Any hero that has the one year anniversary badge and logs in during the next anniversary event will receive a special gladiator badge.
[/ QUOTE ]
Wait, so there's only a reward if you were around last year? Or will newer characters at least get a badge similar to Celebrant for the 2nd anniversary?
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, newer characters will get an Anniversary badge.
The gladiator is for having BOTH Anniversary badges.
[/ QUOTE ]
What!! No hints at what it could be!!!

It's The Count from Sesame Street. He just stands there and says "One! Two! TWO years of being a CoX member! Ha ha ha!!!"

Interesting indeed.
My only question is...
What will villains be doing during the anniversary?
Will they get their anniversary during CoH release or CoV release (obviously CoV, but still)?
And what will heroes do during CoV release?
Will CoV'ers get Anniversary badges?
Will CoV'ers get Gladiators that are associated with these badges?
Most important:
Will heroes who are here for Year 2 and Year 3 get the Gladiator, or only Year 1 and Year 2?

Although I don't care for gladiators at all, a Gunslinger would be nice.
I think the best would be a Pikachu, just to symbolize where the ideas of Gladiators actually came from.

5th Column Mek Man
[/ QUOTE ]
That would be awesome! He is after all the most beloved glitch in the game.
[/ QUOTE ]
Poor little Mek Men. Vandal comes up with a new model and suddenly they're relegated to filing papers and gesturing at the Warburg helicopter.
I want a Raserai Ubermenschen Unteroffizier. Just because it always amused me to see all that crammed into the target window.
thats true lucas, civies are the only thing that neither a hero nor a villain can defeat. They just walk right through everything they throw at them.
I also vote 5th Column Mek Man, in the hopes that player input will influence your decision. What better way to celebrate two years with CoX than with the longest standing bug in the game? 
Hey, we kid because we love. It's such a dumb, harmless bug, it's not really worth the time spent hunting it down, but that makes it no less funny every time it happens.

Wait, year 3?
Edit: Oh I think I get it... you mean for guys that are here NEXT year.
So, is there a transcript of the interview anywhere?!
I really want to know what was said, but I wasn't able to listen to it. Or could someone at least go over the info that was discussed?

I wouldn't doubt them doing it. And I wouldn't doubt the Gladiator badge description being "Another Mek Man? These things show up all over the place for almost no reason..."
It'd be like the plaque in King's Row memorializing one of the first big easter egg bugs the game had.

It's either gonna be 5th Column or Winter Lord! Or something to make us old timers from launch shed a tear.
The 5th Column Mek Man has got my vote.
That means you could have the 5th column mek-man Vs. the Zenith mech MkI. 5TH/COUNCIL WARS ALL OVER AGAIN! wheeee!

And I miss it because I didn't have a 3d capable computer until July of last year. *sigh* I really wanted to be in this game since the beta, but money didn't allow for it. Such a shame.
Heroes created in April/May 2004 as well as being around last anniversary and this one should get something extra extra special too!

I think efor those of us who have all the Halloween badges from 04. We should get an Accolade that lets us finally use those rubber-bats that never got used but are still implimented (along with the fake vomit)
That special enough for ya?

Help out a neophyte here (dove in July of 2005): Explain the Mek Man bug, please?
