I read over all the expansions/issues since I was out of the game. I like the way the game is evolving. I'll have to get used to watching the channels in-game. So much trolling in other games on chats that using one to find the action will take some getting used to. I'll take a look at the Pinnacle one first and give it a fair shake before I decide to look into what I've created on the Freedom server. I have toons everywhere, but I think my only two level 50s reside on Pinnacle.

Back in the day, I used to love to walk into impossible situations, with really poor groups and turn on my Defender skill to make a group win, no matter what architypes populating it. It may take some time for that to come back. I'm just happy to be back involved in a game that doesn't have serious issues in playability or interest with those who have stuck around.

Thanks for the information all!

Time to crack open some newbie guide on the material or interface that's matured since I was last in-game. Global Channels...hmmm.

Yeah I was surprised that my questions had not already been folded up in some derailed troll thread. However, there is still time for someone to try and rain on my parade. No concerns, still plenty of decent folks in CoX.

Is there cross server instancing now? I mean...if my old turf; Pinacle is dead during my play time should I consider moving my level 50s to another server, or start over on another server? I assume that the whole reason behind Global Channels has got to do with playing in instances with people not on your own server?? Otherwise seems kind of pointless...unless their recruiting you to come to their server.

Ok...ummm CoX? Is that the new term for CoH/CoV combined? I just started a new toon. Although I have two level 50s on Pinacle, I felt like an idiot to try and play them right away. I mean, if I did find a team they'd be pretty upset to find a lvl50 defender who had trouble remembering what key to press for simple replies.

I played when there were teleporters in the guilds/bases. I think I remember clubs around towns with teleportation capabilities too. However, that's about it for my knowledge. Global channels...hmm I'm guessing that's just the chat feature...perhaps a channel I need to join?

I played Warhammer Online for a while; but it died about a year after open for me. What a dissapointment. Aion...well it just wasn't the grind I wanted. I played DAoC for many years; loved it. For some reason, the team play in this game and the foes; despite my loathing of those idiotic cave maps, is the only game I can tolerate PvE over PvP. Most people aren't jerks and the game seems to really have a nice balance for team building.

I bought the rogue expansion and look forward in finding a good team to migrate into. I still feel like a total newb with all the new stuff in the system and the keyboard mapping I have long forgotten.

I've been gone for over two years. I have always been fond of the game and came back to find it nearly empty no matter where I go. Is this because of Champions Online? I've played that recently too, but quite frankly found it hard to really "Make" the class I really wanted; a defender equal. The grind in Champions is also a tad boring for me. I love the instances in CoH/CoV; I just wish the end game had more well....population and PvP potential.

Anyway...I've been away, so I have a lot of catching up before I'm critical of much...but people who play...well that's just the biggest reason I liked CoH.
