One of my most favorite memories is with my beloved Pinball Wizards (all Kinetics SG) and our challenge to keep J-Man alive. The contest was held way back in 2006, way before the AoE buff changes which meant we had to buff everyone individually (SB and ID).

We had a full team of 7 kins and one infamous debt loving tanker against in the shadow shard against the Eyeballs of Doom aka Rularuu spawning LVL 53 enemies. It was one of the best times I've had in the game.

If you want to see the video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Yb5O3vErM

I am really pleased to have been apart of a group that helped changed people's perception on how powerful all Defenders are.

You and your touching videos! I made it through all this time without sniffling and now dang it...*shakes fist*
Damn those ninjas slicing onions!

Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my banners, thank you.

Here are some banners I created for the SAVECOH movement. There are a variety of sizes for use on a number of sites. If anyone needs a custom size, please let me know.

As always, please save the image to your computer for use. If you're using it as a signature, make sure you host the image elsewhere. Please do not hotlink.

I also have a rather large image for my twitter account. You can view the background there http://www.twitter.com/AltyMonkey

The original sound of Fulcrum Shift with the whip crack instead of the current tinker bell sound. It's the sound used in Siphon Power, but it was changed in fulcrum shift because it cause issues.

There's also the City of Heroes facebook group that has been around for a long time. Lots of folks in there will still be discussing the game, even if it closes its doors.

The very first thing that made City of Heroes unique for me was the fact that they had an extensive skin tone palette, which allowed me to make heroes that looked like me. That palette actually represented the skin tones of the world. There are 3 rows of 10 shades each having undertones of red, yellow and I believe green...30 different shades for skin colors. I do not know of any other MMO that has that many or would even take the time to make that many. I know this seems like a very tiny thing, but it really is not.

Skin tone palettes are extremely important because it says to me that the makers of the game actually have a good world view and understand that people come in a variety of colors and not all from a eurocentric palette. I'm an African American woman and a large portion of my characters are African American women. I probably have more black female superheroes than there are in the entire comic universe. Sure that could be exaggeration but the sad part is, it probably is not.

City of Heroes allowed me to create the characters I wanted to play and to have characters look the way I wanted them to look.

I'll just repeat what I posted on the Titan forums. I believe this is not the direction we want to go in. Especially when it's only 2 weeks out and there appears to be an expectation of response. So because we're not getting that response we are moving to spamming their inbox. They are not on our timeline. We've sent them actual letters because we thought it was better than email which is easily ignored. People have strong reactions to floods of emails, and usually it is not good.

The only reason I see that we're doing this email route is because they're not responding as rapidly as WE think they should. That is not a good reason.

I'm behind the movement and all we've done. I think we should continue our efforts and get more media attention. I think mailing letters, capes and masks is great. In game events, videos. We need physical representations of our love of the game and why we want to save it. We need to show that we are real people, we do that by sending real letters, and items to make people real to let them know this decisions is harming real people.

Instead of black, why not do a themed costume.

How about a Paragon Noir day with everyone wearing Grayscale colors (1st row of the color chart only)

Or a Steampunk day using Browns.

Or Sci Fi day

Or Beast day

Or Robots/Cyborg

Or Ninjas

Or Zombies

You're not the first nor will you be the last to make that suggestion. It's difficult when folks are passionate about saving COH. If the owners of those pages could come together and give Content Creator permissions to those who are leading the preservation efforts at Titan Network, or their selected reps, then it would be better at focusing the messages, engaging the fans and getting more people involved.

It's early so I expect there to be some chaos before things get smoothed out a bit. This is just week 1. Also not everyone is a social media wizard so the more folks that offer suggestions (on the titan forums works better since that's the HQ of the effort), it helps a lot.

Okay, this is my self serving question because all the good stuff has been asked already:

So everyone in Repeat Offenders plays the "Who's the hidden dev in RO" game, but we would like to finally solve the mystery of who was in the Repeat Offenders or ran with us? We do have some confirmed generalizations but it'd be nice to know for sure.

Also thank you Castle for giving us our slogan.
Please feel free to PM me the answer...cause it would make our day.

Please add Derek "Sailor Rush" R. to your list. His global was @Sailor Rush. He played mostly on Virtue and he loved this game very much. We all in RO miss him greatly. He passed on September 7, 2010. We're coming up on the anniversary of his passing.

Here's his .costume file.

If you need any more details, please let me know.

Write this up and mail it directly to NCSoft, that way you can be assured that someone from that company will read it. Sitting on the forum means that perhaps only the players and those still left at Paragon Studios will read it.

Click the link below for company addresses and guidelines along with some letters that players sent: http://bit.ly/write2ncsoft

Has anyone drafted a press release, so those in the media would have easy access to the information. Or any type of media kit for the Save City of Heroes effort? Make it easier for the press to obtain information on the rescue efforts.

I also notice on Twitter, many are using #COH or #CityOfHeroes hashtags, perhaps start trending with #SaveCOH or #SaveCityofHeroes If you get it trending high enough on twitter, more folks will get interested.

(I'll cross post to the Titan forums)

If only we could get this one thing before it closes down, that would be great!

This forum is the birthplace of Repeat Offenders, I'll miss it greatly. From the old days of the "healer" threads to the very beginnings of RO with Teklord's Pinball Wizards (all Kins) and Green Machine (all Empathy Def) to Tormentoso's Perfect Storm (all Storms). We in RO are very proud to have helped prove that Defenders were more than just "healers".

Thank you Defenders, for I am very proud to have played such a great Archetype in this City of Heroes.

Enjoy the game and savor the memories,

Alty

Not currently, I just ran a test demo and the client loaded then the demo.

Make sure you're putting in the -demoplay line here:



Then hit OK and PLAY NOW as you normally would.

Repeat Offenders Network will still carry on. If you want a place to talk about COH when the lights go out, we'll be around.
