few questions regarding combat arms...

i started playing that game a bit ago and i got som questions:

is there any other way i can get perminate weapons?

And are there other characters, besides the ones that u buy with NX and disappear after a while, such as when u make ur account, can u choose a character or class?

------------figured that i'd squeeze another quesiton in here-----------

has anyone noticed that the friend list (messenger) isn't working in combat arms, whenever i tried to add anyone to my friend list, it says failed to add person to list. i even tried just right clicking their names and clicking add friend, with no luck either. Any idea what is wrong?

Anyways, right now the combat arms offical forum doesn't seem to be working for me, so i can't post a thing

i play and love combat arms and i dont have the friends list problem and no you sadly cant have permanent weapons but once you fix it add me to ur friends my char is zuluith
