You learned about a community created anniversary podcast yesterday…but that’s just the beginning! There are all kinds of ways CoH players are celebrating our game turning another year older. Check out all these different types of content and activities being created by the community for the community in honor of CoH’s 6th birthday!

Samuraiko’s 6 Year Anniversary Video!

Dark_Respite has graced us with yet another of her amazing videos! Her 6th Year Anniversary creation focuses on no less than 20 events that shaped the City of Heroes® world going all the way back to April 28th, 2004. All the game’s issues and expansions are covered in this in this in-depth video retrospective that is sure to entertain! Go here to view it.

Listen and Win on The Cape Radio!

The Cape Radio has gotten into the Anniversary spirit as well. They are giving away your choice of in-game costume code every day during one of their live shows up until the 26th of May. But you never know which show…so you need to listen to win! The Cape is always a fun listen, and their in game events on the Virtue server are always a blast so check them out! Go here for more info.

Player Run In Game Events!

The Liberty Server has it going on this anniversary!

If you want to check out the new Task Force content in Issue 17: Dark Mirror, you could try the Sisterhood Sunday - Special Anniversary Edition, where they plan to get as many folks through the newly improved Positron Task Force as is superpossible!

If keeping Earth safe from the Rikti menace is more your cup of tea, then you’ll probably want to check out the Alpha and Omega RWZ Challenge, which will include a 6th Anniversary Costume Contest.

There is great stuff happening on all the servers, so go take a look at the server forums on the Official City of Heroes Message Board to get in on the action.

Supergroups in the Press!

Two of our Super Groups were recently featured in an article on Massively. In honor of the anniversary, both ICONS (on Victory) and Fusion Force (on Triumph) have been active for 6 years and shared with Massively some of their thoughts on the game and what it’s been like to be part of the community since the beginning! Take a look at the article, it’s definitely worth a read!

Thanks for all the support, CoH players and Happy Anniversary!

Since they're practically a fixture of the CoH Community, I snuck all 20 Cape Radio DJs into my video.

Thanks for the mention, Ocho!

Just watched your video Sam.....it's awesome (as usual). If I wasn't already a player, watching your videos would certainly peek my interest in the game. IMHO, Paragon Studios needs to hire you as part of their promotional team so you can get paid for all these wonderful videos that you keep making.

Keep up the great work!!

A great video to help celebrate the 6th anniversary. I have really enjoyed playing this game, even if I'm still relatively new. The videos show how very awesome this game really is, and all the community events add to the overall experience. Keep up the great work, Dark_Respite, and everyone else, that help pull our community together and bring others to join us.

Right at the 3:00 mark there is a large wood door with a tree carved in it. Over the door it says DE GEN. Where is that? Is that in Eden somewhere?

Nope, that's redside, in the Abyss. There's an area that is almost straight out of "Jurassic Park", including containment zones, bunkers, and a reception building (you can't enter it, unfortunately). But the Giant Monsters crawling all over it makes it a challenge to film in there, let me tell you!

Oh... you know. I think that might be the one zone I've never been to. Time to fix that I think.

Great video, as always, Sam... I too have a question, and mine is, I'm sure, a rather silly one: at the 4:30 mark, you show a few letters - did you copy/paste souvenir text onto parchment textures to create those, or are those actually in-game somewhere, and I've managed to miss them for 6 years?

Pretty sure I know what the answer is, but I just want to be certain.

Those are the letters from the Omega Team time capsule that was 'opened' in November of 2009. Six of them appeared on the forums, others on the main page of the website. Technically they're not part of Issue 15, but they were so well done, and they fit well with the "Anniversary" motif of I-15.

I'd like to thank Mod8, NCSoft, and Massively for thinking of Fusion Force for this article. It was an amazing honor to be a part of it. We've had a lot of fun these past 6 years, and plan on being here for many, many more!

Feel the Fusion!

Watched it and, while very good, it made me feel freakin' old!

Well, if the comments on the YouTube version of the video are any indication, it seems a lot of players really enjoyed it! Glad you guys got a kick out of it, and enjoyed the trip down memory lane.

Now to figure out what to do for the 7th anniversary video...
