So...i took a 4 year break

Hello all, i`ve been away a long time and thought that now would be a great time to return to city of heroes and villains.

I have fond memories of my mastermind and have never found a pet based class that compares in any mmo i have played since.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see that, with the new expansion, i can finally make a mastermind that can go on the hero side of the game and that can enjoy the social side of sitting about under that giant atlas statue *grins*.

I previously played on the other server, due to a bad choice by my supergroup, which has long since gone. As i`m a roleplayer, now is a good time for me to create a new character on Union.

I`m very keen to make some contacts and to have some friendly people to talk to (perhaps on teamspeak 3). I would be grateful for any names or suggestions, so that i can say hello and get to know folks before the expansion comes.

Lets hope the game works on my computer.....once its done patching and hello to one and all.

Welcome back to the game
There is a whole new game for you to play now, with plenty of free content that has been given to us.
Do give me a tell /tell @lady Arete if you have questions.
Also for roleplay there is the crowd under Galaxy Girl at the evenings, some RP in Pocket D and also in a few supergroups.

Do not be discourage if you do not see many people around, since there are as you might remember a lot of action taking place in instances.
A few channels you might want to have is:
Sals badgehunters (Badges, getting into TaskForces)
Union Chat (Loose talk of everything, nothing and plenty more, cox related or not)
Union Taskforce (Event & taskforce gathering)
I can check if there is an RP channel (however not as I type).

Thankyou for the reply, Lady A.

I loosely followed events as i was away and one thing i heard about was the inventions that came about. I remember seeing "tech-wings" and thinking how amazing they were. One day i shall get myself a fancy pair of flappable wings, as i`m keen on the flight power and it would be nice to have something that gives that a visual appeal (i know the wings do not give the power themselves).

I have fond memories of flying around.

I`ll certainly say hello when i get the game working.

Welcome back, you missed quite a bit

But that's not a bad thing by any means! So much to catch up on...

I'd strongly suggest joining those channels Lady. A suggested. quickest way to get wired into the community. Also its a great place to pop your questions if you find something new you don't get.

The wings should be very easy to get through Ww (if you havn't already). Hell I'll even get them for you if you can't find them. feel free to look me up if you need anything: @Soul-journ

Anyway, have fun.

Since the invention system is new to you, you'll be experiencing an entirely new game

Feel free to PM me if you need any help whatsoever [whether its just to find a team, need help with influence or what channels to join [though ladys are the main] ]. The first thing you'll notice though is that atlas is nowhere near as busy as it used to be, back when you was playing this was mostly down to a lack of activities to do.

Now, theres always something NEW you can be trying out and thus people spend less time just hanging around for a chat [though we do still do that ] and with power customisation and new costume pieces i think you'll find yourself changing your costume much much more often

[Be sure to check out ouroboros and the mothership raids too!]


@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

Well, was expecting this topic to quietly move down the forum list, but some replies have popped up, so i thought i would post once again.

I`ve been back a short while now, a week i guess and it took a little while to find my feet again, but i did so.

Overall the welcome i have recieved has been positive and folks have been very helpful, especially over the various channels that i chose to join. I got the wings i wanted after figuring out the invention and auction systems.

At the moment i am quietly levelling up my characters, grouping here and there when i can and roleplaying on and off. I like pvp, so i have been a bit sad to see how empty places like warburg are, but i figure that all the players now have top level characters, so recluse's victory is where its at.

The one handy leg up i got was that my character was quite old and had lots of the old base salvage. Converting and selling that proved a good start to getting "cash" and that meant i didnt have major problems sorting out new enhancements as i levelled.

Just a matter of getting to 50 i guess, so i can be where the action is.

Oh, take your time. This game is after all about the journey and not the end.
I do not know the pvp community that well, but you could also join the arena channel. I think they would welcome new blood.
Oh if you got any more questions, like Damz said, do give me a pm (will be back later tomorrow)
