    Well said! Bravo!

    I'm still convinced that the AE system in itself was a mistake. The whole "player-made content" thing was and is a delusion, and NCsoft knows it. It's a potential power leveling tool, nothing more. I've looked for actual storyline content and I've found only a handful that are worthwhile.
    First off, your board Avatar rocks. Well done.

    I personally use the AE to design custom content that appeals to me
    (Origin Stories and the like) but I am not the best designer out there.

    It is my hope that more people embrace and use this system. The
    very fact that you can have some control over how a story or mission
    is told is to ME a good thing.

    But I may one of only a few that feels that way.

    Cheers!

    Atlas is my default zone as well. I like the fact that the highest concentration
    of players is located there. As with anything, the hoopla over AE will die down
    soon and things should return to normal.

    On the Freedom Server, I'm pleased to see that players still run events, contests
    and socialize under the impressive statue of Atlas. The only thing missing really
    is a player accessable coffee shop.

    It is my opinion that after a day filled with safeguarding the weak, helpless
    and oppressed - Your local hero would need his or her dose of Java and a
    Donut.

  4. I personally would like to see the Ritki take a Borg mentality and assimilate
    heroes and villians. Of course this would require a certain amount of risk and
    border on a PvP setting - As any hero or villian so changed would require help
    to be returned to normal or be open to attack by other players.

    Logging out at a hospital would enable the medical staff to begin the removal
    of the bioware over a period of time, but you can also choose to remain 'Borged'
    and fight both Heroes and Villians for the glory and advancement of the Ritki
    Agenda.

    Yes, I'm cRaZy but thought I'd share an outlandish wish. We now return to
    your regular COH/V Universe.

    Voip

    Hey gang:

    Just wondering what if any VOIP chat software any you might use
    while on City Of Heroes/Villains? And for the developers, are there
    any plans to eventually bundle a VOIP in the client?

    I am aware that at least one major MMO does offer a client VOIP
    option -However having only ever played COH/V, I'm not sure if
    the bundle route would even worth exploring.

    Either way, I do use Skype on a regular basis. But despite the
    immense benefit of voice quality due to P2P (Peer To Peer) is there
    another provider that could be recommended?

    Thanks in Advance and Cheers!
  6. I've been a fan of the game since 2005. With that being said, the Going Rogue component is really a great addition. In classic comic book form, now a character
    that you loved to hate can for whatever reasons change sides and be one of the
    best additions to a Team.

    I know I'm preaching to the choir here folks, but Going Rogue stands to not only
    breath new life into our standard CO-X experience but really in my opinion almost
    re-invent MMOs (At least for me.)

    Now that I've wasted all of our valuable time, I just wanted to offer a very sincere
    thank you for this highly anticipated feature. Can't wait!

    For your own safety and sanity, don't answer that! It's a trap says I - Just
    like when a woman asks "Do I look fat in this dress" or Gawd forbid you bring
    up their age.

    (Of course I'm joking ladies *hides*)
  8. My two cents in this debate is as follows:

    War Witch is better looking then Posi, so I don't mind either.

    [No animals were hurt with the posting of this comment and by no means is it
    meant to offend the human populace - It's called humor.]
  9. I often draw inspiration for a name from various sources:

    The internet is obviously going to be a first choice for most. But don't limit yourself
    to only one version or spelling. John could be spelled Jon, Johnn, Jonn and so on and
    such. Since my wife and I are expecting, baby name books are also a good research
    tool. Also consider searching though history for notable names that can be used.

    Also try the same name in a different language if it fits with your character description
    and backstory. Keep in mind, some players may assume that you actually speak the
    lanaguage of your character's name (It happened to me yesterday when I chose a
    Japanese Name) but on the plus side, it was an great way to meet a new player and
    chat for a bit.

    A good name is only half the story regardless. A well written description will further
    distinguish your chracter from the rest. So whether you and your buddy are both
    named John Smith and Jonn Smith, your backstory will set the tone and actually
    define the name.

    Cheers!

    Hey there:

    I wanted to only address one portion of your text, hence the fact that only
    part of your message was quoted. I myself have recently transfered from a
    server (Protector) that in my opinion was less active to one that has a great
    deal more players present (Freedom)

    While I can understand lag being a concern to some, I personally enjoy the
    player/character interaction more on the Freedom server then my previous
    home. My rationale is as follows: If I didn't want to be surrounded by more
    players for grouping and conversation, I could easily play a game that only
    offered single or small group play.

    By no means am I putting you down for your question(s) - It is only my own
    personal opinion.

    Cheers!
