Bill, you don't know me and I'm not a creepy stalker, but thank-you for all you have contributed. I've seen your info. posted many times on forums, adding to the community.
I've probably teamed with you with my 60+ alts (I take medicine for the alt-itis. I got it cheap from the trolls in the Hollows)
COX was so different from other MMO's I'd always come back to it after I was bored or annoyed with other MMO's.
Farewell Bill, and the rest of you all! Not sure if I'm going to move to another MMO, either.

I don't recognise any of the names... but goodbye to to them all. Please post screenshots and bios when you can.
And goodbye to you, I remember your posts.
Always remember, we were Heroes once.
Always remember, we were Heroes.
Bye to all of you. All of me will miss you, too.

So, at the moment, I'm posting a list of characters - "all of me," as it were. No bragging, I'm an altaholic, I know it. But something to think on - most MMOs don't really encourage this. You end up as "Fighter #8907234" or "Mage #987987432" or whatnot, just a few standards, and personally I can't get into them. But this list... even the characters that repeat names (different servers, taken from my CIT list) - each is different. Different reasons for being. They're all *individuals,* in a way. Some aren't fleshed out much, some have long, complicated backstories. Some are soloists, some have long interactions with friends and other characters. But I haven't been able - or *interested* - in doing this in any other game, not even those that let you have more than a very few characters. Each has been an adventure, no matter what level they're at - either a logn one, or one with much promise of what's to come, to see how THEY perform, what stories THEY could tell. Each one's a thank you for this unique gift that was COH. And so, thank you and goodbye from them all... and those missing, and the couple duplicates from server hops and the like. |

Like BurnSucka said as well, I don't think we ever crossed paths at all but I want to thank you for all of your Peacebringer information in the Kheldian forums. Your builds and advice were very helpful for my fledgling Peacebringer. Good luck to you!
Bill, was an honor buddy!
Tic-Toc, aka BABS-- you rocked. Thanks so much for your time here.
I am going to really miss everyone. This is a bummer.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

But I'll take "to shut me up finally" too.
Dang, I think you may actually have me beat for number of characters....

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.
Whenever I was browsing the forums there were some names I'd look out for, knowing that their comments would be interesting, insightful and/or funny. Your name was at the top of that list... just above Power.
(ahem, I kid...)
And your asides about having 200+ characters were reassuring to a fellow altoholic such as myself.
All the best.
Wow. You were a worse altaholic than me.

Love you Bill, even if you made me pull my hair out during that phase when you were annoyed with the game. You're a good man.

Bill, it was nice knowing you, and I hope that I run into you at some point in the future at some other game!

Hey Bill,
I don't think we ever played together (not too surprising as I'm primarily a soloist),
but we've certainly commented in several of the same threads, and even talked
PB's a time or two, so you're definitely familiar to me and I've enjoyed reading
your posts over the years.
Very Best Wishes to You and Yours. I Hope we DO see you again somewhere, somewhen.
Regards,

I'm proud to say I have gotten to team with Bill a couple times over the years. Never enough.

See you around. Who knows, CoH might survive in some format.
I have no idea whether we ever teamed Bill but you should know that it was your guide to Kheldian lore that got me fascinated with them, that made me overcome my altisis so that I could get a character to 50 and claim my prize.
Many years later, a powerful Warshade is my most played character and I still love him so thanks for instilling that passion in me. Happy trails wherever you go.

Thanks, Bill. I'm not sure if we've teamed before, as very few of those names sounded familiar, but your posts always contained something to think about and your Kheld Lore collection certainly helped convince me to make Prismatic Surge and GlücklichKaninchen. Thank you for that, certainly, as I enjoyed my Kheldcharacters immensely. My Peacebringer for a chance to really weave the game's lore deep into my background. (She was one of the possession targets in the Moonfire Task Force.) My Warshade, on the other hand, was a bit of a comedic character, but man, those are some insane powers they gain!
Thanks again.
There'll be a lot of these, I'm sure.
