...having an SG Base with ALL of the Teleporters and Medical was a huge thing.

...Debt-capping was the only way to slow your XP enough so you wouldn't outlevel your favorite arcs and contacts. (Looking at you Sav, the Croatoa Debtfest!)

...it took longer to get to a mish than it did to finish it.

I remember the time before IOs and market.

I remember the time you could throw a rock and probably come across a fire/kin or /regen scrap anytime of the day or night.


I remember hero epic builds being one shotted by voids.

I remember when the toon stats you had in pve wad the stats you have in pvp.

I remember every night was fight night in Bloody bay on victory server.

I remember team building with teleport on top of the tall buildings in steel canyon. On person would just off the building and we'd try to TP them back to the top before they crashed to the ground.

I remember it being more fun when we'd both Tp and switch places simultaneously.

I remember hitting 50 with my fire/kin before they were fotm.

I remember having 15 imps out at once and mowing down everything.

I remember soloing Nemesis not because I was doing tons of damage but because he couldn't land after a hit and kept getting stuck on the horde of imps.

I remember teaming with 2 other fire/ controllers and seeing 40 imps running wild all at once.

I remember my AoE hold being so fast it would cycle and I could use it again before the spawn could move.

I remember my AoE hold being useful.

I remember the game being fun. I hope that memory returns.

- I hit 50 on CMA and went to my very first Hami Raid and how completely lost and confused by everything that went on.

- How much fun the social event of the old time issue 4-8 Hami Raids were; leading the Taunt team; providing Group Fly for the Drop team and the carnage of the Mito ball.

- Herding up the entire main island of the Drek map in one pull, stacking them all around a corner and wiping out 200+ with one Seismic Smash loaded with 6 Nucleous HO's.

- Running my very first TV trial and trying to figure out how to find the red shield.

- The GDN and the meltdown of the boards and game chat in the aftermath, followed by Statesman's comment that no more power adjustments were planned... shortly before ED hit.

- Trying to get back on the train and thinking it must be broken, not realizing that I was madly clicking on the "exit".

- Getting my first character to 20, thinking about just how much it sucked always being faceplanted (Fire/EM blaster) and rolling up a tanker so I wouldn't die (CMA)

- The stores only sold the "power 10" enhancements and you had to wait until 30 for all the DO's to be available in a store and all SO's weren't available until 40. You had to pick a contact of your origin and do a ton of missions for them before they'd sell you that Fly SO you needed.

- All the friends I've made in the game, and the few who are still playing.

I remember when the Arenas were just unpopulated holes in the ground instead of unpopulated things I leap over.

Well done.
I have a 50 in every AT, but Scrappers and Dominators are my favorites.

I remember being involved in the Hami Raids and learning to lead the Drop Team.

I remember the entire team making up costumes that spelled out Drop Team. LOL

I remember the fun we had poking fun at Severe.

I remember wonderful costume contests held at the Atlas Park Plaza.

I remember playing this game and laughing so hard I was crying when with my good friends.

I remember tanking with my emp healer. >.<

I remember Mr U showing me how to be a blaster tank. (and he was damn good too =) )

I remember the toon auctions held in King's Row.

Poor TMA

I also remember like it was yesterday. Running with the EN and mowing everything down. Wait a sec, it was yesterday. Good to have the crew back together for the launch of GR. Running around in the new zone had that "first hover tour of AP" feel to it.
