First off: Very nice forum, well presented and organized. Im actually sorry I didnt find it under better circumstances.
Next, Im not certain whether this is a bug, or if Im doing something wrong: Im getting an error when Im attempting to create a super group.
My understanding is that the requirements for a supergroup are 5 characters all in a team at the time of group creation. I have been trying to create a group with 4 level 11's and a level 12 as the leader, all of us have been in the same team, and all of us in the Champions headquarters at the registrars desk.
The Error that comes up is this;
"ERROR CREATING SUPERGROUP: NEWLY CREATED ACCOUNTS CAN NOT CREATE SUPERGROUPS, HELP TO CREATE A SUPERGROUP OR SEND SUPERGROUP INVITES"
This is where Im getting confused : What is considered a New account? Ive searched for this in forums and the only reference Ive found to Level limit was the Dev chat discussing Silver accounts (They all are, only 2 have atari credits on them) Stating the accounts had to be at least level 10. The error coming up seems to indicate something other than that is the case.
Can someone with any experience in the initial creation of a super group share the details of the creation? Im looking for what other limitations are there. Is it a time limitation? 2 of the accounts are less than 48 hours old at time of petition/application.
Anything would be appreciated.

There is a time limitation, but it's 20 hour long. After that they are not considered a New Account, and can talk in Zone Chat. Make sure they all are 20 hours or older, and it should work unless something is wrong.
EDIT: Also, the accounts needs a total play time of 20 hours. This can be checked by typing in /played on all of their characters and adding it together.

The "New Account" flag also goes away if you have any amount of subscription time in your account history (whether or not you are currently -- it could be over a year ago, as long as it's in the history), or having had at any point a balance of points in the C-Store, I believe.
In short, it's 20 hours or proof that you're not a bot/gold farmer account (by means of having spent any money with Cryptic).

So, If Im understanding correctly, ALL participating accounts must have been -CREATED- a minimum of 20 hours before applications to a Super Group. Is that right?
Id forgotten to mention, Yes, Id heard about the cumulative 20 hours across all accounts, the shortest -run account is 3 hours, (Thanks for the /played command) All together were at 24 h and 15 min or so.
Its possible one of the accounts is less that 20 -actual- hours since creation, Ill follow that up.
Thanks for all you input, if anyone has anything further to add, please drop a line.
**EDIT** Ok, i think Im seeing where Im going wrong,.. I was interpreting the 20 hours as '20 hours played cumulative, amongst the 5 specific characters looking to join the supergroup'
Is it instead that its 20 hours of total playtime per Individual account across all char on that account.. Drat , thats exactly What PHHound is saying, I think Im only just understanding now...

There's a lot of dislike for it even among the Gold players posting on the official forums, asking for a reconsideration of the 20 hour lockdown.

Ok, Guys, Thank you all for sharing your wisdom, youve all contributed to the resolution of the matter. Im going to post this here, on the off chance theres one other person that will benefit from it; -Mine and 2 other of the accounts, while all silver, had bought c-store product, negating the 'New Account' -When you get into a supergroup, you get an additional costume slot, which stays available to you even once you leave -I trolled* the renaissance centre for anyone interested in a free costume slot for 5 min of their time. Once the team was made, they left the group, keeping their costume slot, everyone happy. Thanks again to everyone who posted! *In the original, non-internet, fishing sense.
