And in Perez Park. Yeah, I remember that too. Freaked me out the first time I saw a hoard of them running through the streets. Any idea why they were pushed back by 30 levels?

I remember the first time ambushes were installed- and my lines to the team "WHERED THEY COME FROM??? WWWWWWWWWWWWWW"
I remember the beggining of the Rikiti Invasion and people spreading rumors-
1. If you stay under the Rikiti Ship, it will blow you up, Independance Day style
2. The ship IS the Rikiti Invasion (since it took 30 minutes for some guys to finally show)
3. We are all gonna die (at least this one came true)
I remember the days where killing Hellions was cooler than killing SKULS

I remember cursing the lamentable power "Resist Disorientation" that was in the Regen beta set.
I remember when they were still working out the villian spawns, which resulted in fun times suchs as being unable to find hellions *anywhere* in Atlas, then suddenlly being surrounded by hundreds of them, or Perez becoming unnavigable because of the massive lag of there literally being multiple *thousands* of villians in it at one time.
A question for the really oldbies, if they'd indulge me: what were the power sets like before archetypes? and what powers were in the blaster melee sets?

Lots of great memories here .
I remember spending 24 hours killing hydras so that me and all my friends could reach level 14 before the 3 day head start ended.

this is a long one.. funny story though
I remember when the Rikti invaded. They had recently wiped the servers and most characters were not above the 20-24 level area. So in every zone the rikti were invading, and no one was in Talos to kill them (they were too high level). So all these heroes got together and invaded Talos island. hordes of level 16-22 heroes trying to take out level 30 Rikti. Then, of course, here comes a dev playing the part of the Rikti commander.. he starts talking smack in RP and some of us start the RP smack talking right back. Finally we find him and everyone RUNS to the hospital where he and some minions are killing everyone. We take out the minions.. and then here we are, about 30 heroes crowded around this commander, firing off everything we have.. no NONE of us are hitting. This fight took a good 45 minutes. We actually never really hit him.. he had to lower his health for us in increments to make it look like we were actually doing damage. Funniest part was when he would cast mass hypnosis, and hit EVERYONE. Seriously.. we would all be standing around "rofling" cause everyone would be sleeping. Finally.. he killed himself.. and of course someone just HAD to see if ressurect would work on him... it did. 45 minutes later.. after another round of mass hynosising and "whiffing" he killed himself again and left before he could be ressurected . I used to have a bunch of great screenshots of this but they got deleted when I wiped my computer a while back.. dang it.

Haha, I remember when all my in-game friends at the time that I was bat-$^!& mental for nuking my main toon at 27th... I was (I like to think) a damned good heavily defensive tank that could tank +5s or more... without all my SOs yet in place.

[/ QUOTE ]
the power sets before arch-types is something even I wouldnt know. thats something only the dev's and internal alpha testers could answer.
the powers in the blaster melee set were the exact same ones in the tanker secondary set (minus mace, axe, and super strength)

I remember when perez park was connected to kings row.

......but now its more like a musuem
here are some things from the Faq some oldbies might remember
[ QUOTE ]
Q.How can Super Intelligence be used? How would my character be different with it, than without it?
A.Super Intelligence will be very advantageous for skill-based heroes—those that use a lot of items. They will be able to figure out and use their skills more quickly and effectively.
[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Q.How many powers can I have?
A.The number of powers you can have depends on the origin you choose but the range is between 3 and 8.
[/ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
Q.So what are skills then?
A.Skills are used to successfully attack and inflict damage with a power, or perform non-combat operations such as lock picking and bomb disarming.

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.

Possibly 4 times.
I remember putting recharge speed into every attack, even those that very already very fast. I also remember the behemoths in kings row, thought that was a part of a story line, but maybe not. And those constantly exploding mages, aaah!! I remember not undestanding the differense between defense and resists
