I think the logic is this; first goon to make a site is the official goon guild. That is the only reason kt seems.

I know this is pages and pages back, but this was literally it. At least as far as I can tell since I had the temerity to say something about not every goon wanting to play on pvp servers in the thread during the beta and the 'guild leader' lost his top and someone bought me a half-naked rabbit furry avatar. :allears:

Hello Everyone!

We've listened to your ideas on how to help us receive better-focused game testing of WildStar, so we made a way to copy your live characters over to the Public Test Realm.

What do I do?

Players can now create a "snapshot" of their character on any live NA or EU Megaserver and send it to the Public Test Realm for some testing. Just initiate the process by typing in "/ptrcopy" within the chat window of the character you wish to have copied.

and it only takes 15 hours that you can't login to the character during to perform

CoX's system sent a request to their account management site through a web interface. I think it was driven by interns at first, but even then it was fast and didn't force you to log out if you were on-line with that character when the copy went through.

Automated systems? Carbine is a hardcore studio cupcake! They do stuff by hand! And that intern had better do at least 100 copypastes an hour if he ever wants to complete the attunement proces to become a paid intern!

Which is weird because they certainly used to. You could either copy your character or use a pre leveled one with all the endgame stuff.

I think there was, but they had to disable it because for some strange reason it kept overwriting the live server character with the PTR one. :allears:

I'm pretty sure it was deliberate that the 20 and 40 manshardcore were ball crushing. All they'd need to do is leave them at 40 manhardcore numbers and just let people try anyway with whatever size group they wanthardcore.

IIRC some goon got some teenage girl to move to Iceland to be his live-in fuckbuddy, and did this through another MMO guild. The Archage guild didn't want to kick him out because he was a master shipwright or something.

then they tried to sneak him back in under a different name because man, i know he's a kiddy diddler, but holy crap can he generate a lot of wool. that's not sarcasm or funnyman, that was seriously why.

It was actually Eve. But when the Eve goons found out they gave them the boot. When they washed up in Archeage the guild leadership tried to keep them around since apparently they have nothing to do but play video games all day.

And what the weirdo was doing was grooming a 14 year old girl from Iceland. It was incredibly hosed up. He still shows up at Eve meetups in Dallas too.
