I would be seriously on board with LPing at least the Praetorian content. We'd need at least four people, one for each storyline...

Maybe more. Have dedicated LPers for as many parts of the game as we can get. Praetorian content, the Wards, SSAs, Incarnate trials, maybe have someone run around showing off the old poo poo that got buried like Mayhem Missions and Doppelgangers...

EDIT: Seriously, let's actually do this, for real. We have three months, spread out among people who know the content well that's more than enough time to show everything there is to show.

Forget your RoboCoX or your StickyCoX or your EvilCoX, MY CoX has Blinking Bewbs!

WHY IS THIS GAME DEAD?!

Brave New World posted:

Considering how NCsoft operates, this talk about Titan Networks buying the IP is a complete waste of time. The only hope CoX has is with the possibility of private servers. Anyone familiar with Rebirth? It's a really high quality private WoW server that has a Goon guild that advertises here on SA. I've played on it, and it's really good. If they can get something like that up and running for CoX, I'll be happy.

Sadly, the chance of a private server is pretty tiny. First, a Paragon Studios codemonkey would have to 'accidentally' leak the server code and detailed instructions on keeping it running. Then, someone with both dedication and money would have to pick it up, compile it and pay for decent hosting, both for the server and the multi-gig client download.

And, even if this happened, I'd probably just play a few rounds and quit. It was the people who really made CoH shine, even if we were laughing at them half the time.

GW2 is turning out to be pretty awesome, Servers aren't as retarded as I thought they were. Once the game is out of it's painful birthing process in about, say, Three Months, I would strongly suggest Goons come join. I'll post guild details once I get it up and running for people.

Major pro about the game so far: Cross Server Guild Chat means City of IRC will live on. :3: And guild's aren't exclusive, so you can be in whatever ERP Furry Charr guild or RL friends nerd guild and still talk about Tommy's dick all night.

As for City of Heroes, though: Before the game goes down there will be much drunken revelry. I want to do all the good TF's again, I wanna punch Nazis in the dick, and I want to see Goons bask in the glow of Armageddon in Pocket D.

I'm sceptical anything can replicate the goon community in this game. The game is just so casual friendly, so much that the 'haves' and 'have-nots' are not separated at all. I can team up with Tommy without anyone really noticing any change in effectiveness. The goofing around while not doing anything is also great.

The biggest part of what I like this game so much is the barbie dress up part. It's a game by itself where the challenge is making something you like. You get to show off and feel proud on an actual skill instead of "I just sunk 30,000 hours to get this flaming shoulderpads". It's also another way of not separating the haves and have-nots. My level 1 can look drat more awesome than a level 50+3 cat girl/emo guy with wolf tail. The game does not FORCE you to level. You do it just for the hell of it.

Maybe CO is like this too but goddamn if the art direction didn't make my eyes bleed. It's like being forced to stare at a Liefeld-era comic book.

I'm not sure I want to get into GW2 since MrsAkumaizer is not keen on fantasy theme, not to mention I couldn't even finish my 3 months sub when I tried WoW long ago. We might just wait on Phantasy Star Online 2, or just jump into STO (she likes Star Trek).

Start the game, pick your "Home Server", this binds you to your cross server PvP team, and effects some other stuff. However you can hop servers to play with other people whenever. And you can join guilds on other servers.

You can be in as many guilds as you want, whichever one you're in gets cross server chat. Characters can move between servers freely and join other guilds. Pick a guild to Rep and you get it's cross server guild chat. You can change your repped guild at any time.

Are you even trying?
Please note that visiting isn't in yet, at the moment they just have it set up so you can actually change servers whenever you wish. When they get visiting up and running you'll have to pay to change your home server, but until then it's free to swap.

I didn't play this game that much but for the time I did the group chat with you guys was definitely the best part. I'm tempted to download it again and try to remember my login details just to get screenshots of my terrible level 20 characters. Pretty bummed about this going away, but if you guys get a GW2 guild up and running I'd join it for City of IRC again.

I still don't know if I'll have the time to commmit to something like this soon, and I'd hate to half-rear end it, but if others are in I'll get something done.

A megathread sounds like a great idea, with people committing short LPs of their favorite or most important content in whatever style they wish. (personally I would go for spergyinformative, you guys might want to go farcical, and both are fine)

The main problem I see is readers getting confused if too many people are posting concurrently, and if events happen out of order. (for example it would be beneficial to do the Faultline content before the RWZ arcs because Fusionette and Faultline)

You have complete control over the colors of your armor. You can discover dyes in game to change it as well.

Are you talking character name limit? 19 chars including spaces.

The names are global to all the servers as well, so it's a pain in the rear end to find one unless you are unique.
