Who's still playing (I mean actively playing, not just subscribed)? And what server?

Me, Freedom.

Just resubbed. I forgot how cool this game is...But might get a little burned out if I start back up with my grav controller again. Not that I don't like controllers though. I made the grav controller in mind for CoV...But they're just boring as hell to play solo.

I had some characters saved on Freedom too...Maybe I'll play there. Got a guild or anything?

Haemish, Shockeye and I are thinking of coming back. Possibly soon. We've all got active accounts with chracters on Freedom from way back in the day. Maybe we should figure something out for the new year.

Yeah, we should do this. WoW is /canceled as of today. Some friends of mine canceled as well. I liked it, but I won't be coming back until the devs stop being arrogant fucks. Fixing the classes and PvP would be nice too.

Heh, City of heroes is pretty to watch. My vainest complaint about WoW was always that all of the attack animations are boring as shit. Coming off of EQ2 and CoH will do that to you though, where everything is a charicature of previous games.

Don't forget "jumping"! (http://forums.f13.net/viewtopic.php?t=1647&start=35) d4rkj3di or whatever his name may be right.

Yea, I just logged in on Mr. Ripley and putzed around in the Hollows with Super Jump and Super Speed. Nothing is better than hurling through the sky looking like a fireball. I consider it - my endgame. I'll probably roll up a new character on Victory later.

Still actively playing on Victory. Characters:

Eve Ning (21 Blaster)

Peter Pain (22 Blaster)

I only play about 3-5 hours/week, (only!) and still make progress and still enjoying it. Just started getting into Sky Raider, Freakshow and Banished Pantheon missions.

Just restarted the other day.

UPDATED:

The Ultimate Indescribable Violence, 25 Scrapper on Liberty.

Same server as always, Seismic is shelved (not soloable) for now, but Panther Inferno is still around.

I don't play all that much, but if people go back, I would.

I'm playing on Virtue.  Still under 14 with a defender and scrapper because I've been busy lately.  I have a 19 controller on Victory, but haven't played that in ages and will hate to miss the early content with it. :)

I just logged on to Victory to check out an old char when some guy came up to me, said "Merry Christmas" and gave me 50,000 influence.

That's a lot right?

Nope, that's like a couple (6 or something...but considering you need like 18, it's a couple) DOs.

Edit: Assuming the prices are still the same now as they were the first month.

Hmm..Oh well. It'll help with noob items still, so I might as well stay on Victory.

I'll be on as either Matador or the Subterranean. If you guys decide to move to Freedom I have some characters there too.

Yep.  I forget who came up with the SG name on this board, but it was too good to pass up, so I completely swiped The Prancing Protectors.

If you want an invite, just /friend Captain Pansy (me) or Smatta Yu, one of my officers, and tell him you know Cap.  Or we can just come up with a time here to meet online.

Still playing with my chars Sulphur Feast and Discordian on Virtue.

Must... catass... 2... victory!

Heh, I spend most of my CoH time examplared down. I catass 4 influence.

Playing over on Virtue in a SG from the people over at ArsTechnica. Mostly play as Enron Executive but I'm also there as Brass Knocker and Hoo Flung Doo.

I haven't played Burning Cold on Victory in ages since the SG fizzled. Might bring him out of mothballs if something starts up again.

I am actively playing on Infinity as any number of characters.  Llava, Ashen Eidolon, Caligo, Third Mortal, Gin, Eldritch, Margrave are the names under which you are likely to find me.

Something interesting going on here. Several of my friends have been missing CoH and are thinking of going back.

More than once, I have heard total strangers in WoW talk about missing CoH and maybe going back.

Something about that game stands out. Maybe because it isnt more orcs, dwarves, giant spiders, Tolkien ripoff. For all it's faults, it got a lot of things right.

Still on Victory - primarily playing my scrapper.

Though occasionally various controllersor my Storm defender get a look in.

Still playing, though i find myself taking long breaks from CoH to play other shineys.  The BC supergroup still exists though it has been very sparse.

I'll probably stay subbed for a long time.  Made 30 a couple of weeks ago then new games hit and I haven't had time to get back in, but I shall, once I'm done with Kotor2.  Will eventually get to starting my new story arcs.

Xilren

I'm very slowly moving through the lvl 20s on Virtue.

I'm still on Victory as my scrapper Whipcrack.

I need just a little extra push to resub.  Are they offering any free time?  10 days say?

No, but they are offering a free respec when Issue 3 goes live.

link please?  All I've seen is a free respec for test server characters.

Look for the post by Statesman.

thanks.

I haven't been in much, got WoW late and haven't tired of that quite yet. But I'm trying to keep an eye on CoH.

Qua Fin Ti
Scrapper
Whichever server Bat Country is on...

Still playing, mostly on Victory. I can't settle on any one character but I'm most frequently playing a fire/kinetics controller at the moment.

I had the game at release, but quit at some point months ago (I forget when exactly). Anyway, I think I played on Freedom, had a 26 Dark Melee/SR scrapper, but I dunno if I could ever resub...

I wanted to love the game, I truely did...but I just couldn't do it. I pretty much got all the powers I really wanted, my cool titles, and a cape. Eventually, the game just turned into a horrible grind for me...Seems my only choices were to either group with morons, or solo my missions, both of which were both boring and things I refuse to do if I have a choice.

Plus, it seems MMO's are detrimental to my college education, hehe.

There are NPCs in the zones who will make your missions harder. Unless it was the rationale you found boring, in which case, that hasn't changed much.

There is a point where you need a good SG to keep playing. Dealing with pickup teams is refreshing once in a while but you don't want that to be the common denominator.

I think the thing that really did me in was the fact that in order to advance, you had to kill a lot of mobs, an inordinate number of mobs. Even with no debt and soloing missions, my xp simply crawled along, and seemed even slower when I grouped. I even loved the idea of no inventory or economy, in theory....I use to argue with my friends over this, but I do now have to agree; there Is something about loot that makes some mmo's more interesting.

Eventually, my sessions could be boiled down to me running out to a mission, killing all the junk, running back to the contact, rinse and repeat. That's just not fun to me. =/

PS: Damnit, I lost my screenshot of my toon with his fancy cape, in all his Daring, Death-Defying glory.

I'm still on Victory.

Bump.

Just reupped....anyone around in Freedom? Could really use competant people to play with.

Also, I semi-forget what I am supposed to be doing in-game.

Heh

Reroll on Victory for best chances. Bat Country is there, and the Morlock's SG as well. I just re-upped, not that I have much time to play. I keep waiting to hit that wall in WoW...and waiting...and waiting..

I just ordered a gametime code, I missed this game way to much.

See you on victory ...

It was strange on Victory tonight.  I was in Atlas Park with one of my newbie alts and there were all these very high level characters dead in a pile  around Ms. Liberty.  People were dancing and shouting and they said they were protesting incoming PvP.  I don't really know exactly what was going on.  They were making lag too awful so I logged out.

Seriously?

Wow.

People are idiots.

Someone told me they were using some sort of poison which I've never heard of.  It started with an "H",  I think.  I still don't know what they were doing and didn't find any info on the boards, though I didn't look very hard.  Someone named Ravenette was shouting GM baiting stuff.  Maybe her name was Rasinette... I'm not sure now.  I've been up all night.

I'm on Freedom.  Join the Bat Country channel and when you're on I'll shoot you an SG invite.

What... the... fuck?

Why would you protest PVP? It isn't as if you HAVE to engage in it, at all. You can happily avoid it like the plague? Are they giving mentally deficient children computers now?

You don't really need an answer to that, do you?

The only thing I can guess is that they're worried about PvP balance concerns taking up dev time, and messing up what is conceived as good PvE balance as it presently exists.  Witness the thread about changes to O2 Boost, where people here think it may be prepatory for PvP.  Especially if they've come from EQ1, or DAoC, where changes were made to classes based on how they performed in PvP, that greatly effected those classes in PvE as well.

I really have no idea what they were on about and how all those high level people were killed in front of Ms. Liberty.  There's not /suicide feature, as far as I know, is there?  I've perused the forums and have yet to find any explanation.  The bodies were gone this morning and Victory was back to normal, although there always seems to be at least some lag in Atlas.  It was very, very weird.

Well, it's not as if the devs are suddenly going to say "Ok, nevermind about the PvP.  We'll just scrap out plans for the next issue and our first expansion COMPLETELY.  So what else WOULD you like?"

Personally, I think it was just a bunch of kids who are still too young to get into a proper rave.

Kids still go to raves? I thought that was just a Hollywood invention.

It must be a generational thing, because I've only seen one once, and the sight of teenage douchebags twirling around with glow sticks made me want to commit mass murder.

What do you have against glow sticks?

EDIT: Downloading now ...

I went to a rave.

Actually it wasn't so much a rave as it was a few of us that drove out to the desert with speakers and a strobe light.

And beer.

And there wasn't so much dancing as there was a lot of sitting around and going "I hope nobody patrols here.  OH SHIT WHAT'S THAT?!  Oh, phew, just another truck of kids who think they're being clever coming out here.  Close call!"
