High_Beam Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) 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.

I mean Sadako was forming and Posi asked if he could join, wanted regular player feedback. I wanna say it was Kahn but I am not sure. 1 Girls of Nukem High - Excelsior - Tempus Fabulous, Flattery, Jennifer Chilly, Betty Beatdown, Totally Cali, Two Gun Trixie Babes of War - Excelsior - Di Di Guns, Runeslinger, Munitions Mistress, Tideway, Hard Melody, Blue Aria Several alts and of course my original from live on Freedom, OG High Beam (someone else has her non OG name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeregrineFalcon Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 @Glacier Peak, both Ravenstorm and Rockjaw have now joined as well. 😁 1 "It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Being constantly offended doesn't mean you're right, it means you're too narcissistic to tolerate opinions different than your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still exciting to see folks from the legacy team join the community! Edited May 1 by Glacier Peak * 1 I lead weekly Indomitable Badge Runs Best Post Ever....

Ravenstorm Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) Personal tangent. Mods/admins, feel free to remove if needed. I had left Cryptic at the end of 2007, but still stayed in the game and kept in touch with my colleagues. When it shuttered years later, I was there for the final moments, and I was absolutely gutted when I got the "disconnected from mapserver" message for the last time. It hurt, REAL bad. In fact, I had kept CoH installed on my work machine up until they had to replace it in 2013. When news broke of the "private server", I was like "I'm sorry what?!"... and when that snowball rolled down the hill and eventually became what it is today, I still feel absolutely gobsmacked that Paragon City and Rogue Isles not only live, but THRIVE. This was the first game that I was privileged to start my design career on, so this game is extremely meaningful to me. And to this day, I will forever appreciate Geko for referring me to the team for the role, Statesman for taking a gamble on this young upstart, War Witch for training me, and Archon Voss for truly refining the art of what I did (and of course, the entire team as a whole... we made some amazing things happen with this game!). This isn't about the devs, original or current... this is about YOU. The players, the real heroes that have kept this this city and this dream alive. Without you guys, we're just pixel pushers and data movers. Paragon City and Rogue Isles live again. I can only speak for myself, but all I can say is THANK YOU. It brings me tremendous joy knowing that this game is not only alive, but thriving. Edited May 19 by Ravenstorm 13 2 3 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
