Fun stuff! Thanks for the nostalgia!
One more item (so I'm not bombarding you with in-game tells), there's a copy of a costume Ex Libris wore (at least once) here:

If you'd like to use that instead of the business suit.
CoH Codex : Demo Models/FX/MOVs : Demo Info
Arc 111022: "Doctor Geist and the Scientific Method"
Thanks! I probably can't just plug that into a .costume file and expect it to work in the MA, can I? Never really got into demo edits and such, but maybe I should read your guide and figure it out. (EDIT: Or I could let Leandro do the work for me -- Thanks Leandro! )
I'll be sprinkling some more "historic references" into the arc over the next couple of days (including some stuff you recommended). Thanks for the feedback. 
Arc updated to include a few more "historic references." If anyone has any more requests, let me know. I'm running out of space in the arc, but there's a little room left.

Note for Mod 08 and others, the following line is another suggestion for a historical reference to add to Hellguards arc, as solicited, and is not intended as a "reply of negation" or similar response:
/jranger

I'll see what I can do. 
Okay, so far all the requests I've received have made it into the arc, including /jranger. I've also updated the arc to include a little bit of rick, and the rolling thereof. There may also be a side order of Freem! involved.
Just a note that I've decided to keep this arc up until the end of May, so if you want to play it, please try to do so before May 31st. I will probably move it over to the Test Server, or maybe one of my other accounts at that point.
This arc is finally getting some plays, and I wanted to share some of the feedback I've been getting lately:

Thanks to everyone who's play the arc so far and for sending me feedback! This was a fun arc to do (even if I felt rushed while doing it since the idea didn't occur to me until a few days before the anniversary), and it's great to see so many positive responses.
Just a note that I'm planning on taking down this arc by the end of the month to make room for another arc, so if you wanna play it, be sure to do so before then.
I just played this arc and I LOVED it! One of the best works of art I've seen on the MA! Loved the "FREEM!" "/jranger" and "Rick-Roll" jokes!
Honestly, I just have one problem with it...
WHY ISN'T IT ON DEVELOPER'S CHOICE OR HALL OF FAME! THAT IS NOT JUSTICE!

TO THE END!Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

Wow, thanks for the high praise; it's really appreciated.
Arc Name: Looking Back: A Fifth Anniversary Celebration
Arc ID: 110993
Faction: Heroic
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Hellguard
Difficulty Level: Easy to Medium
Synopsis: Travel back in time to each of the first five years of City of Heroes to rescue VIPs from each time period and foil a plot to weaken Paragon City itself!
Estimated Time to Play: 45 minutes to an hour (5 missions, no defeat alls, 2 EB/AV fights with allies provided)
This arc is not supposed to be SERIOUS BUSINESS; it's intended to be light-hearted, but it does have a story behind it. I've sprinkled in some in-jokes and other memorable moments from the last five years (some of which won't make sense to newer players or those who don't frequent the forums), but there is plenty of room for more. If you have any favorite moments from the last five years that you'd like to see included in the arc, let me know and I'll do my best to work them in.
This arc will be moved to the Test Server at some time after the actual anniversary date (unless the response to it is overwhelming) so play it on Live while you can.
