Wow, what a nice and positive post! 
Nice post, Cap!
I'm a 6 year+ vet myself & I can say with great certitude that if you keep this up you'll pass my lowly post count in no time.
Anyway, I nominate you for the prestigious "Feel-Good Post of the Week" award!

Many people seem to view video games, and MMOs in particular, as both childish and sad, and many more still seem to view the Internet as a dumb place that makes people dumber. But I agree with you - it's probably the complete opposite in reality, at least as long as you approach it with a positive attitude and find a decent game to play |

I want to repeat something I've said before - it's the Internet, and this forum in particular, which taught me English to the degree I speak it today. I came here with a good but rudimentary level of written English, but through practice and interaction with the native speakers, I've managed to get to a level that at least I feel is pretty dang good
That, and for an unsocial person such as myself, the kind of interaction I've had here has been quite useful in general. It sound odd to learn about people's reactions from the Internet, but in a large part, it's useful as thanks to the Greater ******* Theory, most people tend to be more genuine to their personality on the 'net than they are in real life, which makes these experiences actually quite useful.
'Sides, no better way to learn how to take a verbal beating in your stride

This, more than any other single factor in the game (and there are more than several), drew me here and keeps me here.|
Captain_Electric loves the world: I love reading all the stories and clues and contact bios during missions, creating and updating my characters bios as they grow and change throughout their adventures (this might be my favorite part), and just started using Virtueverse.com too. I read comic books, especially Marvel. I also read and write science-fiction. But for me, personally, there's nothing that can hold a candle to the uniqueness of this nightly fictitious experience that's as much my creation as it is Paragon Studios. Paragon Studios has built a comic book universe that is at once familiar and original, and I've carved my own creations into a corner of that universe. |
Great post and happy anniversary!
Dec out.
Congratz! May you enjoy many more years!

Congratulations.
I just hit my 2 year badge last night.
One of the guys I game with regularly couldn't believe I was only 2 years though. Thought I'd been in-game even longer.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Come next Tuesday I'll be a one year vet and I couldn't be happier! This game is more than just a creative tool to express my imagination, it's a part of my life. I've met some awesome people in my almost year here and I wouldn't trade them for the world. (Corny but SO true.) Without all the awesome people in-game and on the boards my life this year would have been lonelier. Keep rockin' everyone!
Congrats to Captain Electric for 1 year and congrats to Hyperstrike on 2 years and pregrats to Hidden Hero for 1 year. Even when I am not playing the game I LOVE coming to the forums and reading them, even if I don't post. This game rocks! In May I hit my 3 year badge and I am still loving this game.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

And I feel the same. I've gotten more enjoyment/dollar out of COH than any other recreational activity, starting at a time when $15/month was a lot of money.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

I sleep 7 or 8 hours a night now, probably for the first time in my whole life. I could go on and on. Mostly, I just want to express thanks. Especially for the community that keeps all of this alive; for Matt "Positron" Millar, for his unceasing genius; for War-Witch, for overseeing Going Rogue (and the deeper nuances it will help bring to my characters); and for Rick Dakan, who I understand wrote much of the original storyline and comics.

Kidding.
Have some anniversary rep, Cap.
The Alt Alphabet ~ OPC: Other People's Characters ~ Terrific Screenshots of Cool ~ Superhero Fiction
Thanks folks, and I'm looking forward to another year. My most-played heroes are all just now beginning to stumble upon their biggest, most important arcs yet, so I'm sure their best adventures are still ahead of them.
P.S. Thanks, Hyperstrike, for making the Ultra Mode guide linked in your signature! (I actually built a new PC to prepare for Issue 17, worth every penny.)
