The virtues of Virtue. (I'm so witty)

Hello, my new home.

I am a CoH vet, played since day one, played on and off at an average of 4-5 month a year. I always come back with the same 3-4 friends because we never tire of this game.

Since day one, all my main characters have been on Freedom. Over time, I relocated by starting red side on Guardian, but I almost never play redside anyways. I also started a few alts on Infinity and I play them quite often, nice, relaxed little server. But my main characters and highest level have always been on Freedom. Freedom, land of opportunity... I mean, land of where everyone goes by default and where farms, PL and obscenity is rampant.

Since we were recently offered free transfers, I decided to try this fabled land called Virtue, where they say that (mostly) everyone is supposedly polite and mature.

And guess what? Seems they were right.

In the first session I played, I went AFK for maybe 30 minutes (doing a respec). Had I done that on Freedom, my chat screen, upon return, would kinda have looked like this:

XxMastaKiLlAxX says: lft?
XxMastaKiLlAxX says: ltf?
Wlvrine00234 says: ae mish?
Fire Kin Lord says: farm lol?
XxMastaKiLlAxX says: lft?
XxMastaKiLlAxX says: ltf??????1

But... it didn't. I had indeed two group invitations on screen, from two different people. They had capital letters. Punctuation. Complete words... Words like "hello" and "please".

I made it a point to give those two people a full answer. They deserved that much.


Contrary to what it looks like, this post is not meant to bash Freedom. Some people like how Freedom is; more power to them. I was just growing more and more secluded after each social interaction I experienced there. This is meant to say that, from a first glance, Virtue seems to be all it promises to be.

So to celebrate this, I loaded Black Azura, my sweet, sweet Kat/Inv scrapper who has been in her 40s for over two years. Yesterday night, with four friends I dragged along, I played and completed my very first mission on Virtue. And so, just as we were happily throwing the last group of Council soldiers around, Azura reached level 50. My very, very first level 50. No powerleveling, no farms. Took me six years to get there.

Tonight, I will roll my first Kheldian on Virtue. Because Virtue is just that cool.

And dare I say roleplay?

Welcome aboard. Remember to leave your sanity, feed the catgirls, don't feed the catbois, and your new straightjacket will be ready in an hour.

OVerall Virtue is a good server, but like everything else there are exceptions to the rules, so don't worry if you hit some unmature, unfriendly, l33t sp34k or other oddball people.

Oh yeah, *hands a pair of shades* Jsut in case you bump into DJ Cozmic.

Looking directly at DJ Cozmic isn't something that should be done with mere sunglasses. You'd at least need a welder's mask.

I to come from the land of liberty and still dont have the jacket

u wnt taem yes or no?????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ONE

Welcome to Virtue. Remember, don't enter Pocket D without a Haz Mat suit.

Soooooooo.... what's so terrible about Virtue's Pocket D?

/ducks behind a desk.

No really, I don't know.

>_<

I'm warning you, I have duct tape and I am NOT afraid to use it.

Sooo, double exp week-end? Can't wait. I have a Kheldian to level!

Virtue isn't as bad as everyone says. It's just kind of our slogan to bash pocket D because of all the ERP.

Thing is, Pocket D's populous is slowly ever changing. The people that I used to RP with don't frequent that place as much anymore.

Still, its reputation precedes it. With the ERP and what not.
