Bingo_Bob Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Sometimes you don't know what you got til it's gone. I may not have been a super avid CoH player. But once it was gone I could never find a MMORPG that could compare. I've always proclaimed this as being one of the best games I've ever played. I was just talking to a coworker. They said they were just getting back into WOW. I told them about CoH. They had never heard of it so we looked up the wiki page. And to my surprise it said the server source code was released in 2019!!! I'm scared. Is this for real? Am I dreaming? I'm afraid to play. What if it's not as sweet as my memories of this game. I had a character named PeacePipe. He had long dreds and a tie-die shirt. I just ran around all the time joining random parties and healing anyone who would have me. I loved to target noobs who were going down into the sewers for their first time, and just heal them and answer their basic questions. 10 1

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it.

And yes, it is still the best MMO. 2
PeregrineFalcon Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 I had this same concern when I started playing again last year. I thought "the game-play isn't going to be as good as I remember." And, "I'll end up not liking it because the graphics are bad compared to what I've been playing for the last eight years." I now have multiple 50's and 40+ other characters. Turns I that the graphics didn't matter and that I love playing the game just as much now as I did back then. Welcome back to Paragon City! 🙂 2 Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own.

The P2W vendors provide some early access to unlock capabilities. Also the character/costume creator has a lot more options available.

Veloice Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Welcome home! I can only speak for myself, but I had the same worries - what if it wasn't as good as I remembered? If I tried it again, it might never be the same. But after so many years of pining and rose-tinted memories, I can confidently say it lives up to my memories incredibly well. I'm sure it will for yours, too.
