Wow.  I knew about BABs return, but this is wonderful!

 

Welcome Home, gang!

 

To celebrate, I'll make my family's legendary coffee cake, and eat a piece for each of you, in your honor.  😁

[Greycat]

Nice. *waves*

[DougGraves]

Wait - what does this mean?

 

They play the game?  They are working as devs again? They just dropped by to say hello?

 

In any event - HI!  Your game has brought so much joy to my life!

Of course I play the game. Why wouldn't I? 😎

Welcome home!!

[GM Crumpet]

Welcome to the original team!! Without you we would be nothing 🙂 

 

As for anything else I'm not sure how they are associated with Homecoming. I know some of them have player accounts and enjoy the fun like the rest of us, but I would ask if you do accidentally find out who their player accounts are to not bug them if they haven't revealed themselves. Everyone is entitled to privacy and anonymity if they want it. Obviously if they are in game with their associated characters and a big sign saying "Original Dev" over their head then say hi, but try not to overwhelm them. We don't want to scare them off. Devs are skittish creatures 🙂 

[Scarlet Shocker]

I think it's lovely that so many original devs play the game for their own enjoyment. Says a lot about the quality of the game overall and the love everyone involved with it has

Whoa. Here the whole time?

 

Legit.

I can assure everyone that no hero in the New Order Of Bold Superheroes (my personal SG) will out these folks.

If I did, all I would do is send them a single private message thanking them for their work as part of the team that created a game that I enjoyed for years and have been lucky enough to continue to enjoy even after its official shutdown. Maybe; I don't know how many messages they would get, and I wouldn't want to be part of flooding their in-basket.

Awesome and thank you!!!

[Marshal_General]

I remember when BABs had a baby and we dubbed it Back Alley Bawler.

[Bionic_Flea]

Welcome back
Your dreams were your ticket out
Welcome back
To that same old place that you laughed about

Well, the names have all changed
Since you hung around
But those dreams have remained
And they've turned around

Who'd have thought they'd lead you
(Who'd have thought they'd lead you)
Back here where we need you?
(Back here where we need you?)

 

* * *

And I know what a scene
You were learnin' in
Was there somethin' that
Made you come back again?

[catsi563]

Ohai new old friends you bring teh donuts?

[JasperStone]

Dear old friends

 

 

[Braddack]

OH damm, the Old Guys come back, i smell glorious Fun Times incomming.

 

WELCOME HOME ❤️

Seeing some of those OG Devs brings back some memories and made me think of some of the "habits" I have in game, mostly just me saying something in Local or Broadcast like whenever take out Column-Council trash near Wentworths in Steel I say "Stupid Nazi's"  No I now they technically aren't Nazis but they are to me.

 

Anyway.  The devs and other OGs are the source of many of these.  Whenever I am in Pocket D, Training or not, I stop at War Witch and say "Hi Melissa" then "Bye Melissa".

 

Any time I am on top of the Atlas globe I say "Thanks CuppaJo" which was from when the Babes of War won Hero's Choice Awards Best Supergroup on Freedom server at the 1 Year  Anniversary.  When we all got E-Mailed the certificate we made her an Honorary Babe on top of the globe.

 

Of course every time I see Positron (no matter where), I say "Sorry I killed you" from when I was on the test server beta testing something relating to the 5th Column and we got Mat "Positron" Miller killed right after the mission TF completed.
