RUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!!
Get over it already.

*Guaranteed replies*
The lower your expectations are, the higher your enjoyment is.
Dear CoX refugees let me introduce you to CO's very own version of Marvin the depressed robot XD
Nepht and Dr Deflecto on primus
They all thought I was out of the game....But I'm holding all the lockboxes now..
I'll......FOAM FINGER YOUR BACK!
Wait? Whaaaa..?
Won't you try some hero games?

And the clowns! Don't forget the clowns!
Deliciously nutritious!
All this time I thought it ran on a 3D graphics engine. But this..this new info...it all makes sense now. That is some looking glass $h!t right thar.

Enjoy your time here. And thank you for giving us a break from grim and gritty costumes and demon bits. Thank you for not being ashamed to rock the spandex and celebrating those comic book heroes who actually enjoy wearing tights.
ppl went to The Secret World instead. I really hate the way
CO was abandoned so quickly after release so that STO
could be produced. CO was to become the Marvel MOO,
but Marvel sold out to Disney. CO was to come to the
Xbox 360, but they didn't do enough forward thinking
about how to get that to work. They should have done
a PS3 instead. Filled with empty promises & broken
dreams so far, but I'm still gonna take a crack at it &
hope the remaining 2 developers can come through
with a miracle.:redface:
Dear CoX refugees. Let me introduce you to CO's very own version of Clark Kent XD

First off, welcome! The game is fun, I hope you'll like it here!
Secondly, don't let the forums get you down. For a good honest assessment as to the state of the game and where we're headed, read canadascott's State of the Game post. Its good stuff.
Thirdly, for good chat and helpful advice join the 'CoX' channel. I'd say turn off Zone chat, but then you'd miss the occasional Lee Tosi antics.
Fourthly, trailturtle's a good community rep. He's occasionally on CoX too.
Fifthly, please say 'yes please' to the foundry kinda-sorta petition thread.
Lastly, enjoy yourselves. And if you need help, feel free to look up orange fairies leaving rainbow trails.

This was awesome while it lasted
_______________________________________________
Agreed. I've read many reviews & it seems a lot of people
enjoy this game. Gamers are divided on it but it looks like
a lot of fun to me & I like the fact that it made an attempt
at an original idea in a Modern RPG. I'm probably going to
get a group together to all buy & play the game at the same
time & enjoy it as much as I can. Although I think in the long
run it'll go the same route as CoX (& maybe CO). Sometimes
I think the pay to play games have an edge over free to play
at least in terms of content, etc, so might as well enjoy the
pay to play features of TSE before it turns into another
lock box festival.
The Cape Radio's DJ Templar broadcast last night from Secret World. He had like 4 people in game with him. Then DJ Anarchy got on in Champions (from The Minefield), it was late (still going at 1am PST) and she had like 12. Last week, before CoX shutdown one of DJ Pheonix's shows from WestSide we had like 20 people dancing for over an hour.
Granted that's just one CoX community, but I know that in STO the paragon expeditionary fleet has picked up like 10+ new people. I've seen at least a dozen supergroups from Virtue server here in Millennium city. And that's just from one server, I don't know the whole CoX universe haha.
Pretty safe to say most of us came here.
I'm not saying that CoX didn't come here, just saying there was
a massive thread of CoXxer refugees posting on TSW. Nobody said
anything bad about CO. Though I wish the CoX stuff would be ported
to CO and/or Villains Content + Sidekick design system were added
as was originally promised before Cryptic dropped the ball & ran
as fast as possible to Star Trek..lol.
The night (or morning?) CoH shut off, the City players who were moving to TSW met with Radio Gaia (TSW's equivalent of Cape Radio) at Kingsmouth
There were a little more than 4
Coolness. I've heard they're getting a warm welcome over there. I tried the game and it was too bleak and depressing, not my thing. But really glad to see the community is open.
I'm spending my hiatus from CO on TSW, myself. I don't care much for the setting as long as it's fleshed out well and the game is fun.

I was in that screenshot
Damn, I missed that. Been playing GW2 lately, plus spent this weekend in CO. Still, that screen shot reflects the impression I got from all the CoX posts I saw at the TSW boards when I posted there regularly. I haven't even seen TSW's latest issue yet. Playing 3 games at once is hard...
I guess I'm different than most.
I don't play MMO's just for the sake of playing MMO's...I play for the genre.
I can play another MMO during the same time I'm playing a superhero genre MMO...but I can't just stop playing CoH and then go play a drastically different genre MMO to take it's place. I need something to fill that superhero genre void.
I figured most of CoH players would be coming over here because of this.

Dear CoX refugees.
1: Wear more power armor
2: Tights are nice, but with power armor
3: Power armored tights
4: Use a cape with your power armor
5: Refer to #1
6: Please don't be another half-demon vampire angelic werewolf ninja robot with a dark past that you were so powerful that they kicked you out of hell at lvl 6, so that means that satan is lvl 4.
7: Power armor.

They were probably after the awesome story and atmosphere (if you're into dark, gritty, modern horror fantasy with secret societies and conspiracy theory settings).
Considering a much larger amount of people DID come to CO I wouldn't say you were "different than most"
And hell, I was the same way. When the announcement came out I came over here, recreated my characters, sunk about 40 bucks into extra costume parts and tried to keep playing. Because I enjoyed my tenure in super heroism and wanted to continue it.
But just like you, I play for the genre, not the MMO. And CO is a completely different genre than CoH. Which is why I can't play it.
For me, personally, I'll take one for the team and go with the well done paranormal/modern mmo over the mediocre super hero one. Even if I really really really love RPing as a super hero/villain. The blanket of depression and stagnation over this game's development cycle is too much (and thats funny considering the first area in TSW is an island literally blanketed by a fog of depression and stagnation) I just don't feel like playing a game where the players literally have to start a kickstarter to get them to do anything.
You forgot rule # Real 1:
Be so badass that you don't need to hide behind power armor.
:P
I myself specialize in the less 'super' powersets like Martial Arts, Munitions, Archery and I dabble in Power Armor, but there's people in CO Builds who will help you build just about anything and make sure its at least effective out there in the open world.
6a: please don't be another deity from the norse/celtic/egyptian/babylonian/mayan/chinese/japanese/roman/greek mythos who is so powerful that you personally created the entire world and yet still can't use any of your powers on that guy standing on the other side of the room because he's "out of range"
6b: 6 and 6a are still just as valid if you're level 40 as if you are level 1
Like Foundry. Ahem.
I haven't been playing CO recently for a number of reasons (like GW2), but I'm telling you now, if CO gets Foundry (and it doesn't suck), I'll drop a Lifetime on Cryptic. Promise.
As for The Secret World -- a great game. I think it's a touch thin on content, though, and a number of the things that's really good about the CoX experience and supers in general is utterly missing.
I mean, you can't even change your build or height, let alone some of the fine-tuned far-ranging weirdness of CoX/CO. And no guild halls. Eh.
Wicks and Things: NW-DI4FMZRR4 : The Fenwick merchant family has lost a caravan! Can you help?
Beggar's Hollow: NW-DR6YG4J2L : Someone, or something, has stolen away many of the Fenwicks' children! Can you find out what happened to them?
Into the Fen Wood: NW-DL89DRG7B : Enter the heart of the forest. Can you discover the secret of the Fen Wood?
Urban fantasy? Eeeew!
Wait? Whaaaa..?
Hey buddy, you have a problem with me wanting to remake the Still-Heart in CO?
Granted, Osiris wasn't exactly the creator god of the Egyptian Pantheon (that honor went to either Ra or Ptah depending on which myth you're reading) but still....
:mad:
I think some people are misunderstanding Gavin. I get were he is coming from. I have seen a lot of toons who are like called Thor or Hades or what not and are level 6 yet their badly written bio states they are OMNIPRESENT...yet get one shotted by small pink wolves called Mr Snuggly .
This has been happening since the dawn of mmo's hench why I came up with Nephthys all those years ago..a video game character that thinks shes a God but is in fact the biggest idiot ever to walk the digital realms. In short a mockery of all these level 6 deity toons that you see in the club.

But if that's all he meant, no harm done. I wasn't entirely serious in my challenge, thus the smiley.
The single most common deity you will see in CO is Anubis. This disturbs me as I cant for the love of all things holy remember having that many kids XD
I must be really crappy at naming babies if I called them all the same name
*edit* the only one I admit to is the small purple one with the long arms cause he's cool

After 8.5 years of CoH, time to check Champions Online.
Oh, oh... I get what you mean.
Well, Anubis is a pretty cool god. It's no wonder so many players would want to emulate him.
If so, yeah it can be funny to see a bio where the player has decided to make his character so.
'Caine, miss you bud. Fly high.
If you're into the tights wearing superhero stuff, no TSW will not give you what you need. If you are like me, and the modern setting, cosmetic visual appearance, freeform builder, and RP support was your main attraction to CO, then TSW is all of that and more.
