...I remember the first time I went to Portal Corp and tried to jump into the portal, only to have nothing happen and realize I had to click it to get it. (So much less dramatic)

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.

LoL....Nice one! That was a long time ago. You guys remember when you had to go through the Tutorial with EVERY alt you made?

Actually you guys sponsored a contest to see how fast the Tutorial could be done.
I remember my first ambush. The three man team had split up to do....something, I can't remember exactly what. I was the first one to get hit, and promptly ended up eating pavement as the four crossbows hit me followed by a rain of Vahz vomit. Then I remember coordinating with the rest of the team and getting revenge.
I remember seeing Babbage tower over our party as we exited a mission in the Synapse Task Force, and thinking how cool it was.
I remember discovering Paragon Radio when I heard that Statesman was going to be giving a live interview on it.
I remember the first time I heard the Blyde Square music, stopping to listen to the full tune, then reentering the zone a few times to keep listening to it.
I remember the first time someone told me that I was completely gimped for being an Empath, and even more so for having Electric as a secondary.
And then, 15 levels later, having that same person tell me I was the best Empath they'd ever teamed with, because of the Electric secondary.
I remember the endless threads about how bad the CoH comic was.
I remember thinking that Fortitude was a lousy power, since you couldn't enhance the damage boost.
I remember being convinced that travel powers were nothing more than a luxury, and that I'd be better off just using Sprint to get where I needed to go.
I remember running the Dr. Vahzilok mission roughly a dozen times in the same week because everyone I knew had that mission, and really wanted my Empath along for the ride.
I remember finally getting that mission myself, and having to wait a week to do it, because everyone was sick and tired of the guy at that point.
I remember running through Perez Park, and never having to worry about dying, because other heroes would always come along and finish off whatever I was attacking.
I remember not having badges.
I remember the endless protests about capes not being around at the start, and then when they finally did get here, the protests about how lackluster they were.
BETA RIKTI INVASION VIDEO!!!!!

I remember when you could find the Family in Steel Canyon.
I remember when I first saw a level 20-something Devouring Earth Tree of Life in King's Row and was afraid it would one shot me if I went near it.
I remember wacking at the diabled Rikti Drones in the training zone and wondering how long it takes to actually kill one.
I remember slotting Sprint with Running, Jumping AND Reduce Endurance enhancements thinking it would work well.
I remember creating The People's Slacker - a Claws/Regen Scrapper - and my friends asking me "So, now that you've learned how to play the game, are you going to create a REAL hero?" I still play Slacker as my main... and now he's teh uber!
I remember when Task Forces were easy to find a full team for.
I also remember when said TFs had multiple teams starting at every TF contact.
I remember my first TF, Synapse. I remember my leaders, Homer The Grump and Marge the Frump. I remember that it was a flawless TF and no one died. (Side memory: I remember seeing Homer and Marge when I first came out of Outbreak into Atlas Park at Ms. Liberty. They were both level 2s at the time also, so I found it odd that the first characters I remembered EVER were my first TF leaders. I wonder if they still play, as they are on my friends list and I never see them on.)
I remember the day Issue 2 went live. I remember the huge dance party outside of Icon in Steel Canyon and LMAO when 20-40 lvl ambushes began to attack their targets as they left Icon, leaving a pile of Level 2 - 20 heroes on the street.
I remember when the Paragon Dance Party was a nice shortcut from the Yellow Line in SC to Talos. Now, it's been ages since I've seen more than 2 more in there for ANY reason. (It really should be moved back. Shortcut or not, now it's a complete waste.)
I remember loving the Halloween event and how I would go from door to door thinking "it must be random" when you would actually get tricks or treats. This before learning it was a minute between each.
I remember hating the Rularuu invasion and how it killed me 3 times when I was simply trying to talk to my contact. Such hostile creatures!
I remember when the Ch. 9 Weatherman (my friend's main) finally reached 14 and he got superjump.
I remember the same night, I was first side-kicked by Ch. 9 and was shown Steel Canyon for the first time. I miss teaming with Ch. 9 and Darkcast. I blame you, Worlds of Warcraft!!! You are to blame for the death of our supergroup!
I remember lots of bugs while I zone. Like first, it seems to zone me somewhere besides the entrance, then I try to run and it finally puts me where I'm supposed to be. Then I have invisible enemies and must exit and return to fix it. And then, I get a message saying "Invalid command KickedByGameLogin" then "Invalid Command Diconnect".
Oh wait, I still get those! (the latter just recently) Please fix these soon, as they drive me up the wall!
And to change things up a bit: I can't wait for exemplaring to be fixed so I can do missed TFs and Trials. I refuse do it right now, as I've only been kicked or my exemplaree has lost connection and left me to be kicked from the group. This must have some better way, and I don't think we have to wait until flashback. Just maybe make a way to remain exemplared for the remainder of the TF. You stay teamed until you click "quit" on normal ones (regardless of disconnect) and that acts different than normal teams... so make it so!
I'm sure I have more memories, but I'm getting a bit of amnesia.
I remember getting tells about how odd my ma/regen combo was.
I remember my first encounter with lvl 50 chars as a lvl 15 in the hollows. I was so happy to help them get the Cavern of Transcendence badge only to find out it wasn't working at the time.
I remember the cape mission being like a right of passage. I was actually proud to wear my cape.
I remember when none of the "Arrest X" missions would count down.
I remember the Testmasters
I remember when the devs mass-spawned Hellions in Atlas Park
I remember all the corpses at the end of beta Hamidon raid.

I remember following one of the devs (It was Positron I cant remember what his name was in game though) around when he was testing the Ritki Motherships in all the zones
I remember the orange and black forums
I remember the first time I went into the Hollows and thought, "Man this place looks cool."
Only to be disappointed when Flux was way in the NW corner of the Hollows by that warehouse surrounded by like 750 million trolls.
And when Julius was down on the bank of the Red River surrounded by like 750 million trolls.
And the first time I got invited to do the Atta mish and walked in to a map with like ... you guessed it, 750 million trolls 
And now I avoid the Hollows like the plague unless I'm just street sweeping, or have my ATP.
On a side note, I remember the first time I did the Hess TF in Striga ("omg! It's like 300 ft tall!!!") Kudos to the Devs on Striga
Complaints that Hold/Immobilize would screw up knockbacks.
"Power leveling" did not imply cheating.
I remember when Marrow Snap was far and away the most dangerous Boss up into your early teens.
I remember when a missed TP meant a rollercoaster ride over half the zone if you didn't just give up and drop when you started to fall.
I remember when my contacts in PI always had a Ricti fan club right next to them.
I remember deleting characters at lvl 20+ because of poor power pics.
I remember the long, painful climb to 28 to get Instant Healing without Dull Pain or Reconstruction, because I couldn't fit them into my final build.
I remember people asking me "Why are you dying so much?" in the Synapse TF...and the same people asking me "Why aren't you dying?" in the Manticore TF
I remember the first time a 5th LT turned into a wolf...I about jumped out of my skin.
I remember the first time a Freak tank got...right...back...up after laying him out cold.
I remember the first time I was ambushed by Tsoo...while I was in the enhancements screen in front of my contact.
I remember being rez'd right in front of those same Tsoo seconds later by a wandering empath. And both of us ending up in the hospital.
And as been stated before, I too remember walking up to a Tsoo sorcerer and asking him if he wanted to team.

I remember when the City of Hero's web site was first put up.

i remember when i first logged in and almost had a heart attack of joy! 
I remember when exiting the hospital was as easy as clicking on the the device which revived you. (I'm still sore they "fixed" that . . .)
I remember getting my first exploration badge and saying "huh?"
I remember learning how to scale buildings with a regular jump by using the windows.
It was because the spawns during the tutorial were broken, and there were no enemies to defeat. I spent almost an hour trying to jump outside of the map area to where I could see mob's.

I remember when it was easier to escape an Archvillain's death-grip than it was to simply leave the hospital (think hourglass icon).
I remember when Positron didn't look like Tron.
I remember when the flag atop City Hall would be shrouded in darkness at night.

Oh for thoses non-tron days....*tear*
I remember the first server event was in beta when these crazy cool looking aliens TPed in. ("are those called Rikies?")
I remember seeing Rikti port in clumps as friendlies and not moving for 20 minutes, but boy did we read a lot of newspapers (emote).
I remember people in the middle of those clumps of Rikti at -10 levels or more, convinced their AoE "was going to own them" when they were activated as bad guys.
I remember being level 4 at that server event and in Team chat saying "hey I think I got the killing blow on that one". (all bad guys were level 20 to 40)
I remember seeing a very crowded hospital.
I remembered realizing I was gonna buy that game.
I remember...
When the Numina's Task Force was a level 35 minimum, but getting into Eden (for the last 2 or 3 missions) was a level 36+ hazard zone.
When one of the door missions in Numina's task force always spawned a level 42 DE boss.
Seeing my first Rikti (level 36) and I was level 12. That was the most afraid I've ever been in the game.
Grouping with other heroes for the first time, watching all our powers fly simutaneously, and thinking, "This is the best game ever."
I remember when I first found my Zeus Mech in a Booster Pack!
...No wait, that was Mechwarrior: Dark Age. Never mind.
I remember Tick Dracy. Now, THAT was a great costume.

I remember being sad when beta ended and then the game cost money.
I remember abandoning my first character (a fire tank) because I couldn't move well enough to catch mobs.
I remember When I got my first Nostromo and I could superleap in a circle landing right on the other side of a distant mob, having spun to face it during the leap.
I remember the first time I leapt of into the horizon after somebody activated inertial reduction.
I remember seeing Positron on test before I2.
I remember when there were people in the clubs.
I remember when everyone asked my Kinetic was a healer - no, wait, they still do .
