I went through tech support with the NCSoft team about a year ago, for about a week straight we worked on trying to get my machine to run it properly. We finally did, and I will tell you this right now:

NCSoft's tech support are the best tech support folks out there. I've never had a company go so far to help me with the issues I had than these people. They actually contacted and worked with the Nvidia tech people to fix my problem (It turned out a cable wasn't properly plugged, one of those tiny little suckers I missed when assembling my machine). They were incredibly patient, kind, and supportive, and I can only say that I wish every tech support group were as thorough, and engaging as these people. I can't remember the tech's names for the life of me, but I know I was escalated to the senior techs.

If any of you ever have the pleasure of dealing with them, pay them respect and don't get overly frustrated, these people are the kind who will help you to help you - not just because they're paid to.

Thanks again, guys!

If something is really hyped or FOTM I'll avoid it like the plague. Even if it's something I've looked forward to.

I refused to watch any Harry Potter movies until the hysteria died down. Then I of course fell in love with the series.

I was still rocking my pager in 2000, refusing to give in and get a cellphone. Now I can't live without one.

I'll end up avoiding Demons and Dual Pistols for at least 6 months after GR is released.
I still haven't made a Shield toon because its still so shiny.

Does this make me weird?
I think it boils down to me not wanting to be sheeple. I don't wanna be someone doing something just because everyone else is. Even when it's something I might enjoy.
Just can't stand being a clone I guess. So I'll wait and let the newness go away, wait until everyone stops gushing over something, then in the shadows I'll watch it, or I roll one up, and ask myself why I waited.

Anyone else avoid bandwagons like me?

Lord you have no idea, even now it feels like I'm up a creek without a paddle, a cook without a flame, in The Hollows without a travel power.

Dammit, now I gotta go make an alt supergroup:

The Copycats an all-catgirl supergroup with costumes and names themed to mimic the signature heroes. Yeah, it's probably already been- but copying the copy is still totally worth it.

I remember seeing these (well maybe not with the CoH name, but I do think so) in the Philippines a few years ago. In addition to the generic heroes, they had 90% accurate Superman, Batman and Spiderman figures, often boxed together. It was pretty odd.

Restarted again last May during a free weekend then... actually started setting my LFT flag and contacting people who were looking for more. Finding out about global channels and joining teams and task forces. It's pushing a year now since I rejoined and I'm still interested in the game, largely because I'm treating it like a social event rather than a single player game.

If people like playing it solo, that's fine. But I was personally more worried about not knowing "enough" that I'd be a liability in a team or not playing well enough or whatever. I'm glad I finally just took the plunge (which was painless) and regret not having done so way back in the day.
