Hello my fellow heroes, it's been far too long.
I started playing CoH on October 10, 2005, and I fell in love with the game like I haven't with any MMO before or since. I played until the servers closed down and I still remember when Virtue went offline. I probably met some of you at the Hero Cons and Meet N' Greets and I had the good fortune of being a part of the Focus Group that tested the CoH Freedom in the Paragon offices before it went live. I loved this game.
I had a hard time letting go of this one. When they announced it was shutting down I had a hard time playing because I knew it was going away, and yet I didn't want to stop playing and after it shut down, I tried to stay up on what was going on. I tried to stay plugged into Valiance and Titan and Project Atlas and Icon\Paragon Chat, but honestly, it was just a little too bittersweet. So I stepped away for a while and focused on other things in my life.
But I just passed the 12 year anniversary of downloading and starting this game, and as I poked around on here, I'm seeing that some things have chanced, that some of these projects have progressed, and I'm genuinely excited to see that.
So I was hoping some of you guys might catch me up, give me the short version of where things are at. Looks like Paragon Chat has connectivity now, and active powers? Events?! Is there combat?
Also, how are Valiance and Titan coming along? I haven't checked the Facebook statuses yet, but is it time to start looking into those?
Also, just writing this is making happy, this was always a great community and just seeing that it's still here, still going, I almost forgot how much I missed this.
Thanks guys!
