Who would you pick as your 2?

None.

If I'm not paying, I'm not playing.
I love this game and the only times I've canceled have been due to burnout or PC issues as oppossed to cost. Heck, most of the time I remain sub'd just to be able to post here.

If I were to cancel, it'd be for one of those reasons, thus I wouldn't be playing at all.

That said, I'm in wait and see mode. If it turns out that the difference between ViP and Premium is marginal AND I end up having to fork over more cash for stuff on top of the sub... Yeah, then I might free up that $15 a month for the PP instead.

(As an aside: Picking 2 characters out of my 138 would be torture, sheer unmitigated torture.)


Maestro Mavius - Infinity
Capt. Biohazrd - PCSAR
Talsor Tech - Talsorian Guard

I'd get 14 if I slipped to Premium but the first two would be my namesake blaster and my tanker Shadowguardinal.

But then, I don't intend to stop paying my subscription unless something drastic happens and then I probably wouldn't have internet either so... meh.

My namesake and my SS/Fire brute - one fun alt and one power alt, basically.

I'd have at least 36 if I slipped to premium. Only question is whether or not they are going to count the 4 slots per server players unlocked when CoV was first released. If they do that will give many vets an extra 60 slots.

2 total, plus slots that were unlocked or directly purchased

If I absolutely had to choose I would go with Kronaros and Lord Kron. Kronaros is a Kinetic Melee/Super Reflexes scrapper who is the living incarnation of the imagination and creativity of a benevolent omnipotent being. Lord Kron is a Claws/Dark Armor Brute who existed before reality did, was kicked out of reality itself for introducing the concept of entropy, and has clawed his way back for the sole purpose of literally tearing reality to shreds. Both have similar costumes, both are designed around the incarnate system, both are complete mary sues, and both have backstories that do horrible, horrible things to the canon of the game.



Three guesses as to which one is which

And Hilarity Ensues!

It can be the lead-in for the "Rorschach and Deadpool" sitcom. They both have really snappy theme songs!

My km/elec stalker and my crab spider.

Style and utility.

That's their names.

Playing while not being subscribed would kind of suck, given my general playstyle is like this:

1. Work on a character until their salvage/recipes/enhancement inventories are filled up
2. Put what sells well onto the market
3. Burn off the salvage and recipes by inventing things, then auction what can't be used
4. Play another character, but keep checking back on the original character every few days and repeat steps 2 and 3 until the original character's inventories are reasonably empty.

Anyway, I'd be reserving access to my flagship Hero and Villain (Little David and Corrupted Haruspex).

Well I only play one char in CoX and he is a peacebringer, so I guess if I want to play, I'll be paying.

If I were limited to two, it'd be the two in my signature--my very first hero and villain.

But that won't be the case, as I've purchased enough bonus slots on Victory that (as of right now) I wouldn't have to give up many--if any--characters if I were to drop to Premium.

Given that I'm horribly afflicted with altitis, as evidenced by my 150 or so characters (most of whom are under level 10), I wouldn't pick any of them.

I'd probably just end up rotating those two slots over and over again, trying out different ideas and themes. Only this time, I'd have to think in terms of character duos, rather than teams of 6 or 12.

OK. But you never answered the question. Which two characters WOULD you pick? Even if all your copies of GG are identically built, slotted and Incarnated, they're still different characters, and I'm pretty sure I've heard you say that you're on all servers.

Even if we're counting all the extra slots you can get, your Forum registration date plus the 2 slots for the original giveaway and the 2 for GR still only gives 11 - and I doubt that you ever bought any extra slots - and there's 15 servers now..

So which 2 (or 11) would you keep?

A lot of the fun of the game for me is trying new things.....new costumes.....new powers......seeing how a new hero works with a new partner.....etc.


There will never be enough content in CoH......people burn through new content in a matter of days.........you have to go out and find things for yourself to keep the game fresh and interesting.....for me fresh is trying the same old thing.....with a new hero.


If I was limited to only two......I would move on to another game.

The very IDEA of leaving Virtue makes me sort of want to vomit.

Sure. The RP will be effected by new players. But...Still. Going to a VIP server which will end up being just a giant mass of people.

Whats happens to our Character names?

I guess if I was hard pressed to move Id move

Rift-Dancer and White-Swan...or Disomnia.

Even though our play time is no where near where it use to be, I would be shot by Sister Flame if I thought about opting to move to Free Play.

But, if I had to choose two, it would be Sister Flame and Brother Frost, followed by Takes Care Of Pets (Flame's MM) and Nun Chucks (My 50 Scrapper).

In the VERY unlikely situation where I cancelled a VIP...

I'd pick two new slots and play the game from a totally fresh perspective.


 

Posted

Choice #1: Shadow Ravenwolf

No Brainer, My Namesake and first Level 50.

Choice #2: Doc Ravenwolf

While I can't bring myself to play Doc, I'll be damned if I ever put him in a place where I've willingly locked him down while the servers still function.

Well, since non-VIP access locks one out of incarnate content, I'd probably give my 50s a break during any lapse period and pick two of my alts to keep lvling/building.

It's possible I'd want to leave one slot with a 50 and the second slot open for creating/deleting various alts until I found another one I liked enough to keep building. The first scenario is more likely though.

Or a combination, probably keep one of my mid-lvl toons and leave an available slot for experimenting with stuff. Eventually something would fill that slot and become the next obsession though.
