Hello,
Having just re-installed the game after a *cough* short break of several years, just seeing if any of the old Paragon Allstars or Scrapapocolypse members are still around. Would be great to catch up with folk if anyone still remains although I realise chances are slim with the ammount of time that has passed.
Hopefully will meet some new folk as well and find out exactly how to play the game again (or from scratch as I assume a lot has changed mechanics wise).
Feel free to say hello to a confused looking tank wandering around :P
See you around the city

What I did after returning to the game in issue 7 (after I left in issue 4) was to stop playing my old characters and roll up some new characters. Playing from scratch (and don't look at the AE buildings!) is probably the best way of relearning how to play the game.

Its been ages but I think that the Paragon Allstars merged with some Agency and other SGs into what was called Darkwings. Allstars and Agency had gotten very small as had other SGs all averaging about 13 people who logged in often around ED time. Some SGs merged for more ppl and to not invite just anybody and stay quality/quantity and some went to a kick and invite system padding things out more through global membership and log in every so often to grow fast as quantity/quality. I haven't seen a Darkwing in ages. I think they more or less become a guild and now play other games but I am not sure.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Not quite. You make it sound a little like the Darkwings were a new SG formed to hold the remains of the Agency/PA's and some other. Not so, we've been in existence since about 2-3 days into the EU launch.
a) The DW's are still active, just not actively recruiting any more. we've settled down to a core group of old timers, and since we've played alongside each other for so long, we tend to prefer it as it is.
b) There was never a merger involving the Agency/DW's, not officially, anyway. the Agency still exists, still has members, and a few of them still log in on an irregular basis. A lot of the players involved sort of gravitated into a regular play group, and because the DW players (ie Myself and Lifeline) were more stubborn than anyone else and wouldn't leave our SG, eventually we ended up just using the DW and associated SG's.
c) A lot of said players left for other games (mainly WoW). Sometimes they come back for short periods. Some don't play MMO's any more, some just vanished into the ether.
d) If you've not seen a DW in ages, then you've either not been looking in the right direction, or just not run across one of us Not surprising, since most of the game time is spent in instances.
Several of the Cold Front mob were what could be classed as Darkwings.
Anyway, enough rambling, none of this really has anything to do with the Paragon Allstars, just trying so straighten out the record.
