I would have FOUND the money to still be VIP. I don't care if it means that I'd be that much closer to some financial limit for a few months, I'd have made sure that I could login to every toon on my accounts and backup anything I haven't already got a copy of. Considering Titan's working on something that could automate that, this sucks even more!

The whole "Gold back to White" is a forum error unfortunately. :-/

I know this because it likes to tease me ALOT!

Actually in a way it is! Only it relates to the end of contractual obligations, not the end of a cycle. :-p

Because it's harder to tell Boy Legos from Girl ones? *hugs to keep arms restrained*

Absolutely, Manpower can cost you upwards of 50% expense wise, but without it the you've got a car without a mechanic.

100% THIS as I don't see anything replacing this. If the final nail does keep the coffin closed, then I'll likely never be found in an online game again.

This was one of the few games that had the formula Right for once. It's not an FPS, but if you wanted to spend a day beating crap up, then go for it. It's not a carbon copy of (insert fantasy MMO title) as it's unique enough that Major comic based companies wanted it dead because they knew it would be a serious competitor.

This thing has the most elaborate costume creator I've ever seen and it was only getting better! You didn't even have to finish making a character to save the alternate costumes. We were getting customizations that rivaled the complexity of anything on the market. About the only thing you could say about the CC that was flawed would be the cartooned down quality. IE: The faces looked like toys compared to say Mass Effect, but at the same time, said game was intended to look real in that sense while CoX wasn't aimed that direction.

Almost everything about the CC can be said about the Base/AE editors with the exception that for Bases atleast, there were known human error related flaws that would take an enormous undertaking to rectify. Perhaps that could be part of a rebuild effort?

In my entire lifetime of picking up a toy/game, this is the Only one that I ever felt drawn back into. I'd left twice for a total period of ~3yrs. I'd heard about it being in Beta from friends who were into online gaming back then and even tossed me a trial account or two to test it out when it released. Officially, I started subbing somewhere near i2-i3 (nomatter What the billing thing says). I vaguely remember things like entire new zones, the introduction of HEATs, SGs, eventually Bases, etc. I didn't even have to be a Gamer to play. I could play as casually as I wanted to without some sort of major penalty.

I was able to explore parts of my personality that rarely make their way out because of a lack of proper medium. In fact, each of my toons serves to help me play out different aspects of myself independantly. There's not a chance in hell I'd ever find that IRL let alone in any other game I've ever come across and I've played some weird games before. This game helped me find tallents I'd never considered. In fact, considering I'd been in college most of this same time, I had Professors from my BS degree program tell me that the writing skills I had shown were Masters degree worthy and that they'd fully support it. Funny enough, the only writing I was doing was backgrounds for each toon and a lingering idea that I should actually write them out in the form of a sort of history.

This is one of the few real communities that I've been a part of that I didn't feel like the fly on the wall. I could talk freely (granted, I'm sure that the /gi was probably toggled a few times during any rants) and receive actual thought out responses. This may not seem like a big thing, but take into account that my Home Server has Always been Pinn. :-p

So no, while I will read the many suggestions on places to checkout, I doubt I'll find another worth my time.

I wonder what they'd think if they saw what looked like a group from Comicon walk up with Real edges and scopes?

What? (General Term)You know you were thinking it to! O

I can't even count the number of marrages that have resulted from interaction in this game...Unlike most FPS', it's not a marrage ending sorta game. ;-)

IDK about the paid stuff, but for those of us who have locked toons please unlock them for one last hooora!

As they say, Be careful what you wish for as you just might get it!
