Back in 2005 I played my first year almost every day until around 3am. Left to go to work around 7:30 and spent the time at work before I started my day looking up which powers to take. Then I set off, filing the papers while thinking about my build.
Couldn't do that now, that was my 24 year old body. Today that would bloody kill me.:P
You combine a ton of awesome features and great community and it makes CoH feel like a comfortable home. I think that's what draws us all in. I can obviously relate and I too am finding a fresh start great. Being mindful of not burning myself out too.
