1: Sign up for every SOE game.
2: Wait for one of the games to experience server trouble.
3: "We're sorry for the inconvenience, here, take these 300 Station Cash."
4: Buy mermaid ornament for your Sundy, so when you ram the enemy they'll know it.

FTFY. That's how we do it here on the internet. :P

Or you wait for it to happen twice, and buy yourself a nice discounted gun. For free.

You can buy an even-not-discounted gun by joining all their F2P games. :P

After certing out the bolt-action rifle with the short-ranged scopes, and trying the 1x, 2x, and 4x scopes, and trying to kill people with assault rifles and carbines quicker than they can kill me, I have discovered what should have been obvious: that the sniper rifles are unsuitable for close ranged combat.

If I had an aimbot I'm sure I could get it to work.

Welcome to my world with the Warden.  Choosing between it and the GD-F7 is tricky as engy; I can either be great inside or outside of ~40 meters, but not both.  I'd sure as hell rather have it than a sniper rifle in CQC, though- at least both are reasonably effective in the middle distance instead of the gap between sniper and SMG ranges.

I do have my fair share of 6 meter warden kills, though.

I had a good run, got the 1x use of Red Zebra for my Prowler and got like 12 kills in a row.  Eventually got dead, think it was a stupid reason, and hopped into a sundy with ammo dispenser.  Earned an easy 20 certs following an armor column as they just rained fire on a base.  6-8 tanks just firing constantly at anything that came nearby, and me in the middle harvesting exp.  It was glorious.

I now plan to deck out a Battle Bus and just keep behind the others.  Mount some AA guns and whatnot, and let people hitch rides.

You get 85 SC each for signing up for Free Realms and Wizardry Online using the same account you use for PS2. As far as I know you don't get SC for signing up to any of the others.

Also I've heard that if your PS2 account is with pro sieben if you are in Europe and didn't already have a soe account, you don't get the SC.

Didn't know about Wizardry Online, but Clone Wars Adventures definitely works.

What steps are required for WO? The other two you just had to sign in on the site without downloading anything. Looking at the WO news page it seems they are giving 300SC to people who had logged into the game before they had their server problems, so do you have to actually install the game for the sign-up bonus?


EDIT: March roadmap preview. Reddit link because there are SOE staff comments clarifying some things. Also note that some of the Feb roadmap features aren't out yet so this doesn't mean all these things will be released this month, just that these are things being focused on this month.

The new rocket launchers all look pretty damned powerful. Hopefully the NC one will be able to stop Prowlers sitting around spawns with HE shells by firing around corners to chase them off.

I love the idea of the rumble seat, especially as a HA or engineer. Fully upgraded engineer with tank mines? HA spamming rockets? And then the whole bike can cloak? I've already put more certs into my flash than any other vehicle (stealth + radar) and can see that staying true for a while.

Yea that's one of the big things a lot of players dont seem to understand. The roadmap features aren't when the features will be released, but rather when they code monkeys star doing their magic. It basically means once they get to that point, the public discussions on the features are closed, and the design ideas are finalized. But the actual work on it can take quite a bit longer.
