My characters and time on Victory

I had some pretty hard feelings at first. It was a shock, and I didn't really see it comming the way it did. I felt the game could go on for quite some time as it seemed to get better over it's run. They kept it up to date with graphics tweeks, and the physX stuff over the years. Sigh...

I had a pretty long post thought out, but in the end... I guess it doesn't matter really.

Like Ham, I was lured here in the begining by some counter strike clan mates. They all dropped off within a year, and I was left to my own devices. I will relate where my namesake came from though, as I find it amusing to this day...

So, me and a couple guys got this idea after seeing the Skulls in Perez Park for the first time. We all made "Bone" caracters, there was Bone Mommy, Bone Stepchild, and me Bonebaby. We'd go around Perez and watch people fiting the skulls mobs. Bone Mommy would yell profanities at the Bone Daddys as they were getting beat up, and me and Bone Stepchild would cry and ask them not to hurt our Daddy :P

Well they all quit playing and drifted on, Bonebaby stayed and played on. I remember tanking for one of the first successful public hami raids, and all the tankers were yelling nerf on regen scrappers! The nerf finally happened, and I didn't really play Bone much afterwards. He really was stupidly overpowered, but I couldn't find it in me to play something that was such a shadow of the former glory. I mean, I don't think I died once until I was in my very late 40s...

Anyway, this ended up a lot longer than I really wanted. Thanks for Isolators Ham, it's probably the only thing that kept me "in the game" for the last year or so. I will miss everybody when the servers go dark.

I'll run in Isos to the end, that's about it I suppose

Boy was I saddened to hear this news. I was at Dragon*Con, going to the CoH meet and greet when the bombshell was dropped. While I havnt been in the game for a bit, it will always be the MMO that has the most meening to me.
Thru the years I formed many friendships. Some even out of game. Ill always remember leading The old Hamidon Raids, My SG friends, the Isolators, as well as some verbal wars with a certain Bobby Bomb ( may he R.I.P.). I have thru the years had friends find love on here and get married, or lost some way to soon before their time ( and I hope all can take a moment to remember them such as the afformentioned Bobby Bomb, Bubbles ( who many of you may not have known) and Death Conqueror, who was a guy who was always there for people, and I was proud to have known). Ill miss the bickering and in fighting that Hamster and Voodoo have, and the crazyness that happens when teaming with those two. Victory by far had the best collection of personalitys, it is why we are so much better then Freedumb.
So I am deeply sadded to see a game that was so much more then, just a video game, come to an end. I hope to see many of you in other games. As what made this game a success over others were the personality of the players in it.

Bobby Bomb was a racist little serial lying channel taking over sack of crap. I remember him every time I flush the toilet.

I remember that channel day. Ugh, I was caught in the cross fire.

Ahhh, good times. Good times..

Oh, and before the end? I'm posting my playernotes file.

Why wait. Even less reading the forums now. And the server is a ghost town anyway

I've already forgotten about most of you
