The Masked Shrike

I always thought that I would be here 'til the lights went out, but recently I've been struggling to feel that way. I've decided to wait until the promised solo/small team Incarnate path announcement to make my decision as to what I'll do.

They did such great work on this map. I really wish it had been duplicated as a Halloween zone, like the ski chalet. Then we could all wander around it at our leisure, chat with the NPCs, and generally have fun with it. It's far too fabulous to be locked behind a mission.

Congratulations and best wishes to you both! This warms my heart.

It's amazing how what some perceive as 'silly games' can bring people together and change lives.

Congratulations! May you both have many years of fun and happiness in Paragon City (and outside too). I love seeing couples and families who game together. It warms my curmudgeonly little heart.

In January I married my favorite hero ever, and I met him right here in CoH. I have a lot of issues with the game these days, but I know we'll still be playing here together for a long time to come.

Happy birthday! Hope you get lots of good stuff!

Ha! The plant is awesome. That is too clever by half.

Speaking as a lucky doll owner, I can attest that my doll has not tried to kill me, nor has it done any evil stuff (that I know of). I highly recommend these dolls to anyone considering commissioning one! I love mine, she's sitting right here by the computer.

I would happily pay for a booster pack containing these costume parts.

I have purchased all of the booster packs. A previous poster asked if purchasers would mind seeing in-game paths for unlocking those booster items. I would not mind that one bit. The more inclusive, the better, as far as I'm concerned.

City of Heroes was my first MMO. As a minty fresh newbie, I often found myself running around with a group of folks, and then one would say something like "Wait a sec, bio break."

I thought, "Wow, these are some dedicated roleplayers! They're stopping in the middle of a mission to write updates to their character biographies."

Yeah. I know.

Trailer was great. Music also great, but a bit too late period for the theme. Still a fun trailer. Cannot wait to get those hairstyles!

I missed the first couple of years, but I got here as soon as I could. I'll be here 'til the lights go out. Thank you guys for all you've done--I've gotten far more out of this game than I ever put into it. Congratulations on seven super years!

To Proud Citizen:
Darling, from the day I first met you at the Golden Age Festival, to the time you finally asked me out over a pile of Rikti as we infiltrated that secret base, until the day you proposed in timeless Ouroboros, I knew I'd never fight alone. You're always at my side, no matter what comes our way. No one could be more loyal, or brave, or honest. Sterling work, sweetie!

It's pretty swell that those Real People who tell us what to do fell in love, too. They owe us big!

Yours always,
PinUp Girl

Woot! Grats, VexXxa! You will rock that particular house.

I'm humbly thankful for this game, which has made it possible for me to stop being a spinster. Thanks to the devs, the folks on Virtue and Victory, the Golden Age Heroes, the Golden Age Festival, and the nice CoHers who posted good wishes on our wedding site.

Whatever feuds, snafus and hiccups may happen here, this is a great place full of excellent people.

Happy birthday, CR. Hope you had a good one!

I loathe TFs and prefer to solo or duo, so this is of zero interest to me. However, I think it will be great for the game in general, so I feel it was a good addition.

Wow, fabulous costume and great art--love the sense of movement. Congrats on the title to Desert Owl, too!

Ten here. I would love this very much.

CoH was my first MMORPG. I'm very glad that it was. In some ways, it's spoiled me for other games.

I can easily enjoy my preferred playstyle here. I can solo. I can duo. Maybe team up with a couple of friends once in a while. I can RP when I feel like it. I'm easily able to ignore parts of the game that don't interest me (crafting, marketeering, PvP, CoV). It's casual-friendly, and therefore, still fun for me.

I like making characters and seeing them come to life. I'm very fond of the characters I've made here. The costume creator is fun all on its own. I love to come up with a concept and make it happen.

I've met some amazing people here. I'll soon be marrying one of them. A couple of the friends I made here will be attending the wedding (and flying across the Pacific to do so). The folks I have had the pleasure of meeting in CoH are generous, kind, and most of all, good people.

For these reasons, though my playtime here waxes and wanes, I'll be maintaining my sub until the servers go dark.

Grats on 50--she definitely got there in the end.

These are some amazing new additions to your gallery. Rhardo's work has just been getting better and better. The works from Andantonius are simply wow. Really digging the green-ness of Fenian's portrait. Luminous.

Amazing pieces as always, Kat! The colors are particularly striking, I agree. I also really like the light and shadow. Can't wait to see what's next in line.

Both of these have such a cool, classic pulp-fantasy vibe, I love it. I can see her hanging out with Conan or Dejah Thoris. Hope to see more soon!

Wow! That is gorgeous. I love the wings. Fantastic details, too. Just beautiful all the way around.

Thank you so much! What a nifty surprise. I really like that vibrant green.

Love the spontaneous, chaotic quality of the linework--seems to say a lot about the character. Welcome to the wonderful world of art collecting!

Option 2. I always prefer more choice, whether it means cluttered menus or clipping. I'd rather deal with some inconvenience than lose options.
