Servers went live officially on 4th of Feb '05. But were in fact up and running the day before.

I wonder how many of the few who accessed the game a day early on live are still left?

I'm one.

I know some of the others have certainly left. But are there others still around? we should have a badge.

Dunno about you, but I'm *still* waiting for the "something" we beta testers were promised!

i've found out what that something is. Turns out it was suspense all along. You haven't been waiting, you've been using your reward

"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!"

Did about a month of EU beta and then started on the Friday the servers opened. Apparently I officially took about 10 months off since I got the 33 month reward in November 07 and the 36 in October 08. However, I wasn't really playing for quite a while before I killed the account.

Now I'm back, and rather happy to be back. I'm not one of those people who finds CoH wonderful all the time. It has many flaws, but what it does have is a wonderful bunch of people to roleplay with, and when I get tired of the repetitive content (it is, but no worse than any other MMO), there's always the fun folks I play with to keep me going.

I logged in for the first time around the 27th of Feb 2005. Around Nevermore's departure I left for WoW for a few months before returning hence my Vet Rewards are lagging :/

been around along time got my 51 month vet and 54 vet is due 11th November i keep mostly to myself and still get strange comments from ppl saying how come they dont know me even tho i have some many vets its because i dont bring attention to my self often or use the boards much. i just sit back and watch and yes i have my eyes on you.

And I'm another, my real 4 year anni comes on New Years Eve (beta) but have to wait til feb for the offical one, altho my passion for CoX has started to wane slightly in the past couple of months I'm still here and fighting strong. I gave WAR a try and found the reasons why I loved CoX so much, something about this game just doesn't let go!!!
