What is it going to take to get you to move to Virtue today?

Virtue's the only server I've ever played on, really. (The alts transferred to cold storage on Infinity, and the one character I made on Freedom for an event and/or to gape in sick fascination at how awful AP is there, don't count.)

Now, if you asked (as I first thought this subject did) what it would take to get me to move off of Virtue, I think a loaded gun pointed at some part of my anatomy would have to be involved.

Started on Virtue way back when. Got too crowded for me. Been steadily transferring all favored characters to other less populated servers where I rarely encounter other players.

One thing you can take away from the thread...people are dedicated and have an almost religious type of fanatic attachment to their servers

What moves me to Virtue? Tragedy.

After an answer like that a story or 2 seems in order.

1st story is very simple. Coalition had broken up and the breakup was nasty. Because I neither wanted to attack anyone or BE attacked, I switched over to Virtue for a week or 2. (Yeah, as forum stories go that was pretty bland.)

2nd story is also simple. Just over a year ago I got chicken pox at age 42. After the first few days I was able to play again, but my focus was erratic and my sleep schedule was all over the place. I couldn't leave my house but I wanted to talk to ANYone other than immediate family, often at 3 am. Enter Virtue, the land of the 24/7 iTrial. This was the release I needed so very desperately. I could play, talk, and still contribute. Oh and I built up enough threads and merits to unlock incarnate slots for all of my other 50s.

Already on Virtue. Been there for over 4 years.

Also have 50s on every server.

Some played a lot some not at all.

Most played toons are on virtue and freedom, as those are the ones that seems to be able to form ANY trial more easily.

Judging from the kind of weak teams the LFG tool tends to assemble when left to its own devices, it's no surprise trying to rely on it exclusively instead of entering a queue with pre-formed leagues resulted in lots of failure.

Guardian's been dead since I8, by my lights. If I hadn't started playing on virtue about the same time I started on Guardian I'd have moved there forever ago.

Union. First server I played on when EU CoH went retail. 48 character slots. 7 years. Names I wouldn't get on Virtue.

If they ever got rid of Union, I would never return to this game. As it stands, I could do with some more character slots on Union, what with Nature Affinity, Bio Armour and Water Blast coming soon.

For me to make the move to Virtue it would probably take quite a few beers followed by something like this:

Let us turn this thread around....

What would it take for a Virtue player to transfer to Union!!!

What does napalm in the morning smell like?

That's right.

Victory.

I would never, never, never, ever go on Virtue.

Nope.

Never.

And I certainly haven't chilled at Cape Radio Shows.

I mentioned earlier that Protector is where my friends are... but my friends are apparently all on vacation or dead. Time will tell.

I've been playing on Virtue and it's been nice to have iTrials running non-stop into the wee hours of the morning on weeknights. Over the course of a few days I took a flat 50 up to +3, T4 on one ability, and T3 on all but two others. It's crazy - would have taken me months on Protector.

Not a single global friend out of all that, but it's been fun. Can't wait for my friends on Protector to come back or self-rez.

I visit Virtue once a year to help out the Real World Hero folks. That's it. Otherwise, it's Justice all the way.
