get this year. I suspect its going to be loads of fun.

    First, it is not the "three-year anniversary." There's no such thing as a "three-year anniversary." It's the third anniversary.

    Second, how do we post the art in this thread (or any other) when we can't upload them?

    I use photobucket myself, or DeviantArt, depending on how fancy you want to be. Typically I use my photobucket account for screenies and DA for actual arts like in my sig.

    < . .> On the off chance anyone needs to know how to type out link:

    [ u r l = "addresshere"]Name you want for the link here[ / u r l]

    No spaces except in the name you want for the link.

    The rules specify that you have to create the character during the event, then level to 40 before it ends (so far scheduled for Sept 6, but TT's been talking about trying to get that extended). It proves you "know the game inside and out" because for those of us who are, shall we say, a tad more casual, getting a character from 1 to 40 inside a week feels next to impossible...

    This makes me happy. So glad to see the event coming back.
    Thought you forgot your own birthday.

    One of the upshots of having no servers that are on different times is that everyone's linked together; the downside is something like this. :/ I don't have a good sense of how much of CO's population is based in CEST (or EDT, for that matter).

    You mean this song? http://co.perfectworld.com/blog/?p=591471 :biggrin:

    The fan art and leveling contest threads are actually in a different section -- I'll add those links into the OP. It looks like CO's version of vBulletin doesn't support uploading images, but you can link to them, hosted on a site like photobucket.

    Like Angel said, just those characters that were both created and reached level 40 during the event.

    I listened to this song again and I cant imagine her saying:

    "Salvando al mundo" without a duck face xD >:()()

    so the levelling contest this year, will be who can spam the most alerts. People have already been talking on zone about spamming theirs till 40 for the contest.
    In Australia, so Trailturtle talk is on when I'm at work.

    Looking forward to other anniversary events, though with some aprehension after the leveling conetest one.

    Levelling was fast before alerts, after alerts it became ridiculously fast, then to hold an event saying look how fast levelling is here an encouraging people to power level boggles the mind.

    I rather run Smash/XP Alerts that do the content i've done 50+ times over again, but since most of the Smash/XP Alerts seem to vanish somewhere when i play, i run the same content again as i have done multiple times....Gone are the Nemesis, Black Fang and most other Docks that are easy way to lvl.
    /played 23 hours and at lvl 27 so far. Used 2 1Hour 20% XP things and running on Heirlooms 9% XP. No idea if i'm gonna be lvl 40 at the when the Anniversary leveling Contest ends.
    Would i do this again? Nope.

    Finn out.

    Your awesome talents are better served with your art. I love the characters in your sig. Been meaning to say that for a while now.

    "Huge sales"... I don't suppose there's any word on when these will take place, and whether or not Freeform Slots will be discounted at any point during it?
    Dasher@Tool-box, donning his armor to prance into battle and blitz the enemy! No joke!
    Cupid@Tool-box, stunningly radiant stag ready to play matchmaker between villain and arrow!
    Vixon@Tool-box, frighteningly eager to summon despair for his adversaries!
    Jebin Zedalu@Tool-box, elementalist weaponmaster. ...One of these things is not like the others!
