Pattern Ghost Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Ok, I just changed my global handle to @Pattern Ghost That should make it easier to remember who I am if I send anyone a random friend request. For some reason, when I restarted in 07, it wouldn't let me use it. I think someone else had it at the time, and it had assigned me Marama, the first character I'd logged in as, so I just left it. Looks like it's free now, so there ya go. I'm now me again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game It's a good thing that new players get a chance at some of the simple names with normal spellings. That's what I like about Exalted. I was able to get back a few names that I'd lost to the first round of making names available if the character was inactive and under level 35. (Done at a time when it was actually a bit of work to get into the 20s.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game I have been playing since 2005ish. My Global is @TashaG On Exalted, I have Wingnut lvl 8ish Dual pistols/Ice Blaster I have Heroes on Guardian Pixie Sword lvl 27 Broadsword/Regen Scrapper Villains on Pinnacle Steele Fury lvl 23? Robots/Bubbles Mastermind. Never could stand the grind for long enough to get anyone to cap. With the new content, things are much more fun and less grindy. So who knows, I may yet get someone to lvl 50 PS I have a ton of other single digit alts on all the above servers and 2 others (where I used to play with friends who don't play anymore).

John T Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game This particular issue bugs me in an entirely different way. I find it rather disgusting that anyone thinks that simply because their first character had a given name on one server, that no one should be able to play a character with that name on _any_ server. What is the objective of having more than one server if people are going to camp the same name on every server? Granted, MMO character names are fair game, barring copyright/trademark issues. The problem here is that well-known folks on the forums had their names camped by some of their equally well-known detractors. Not for the purpose of actually PLAYing said characters, but solely for the purpose of saying "FU". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try poking my head in on Thursdays at around 7pm Pacific. Keep my global in mind. I have been playing a bunch lately. Though my playtime will probably plummet when the SW-TOR beta starts up again sometime in the next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John T Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game Well that's totally uncool. Hopefully Paragon will do something about that. Some people can be real jerks. In fact, Paragon has wisely (IMO) chosen to stay out of it entirely. As mentioned, none of the names actually BELONG to specific players. Thankfully, the situation has turned out to be largely self-correcting. The twits that pulled this forgot (as twits will) that they are all too easily outed by the good ol' /getglobalname command. Getting themselves publically ostracized as the d-bags they chose to be was apparently more than most could stand. In any case, my home server will always be Justice. I have a few characters on every English-speaking server, but rarely play anywhere else. Also, in regard specifically to Exalted, I honestly look forward to teaching new people "the ropes", which isn't going to happen as much there. I like seeing my original reactions to the game through other people's eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just finished the First Ward Arc with my Tanker. I found it worth doing interesting. Needs a little polish in my view, but not too bad.

(Now to pick a name no one else has thought of...) Baronness Von Fokker-Wulf now fights crime with her robotic minons, because if the nobility doesn't then the commoners will think the nobles aren't needed. And we can't have that. Thunder Teen (formerly Thunder Child) fights evil and tries to get a date. Because I'm not a kid anymore, gosh darn it! Blue skinned Pictsie Chad O'Hawke fights crime because it's fun to fight. And drink. Preferably both at once! And he's found if he beats up criminals, the police don't hit him while his back is turned. Samantha Thordatter is committing mayhem, because even the children of Gods spend thier teen years being rebelious. Rising from the grave, Baron Bone has instituted a reign of terror. Death comes for you! And 5 charactes is enough. I only planned for two on exalted. How did I end up with five? (Ever hear of the two-four-eight compromise? Where the British government said it could only afford two battleships, the Royal Navy insisted they must have four, so they compromised on eight?)

gojira Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game I think it's always worth a re-roll, unless you plan to spend a rename token.
