Slight return

Well, here I find myself again, after an absence of a year and a bit. Before that I'd played sporadically, but before that I was addicted to CoX for 3 years. Since getting bored with CoX I played lots of the main MMOs, and enjoyed much of what's on offer, including CO recently. CO has many plus points, but you know what? - teaming in this game just has that something special

In fact I find that's where they all go wrong. For me, as a casual player, no other MMO has offered the same amount of social gameplay. Even if it is just on a fairly shallow level, that's what's nice about it. You can jump in and within a few minutes be chatting away merrily with a bunch of strangers, and get into a nice trance state blasting away. Just perfect for unwinding at the end of the day!

Most other MMOs are mostly-solo-some teaming for me as a casual player, in CoX it's the other way round, it's mostly-teaming-some-solo - well it has been for me always, and I venture to say the "PUG heaven" quality of this game has always been its secret power. Not that I have anything against soloing, but why would I when there are so many great teams going round?

It's been long enough of a break that everything's a bit fresh again, and there's loads of new content to explore, so after playing a few nights I've realised my nostalgic decision to re-sub was a good 'un. Also looking forward to graphics update and expansion.

Anyway *wipes small spot of moistness from eye*, just thought I'd say hi!

actually since you have been away for a while, you missed something that will excite you. the super sidekick system. remember how, if you had a large group with disparate levels, you kind of had to jockey everyone into pairs? no more, read up on it, but leader now sidekicks EVERYONE, and better yet, exemplaring now gives exp, so pugging just went from convenient to amazing. be aware of it though that if you have a mission in a hard to reach place, maybe dont make someone a leader who is significantly lower than the zone level until you have clear out the door, because they can drop everyone down some levels and turn some ineffectual greens to chainsaw wielding purples..but basic communication can fix that caveat, beyond that, happy pugging.

Gotta say though, with that thread title it is mandatory that you must now create a character named Voodoo Chile.
