Maybe CoH is too specific. A more general theme may attract a broader audience. How about just comics?

Yes! This is a great idea! Some kind of organized gathering for comic lovers! A sort of... Comics Convention! A comic con!

 

It'll be the first of its kind!

Some really great replies!

It could be hosted at one of the big 3 Con ((GenCon DragonCon Origins)) as a Homecoming meet and greet held at one of the resturants or even during convention slots. The picturee is from GenCon 07.  We met at the Hard Rock (Friday) and then at a upper floor resturant and bar on Saturday Night we had a blast

do they still have big gaming places anywhere?

I think this was a "Meet and Greet" event in May 2006 at Howie's Game Shack.

The company's execs and developers rented out Howie's and gave away cheap gameplay, along with prizes. Richard Garriott, known as Lord British to Ultima fans, showed up.

Had my fist Monster energy drink there...

We don't need to reinvent the wheel,

 

But we could proliferate the wheel to other AT's.  And the Tier 9 could be totally swapped out.

I attended a meet and greet in Austin one year, it was a kickoff party for Tabula Rasa as well as a CoH get together held at a Dave and Buster's. 

 

That was when I discovered Rowr wasn't just a silly catgirl but a really cool player too (Actually knew that before, but always good to reinforce the notion.) 

 

Swag was procured, people were taking pics with Ghost Widow and Lord British (Richard Garriot), and drinking way too much while playing skee-ball.

That might take too long, depending on how many flats they bring with them.

Superhero aficionado mmorpg event.   SAME. 
 

That opens it to champions, ship of idiots, lost city of titans, w/e

 

I did my part.  I gave you a name.  Now go out and be the SAME

Sounds like an origin story...

I have used a Comic Con as part of an origin story before.   Fucking hilarious and confusing and fun

[BurtHutt]

Well, I like this idea a lot! I would be interested.

 

Until then, how about a virtual meet with the Dev team? Covid lockdown made this the norm. It might be fun having a Bringing in the New Year virtual meet. Ideally, it'd be more like a panel where we could ask the Devs stuff and so on.
