That sounds awesome, and though I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the afternoon events, I think the trip down memory lane idea should be part of it either way, that really sounds like a fun time. I'm already thinking of Heats first time through the Hollows, I HATED Frostfire lol.
Thanks to everyone that helped make me a welcomed part of the community, and for giving me over 3 years of some of the best gaming I've been able to take part in. May the next game bring many friendships and maybe reconnect to some old CoH friends.
First post updated with essential event locations and times!

It was a great weekend. We did not get quite the turnout we were hoping for, but then again, people are slowly moving on and I get that. So for those of you that showed up for the Winter event on Friday, the Maria Jenkins Arc on Saturday, and the Nostalgia mission and Ship Raid on Sunday: Thank you. I am glad we got to celebrate 1 year on the Pinnacle server. I only wish we could look forward to more.
Below are a few screen shots I took prior to the ship raid. They aren't great, but I tried to get everyone at least once. If anyone would like the original files, feel free to PM me with an email address (and which pic you want) and I'll be happy to send them!

The Talsorian Guard has been active for 1 year, and though this will be both our first and last anniversary, we still want to celebrate it. And because you, the players of Pinnacle server, accepted the group so openly as your weekly ship raid leaders, we want to invite you to attend the weekend festivities with us.
SCHEDULE
Friday, November 9th, 8pm CST: Winter Storm
Saturday, November 10th, 2pm CST: An Afternoon With Maria
Sunday, November 11th, 2pm CST: Talsorian Scavenger Hunt
Sunday, November 11th, 8:30pm CST: Sunday Night Ship Raid
EVENT DETAILS
Winter Storm - Since the Winter Event will be active this weekend, we are taking advantage of it! We will form a few teams, farm a zone for the Winter Horde, and then take down the Winter Lord when he spawns. Next, we'll head to Pocket D to talk to Father Time and figure out where Lady Winter is causing mischief and we'll take her out too. Finally, we'll form a league and head to the Winter Realm to knock Lord Winter and his Guardians on their frigid snowy backsides! MEET IN: STEEL CANYON.
An Afternoon with Maria - One of the most classic and well-known arcs in the game is that of Maria Jenkins, because it takes the player through nearly all of the Praetorian archvillains. We'd like to do it one last time, all in an afternoon! We will run as many teams as needed to handle the number of people that show up. MEET IN: OUROBOROS.
Talsorian Scavenger Hunt - We, the members of the Talsorian Guard, will hide ourselves throughout the city, and you have to find us! We will publish a starting point, where you'll find one of our members waiting for you. From him/her, you will receive a piece of common salvage, and a clue as to the location of the next Talsor you will have to find. Once you have found Talsor #2, you will turn in the salvage in exchange for a new piece of salvage and the next clue. So on and so forth, until you reach the last Talsor (probably about 5 or 6 total), where you'll receive your prize. [EDIT] There will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes, with a consolation INF prize for anyone who finishes. Players are welcome to participate as individuals or on teams of up to 8 players, however teams will be treated as "1 player" and therefore will receive one prize to be divided as seen fit by the members of the team. The first clue will only be available from 2pm to 2:30pm CST.[/EDIT] STARTING POINT: TALSOR VOX, BRIEFING/LECTURE ROOM, VANGUARD BASE, RIKTI WAR ZONE.
If things happen and enough Talsors are unable to make the scavenger hunt event, we will be hosting the below event instead:
A Trip Down Memory Lane - We invite you for a few hours of nostalgia. Bring your first and/or favorite, character, and recreate their first costume as closely as possible. Then we'll head to Ouroboros and run some of the favorite classic arcs (like Frostfire for example), recreating the days that first hooked you on City of Heroes.
Finally, for the ship raid on the 11th, we ask that everyone show up to Point Du Hoc a full 15 minutes before invites are set to begin. If you would indulge us, we would like to get a couple screenshots of the full league doing the military salute emote before the raid begins.
We hope to see you there! Questions and Comments can be posted here.
