Enhancements/IO Sets Part Two will be coming in the next episode. This time up we have some news, announcements, and your feedback!

In this episode we discuss:

Listener meet-up June 28th at 2pm, Guardian server. We are going to hit the new Hollows content, so you will need a level 5 toon to enter the zone. Meet at Wincott.
- Viv will be playing either Vico Viv or her new character, Sive the Shining.
- Chooch will be playing The Incredible Hulk Hogan (an homage to a friend that used to play)
T-shirt status -still in progress, but coming soon.
Contest – In the mail and on their way to Troy. We have decided on the following rules:
- Send us an e-mail with the subject “Funny Book Contest”
- We will do 2 random drawings, and will mail them to the winners. Make sure you include your full name, age (over 18), and complete mailing address. If we draw your name and don’t have that info, we will go to the next name we draw.
- No current deadline set; we’ll announce it in the next episode.
Still I say, go check out Twilight Guardian while you can still get your hands on it! We’ve read it, and I’m really hoping it gets picked up because I want to see what her motivations are and just generally more about the character!

2 Comments on Special Episode 05 – Freespec++

During the regularly schedule maintenance on the morning of Friday, May 30th (starting at 6 AM Pacific and lasting for 2 hours) NCSoft will be running the following grants on the live servers:

Free Respec
This will grant a respec to characters that does not stack with any previous free respecs a character may have. Given this non-stacking nature, if you have a free respec currently, you may want to use it before the grant is run.
Free Tailor Token
This will apply free tailor or facemaker session tokens for each costume slot a character has.
Global Chat Handle reset
All accounts initially start with the ability to change their global chat handle one time. This grant will reset that and allow accounts who had previously changed their global chat handle to do so again. This is a one time chat handle change, so please use it wisely.
