J'ai visité les serveurs français! I'm gonna hang out on the French servers until I know enough French to type confidently without Google Translate. Haha.
Got "Mobilize" (with a z this time!) on Union, we'll see if I can get it everywhere else, too.
Anyone Who wants to argue about my usual foolishness can find me here.

I'll miss you all.
I'm "A Momentary Presence" on Defiant.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
Well, to represent the "Other Side" I snagged MZ on Freedom and Virtue. Not sure how often I'll be over there compared to Defiant though.
I was playing a Fire/Fire blaster in Union earlier, but I was disillusioned by the lack of tea and crumpets before the game of cricket. I'd brought my monocle and everything!

This is what 3700 heroes in a single zone looks like.
Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!
I came over to Virtue and chatted with Beastyle.
Sorry Leandro, I normally supply the tea and crumpets for Union but since I was on Virtue, there were none about.

A real showstopper!
Union was fine without 'em, as Flea brought some Bacon and Pie from the NA servers with him 
Good time and friendly players on Union. Next up, Defiant!

Samuel_Tow: Your avatar is... I think I like it
logged in to the servers..and am totally stuck for ideas, will have to wait to see if we get some proliferation in issue 21 for the trip. save me some bangers and mash.
Dragged two friends from Virtue across the pond to Union! 'twas a blast and I finally, finally snagged the name I originally wanted for my fire scrapper all those years ago!
Good times, indeed. Now to get my SG base ready for visitors!

Careful with that. The language french people speak in MMOs is a mangled mess of textspeak, broken english and, yes, sometimes a little bit of french thrown in for good measure. |

Naturally, but I've got a French global friend now, and I have a Canadian friend who will correct anything funky I say. |

We built this city on Rock and Roll!
I went over to the other side, tried to get my main toon name on all the US servers.
Seems to be about half a dozen people using my name!!
Hope you're all being good
We built this city on Rock and Roll!
Hopped over to Union last night. It appears that no one has been masquerading under my name.
Can't wait to meet the rest of your crowd.
Where to now?

Vanguard Headsman - Defiant
Conflagrante - Union
Schlitzkrieg - Zukunft
Accidentally juxtaposed the u and the a in Vanguard during character creation. Just reinforcing the notion that we Americans are illiterate gun nuts I guess.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
I hopped onto Union last night and rolled up several new characters, snagging names I've been unable to get on Virtue, including:
Atom Master
Ben Franklinstein
Minitaur
Starry Knight
Looking forward to playing with some of our former benevolent overlords.

Remember to ask which global channels you should join on your new servers people!
I've currently created a Shocker Damz [grav/storm] on freedom but i wont have much time to play him tonight since the invasion is on union in roughly 2 hours.
funny thing was, we had a full team almost instantly on freedom and . . . . it was mostly EU players!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
I re-created a few alts on Union and was surprised that Unspeakable Cad was free but not that Bonfire Knight was taken (maybe I'll try variant). It occurs to me that several of them are on the posh side, so perhaps to balance things I'll create a villain called the Asbogeyman or Asbozo (Asboman has to be taken).
I have spent the afternoon building Mereman on all ex NA servers
Just hope I haven't missed one
Happy to be on Defiant.

Created a Mind/Cold (generally does great in all PvE) on Union called Coldly Logical Kara, same as her namesake on Pinnacle...got a sewer team almost instantly and met some great people, lots of dry humour out there.

I grabbed "Local Man" on three of the four EU servers, but somebody is pretending to be me on Union.

LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

I set up Biowraith on Defiant and Union, and had a look at player numbers while I was there. At 5.15pm GMT (or GMT+1 or whatever the hell the UK is on just now) - that's when I generally go online after work - I looked at visible blueside characters and got 49 Defiant, 129 Union, 47 Victory (my original home server), 251 Virtue, and 302 Freedom.
I'll probably stick with my current servers for now, but I'll keep an eye on Union to see how it fares at times when even the busiest US servers get pretty quiet. (edit: it occurs to me the event thing on Union this evening may be skewing the numbers a bit there...)
