Whew...managed to plow through those pages.
Anyrate, great to have back the character that had me roll an arch blaster (to which I am VERY grateful for). Ancillary role or not, as an RP'er, more story is a VERY good thing.
Welcome back, Mister Fish. Your aquarium is ready.
Thanks for letting us know, Light.
Manticore, welcome back. It'll be a pleasure having you working actively in the game again, and just knowing that another signature developer is out there among us is a nice thing to know. I'm looking forward to reading about more of the work that you're doing for CoH; welcome back again.

welcome back!
Cool! Good to see you back, Manticore!

Glad to have you back anyhow, Manticore.

Please keep in mind that Mr. Fish's day job is still on the as yet unannounced MMO project at NCsoft North American Headquarters in Austin, TX. However, we are very happy to have him more closely collaborating with the City of Heroes team!

For reassurance after the recent big announcement, one can hardly hope for better news than this. Story has always been at the heart of the Cities universe, setting it apart from its competition, and Manticore's contributions in this area were and are so significant. Though a few of Cities' creators, architects and leading lights have moved on, we're fortunate to remain in good hands.
Welcome back M, nice to have you back in the fold.
Let the maddness begin again, let raid monster island, oh wait we did that already.
Welcome back.

Welcome back, Manticore!
I still remember you at a test server party, and how many of us waited patiently in line for you to give us funky yellow titles.
I still have the screen captures of mine- "Skyscraper Incarnate".

If you're talking Halloween last year, then it wasn't Sean. That Manticore admitted he wasn't Sean, but one of the other devs. Then BackAlleyBrawler posted recently he spent last Halloween in a costume stuck at a computer in a cubicle handing out titles for hours while suffering a cold. So... my powers of deductive reasoning tell me that last year's Halloween Manticore was played by Christopher Bruce who is now the BAB.

Well, it looks like I reactivated my account after a year and a half at the right time.
Most Excellent!!

Guilty. I borrowed Sean's moniker for that Halloween event, the Cuppathon, and many other events...all the way up to the "Season's Greetings admin spam fiasco" of last year that got me grounded from playing around on the live servers.

Heh, you turn Manticore into a birdy too?
But yes, a big welcome back from me to you, Manticore. It's good to have you here, man.

Manticore mentioned how he was working with the Top Cow Comics, and I'm actually wondering what did happen to them? Because I enjoyed the Comics and was sad to hear them discontinueing them.
And it is good to hear that Manticore is returning to the Dev staff in what ever form he is returning as.

Well now I'm a little angry. 
I was on the test server durring that event trying to talk to my fellow Defender Manticore and now I discover it wasn't even him. 
Bad Tanker, no cookies for you!
Now I'm begining to wander if Back Ally Brawler was really the first Manticore's (Justine's father) friend or if he's just a villain who hired that shape shifter to kill him. Wait then why didn't he raise the secont Manticore to be evil?
WHO ARE YOU!

No slight intended to the villains out there! The Praetorians are still my favorite CoH creation and Ghost Widow's journal pieces are my pick for best Manti-lore.
-->M
The fanboy/girl crowd that materializes when the Widow appears at some player event is a testament to how popular and well thought-out she is.
Glad to have you back, even if you don't post much. The powers and concept brought me in, but your story kept me here.
So...about Weaver One....
