Oh sweet nostalgia!

I remember when "Where can you find Circle of Thorns?" would be broadcast every 5 minutes in King's Row.

I remember when the Vahzilok wasting disease could be a permanent affliction.

I remember 40 being the level cap, and an AR/Dev blaster getting there in a couple of weeks or so.

I remember Behemoths spawning on the streets in King's Row by accident.

I remember when you couldn't choose the destination when you got on the monorail. Instead you had to get off and back on at each stop.

I remember hover-sniping and the mobs didn't scatter and how people considered it an exploit.

For a game less than a year old? That's not nostalgia that's a few weeks ago.

I remember when there was no such thing as the Hollows or the Shadow Shard.

I remember the riot of people trying to get their capes the night I2 came out.

I remember signing on as a tank was a garunteed way to get a team invite in 2 seconds. (Back in the City of Blasters days.)

I remember when Wolves didn't throw rocks, and monkey's weren't psychic.

I remember when people were screaming that the Outcast were overpowered. (Issue 2 release. They were toned down shortly after)

I remember people saying Hammidon was impossible to beat after they increased his Mez Resistance Magnitude.

I remember people saying Hammidon was impossible to beat after the 300' toggle change. (I'm sensing a pattern here.)

I remember the 5th Column.

For any other MMO I would be inclined to agree, but CoH has evolved so much since it's launch we can be nostalgic.

I remember the deafening sound of Combat Jumping.

I remember when they did the Rikti Invasion at the end of Beta.

I remember the little snafu from EB games where they wouldn't send me my game from my pre-order so I bought a serial Key online instead.

I remember when Ar/Dev blasters were the most powerful characters in the game.

I remember when level 40 was the top security level.

I remember when no one wanted to group with a Invuln/Super Strength Tanker - people only wanted Fire Tanks with Provoke.

I remember when capes were first made available.

I remember getting my first travel power.

Most of all I remember that through out all the changes that have been made to this game, it is still my favorite MMORPG out there.

I remember there not being any mark for the Tram on the Map and having to run aimlessly throuout the city hoping to stumble apon it.

I remember running up the fireescapes to rooftops before I had my travel power, just to get those damn CoTs

I remember watching a "High Level" hero hover by me as I stared in amazment.

I remember the huge "Power 10 Enhancement" and "Earning Capes" threads and how massive they got.

I remember Aura sending out beta invites and half the people screaming YAY and half saying $&#%$@

I remember my first post- "How do I get a beta invite?"

I remember talking about SG bases- back in Issue 1

I remember when SR was bleh way back pre-issue 1

I remember hunting the sewers from 36-49 (right before Issue 1) and meeting alot of the friends I still talk to this day.

I remember the first time Issue 1 was on test, went to Peregrine Island and was shocked when I found level 50 Malta. Needless to say, I died to them many times

I remember right before Issue 1 hit test, I parked my character near the Rikti Crash Site entrance at level 38, only to find out when it hit Test that it was level 40 to enter

I remember the purple patch cries of people leaving

I remember when lvl36+ Crey spawned near Mark IV in Founder's Falls *still shudders at the many deaths to them*

I remember when I heard about how Hamidon could be 1 shotted by a scrapper due to a debuff bug with Freezing Rain (pre-issue 1 Hamidon, or as I call it, Gimp Hamidon)

I remember that night in pre-order beta when the comtaminated never came...we waited and waited and waited, but they just never came.

I remember that night I was overjoyed to find two of them and finally get that done with, and also the shock which followed as I moved to the next contact...

I remember saying I would play the underdog and rolled as a Regen...

I remember that guy who hit 40 two weeks after release, and the mass of AR/Devs which came soon after..

I remember the first time I hit Atlas Park, like a kid in a candy store...

Good one. I forgot about that until now. Oh the disappointment everytime a wave of invites went out and I still wasn't one of them! Oh the joy when I finally was!

I remember when I turned on IH and Integration and all I saw was a couple feet and the top of my head.

I remember when people used to actually stay for the whole TF.

I remember when we were all noobs and didn't know what the "best" build was.

I remember...what were we talking about again?

I remember people saying I was Nerfed, Nerfed and Nerfed again when realy all they have done is improve Stone Armor/Stone Melee.

I remember stone being called a fake tank, or a flavor powerset that was only added so Inv wasn't the only choice. by a lot of mad SS/Inv tanks

I remember taking a screenshot of my character flying towards the sky right before the beta server (it was called prime, right?) shut down

I remember when blasters were wanted in teams

I remember when regen was the worst powerset in the game

I remember getting into the preorder beta at 6pm on the last day, and waiting 4 hours for the game to download.

I remember playing until 3 in the morning right after the game finished downloading.

I remember the pure amazement after launch when they had only minor issues.

I remember when mapserve disconnects were so bad I almost gave up on the game.

I remember the relief I felt when an early patch fixed the major mapserver problems.

This is my absolute favorite game now, and I anticipate it will remain so for a very long time.

I remeber when Faultline was the accepted place to lvl.....

I don't remember this. What was that all about?

I remember hearing tales of Fire tanks herding Devouring Swarms in The Hive back when they gave minion XP.

I also remember when Devouring Swarms in The Hive were "heat seeking death missiles" and aggro'd on you about 10-20 seconds or sooner after steeping foot into the Hive.

I remember when everything in the game was new.

I remember getting lost in most zones.

I remember feeling like a hero the first few times you heard the music around the Atlas Statue and Ms. Liberty.

I remember when the Green line was a scary thing.

I remember the first time I saw Freaks(not the SG on Liberty) in talos.

I remember the first time I saw a tank herd 10 mobs(That was HUGE then)

I remember when the Sewers in the south of AP was considered the hunting grounds of the high lvls.. Those around lvls 5-10.

I remember when a lvl 39 friend asked me to join him in the Abandoned Sewers. Of course I didn't know where they were and he told me "It's a secret place, hardly anyone knows about it."
