At least you know the new players will have fun seeing as this game kicks butt
Awesome trailer is all I got to say.
WOW!
The new front page isn't displaying correctly on Firefox 7. The link to click through to the main page doesn't show up, so you are stuck on the trailer video screen.
Here's a screenshot.

Charged Aegis, 50 Shield/Elec Tank- Virtue
Frozen Thunder, 50 Ice/Storm Controller- Virtue
Lex Talionis, 50 Bots/Traps MM - Victory
With Explorer 9 no links to move off the front page where displayed the first few times I tried (I think they hide behind the video).
However, as of a couple of minutes ago it looks like someone made some changes and it now displays correctly for me.

Some times, I'm reminded why I like the CoH community as much as I do. Logged on to Freedom and flew over to the Atlas Park stairs to help any new players with whatever questions they might have. Turns out, there were already several people there doing just that. In all three instances of AP. That's just awesome.
And there was an NCSoft sever guy on top of the globe in AP1. Quiet fellow that one.

The video is almost as good as one from Samuraiko, but it falls a little short. I can't quite put my finger on what's missing, though...
Really, you guys should just hire her.

The website looks better now, maybe because I'm at home? But the work/home thing never made the website look different (it just reset all my viewed threads :'( ).
Speaking of the website, now that Statesman and the Clockwork are dynamic and moving, any chance people who like some resolution to things could actually see them clash? I'm really kind of expecting it now, and I imagine I'm going to be perpetually let down...
Nice vid promo & welcome all ye new bloods.

I'm being screwed. This is a slap in the face. This is not the way to retain me as a customer. Other people became VIP through much less effort. The devs don't listen. Don't pee your yellow name down my back and tell me its raining. This should have been included in Going Rogue. This is just a naked attempt to squeeze more money out of me. Other MMOs would have made me a VIP by now. The community team should be ashamed. I deserve a refund. This is like buying a sink and then one day the sink needs a new drain stopper because the peel from the banana split you ate yesterday got stuck in the screen but now your cable company wants to charge you for ESPN 3 and you won't be able to watch Jamaican hockey because you spent all your money on a new drain stopper and its all Home Depot's fault.

Apparently, Freedom has broken our Arcanaville.

I love the video.
The characters' costumes are nice selections and the music is also excellent.
It got me rather psyched to go play! And I was already playing!
Hello and welcome (welcome back), everyone!
Leave your preconceptions at the door and have some fun!

I think he's trying to figure out how to casually purple out his warshade.
Zwill... is there any way you can make Arcanaville's forum handle permanently white?
Or, at least, just reset it to white now and then?

Bravo on the trailer!! Love the reveal on the rooftop. Hehe...
Though it does make me miss the fast paced days of PvP from long ago.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Welcome new players, and good luck naming your character, all the good names are taken.
An MMO closure is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for players to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the developers than on the publisher. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal.
