Flee for your lives! Flee!
Just kidding! Welcome to all the new players!
Welcome to the new players!
Spleeeee!
I'm glad all of Freedom is here!
That said, I hate the new website.
Where is all the old content?
Where is all the information about past issues?
Patch notes?
Server status?
lore?
Coh.com is useless to anyone but new free players. It has nothing for returning Premium players or current VIPs.
Justice is my Home!
Check out Mathematicians gone wonky in The Black Theorem (Arc 3608)!
Welcome to all the new players.
That was an awesome, EPIC trailer. 
(Bugs below.)
The video you embedded on the website's splash page crashed my Firefox 5 browser (but, I probably need to upgrade since Firefox 7 just came out today).
It loaded it up fine in Chrome, except after full-screening and leaving full-screen after watching, my whole browser window was black and I had to refresh.

If you only read one guide this year, make it this one.
Super Reflexes: the Golden Fox of power sets!
WARNING: I bold names.
Also, the trailer on YouTube is "unlisted" (only people you give the link to can see it). Probably not what you intended from a PR perspective.

Positron: "There are no bugs [in City of Heroes], just varying degrees of features."
This makes me very happy
And for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, you really need to go check out the new Trailer on the main website.
@Golden Girl
City of Heroes comics and artwork
They may take our lives*, but they will never take...OUR FREEDOMMMMM!
* Seriously, this game can be quite addicting.

Neat!
HOWEVER. Details. Pay attention to them, web-people.
None of the links outside the 'contents' box on the minisite (i.e. the 'signature story arcs', 'play for free', 'come back to play' and 'become a VIP' ones) work. They're ...en/news/freedom/... rather than ...en/about_freedom/... as they should be, thus 404s.
The 'Learn More' on the main-site splash page is 403ing too.
Character references! Artz! Whatnot!

A better way to view the FREEDOM trailer is with this link (and even better to download it and view):

I knew this was gonna be a good day, not only did Freedom launch and my second lapsed account become activated as premium, but also I have been married 10 awesome years today.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
Happy anniversary, 2short! I'd highly recommend spending the evening with the missus, though, if you want to make it another 10.

FINALLY!
After four years, a balls-to-the-walls, OMG-I-want-to-play-this-NOW trailer that the game has needed and deserved! (And I want that music!) THIS was the ad that should have been shown at SDCC...
Wow. And now that we have weekly content/market/stuff, I can go back into retirement. The ads are now in good hands.

Michelle sells herself short, but I agree with the sentiment -- this is the best City of Heroes game trailer you've made, even better than the Invasion trailer at the beginning of the 2nd Rikti War.|

I linked a second, intended-to-be-premium account to my game account, and got an error message in the browser when I tried to buy some Paragon Points for it.
Edited to add: Problem went away when I went back to the cityofheroes.com page, re-entered Account Management from there, and tried again. *shrug* Beats me what happened.

"Striving for the impossible" doesn't mean "toiling in vain". It means growth. It means improvement in the direction of your ideals. Not futility.

1. Go to coh.com (redirected to http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/freedom.php )
2. Click "Learn More" (redirected to http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/about_freedom/ )
3. Get 403 Forbidden error. This happens if you go to cityofheroes.com as well.
The only way to get to the useful site is the link in this post (http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/about_...m_overview.php) but that page is all kinds of weird and messed up. The outer edges are all white now, and the "Back to Top" link is three pictures (http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7467/badsite.png )
When you click "Home" on the main page, and are redirected to http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/index.php , that pages is also messed up (http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/4250/badsite2.png ).
Yay!
Welcome to all you new and returning players (including my partner, yay!)
Oh, and the new trailer is pretty epic.
