I'm talking from a solo'ing perspective, but one big difference is that this game tells YOUR character's story. Every other MMO I've played sets your story in place from the beginning, and you're never anybody significant. You're the latest human mage fighting against the orcs or you're a Jedi padawan preparing to take on the Sith and so on. You're always just one more soldier in a war of some sort. This game didn't do that with its missions. When you talk to Detective Habashy, he doesn't welcome you with "alright you maggot, get out there on the front lines," he immediately respects your character as a hero and asks for your help. The NPC's all treat your character as the only one they're dealing with, not as another grunt, and the stories are all flexible enough, and focused away from your character enough, to accommodate any background. So the game becomes the story of each character's growth from wherever you started them. A brash and attention-seeking heroine gets mixed up in the lives of everyone from Penelope Yin to Percy Winkley and begins to grow into a more compassionate character who truly wants to help people. A vengeful ghost gradually reconnects with her humanity as she makes friends with her contacts and a newly bonded Warshade tries to find his place in the world and what he truly believes is worth fighting and dying for. All these characters and stories came to life for me because the game's lore made room for all of them, without ever stepping in the way of anyone's motives. The game's population might be huge, and we might be living in a whole city of heroes, but the story always treated your character with respect: the game's story was your character's story, and you always felt like the main character. No other MMO I've seen has even tried to do that, and, once CoH is gone, I'm afraid none others ever will.

We're at lunch now. I'll post more later but I am sharing your thoughts with the team.

If we still have forum access next week the writers and I will do an "ask us anything" about CoH lore. And we mean ANYTHING lore related. If we not know it we'll make it up on the spot.

Black Scorpion farts not to be left out, Mako, thinking everyone's just decided to loosen on formality says 'thank god' out loud and lets out a stinker, followed by Sciorocco who ends the meeting by proving himself worthy of the title "The Desert Wind."

I apologise, $name, but a stray dog stole my only codebook right out of my hand and ran off to the Shadow Shard. I'm somewhat at a loss as to how to proceed, as without it I can't decode that message you showed me.
