Huh, why did I get an extra character slot...?

Oh, that's right.

I've been subscribed for six years today.

Six years! That's a long time to be playing one game. That's enough time to get asked out by a friend on a Global channel, meet, fall in love, date long distance for a couple months, get engaged, move in together, and get married. It's enough time to get eight characters to 50 and roll a whole lot of alts. It's enough time to meet dozens of other RPers, some for a brief chat, others for months-long storylines.

I love this community, I love our Devs, and I even love arguing on the forums - it tells me there are plenty people who are passionate about the game, so it's still alive and kicking.

Here's hoping to many years more.

I'm confused, what have you been doing the other five and a half years?


We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Technically all of that was the past three and a half years. Before that I was dating a guy who was kind of a passive-aggressive jerk and didn't like CoH much. But I don't want to dwell on stuff like that, so.

Congrats on six years, Silver Gale, and congrats on finding that special someone through the game! I am continually awed at stories like this one.

No, you don't.

Grats!

At City of Heroes, we match people based on deep compatibility, not just color schemes and hair styles, but true compatibility. Do you both hate knockback? Are you both badgers at heart? 29 dimensions: do you both like farming the same one?

Love is out there. And City of Heroes can help you find it. And immobilize and confuse it. And Assassin's Strike it if it gets too needy.

So what was it like back then? Y'know, when you had to make the blue pixel beat up the red pixel?

Yeah, but what happens if you have a Mag-Infinity-Plus-Three fear aura that you can't shut off? Any time I get within 10 feet of a real female (and usually within 30 feet of "the other kind"), they immediately take off, usually screaming, mostly at the top of their lungs, always in fear.

Fantastic! Grats Gale. May many more be in the future.

You kids today with your Inventions and your markets. Back then, we just had TOs, DOs at 12, SOs at 22, and that was it. If we wanted anything but Power 10 enhancements we had to run a bunch of missions for our contact and hope we wouldn't outlevel them by the time they started offering us stuff. We couldn't afford to slot up with all SOs until well into the 30s, unless a kindly 50 helped us out, but we were happy all the same. They were simpler times.

You forgot to mention the Origin stores weren't marked on the maps and you could only transfer 99,999 Inf at a time so if you wanted to kit out your alt you needed very patient SG mates .

I admit it. I laughed out loud. It was the last two lines that got me. Bravo.

Not that I want to make a desperate grab at relevance in light of all the posts on page one being about the new announcement, but...

...wow. That's one *heck* of an anniversary present, CoH.
