Channels:
1. BMT of Champion - Ask @Cherry Cupcakes or @Born Again Pingu for a channel invite.
2. Champions United - I believe it's open to join, but it also may be full
Alpha slot: Requires Going Rogue. It basically acts as a global enhancement. The further up the tier ladder you go, the more powerful the global enhancement. Once you have Going Rogue, you can obtain it by running a mission arc from Mender Ramiel in Ouroboros, or by running Incarnate trials. It's been a couple of months since I played City of Heroes, but most Incarnate trials were formed up in the Rikti War Zone, and most likely still are.

- TankHQ ;]
- RWZ - "LFT"
- The first level of Incarnate powers (it's a set of extra buffs pretty much), Mender Ramiel's arc in Ouroboros is one way to unlock it, Going Rogue is required
- Post a build in the Archetypes area people will pretty quickly respond like always
- I remember you, WB.
I seem to remember you from ages ago. 4 years is a long time, so I can't really be sure.
1) All my global channels seem to be gone. Where do the cool kids hang these days?
- Global channels are plentiful nowadays. I personally can invite you to BMT of Champion, Darkguard Network, and Champion Trials. There are several others, but since I'm not a member of a lot of them and can't speak for their effectiveness, I'll let the proponents of those channels chime in if they want.
2) WTF is an alpha slot, and how do I get one?
- http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Alpha_Slot - This will explain it better than I can, but you do have to have Going Rogue to obtain it. Also, Going Rogue will not be part of Freedom and must still be purchased separately.
3) Anyone around willing to help with character builds? If the hero-builder is any indication this is not the same game I left..
- I can help with some builds depending on what they are (I'm pretty terribad at melee builds honestly) but you're right, the game has changed a lot since i10.
Hopefully this helps out a bit.
Thanks.. I'll check those out tonight. I used to be a master at character builds but IOs really make it much more complicated.
Are you sure about Going Rogue? The description of the VIP benefits in this link seem to indicate it's included (if you're subscribed).

Going Rogue is still a separate purchase atm, but will become free for VIP members that never bought it once Freedom launches. If you look at the online NCSoft store, you'll notice that it specifically states that Going Rogue will no longer be available after August 29, 2011.

Its quiet at the moment but some of us are still around. its not as big as it used to be, however, I'm sure we'll see a few more making it back to the game. Give me a yell when I'm on and I'll hook you up with global channels, SGs and such.

My bad, I was under the impression that GR would still have to be purchased separately since I knew that Free and Premium accounts wouldn't have access to it. Hadn't noticed that it would become free for VIP.

Also, only VIPs will have access to the Incarnate system. If you let your subscription expire and go Premium any Incarnate powers you have will stop functioning until you resume VIP status.
