Returning to the Game after Long Hiatus
Welcome back to the game, Green Wind!
Try joining some channels like Infinity Badges 2.0, and AE Anonymous, there are others, they do alot of teams, TFing and more.
Right click your chat box, go to join channel, then type the channel name in and your in it.
Welcome back to the city, Green. Were you on my pickup team, this past Tuesday? Perhaps I'm just mixing up names. <grin>

Thanks for the tips, and I will definitely join those channels. A lot of info on the boards, some current some older. Good to know where to start.
Haven't actually grouped up with anyone since I have been back. Only been on for a little while at a time so far. Didn't want to say "Hey, let's group up...see you later!" I will be on for some longer stretches in the near future, so that should change.
I do remember the pickup group experience in this game to be way more fun than what it has been lately in WoW, so I am definitely looking forward to that.
Hey guys, just wanted to jump back on for a quick update and to solicit you all.
My little tanker is now up to level 16. Grouped up a few times, but mostly solo play so far. I should be on a few hours on Friday night (maybe tonight or Saturday too). My goal for the weekend is to find a Supergroup for a little more social interaction and teaming.
Before rolling the dice in-game, I thought I would check again on here to see if anyone is part of an SG that is recruiting or at least accepting new members. FWIW, I intend to stay fairly casual (RL comes first), I love running in groups, and I am pretty easy-going. I am still re-learning the game, but have come pretty far in a few weeks.
If it sounds like I may fit with your SG, please post or PM me who I should speak with in-game. I am happy to run some missions before joining to make sure that we are a good fit.
I will warn you that I am still getting use to the UI and the communication tools. That sometimes makes communication a little awkward. I promise that I am not an ***, it just may seem like it as I figure out what the hell I am doing.
Dropping a line to introduce myself and maybe scam my way onto a few teams or maybe a Supergroup.
I played CoH for a year or so, last logging on maybe four years ago. My main back then was a Blaster. As my interest in the game was waning, I went on vacation. When I came back, my Supergroup was disbanded, and I threw in the towel.
After that, I spent most of the next four years playing WoW. Lately, that has become a drag, as real life keeps me from raiding on a regular basis, and the grind of dailies and doing the same old dungeons again was wearing on me.
I am a superhero geek at heart, and I really enjoy the combat mechanics for CoH. So here I am. Within the last week, I rolled a Shield/Mace Tanker on Infinity, and I have been having a rather laid-back good time. I am only level 11 now, but I will be in the mood for grouping up pretty soon, so I figured it is time to put myself out there.
My schedule is very erratic. I typically only get on 2-4 times a week for a few hours at a time. When I am around though, I should be a pretty good contributor to a team (unless it's pvp). If there are any Supergroups out there that are mostly adult, casual-friendly, and have a good sense of humor, I would love to join up.
About me:
Global: @Green Wind
Main: Skerik
Real Life: 34 yrs. old, one kid (sometimes causes interruptions), live in the Northeast and mostly on between 8:30 and 11:30 Eastern, sometimes on in the afternoon on weekends.
Look forward to seeing some of you in game!
