We both spent a chunk of our time dealing with disconnects while on Freedom, so we didn't accomplish as much as we had wanted. But we did get our DPs to 50, which was my personal goal. Was able to get another one to 50 as well. So I am satisfied how this DXP weekend turned out.

I am a CoH vet, played since day one, played on and off at an average of 4-5 month a year. I always come back with the same 3-4 friends because we never tire of this game.

Since day one, all my main characters have been on Freedom. Over time, I relocated by starting red side on Guardian, but I almost never play redside anyways. I also started a few alts on Infinity and I play them quite often, nice, relaxed little server. But my main characters and highest level have always been on Freedom. Freedom, land of opportunity... I mean, land of where everyone goes by default and where farms, PL and obscenity is rampant.

Since we were recently offered free transfers, I decided to try this fabled land called Virtue, where they say that (mostly) everyone is supposedly polite and mature.

And guess what? Seems they were right.

In the first session I played, I went AFK for maybe 30 minutes (doing a respec). Had I done that on Freedom, my chat screen, upon return, would kinda have looked like this:

XxMastaKiLlAxX says: lft?
XxMastaKiLlAxX says: ltf?
Wlvrine00234 says: ae mish?
Fire Kin Lord says: farm lol?
XxMastaKiLlAxX says: lft?
XxMastaKiLlAxX says: ltf??????1

But... it didn't. I had indeed two group invitations on screen, from two different people. They had capital letters. Punctuation. Complete words... Words like "hello" and "please".

I made it a point to give those two people a full answer. They deserved that much.


Contrary to what it looks like, this post is not meant to bash Freedom. Some people like how Freedom is; more power to them. I was just growing more and more secluded after each social interaction I experienced there. This is meant to say that, from a first glance, Virtue seems to be all it promises to be.

So to celebrate this, I loaded Black Azura, my sweet, sweet Kat/Inv scrapper who has been in her 40s for over two years. Yesterday night, with four friends I dragged along, I played and completed my very first mission on Virtue. And so, just as we were happily throwing the last group of Council soldiers around, Azura reached level 50. My very, very first level 50. No powerleveling, no farms. Took me six years to get there.

Tonight, I will roll my first Kheldian on Virtue. Because Virtue is just that cool.

And dare I say roleplay?

Positron, I went with a version illustrating Keyes that his overrun by the radioactive energy, so much so that his suit could no longer contain its power, so modifications had to be made: (note the chains, literally shackling him into the powersuit, for his, and everyone else's safety.)

Synapse is along the same lines, I wanted a more extreme representation of his powers, but still keep the heroic tights feel.

It's cyclical. It happens in every game.


Perhaps if the game is no longer fun for you, it won't matter what they put in. You'll burn through the new shineys in a month, and be right back to being bored and complaining about not having new stuff fast enough. It seems MMOs are not good for your ADD.

While they may look nothing like the canon characters we have all come to know, I feel that these best portray a new, or realistic, Freedom Phalanx.

That's all I've been able to make for the storyarc with my limited time. But I have rough drafts for the rest.... just need them to increase the file size for the AE arcs :P
