I remember this one so well. Worst 2 weeks of my life. 2 minutes of okay defense, 4 minutes of standing around in King's Row waiting for it to recharge.
I remember building my first gimped character.
I remember the massive crowd outside the Galaxy City Hospital as more and more Rikti spawned. I could make the run from the teleporter in the hospital to the front door without having to look at the screen.

I remember this one well. After hardly every dieing in beta, I died more times than I could count that night. I remember the lag and the monsters zoning in, but not moving or attacking, with Heroes chomping at the bit only to get massacred shortly thereafter
I remember when enervating field had damage with it.
I remember being able to solo at level 8 in brickstown with hover and enervating field.

Running into cave missions and thinking "Cool I like this. And saying to my buddy over TS this is neat!"
I remember running all the way out of my missions in outbreak because it never occured to me to hit "mission complete" until someone I was teamed with told me I could.
I remember messing around with the character creator for like 2 hours, between ATs and costumes, before settling on my first character. Ah, the start of a maniacally obsessed alt-a-holic.

I remember making an illusion/kinetic in the pre-order headstart after never seeing a single kinetic and only a few below level 5 illusionists during my entire beta experience...
I remember every time I try to make a hiddeous hero, I get countless compliments on the "cool costume" (these days only a rare few newbies ever bother to even look at (forget compliment on) your costume)
They call me the Super-Genius of Justice for a reason... but they forgot what it was.

I remember the days when beta would end early in the evening and purposely logging off and back on before the servers went down, just to have access to the character generation until the servers came up again the next day.
I remember EncounterVictim!
I remember TODO:ADD_TEXT

I remember keeping that 'will videos be in CoH' topic alive in the old boards for something like two years!

I remember when we rallied and owned that Rikti commander. Over and over and over again. And the Rikti Commander did know debt.

I remember posting screenshots to the board and even demos!
I remember getting the beta invite on a Monday and spending something like 16 hours reading how to play the game. I hit the tutorial for the first time already knowing about how to + enhancements and make macros!
I remember starting the tutorial and not knowing how to make my character change facing so I could turn around.
I remember when single origin enhancements dropped at level 1, and i also remember having to delete them because they were useless to my mutant character becuase they were all natural enhancements. I had to delete them because there was still no place to sell enhancements.
I remember when controllers were great against AVs because they had boss magnitude and could be chain held.
Then when controllers were ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS because of an admitted stealth nerf where our holds weren't useful at all.
Then the final fix which was a red light/green light for holds that isn't all that great (since we're not in melee and can't see the green light indicator) but at least lets controllers do something other than act as weak defenders for an AV fight.
I remember first getting off the tram at Steel canyon by mistake and turning around only to find I couldn't get back on. I went all the way to the green line with my lvl 6 like a scared little girl only to find that that was even worse than where I was, and then going all the way back to find the real entrance to the Yellow line tram.
I remember first getting to Atlas and thinking "Wow, this place is huge!" How the heck am I going to find that liberty person?
I remember my first time running the Synapse TF with all friends who'd never done it before at lvl 12 and spending 2 debt-filled days trying to make it to the back of Boomtown for our mission.
I remember the first time two of us got TP friend and immedietly TP friend fighting "No he's my friend, BWAANG!, no he's mine! BWAANG!".
I remember having to tell half my supergroup how to view the front their character
I remember when I was a complete NOOB to all MMORPGS and didn't know what KS, PL, SK, FF, Artphobia, etc, etc, etc. were.

I remember the first time someone wrongfully accused us of kill-stealing after they had jumped into the fight after us and how mad it made me
I remember when I used to not do anything but work and talk to coworkers at work.
This game is too fun!
