I got 13 levels done.
Now that may not sound like much but it was:
45->50
45->50
47->50
Too many alts to list.
Neon Crush (kin/rad): 42 > 45
Raylin Levyse (emp/dark): 43 > 46
Double Down Under (thugs/traps): 15 > 21
Heir Transparent (dark/storm): 8 > 12
I really kinda slacked off this time around. 
You've wanted more control and now you have it.
I didn't have a lot of time to play but I did level my Dominator from 22 to 30 and started a new Defender who ended at level 24.
Got my Earth/fire domi from 31 to 36 on Virtue Friday. Didn't play again until Sunday morning/afternoon Bst and Union was pretty dead so ended up spending an hour and a half soloing my Db/Elec Brute from 21 to 25 in an AE Elec Ambush farm
Starless Tenma (Warshade) - 35-37
Vanessa DeValle (DS/Traps) - 30-33
Didn't play as much as I wanted considering I had Thursday and Friday off...but I chalk that up to being impatient and playing w/ new shinies in the Beta lol.

I forgot to avoid DXP weekend. So I logged on my level 40 stalker in the hopes I could get her some levels in a Mothership Raid. The lag was so bad it was nearly unplayable, and I don't think I ever took damage -- or if I did, it was healed before it appeared on my screen. She got about six bars of xp. I didn't log on anyone else.|

The devs use DXP weekends to test new server configurations. They should call them 'stress test weekends'. I used to stay far, far away from the game on DXP weekends, and I need to remember to do so in the future.

Life is funny. Death is funnier. Mass slaughter can be hilarious.
Those jerks took away my DXP Birthday Weekend, which I had off, and moved it to this weekend, which I did not have off. Those jerks also opened up beta during the same time, so my limited game time was split between chasing XP and chasing shinies. *grumble mumble*

Hmm, let me think. Beta test server sadly leeched away some time
dp/kin cor 42>50 
dp/en blaster 42>43
demon/dark mm 38>39
traps/AR Def 42>46
ice/ice tank 38>39
Was tempted to make a new character, but I'll wait until i21 at this point. I have enough characters to work to 50 as it is.
H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50
Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster
CoH in WQHD
I didn't have a lot of time to play, but my mastermind went all the way from 50 to 50 with an additional 250k prestige.
Where to now?
Check out all my guides and fiction pieces on my blog.
The MFing Warshade | The Last Rule of Tanking | The Got Dam Mastermind
Everything Dark Armor | The Softcap
don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
The initial plan: get my DP/en Blaster up the last 5 levels.
What actually happened: Get two of the highest alts on my third account up to 50 since it was the only one without a single 50 on it.
Jennifer Calum, Vigilante: 41-47. Almost there but significantly closer and I have other means to get her up that last mile.
Tyger Prime, Rogue: 40-50. Cha-ching! Most of the time she spent slaughtering Circle of Thorns with my Incarnate-powered MM. I got the itch in the my few waking hours. Hit 47 to match Jen, noticed I was halfway to 48, got to 48, noticed it was fairly quick and decided to try and hit 49, noticed I was two bars into 49 and figured "Who needs sleep?", got 2 bars from 50, started another mission and then fell asleep. Woke up with 30 minutes to spare, continued the mission, both Prime and my MM died, 15 minutes to go, hit that last couple of mobs and finished with Prime finally dinging for that last time, parking her in the Vanguard base just before the server went down 
So the same as usual: plan for specific alts to get levels, switch to other alts I felt needed them more
Tyger (50), Mutation-Controller Mind/FF - oldest Mind/FF on Union

Peacebringer from 40 > 50.
Fortunata 1>14.
The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
2 arcs of First Ward in beta. That's all I played.
Instead I read 308 chapters of a manga and worked.

I never experienced the slightest lag at any point during the weekend. Now, a Mothership raid is laggy at the best of times, so you don't get any sympathy there.

Didn't really play much, waiting for Freedom really.
Got one char from 16 to 22. heh
Unfortunately was indisposed at friends'. Managed to play some on Friday night and Saturday morning though. I had intended to get Ataraxis, my Mind/Kin Controller from 27-40 to catch up with my main villain, but unfortunately he only got to 32 or 33 before I had to depart.
Bad Voodoo by @Beyond Reach. Arc ID #373659. Level 20-24. Mr. Bocor has fallen victim to a group of hooded vigilantes who have been plaguing Port Oakes, interfering with illegal operations and pacifying villain's powers. He demands that revenge is taken on these miscreants and his powers are returned! You look like just the villain for the job. Challenging.

Been a long time since I ran that many TFs in four days. ^_^
my lil RWZ Challenge vid
My only real priority was to get a stalker (BS/WP) from 43 to 50 so I can officially retire myself from the AT. See ya Stalkers until you get some dev love.
Additionally:
Elec/Energy Dom 46 to 50
Fire/Fire Tank 48.8 to 50
Axe/Dark Armor Brute 42 to 47
KM/EA Brute 1 to 4
DS/Therm MM 1 to 4 (level pacted with above)
A good half my time was on pre-existing 50s.
Global = Hedgefund (or some derivation thereof)
Got my Merc/Storm, Atmospherical, from 22 to 32 yesterday, which in MM-speak is from 'suck to awesome'. That was about it. Also fiddled a bit with StJ on the beta server.
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!
@Starflier
Russian Blue got 3/10 closer to level 39.
That's it. Emergency case on Saturday killed 13 hrs of free time and thunderstorms kept my 'net connection unstable Sunday.
ah, well... what's double XP when all my characters have maxed out patrol xp, anyway?
I had plans to get my two brutes to 50.
I got one from 41 to 48, which was pretty awesome.
I did, however, help a lot of people get tons and tons of levels, which was pretty awesome in and of itself ^_^
Life is something that happens while making other plans.
I got about half a level on many alts. Many.
The Alt Alphabet ~ OPC: Other People's Characters ~ Terrific Screenshots of Cool ~ Superhero Fiction
Well I was hoping to get a lot of my characters to at least their 30s, but I ended up spending a lot of time on beta and getting my broadsword/fire scrapper to 50. 
@Leetdeth - Virtue | MA Arcs(all challenge arcs): Big Magic Blowout! #369774 | Who Really Cares About This? Z! #509577 | That Meddling King! (teams recommended) #21450
I worked my Plant/Thorn Rogue Dom a lot over the weekend.
Went from 33-45 mostly on teams running Maria Jenkins arc or ITFs
I did some Trials with Space Spectre, my 50 Eng/Eng blaster, until I got my Lore pet.
I have a Night Widow Predator concept character that had been sitting at 40 forever, got him to 43 and did a SF I had never run before.
Oh, and it was my birthday
Ideally, the tank will die precisely as everyone else starts fighting, allowing aggro to be spread evenly among the blaster. -seebs, "How to Suck at CoH/CoV" Guide
I had limited goals, and met them, so I feel pretty good!
Got my KM/WP scrapper from 44 to 50
Got my WA/SD brute from 36 to 44, so I could solve her awful End problems with my epic pool.
Got my Earth/Rad troller from 24 to 29. Almost 30, dang it!
Altogether, very pleased!
