Returning to CoX after being away for over a year

Hello All,

I'm returning to City of Heroes after being away for some time. I have to admit that although the game is still very familiar, quite a bit has changed in the past year or so I've been away.

I notice that Virtue and Freedom seem to be the most active servers but I really want to make Exalted my home now that I'm back.

I'll be joining most of the channels listed in the sticky but I still have a few questions:

1) What's the most active RP gathering spot? On Virtue it still appears to be Pocket D but the last few times I stopped by Pocket D on Exalted it was empty. Just wondering if it's timing or if the RPers gather somewhere else.

2) How's the activity on the Hero and Villain sides? I plan on starting some new characters in Praetoria but was wondering where the most activity is once I finish that zone.

2a) What are the most active Groups (Hero and Villain)? I'd like to join an active SG/VG and start getting back into the swing of Task/Strike Forces and such.

3) Are there any costume contests being sponsored by any groups? I really enjoyed those on both Pinnacle and Virtue the last time I played regularly.

Hope to meet the Exalted community in game as I get back into the groove. ;-)

I mostly hang out on Infinity, but occasionally visit Exalted. It always seems empty there to me. Even my online friends tend to do their own thing.

I haven't seen a costume contest in some time. Everyone is too busy running through the sewers or doing the trials.

I hope you are able to hook up with some active players there. Welcome back to CoH.


Every day I wake up is a good day.

Welcome back, I've noticed that the player population declines on Exalted when NCSoft isn't having a Loyalty Incentive (Don't leave us for another MMORPG). Players from other servers come to Exalted to avoid the F2Pers and Preems who are looking to only do DFB or AE to get to 50. They also come to get away from the drama on their home servers that they may or may not have started.

Praetorian Origin characters, well since i21 where you can start any of the basic AT's out as hero or villain, Praetorians have kinda fallen by the way-side.

As for RP, well Virtue is still the queen, there are some RP SHG/SVG's out there so hit up the Help or LFG channels in the game. You can also ask in EXALTED-UNITED, Exalted Events, or BMT of Exalted, anyone can join those by typing /chanjoin and that channel's name. E-U's for anything you possibly could want, farms, ae, PL, ect. BMToE's for those badge whores out there looking for like minded individuals who want Badges for Monsters and TF's/SF's/Trials. EE's for the random events, trials, seasonal events and CC's.

Welcome back and hope you enjoy Exalted.

More heroes than vills. I'm west coast, so by the time I log, I see less than 50 vills logged. When I run a DA team, it's mostly heroes and maybe 1 or 2 vills other than me.

I can invite your vill to my VG so I can find you when I run SFs. Send tell to Chigong Jen on Wed, after 8 PM Pacific Time for invite. Also check the Exalted calendar managed by cherry.

Mirrormen held a Villain CC last month I think.
