Apparently our characters are still available too. I could hop on sometime this weekend.

I'm getting "wrong protocol" when I pick a server...

I figured out what's wrong. I uninstalled COH a while back but chose to keep my screenshots, so it didn't uninstall the executable for some reason. I thought it was still installed because the folder is like 1.79 GB but 1.10 of that is screenshots. The executable actually gets you all the way to the server list before checking for files apparently.

So like.. when and where and stuff? Cause I got stuff to do, ya know? Like .. some noobs to pwn and like.. gotta keep up my skills with practice and stuff. Like I got this uber micro cause I practice.. and like if I don't practice then maybe like, the noobs are gonna think they're all good and stuff because I'm not around to pwn them and show them that they're just noobs.

You know...since friday i've been downloading and installing patches and im still no where near done, actually i dont know how close I am, I'll be on sunday morning and monday night due to work and school restrictions, so hopefully im still in your friends list somewhere, if not drop your name. I dont know if im still Jabus or what.

I don't remember you havingt a Jabus, unless it was on a different server. I have you as Pai Mei in the supergroup.

I spent hours trying to get some stupid screenshots off my hard drive onto a DVD. Nero kept messing up for whatever reason, so I finally hade to zip them up to burn them. Pisses me off.

CoH took FOREVER to install and patch. However, it only took a couple patches and everything was automated until the end. Much better than Blizzard's ass patcher that requires you to constantly restart the game and agree to some BS agreement over and over.

All the time spent getting back up and running meant I only was able to play for about an hour-and-a-half yesterday. I played Dominion, my level 15 dude on our orginal server. I forgot how awesome it is to play an MMORPG where you don't have to slowly lumber your way to your destination for 20 minutes. If Blizzard made this game you'd have to actually ride the subway between zones and it would cost you 50 gold to get your movement powers and you'd have to wait 'til level 40. It really makes it obvious that Blizzard tries to artifically inflate the amount of time people will play WoW. If you could cover ground as fast as in CoH people would make level 60 in a quarter of the time. Don't get me wrong, I think it's ok to make people run places, but what fucked up world charges luxury sports car prices for something as simple as a horse? Seriously, you have to commit mass genocide before you can afford simple transportation.

ANYway, I'm going to log on as Dominion right now. I can't promise I won't be playing other characters later though.

@Tempress

I logged in and did one mission. I got bored and quit.

You played CoH a lot longer than us though. You should have tried the arena.

I played for a few hours and by the end the framerate was unbearable. Someone called for a costume contest under Atlas, and the game crashed hard. It just sat there, literally getting like 1 frame per minute, and I had to end task on it (but it took me about 5 minutes to get to that point).

I made a sweet character though... Darth Yoda, who is an energy blaster. That's right, a Sith Yoda. I gave him black robes and a white goatee (as evil alter-egos are wont to do). I got a screenshot where someone was saying "Rock on, Darth Yoda" and another guy said "I concur". Heheh.
