Quick! Name a "Classic" Legacy Story Arc You Haven't Played in Years!!
How far back does it have to be to count as a legacy arc?
Generally, a lot of people seem to draw a line between pre-GR and post-GR content, but that would mean that Faultline, the RWZ, the Midnighters, Cimerora and Ouroboros would count as legacy content, even though they feel more modern.

Envoy of Shadows. Why would I ever touch that one again, except on my character who's doing every single (blueside) mission available on her way up? (And yeah, she is level 37, so... soon...)

Harvey Maylor's interminable arc about the Bands of Shu and so on is also incredibly tedious.
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
I wanted to, but never really got around to World Wide Red or The Eternal Nemesis.
to TO THE END!
Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

The clockwork one where you eventually save the family from the clockwork. Used an auto speed shop motif over the usual warehouse decor for the final mission (which was added as the original arc simply used the generic warehouse map for the final mission).

Oh Wretched Man. And most of the other lower level villian arcs. My latest red side character seemed to get to level 20 really fast and then it was tips to read through the new stuff there, a couple of the villian SSAs to see that side of the story and then First Ward to do it non-Ouro style.
TBH, I haven't played a lot of villians so there are big chunks of red side I haven't played even once.
Terra Conspiracy. I keep missing it. I keep planning on Ouro-ing it.
And for temp powers... the one with the chameleon device that turns you into a sorta-freakshow.
You name it, I probably haven't played it.
I think the last time I ran anything was Johnny Sonota's arc redside, and the next to the last mission left a really bad taste in this solo-player's mouth (huge map, find and lead four hostages, etc.).
The other reason is that I've grown pretty bored of solo playing and almost always PUG, as I alt around too much for an SG. PUGs very very rarely in my expoerience ever do anything other than trials, radios and tips (I'm sure some of you will pop up here and tell me otherwise and good for you, just that my milage has varied).
I've given the Freaklympics a pass ever since Striga and Croatoa came into being, which is a bit of a shame since I love fighting Freakshow and it awards one of my favorite badges.
I always do Faultline-Striga-Croatoa now, so anything else that might happen in that 20 level stretch is going to be ignored.
On the other hand, I do whichever lowbie and 35+ missions I get from contacts, so I have run Crimson and Indigo and Angus and Harvey at least once in the last four months.
I've lately come to find out that a huge part of the player base isn't even aware of Striga Island. That's a damned shame, as it's one of the best zones available to blue-side folks.
Things I hate: Anime. PvP. Lying MMO Developers. Outleveling content. Manga. ED. Comic Store Employees. Anime.

Also, Freaklymics/Freakshow War arcs.
The latter two are still a couple of my favorite arcs in the game.
Took me about 10 seconds to come up with an answer.

Vazhilok Plague - ugh, endurance gimping for fun? I think not.

I play a lot of alts, and unless I'm on a TF, I solo. I prefer story arcs, so there is literally NO story arc in the game that fits the "You haven't played in years" criteria.
@Roderick
Talshak's Heart of the Hollows, though. I had to run that back in December when I got Rose Dawn to 50. I hadn't run it but once back in I4 or such. o.0
Wasn't the same though. I had a better computer, Rose was well stocked with slots even exemplared, and although we had a little trouble here and there... we pretty much steamrolled through the last mission.
The previous single time, the local lag trying to draw all that crap going on just made it... difficult, let's say. And we had SUCH a time getting people to the obelisks and timing it right... Way more fun/challenging back then.
It's really pretty in there, though. Got some good screenies this time. Good times, good times.
/Yes, only twice have I run that one.
//Seems odd to me, anyway.
///It *was* years... but now it's only months. Still.

Freak olympics, or whatever it's called. I ran that once, way back, when I was leveling Palrah and haven't seen it since.
@Brightfires - @Talisander
That chick what plays the bird-things...
I started "Burning Dreck," which is as close to an "origin of the Freakshow" arc as you get, on a character some months or years back and have yet to finish it.
I have also never, ever done "Ubelmann the Unknown" (either version). That's the only "legacy" hero arc I can think of that I've never done.

I alt fairly heavily. My SGs don't mind - since I'm almost guaranteed to have something at any level. Also, hook up with the server (or global) channels - I don't know how you're just seeing tips, radios and trials, since (aside from the DFB near-spam) I see calls for task forces, mission teams and the like fairly frequently.
Poke around for some new channels.
