Long ago he who shone forth light prophesied the coming of new forums, and behold the day of prophecy is upon us!
Welcome to our new home here on the web, we hope you enjoy the remodel! There are a bunch of new features we hope you enjoy and use, and in general the forums should be a much nicer place overall. We’ve added such features as Visitor Messaging, Calendars, and Social Networking, and we’ve been reunited with our global CoH playing brethren as the North American and European forums have merged into one big happy family.
While we have done our best to make this transition as painless as possible please understand that no project this large can be done without some sacrifices. One of the most noticeable changes is that all links to prior posts will not be functional, so make sure to use the much improved new search function when looking for specific posts or threads. Also, some of you may have noticed either a _EU or _NA appended to your names. Rest assured this is not a permanent feature but only for the interim. We will announce further details of how we plan to resolve the naming conflicts in the near future.
Welcome back, and thanks for your patience!

This is really nothing to be wary of. With the fusion of the forums, the English-speaking communities will get more Community Representatives looking after them (my two North-American colleagues and me)

I for one am definitely looking forward to being able to meet all of you! Although I lurk on these forums I have yet to really manage to interact with more than a handful of you.
We definitely understand the feelings of community that the EU players have and are considering a number of ideas on how to preserve that feeling of community while at the same time increasing the global community of CoH players irregardless of region.
Honestly this is one of the most exciting things for me currently going on, although I too can't wait for blue fire imps and Going Rogue. But more players are more chances for friendship and the additional perspective of you, our European compatriots, is something I personally can't wait for.
That and teasing any players from Glasgow. -

I think LOLmace carries a -4 threat level adjustment, correct ?

Are you mocking the powers of the banhammer? -
Just wanna say thanks one more time for letting me tag along!
Had a great time and despite my slight tendency to hug the ground at any and all opportunities I had a blast. Teamwork is definitely key on this one and by the end we were moving through things smoothly.
I'll never again refer to Triumph as "Oh... THAT server"
Had a blast, let me know when you guys are doing another player auction! -

I feel like Praetoria will be the only mixing zone for existing toons.
[/ QUOTE ]
While I won't comment on the mechanics, I assure you that existing characters will be able to "Go Rogue". I fully plan on running opposite faction content on my existing characters. -
Welcome to the game!
I also would like to re-iterate the advice about finding global channels for your server. Global channels tend to be much more active areas for conversation, and can get you involved in a much larger number of fun grouping activities faster than just about any other method.
Enjoy! -

I will be in shock if a redname has actually done a SF/TF
[/ QUOTE ]
My first TF was posi on a Level 10 back in '04.
My last SF was a Barracuda run with Posi, War Witch, Synapse, and Castle.
I can't wait to see what fun I get to participate in. -

Favorite villain hero side: Doc V. Mad scientist creating armies of techno zombies. I so wish that faction was 1-54.
Favorite villain villain side: Black Scorpion. Mostly because I think he looks sweet, and I have tail envy. Now there is a costume part I would love to see added. -
We'll definitely be there.

In the ScoopLast week, as I left the Arachnos Bookstore in St. Martial with my just purchased book, "Lord Recluses' Biggest Conquest" by Arbiter Reins; I saw a crowd of people gathered outside of the "Tarty Toon Gallery" peering into the windows at whatever was going on inside the gallery. I shimmied my way in-between the tightly gathered crowd and peered into the window. To my surprise, I saw Tartyrsause himself! He was working on a fabulous piece for everyone outside to watch. I hustled inside the gallery and peered around the corner where I saw Tartyrsause completely engrossed in his work. He looked up at me with a smile and waved for me to come over for a better look. I walked over and saw the nearly finished sketch of Pretty Little Zoe. I introduced myself and asked him if I might conduct an impromptu interview for the City Scoop Art section. Tartyrsause agreed, but only if I called him Tarty. I smiled and asked Tarty how long he had been a member of the CoX family. He thought for a moment and said "Well, I live on Freedom, which is rude and loud just like a real city. I just got my boxing gloves vet set; dunno what that makes me." I asked Tarty how long he had been an artist - he thought for a moment and then grinned as he replied, "I'm gonna say at age ten; prior to that the finger paints and crayons don't count." We both chuckled and then he said, "My first creation was a black and white tiger picture done on blue art paper (that's French for 'the most expensive paper type'). I used only white and black chalk for it, covering up the blue paper with nothing but black and white chalk. You would never know the color of the paper it was on unless you saw it from the back. After that, I remember drawing complex pencil sketches in class which was a big thing for me. However, I drew them ON my desk. Dunno why. Eventually, though, I would get to the point of drawing on paper." | As I looked about the gallery, Tarty watched me and spoke up when I saw an interesting piece hanging on the wall. Tarty proudly shared with me information about Thor's Assassin, "This image of Thor's Assassin was pretty much my starting point. The one over here I just finished, The Birth of Drunken Avenger," he said as we walked over to the piece hanging on the other wall. I asked Tarty where he gets his inspiration and if he does commissions. "I get my inspirations from anime, comic books and movies that are about anime and comic books. As for commissions, I eventually will, but I don't think I'm up to it at this time. I still feel I need to find a finalized, personalized STYLE of drawing that I can call my own." I do believe that I had taken up enough of Tarty's time, after all, the crowd outside was anxiously waiting for him to get back to the piece he had been working on before I interrupted him. I asked Tarty if there was anything he wished to share with his fans and the readers of the City Scoop. Tarty took his time as he twirled a paint brush in his fingers, and said "I find it a real pleasure to make art for people's characters in the game. After all, these people have spent hours, days, weeks, perhaps even years playing that character and building personal bios and histories, etc. To be able to capture the persona of their character in an artistic form that they can hold onto and call their own for, well, forever, is something I'm very happy and honored to do." Tarty went on to say, "I'm still starting out, but my main goal is to hone my own style of drawing and create vivid, amazing artwork for all the fans of the City of Heroes." As I thanked Tarty and bid farewell, he said, "The City Scoop may use any of my pieces that it likes, so long as I get an email about it so I don't miss out on anything." With that, I waved to Tarty as I slipped back into the crowd that was still watching through the big glass windows.
