I remember when I discovered about CoH, in the Wizard guide to comics, was it in September 2001 ? I rushed to register on the forum, was one of the top ten posters for a time, then quit for almost three years and got the beta invite.
I remember when Scrappers were gimp.
I remember the first time I was shown where the tram was.
I remember the first dance party when boomboxes were introduced
I remember when Glowies made no sound.
I remember triple instanced Atlas Park Every night!
I remember Wolves in Brickstown.
I remember the first time I used teleport and wondering if it was broken
I remember when nobody wanted a Dark/Dark Defender.
Oh wait. They still don't understand us...

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

Oh man, I can't remember. If I had to guess it was over him saying Hasten was "working as intended" in Beta, but then changing it in live. I may be wrong though.
I remember being a tank in Perez at lvl 7 and rezzing right in the middle of a group of bad guys thinking they'd give me a chance to heal.
I remember the Rularuu invasion where unlike the WL event, heroes of all lvls were fighting side by side united against a common enemy, where the word killstealer meant little or nothing.
I remember being one of the first in my group of friends to get invited to beta.
I remember struggling to make 14 in four or five weeks in beta so I could get a travel power before launch, and failing.
I remember making my first character... and then a second and third and so on, ad infinitum.
I remember reserving my favorite name on three servers and having my SG pick an entirely different server, and not getting said name on that server.
I remember the shakes over the three days of blackout before launch, wondering if my pre-order would actually be there in time.

Hehe, during the Rularuu invasion some jerk claimed I was stealing all his Rularuu because I attacked a group close to the one he was fighting and sent me a nasty tell about how he was petitioning me for Kill stealing. Still waiting for that GM to show up.

Ha ha ha, that made me LOL! Nice one.
I remember the huge mob at Icon's when Issue 2 went live, and everybody was getting their capes.
I remember thinking how amazing the capes were. Oh wait, that was just yesterday.
I remember signing on the first day, building my first hero (which I still have), while my buddy called me on the phone constantly, "Are you done yet? COME ON!" causing me to make some costume mistakes (yellow skin?) that I had to live with until Issue 2.
I remember seeing my first Devouring Earth Fungi emanator in Steel Canyon and marveling at it. It was level 30 and none of us level 15s could hit it.
I remember hitting all the zones for the first time, spending time both taking in the sights and being scared of the high level mobs I was carefully avoiding.
What I don't remember is what I did before CoH came out...

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I remember London. I do not remember missing him yet, however.
I remember the Ascendant craze 
- going to see those posts at the behest of a friend was my first foray into the forums. Been stuck doing at least a quick lurk pretty much every day since

Same here. You can add Vegetator to that list as well.

Is it bad that I miss him?
I also remember Naginata, and how he got banned when they implemented the "You must have an active account" thing.

I see London, I hear Rants, Smoke Grenade ain't got a chance....
Oh, and my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I believe Diva's rant was as a result of either the Purple Patch or Provoke Change
I remember when it was hard to find CoT's and Lost in King's Row without having a travel power and without risking being ks'ed by or ks'ing another player.
I remember the first time I encountered a Tree of Life. It was in King's Row (the remnants of a battle). About 30 folks came of pondering "Should we attack it? What do you think it will do?"

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.

You can thank me and the other people who petitioned that all trainers be more visible.
I remember not even being able to *see* her when I first started playing. I was such a noob going "Where do I train" when I was only thirty feet away.
Still here, even after all this time!
