  1. Currently considering immortalizing all my characters in a book... of pictures, back stories favourite places etc. So in years to come I can look over it
  2. Psygon

    City of Cute

    Since my account isn't active I can't post this in the art forums

    Anyways... some people may remember I made a whole bunch of avatars for people all with a very cute theme...

    I just wanted to say if I made you one, and you lost it and want a copy before the forums go down please let me know via PM or this thread and I will try and get a copy over to you as I have them all saved...
  3. I've been playing Rift with ExtraGonk for the last year... it's no City of Heroes, not by a long shot, but it's also not *that* bad (assuming you're OK with the whole elves and dwarves thing...).

    It does have quite a few things going for...

    - achievements (think badges...
    - artifacts (think badges... only you have to collect thousands of little shiny things)
    - fun world/zone quests
    - 2 headed turtles to ride around on
    - decentish community
    - devs/community managers that seem to listen (sometimes)
    - continual new content (think issues... we're about to get Issue 10 which isn't bad for a year and a bit)
    - Exemping down (no sidekicking up but you can team with people lower than you)
    - A big world to explore - level design is interesting and varied
    - there always seems to me that there is something to do
    - big expansion coming up so a good time to jump in
    - spec styles are quite wide and varied - stuff in there for min-maxers and newbies alike
    - pvp can be pretty fun... (and I don't even like pvp!)

    Sure there are no costumes but you can still have a bit of fun trying to make your characters look cool...

    You can play for free from 1-20 too, so no need to buy and then decide you don't like it.

    If you do fancy picking it up I'm on IceWatch EU, happy to help new starters out :-) Find me as Psygon or Shpongle, or ExtraGonk as Remington and yeah... there are no globals in this game...

    oh and quick edit... player and guild 'housing' is coming soon - reminds me of bases... just without all the cool superhero stuff
  4. Adding my voice to this, would love to have VIP enabled until the end. My account has lapsed at the moment and I'm gutted I can't record all my characters before the lights go out

    I kinda hope they unlock everything... my sub had expired and I want to be able to login and capture all my characters before everything shuts down for good
  6. Wow... I am totally shocked. Haven't played COH in a few months but I always thought it would be here when I came back... just never really imagined that it would go anywhere.

    This is where I grew up in MMOs - heck, it was the first MMO I played... so many great memories.

    I always thought Paragon would be forever
  7. Pleased my global has survived... despite the fact that there appears to be a Psygon on every server!
  8. I will stay over on EU... but I'm planning on making at least a couple of alts on the servers I'll now be able to access given both my EU accounts are full currently

    hurrah for new slots
  9. Today on defiant 2 players got married... Mystel and Super Ready. As a wedding pressie I made them some City of Cutes

    Them in normal matching cossies:



    Them in wedding outfits:



    and little avatar sized versions:

    its amazing, so light, doesn't feel cheap at all the books are sooooo easy to read it is actually like reading a book but slimmer and lighter, and you can take 90,000 with you on holiday without taking 2 suitcases the only bad thing that it has is that you can't smell that new book smell... but i can always do without that

    + im saving mother earth!

    loving the new purchase
    these were the same thoughts I had when I got mine!

    If you go here: http://www.gelaskins.com/ you can customise your kindle some funky skins available :P or... you can make your own!
  17. Thanks for hosting it , there were some great costumes out in pocket d!

    Hamidon Raids

    We've done a couple of nights of EoE hunts now... could probably do with gathering a few more still tho so we have enough to share around!

    Happy to help with more hunting tomorrow evening (weds)
  20. Psygon

    Hamidon Raids

    I should be able to make this date so please include me in a team!

    These are the toons I'd like to offer up:

    Emp/Dark Defender
    Plants/Rad Controller
    Sonic/Sonic Defender

    Also, I don't mind bossing people around :P

    Thanks

    Psygon
  21. looks like I may have 7 defenders now... but if anyone is interested let me know!
  22. I'm looking to arrange an all defender run at the Lord Recluse Strike Force.

    I don't have a fixed day and time in mind at the moment as initially I am looking to see if there is enough interest - so please sign up below if you would be interested and what type of defender you can offer (and if there are any nights which work best for you!)

    I got 4 already - 2 x dark, 1 x kin and an emp - and would be looking for a fairly balanced team... if at all possible!

    Thanks
  23. Psygon

    Hamidon Raids

    I'm in for a hamidon raid!

    Would bring my Empath if needed

    Can do most days

    Why a 1 hour cool down? o.O

    How about a 5 minute cooldown, if any cooldown at all.
    I was just trying to bring it inline with other temporary powers like the workstation power you can get. 1 hour maybe a bit long though, so I reckon it could be shorter without being game breaking
