Marine X Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Artificially Generationally Old: My Father was born in 1918, then waited to Marry till he was in his late 30s ( 1954 ), then I was the 5th of 6 children ( 1964 ). He built us a Photo Lab, bought us early Computers ( He thought they would be important ) and encouraged us to explore Art and Music. He was a Welder. Never had Grandparents on either side. Now a member of the oldest living generation of my Family at 57. Started City of Heroes about 2 Months after Launch because It took a while get DSL installed in my House. I was 40, and was a little nervous that I would be thought of as a Creepy old Guy, playing with a bunch of Kids and all that. Turned out to Not be quite as weird as I thought it would.

Hew Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 4 hours ago, Ukase said: Back in those days, the most controversial thing was the sound of a toilet flushing on All in the Family. I even remember when Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham) was the star of the show, Happy Days, and had a big brother, Chuck, who disappeared early in season 2, and was even portrayed by more than one actor. Andy Griffith Show, as Opie. Im not sure what Ron Howard was in that predated Opie days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NyxiaSnow Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) I started playing the game with my parents when I just started elementary/primary school (When I couldn't play without their supervision 😅) and rejoined Homecoming half way through my undergrad! I'm really glad to be back, loads of memories wrapped up in this game of me and my parents making alts when it rained outside.

Klinkenhammer Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I'm 53. I usually lurk and rarely post on forums like this but I'll un-lurk for this. I started CoH (2004? I think.) when it was in open beta and played until 2011 or so. I distinctly remember getting at least my 78 month veteran subscriber accolade. I remember bugging my dad for quarter when I was a kid to play the new spiffy arcade game Pong at the local Pizza Hut. When I was 9 I'd go to the Sears and spend my modest allowance playing the arcade games there. I've been gaming ever since. I have fond memories of my Commodore 64 playing EA games when they weren't a greedy huge corporation yet. I have mixed feelings about getting older. The gray hair is a constant reminder, the things I should have done and/or could have done. But I won't annoy you folks with such ramblings. Suffice to say, I'm glad I stumbled across this server 2 years ago. Still my favorite MMO of all time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benchpresser2000 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I was 30 at launch. Now I'm 47. I started playing back in September due to a random search on city of heroes for some reason. I can't believe it's back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Git off the Atlas Park lawn! 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (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. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm 36. I was just finishing up my first year of college when the game launched and played mostly until sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
