That handle sounds familiar...
Welcome back!
Now go play on Virtue!
As for back items - we're getting them slowly. We have the new backpack tech which you can see with the Steampunk Pack, the Celestial Armor set, and now the latest backpack in the store. All in good time.
VoodooGirl is definitely a remembered name. 
I also see there's still that Positron nub around 
(which is good to see i should add) along with names like Arcanaville, Samuel Tow, Golden Girl, Satanic Hamster and plenty of others. Although i freely admit i was mostly a forum lurker though i did write the a couple of guides on Fire/Fire (Tanks) and Grav/Emp trollers.

I would petition to have your stuff restored if you have put any work into them. Welcome back to the game, it's a whole new experience. 
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
Ya, definitely petition support to undelete those characters.

Ah Zombie Man, another name from way back when. As for the toons, nah they were either little toons or had been fillers for friends grinding AE on the few weekends i'd looked in on the game. They're no loss. Rather play a main back up properly to cap.
I haven't really looked yet, but is there a current version of the old planner? Also, are the Map mods for badging etc still maintained and...where's the best place to go looking for updated keybind/macro info? The wiki or the guides forum?
Cheers
*edit* Also, what's with the daily maintenance? Second night back (I'm Aussie) and both times maintenance has gutted any real chance of play time. Is this just related to the Freedom thing or is it "normal"?

It's relatively recent - we've been getting a lot more frequent and lengthy downtime than normal for the last month or three. Which isn't entirely surprising with such a major new update.|

Remains to be seen how long it'll take to go back to normal (if it ever will).
The big downtimes appear to be an 'adjustment period' thing. A lot of stuff is being changed under the hood, apparently.
Story Arcs I created:
Every Rose: (#17702) Villainous vs Legacy Chain. Forget Arachnos, join the CoT!
Cosplay Madness!: (#3643) Neutral vs Custom Foes. Heroes at a pop culture convention!
Kiss Hello Goodbye: (#156389) Heroic vs Custom Foes. Film Noir/Hardboiled detective adventure!
Welcome back, Dread! Always good to have another cape in town. See you around!

Check out the link in my Sig for Guide to Guides and search that thread for badges for how-to guides for specific badges or for macros/binds for that info.

Thanks for the info Zombie, sorry for the slow reply. I have been ill for the last several days and not on much.
First goal will be to set up my keybinds...ugh

So i decided with Freedom to come back and check things out again. I use to play under the @handle Infernius on Victory.
I'm enjoying it again, Freedom seems to have breathed some new life into the old girl so to speak. When i quit and the few times i tried to come back i hated it because of all the changes and the almost empty zones cause of AE farms.
So far the highlights for me are getting my cape and travel power right from the start of the game (well lvl 4 for the travel power) and just seeing how the zones have been updated. Customisation has made my preferred character style finally playable (i'm playing a SS/Inv Brute as a hero).
Some minor things i have noticed - nowhere was i told (that i could find) what global unlocks were and i ended up deleting all my old characters as i thought there was no way i would be able to play them again (before deciding to VIP for a month). Also, i was disappointed to note that you still can only have capes or nothing on your back, no slung weapons or scabbards still? surely they couldn't be that hard to implement and i personally feel it detracts from a characters "style" alot to have guns/swords etc just spawn from thin air when you use your powers.
All in all though kudos to the dev's for what seems a pretty solid f2p model and revamp of the game.
P.S. I see some of the old school people i used to read posts from and post alongside back in the day which is good to see. I always felt this game had one of the better communities. If any of you old geezers :P remember me shoot me a pm so i can pick your brains on things like incarnates and IO's and so on.
