Still another COH tribute video

Another tribute video -- For players some may find it emotional.  

Nine years ago...

Nine years ago I first logged on to City of Heroes.  Thanks to a snafu with my credit card, I couldn't get online until then, even though I was ready and trying 3 days previously.  I had not been in the beta so it was completely fresh to me.

Thinking back, it was a different game.  For one, the max level was 40.  Nobody knew any tricks, so leveling was SLOW.   No capes were there -- even the flag on the Atlas Park City hall was rigid and static.  No one did costume contests back then -- there was no market, no inventions, no Architect missions, No Pocket D, No villain player characters, no badges.  No veteran bonuses -- so everyone had to get to level 6 and get that prerequesite travel power and work their way to 14 before they could TRULY fly, run, or leap.    I remember the strain it was to get enough influence to buy enhancements for my powers.  Those beginning characters were eternally broke.

I do remember the wonder of it.   The first time I was in King's Row and saw someone superleap away from me.  I remember the frustration of people trying to hover up the sides of King's Row buildings, moving ever so slowly.  I remember my first trip into Perez Park seeing Circle of Thorn torture fire circles inside the trees.   I remember one of my first characters, Cyrex, a half alien Illusion/empath controller, getting Invisibility and wandering around upper level zones.  I took screenshots standing next to groups that could have easily killed that toon. But it was SO much fun.

It seems a pity that NCSoft took the action with the game they did.  

Players are celebrating this week, according to Massively, so keep an eye on Twitter.

Infinite Crisis -- DC's second MMO?

Done in 2 point perspective (ala Diablo) is this their answer to Marvel Heroes.   I have to confess, since they are playing with elseworlds I can't help but like the idea better than the Marvel game.   But I still don't like not being able to make your own custom characters.  I guess its easier for them. "*sigh*

Tribute Video - Fade To Black

Its been nearly 5 months and people are STILL doing tribute videos to this game, and it still winning awards.   I wonder if anyone at NCSoft realizes the astronomical mistake they made in cancelling this game?

Top Superhero MMO?

Another website tackles this -- including some future games.  And still look what tops the list!

Dragon*Con 2012 - Loki too?

'Nuff is enough...

Biopic - Lady Nippon

I think I've done this one a couple times, and even tried a Champions version once.
