Well I was expecting to be on last night, but our post-launch party at work sucked me in when I was only intending to make a short appearance. After stumbling in at 1am this morning, I quite drunkedly put my new graphics card and processor into my computer.
Working great, CoX looks much better also allowing me to make use of the better quality graphics. Only thing now, is that I can't see the bleeding mouse! Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but nope I'd sobered enough waiting the 3hours it took to download all the patches again (had to re-install CoX completely).
Tried it windowed and I can see the mouse pointer just fine. But why would I want to play CoX windowed?! Frustrated and tired I went to bed about 5am...not good when I have an assessment at 13:00 today. :S
Well gonna scour the tech threads, I'm sure I read someone had the same problem. Any of your guys know what be going on?

It's a known issue, there's a command line fix for it, I'll dig it up in a sec.
EDIT: Alter the CoH shortcut to read: ""C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\CohUpdater.eu.exe" -compatiblecursors 1" (Without the outer quotes, and adjusting file path if necessary. That should fix it)
Cheers MaX fo the info. Was finally able to get in game for a good session... mouse pointer et all this evening.

I've began attempting to re-invite all my lost global friends this evening.
I've sent the majority of people I know invites already...however I think I'm experiencing some glitches as a friedn tried accepting my invite this evening but it just wouldn't go on the list. If that's the case try sending me an invite and will respond as soon as I'm in-game.
Also, I've re-created the GoEH chat channel. Should be ingame late evening again tomorrow so hopefuly see some of you then so can invite once again.

Been going through some old drawings and came across a pic I was trying to emulate from the Justice League.
I'd done Capt, Blizz and no.9, however since we have MaX and Schro as leaders, thought I'd add them to the pic.
Done Schro, but need more detail. As for MaX, I'm miaaing pics of MaX, so not started on you at all! :P
Here's how it looks so far... GoEH Founding Members
@Captain Solaris
Guild of Extreme Heroes "Strength is in Unity"
Didn't realise I had to remove you and re-add you to global, will sort that tonight.
And is looking nice. I dont seem to have a cape on any of Schro's costumes at the moment (no idea how that happened) will take screenshots of the two I use most, one's very much like my original but with a tenchcoat instead of a cape, and the other is very comic book style
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
I'm certain you've had a cape in the past...you have to remember, the last time I draw Schro was early last year. Otherwise I think I'm going a bit loony! :P
@Captain Solaris
Guild of Extreme Heroes "Strength is in Unity"
Here's a pic of MaX, it's quite old (August 2005), but the first costume hasn't changed a lot after that....Although I think it has a white-blue scarf now.
I think I had the insect 4 cape on Schro before we got vetran rewards, I probably swapped out the cape for the tenchcoat on her main costume I think that would be it.
I'm sure that would be it
If I could copy a costume without having to do it manually I'd change one of the others to that cause I prefer it to the others, just not to the one with the trenchcoat (had a slight change of colours on the leather catsuit)

Hey all,
I'm going to redo the GoEH Founding drawing I did. Could be a bit better drawm in my opinon.
Did a sketch of Capt, however somethings missing...need a villain to be coming up against him. So if you fancy me drawing yours, give us a shout and a pic!
Here's one I did of Earth vs. Lethal Charge (Spec). Not overly too happy with it, think I might of rushed it.
Finally I re-did a previous drawing of Blizz I'd down a while back. before I think the proportions were a bit off, but sorta correct it... Blizz redux.
You might notice there's a lack of colour on them! Just being lazy and undecided whether to hand draw or brush up on my photoshop skills.
@Captain Solaris
Guild of Extreme Heroes "Strength is in Unity"
If you need a villain I do have a couple, but you'll probablpy want one from MM first I'm guessing.
Either way just let me know what kind of villain you're looking for

I'm not fussed, any villain will do. ^__^
I've updated the base and put an extra salvage rack. The main salvage rack will be for all salvage...the other will be for the Event Salvage, Tech Components (material, prototype, power...etc) and Magic Components (foci, essence, artifact...etc).

After much thought and being prodded by a number of members, I am in to consider removing a large number of inactive heroes from our SG.
I'm looking to generate prestige for the SG and the only way I see this happening is by recruiting fresh heroes that are regularly played.
I'm on a lot more that I have been in months and am getting back in the stride of attracting fresh blood to the SG.
I've been reluctant to release a number of heroes we have on our roster due to sentimental reasons. But I think now is the time for GoEH to rise and become a more active SG once again.
In the past its been pretty easy going and very little SG team ups and events.
Its not concrete yet, but here are inactive regulations I'd like to put in place.
Guild of Extreme Heroes Clearout
=====================================
Lvl 01 - 19 = 25days before being removed
Lvl 20 - 29 = 50days
Lvl 30 - 39 = 75days
Lvl 40 - 44 = 100days
Lvl 45 - 49 = 175days
Lvl 50 = 250days
This would mean the following heroes are due to be released unless refreshed by their owners within the end of this month.
Mayoko Fumezawa Lvl50 Katana / Regeneration = 539days inactivity
Sno Lvl50 Ice Control / Empathy = 539days
Jhace Lvl50 Fire Control / Kinetics = 484days
Simulcra Lvl50 Illusion / Radiation Emission = 464days
APOLLYON Lvl50 Fire Armour / Fire Melee = 404days
Clairvoyant Lvl50 Illusion / Radiation Emission = 381days
Miss Meren Lvl50 Invulnerability / Super Strength = 351days
Spectre Lvl50 Fire Blast / Fire Manipulation = 283days
ABC . Alienware Lvl50 Fire Armour / Fire Melee = 275days
Tsubasa Lvl50 Katana / Super Reflexes = 256days
Wu Pong Lvl10 = 93days
Vertebrae Lvl11 = 92days
Wu Ping Lvl12 = 90days
Lady Discord Lvl5 = 75days
Alouqua Incendria Lvl12 Fire Control / Kinetics = 68days
Moosed Lvl5 = 39days
Vayu Lvl4 = 38days
V1.1 Lvl12 = 37days
SpaceMoose Lvl12 = 36days
VVhite Lvl12 = 35days
Fire'Bug 16 = 33days
The following heroes are nearing their inactivity period before they see the same fate as the above...
number9dream Lvl50 Martial Arts / Super Reflexes = 155days
Infernia MaXina Lvl22 = 40days
Nyx Zephyr Lvl22 Peacebringer = 40days
Clinophobia Lvl16 = 22days
Being the sentimental fool that I am, I personally don't want to lose any of these heroes...but I need to get tough and try and get this SG alive and kicking again.
Those who aren't able to refresh their alt please leave me a message on this thread or pm on the fourm...email/pm me ingame....or email me on captain_solaris@hotmail.co.uk
Those I'll be removing will be left an ingame emaail regarding their removal...
...HOWEVER! It is not the end! Those who return to the game or decide that their alt is ready for a good run up the levels, please feel free to include them back into our SG.
Next month...I shall be ushering a new era, with even the completion of the SG's long awaited homepage!!! That's right, I've almost finished. There's info missing on a number of heroes, but the site will be up by mid-April.
This will include current members and those who have gone. Will include information about the history (first established, the original founding members, alliances (FPA, Plastic Army, Militis Metus, etc...), the first lvl50 and each first AT lvl50...), SG roster, Gallery and more...
Here's to the new era! Huzzah! 
@Captain Solaris
Guild of Extreme Heroes "Strength is in Unity"
A great idea to be honest, and very much looking forward to the site!
And as for:
Alouqua Incendria Lvl12 Fire Control / Kinetics = 68days 
68 days!!!!
*hides in shame
Nyx is a warshade, POWER TO THE PURPLE or something and I should probably get around to refreshing her. Two of mine fall into the elimination period but I'm hardly alting at all at the moment so its not a problem. Its notmally my job to fill up SGs/Guilds with a silly number of alts after all.
Oh and damn you've been busy.
Will sort out a couple of villain pictures tonight then too

So, yes...with the website, I've done short bio's for each hero that has been with GoEH and how they came about. If you have your own bio that you'd like me to include, please send them across to me via email so can just copy and paste them.

[/ QUOTE ]Can boot infernia, but clino I'm planning to play once I9 comes,will log onto her at some point today or tomorrow.
Currently busy with DDO so not online in CoH much.
I know I've asked this in the past, but would it be poosible to get a biography of your main hero characters (ie: Blizzaria/Alouqua, SchroedingersCat/Dark Celetestine, MaXimillion/Deadly Bubble, Spectre/Tsubasa, Chelsea Rorec/Anya Stormwind, Gunny Stoner/General Stoner, Ekallo/Gonk) for the website?
You can either email me on my personal email address or post on this thread.
If you find it hard to get those creative writing juices flowing, check out the following sites below...alternatively, you can ask me to write a short bio for them instead.

Biography:
Decades ago, RAF Captain Solomon Finn volunteered for a top secret project involving an unknown alien alloy found littered around what was said to be an alien crash site.
Nuclear tests were carried out on the alloy and found properties that did not exist with any other material from this world. It was impervious to number energy blasts and despite the numerous testing, it never lost its strength.
Moulded into a body suit, it was tested with an atomic blast in magnitude of 60megatons. Results found it had withstood the blast and somehow had absorbed a portion of the energy its had been hit with. On concluding the body suit to be safe, human testing began.
The day of the first test codenamed Solaris, Solomon prepared himself and suited up in the body suit made from the alien alloy.
The test proved disastrous. As soon as the debris cleared from the first blast, there was no sign of Solomon as if he had been vaporised instantly
or so it had been thought.
Solomon re-materialised 40 years into the future. Coming through, Solomon could not have comprehended what had happen to him. The alien alloy had melded with his body infusing him with the same properties. Now able to manipulate radiation, Solomon also found he had amazing strength and the ability of flight.
Unknown of the years he had been catapulted through, Solomon returned to base. There he realised friends he had only seen a few moments ago, had aged decades. Shocked upon being updated of events, he also learned of how his wife, Lana had mysteriously disappeared not long after he was thought to have been vaporised. Distraught, he felt he had no purpose.
With his new powers he had attained, Solomon knew he had to use them wisely. He had learned of the Rikti invasions on Earth and how the planet was in dire need of heroes. There he committed himself to working with the government. Taking the name Captain Solaris, he entrusted himself to band together a group of worthy heroes to defend the country and planet from adversaries who would threaten the safety of its people.
Good Luck!

Biography: An immigrant from the stars, Cas Tillo was the sole survivor after his planet, Cuerzon, was annihilated by the Rikti plague for dominance.
Cas was only a child when he saw his family mercilessly slain. He grew up only knowing hardship and labour. At first the Rikti were content to enslaving his people, but soon they grew restless. The decision to exterminate all Cuerzon beings was executed swiftly. Millions died in a matter of days.
Although too late, Cas had overheard the decision of extermination. Along with a large number of other Cuerzonions, they were able to raid a light Rikti scout vessel. The battle was fierce with Cas being the only survivor. With the last ends of his strength Cas climbed aboard the vessel and activate its hyper drive.
Catapulted lightyears from the Rikti slaughter, the vessel soon ended its journey to the nearest inhabitable planet. Upon breathing the planets atmosphere, his Cuerzon body infused with its life force. His physicality was enhanced to proportions greater than any mortal man, beast or being he had ever come across.
Thankful of this new start and abilities he could never have imagined he vowed to protect it from all who wished to harm her. In respect to his new adopted home, he presented himself with the same name.
That name was

Tipped off that an ancient artefact had been uncovered had reached his ears. The original archaeologist in charge of the expedition had mysteriously disappeared and he was sent to take his place.
Upon arriving at Dark Astoria, Gabriel descended down the long winding labyrinth of the catacombs. After a couple of hours searching through the underground rooms he came upon an unmarked hidden entrance with what looked to be a broken seal laying at the foot of the wall. Upon entering he noticed a dull red glow emanating from the back of the room. Walking closer to the glow, he realised it was a broadsword that glistened with a red aura. Mesmerised he ran his fingers across the blade. Despite its age the blade was still sharp and cut deep into his fingers. As his blood spilled onto the blade Gabriel turned toward the light of the entrance to inspect his wound. Behind him the broadsword glowed and hummed as it consumed the blood it had drew. Feeling a sombre presence around him, Gabriel turned slowly and noticed the blade, his eyes grew heavy and slowly passed out onto the stone floor.
Gabriel came through, vision blurred. He was in being caressed on the lap of a sultry and evocative figure. Awe struck by her beauty, Gabriel was lost for words. Softly she spoke...Gabriel, it is time for you to return to me ...to that she took his mortal life.
