Capital Grille and Legal Seafood? Sounds like someone had a nice expense budget.
War Witch you did things in a weekend that I haven't done in 15 years living in Boston. All the touristy things one only tends to even consider when someone visits from out of town.
Sadly I didn't get a chance to chat with WW. At least I have that to look forward to next time.
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)
Had a great time at the M & G!
Wife (Clipp) and I enjoyed the atmosphere, conversing with fellow players, losing at pool to Clipp and a few others, and getting to meet most all the devs/community relations team at one point or another.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to chat/congratulate War Witch on her new position as Dev Overlord; she had quite the crowd around her most of the evening, and trying to find a break in between the "fix nao's" and "here's what you all need to do at Paragon Studios" folks that took up most of her time, I was lucky enough to at least get a photo of her. By the time things were closing up, you could tell she was on her last erg of energy.
Posi was awesome as usual; great sense of humor and you can tell how much he loves this community and the game in all he said and did that night.
Community Team did an outstanding job, and Ocho was fantastic to chat with, as was EM Pulse!
It was a shame the evening ended so early (ok, early for me), but with most of the team on morning flights out of Logan, I fully understood.
I truly hope this can be an annual event for NCSoft/Paragon Studios.
Having them here on the east coast was indeed a rare treasure, espcially for us New Englanders. My thanks to the devs and community relations team for a solid "10" out of 10 on performance and interaction!
I'm jealous I didn't get to go. Sounds like everyone had a great time and honestly, got some great info on the boards already, so that's fantastic. I'm glad everyone had a good time, and it makes me look forward to hero-con that much more.

Honestly, I think it's obvious that Positron thinks the clown summoning idea is both silly and absurd, and he likes making a punch-line out of it.... By any means necessary.

Hasn't clown summoning been a joke since like CoV closed beta?

I'm still kicking myself over forgetting to ask about the Malta Group. Argh!

Wouldn't it be better then to make a clown summoning set, but also make it very weak, and then smack them about for hours? |

Although, MM pet customization should take care of the problem

Like I've said, my only real regret is that I didn't get a chance to talk to more people and find out their global names. It turns out that I may have just met someone in-game about a day before we were in the same place at the Meet and Greet... But we had no idea, hehe.
So, if we can't get full holographic projection names and /info options floating over our heads for next time... a board with all of our globals/forumhandles could be the way to go. *nods*

and everyone was an absolute treat to meet and chat with!Actually... My other regret is that I totally didn't find/recognize you until later into the event, haha. A certain team member, who shall remain nameless (Or numberless), told me that I couldn't find you because you were short... But I'd never mention that here. <.<
When I finally did find you, you were so kind and acted as upset as I was that I couldn't find sooner, haha.

I do wish to apologize for calling you a "noob". I am, however, very glad that you had a good time despite that
Seeing everyone on the team's love for the game (Especially Posi's excitement of getting his hands dirty with the Incarnate stuff) was a real treat.
Seriously, if you guys are free next weekend, I'd love to do it again.
(I could keep rambling on and on, but no one wants to read my ramblings that much! Plus, I should probably be busy with other things!)

Oh, Ransim, it was a pleasure sitting down and talking with you and everyone at the table! Very glad we met up. We should, at the least, run some missions some time soon.
I meant to head over to your table sooner, as it was one of the first to respond to my loud broadcasts looking for a team from Virtue.
(I didn't realize how much it did look like Pocket D in there until I just looked at that pic! Glad I didn't realize or I likely would have run for the base teleporter ASAP)
Slax, it was nice meeting and talking with you. I actually did want to hear more of your perspective on pvp (Actually, talking about it made me decide to read up on the forums about it a bit to garner my own opinions on it... as it is a subject I'm largely in the dark about). Which... makes it kind of funny that I was having a bit of a one-on-one with Posi about PvP options earlier, hehe (Before I'd even run into you).
Hmmm... GhostofMalta, we might have passed by and exchanged some words on our way to the Men's Room a few times, hehe. *waves*
And Mrs and Mr. Topdoc, I believe we (KarmicAvenger and I) may have been hanging out by you two and chatting a bit during the Raffle giveaways!
(I was the one who kept shouting, "Ooooh! Ooooh!" every time the number they called out began with "145" [which, every single number did, of course])
Wish I had gotten more names of the people I chatted with!
Did anyone take pictures and have you posted them yet??

So, I wasn't able to make it as it was anniversary weekend with my gf. Did everyone just mix it up or were there tables set up for the various servers just to act as icebreakers? What happened? ( ' :

I did not see any indicators for teaming up, other than our name tags.
I may have missed something though...
My story was this:
My wife and I hopped into the car and drove 3 hours straight to be there. (Entered the Blue Caves district for a few minutes before getting back on track and finding our way) Then we raced straight for the bathrooms (Which, of course were at the farthest corner from the entrance to Jillian's) with zero regard to anything else going on around us...
Upon exiting the bathrooms and feeling much better... We saw a sign by these stairs tucked away in a dark corner for the VIP rooms...
So, we walked up them and came into the main room via somewhat of a back entrance, where only the Dev team were hanging around, getting ready, chilling and shooting some pool.
David Nakayama was super nice and greeted us and we chatted it up a bit (Sadly, I didn't get a chance to talk with him later on).
Jesse/Ghost Falcon came and joined us and we were just casually having a conversation when I asked if we were even supposed to be there yet (It was probably 6:50ish at that point).
I can't remember if it was Positron who yelled and kicked us out (Hehe... Just kidding... someone did say that they were just asking people to hang out on the main floor until they were ready).
So, we politely went back downstairs and ordered something to drink when I noticed a long line of people by a City Of Heroes sign.
That was the official entrance and people were jammed in waiting there.
I walked over and said hello to people (But mostly got shunned... I think they were all talking in SG chat)...
(I probably could have tried harder)Then, the two of us waited for the line to go in before we walked over and got our name tags, fancy glowing necklaces and costume codes from Ocho and Empulse.
We walked in and everyone was sitting at tables and grabbing food and drinks.
*shrugs*
Then I started spamming broadcast and trying to be as social and friendly as possible... Which eventually worked out well enough
Everyone was just mixed around the room (Some sitting, some standing). I enjoyed hanging by Posi in one corner, because 1) it was nice chatting with him and 2) it was cool to hear what everyone was coming and saying and such.
Those were the basics of my experience there, hehe.
Oh, one other point:
We spent a lot of time looking at people's name tags, trying to spot someone we might know through the forums or the game...
My wife said, "It is weird staring at everybody's chests..."
I told her I was used to it.
<.<

Cool beans on the new info. I am really hoping there is more to GR. If this is it then...well... color me disappointed.
I was hoping someone would ask if the mission maps would be new. Also if there were any new game systems going to be added that are different from what we have.
Dopplegangers sound really interesting.

Next time I'm totally printing myself up a badge to wear to the event. I kinda feel like more people will probably be familiar with my forum avatar [or my main, who is depicted in it] than the name itself.
