This is a great idea. If anyone still wants one, I still have mine and I think **TVGeek** still has his.  
My e-mail is in my profile.

I sent mine off to **Askia** , so I am out.

For the new Dopers joining us in Paragon City, RI, check out [http://sdmb.culex.us](http://sdmb.culex.us) for the Doper supergroup CECIL, and join the chat channel #CECIL when you are online to hook up. I believe the largest concentration of Dopers is on the Virtue server, but there are pockets of others as well.

I sent mine to **Anaamika** so unless she already got one, I’m out. However, **TVGeek** hasn’t even checked his e-mail lately so his should still be in there.

I’m _almost definitely_ getting a new computer this weekend. I should know for sure on Thursday.

If I get it I’d love to try CoH, since I was so excited about getting it and my computer got fried right at release.

Email [thespacepope@gmail.com](mailto:thespacepope@gmail.com) if you guys still have extras.

Nobody’s emailed me asking for one yet… guess my extra invite’s no good, huh? Ah well.

I thought **Hugh Jass** took it, or I would have asked you first. I already got one from **congodwarf** , though. Thanks, **congodwarf**!

No, Hugh was offering up one of his own.

I do. And it will be yours, since the response has been underwhelming so far. In fact, I’ll skip my idea of waiting to check my home email, do you have an email in your SDMB profile?

I always thought it looked interesting but the monthly fee turned me off. How do I get started?

Scratch that, you do. Is that the email you prefer to receive the invitation?

Mien has been claimed. Sorry to the dopers out there looking for a free 14 days for a sweet game. Hmmm…I wonder how high a level I could get a char in 14 days…I typically can get to level five the ngiht I create one…I would say if I made sure to play for a couple hours each night i could get at least to level 16 (I’m the anti-power leveler. I get mad debt, yo.)

Yes, thanks. My house is being deserted by all others this weekend, and I was thinking of buying a new game just so I can play it for hours at full volume on the computer speakers. This’ll be even better.

Of course, I’m playing right into NCsoft’s hands. I’ll be hooked by Monday, and simply have to buy the game.

I sent my one good one to **klintypooh**. It turns out the old Valentines Day code has expired.
