I'll be very sad to see this go - had some brilliant laughs over the years.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

damn fucking shame.

Can't say I'm surprised though, it was unplayable for months at a time due to bugs, so it lost a great deal of players.

One last faaabulous parade before it closes?

Long may it be remembered.

One of the most enjoyable online experiences I've ever had. The Fabulous Parade was a personal highlight for me - it will take something pretty damn special to top that. Even the general day to day stuff was fun: travel powers were thoroughly enjoyable, the character customization was mind boggling, and the badge collections were what first switched me on to in game achievements. It was let down by repetitive missions and 'dungeon' layouts, but it was so easy to join random groups of decent people it made up for that.

Farewell CoH/CoV, you will be missed.

So long Grammarman!

I just choked on my food laughing at memories of Spartacus. We were legends in our own lunchtime.

[Dog Pants]

I remember in particular heading en-masse into the sewers and dying in dribs and drabs, but because there were so many of us there was a Spartacus every few seconds running in, and none coming out. Much to the bemusement of people stood outside.

You know, I never played CoH. I feel as if I missed out on something.

I played for 1 free weekend, 1 amazing, fabulous weekend, with hindsight I should have played more!.

I think this was a costume competition that we all entered, don't think any of us won.


Also, dirty protest:

[Sheriff Fatman]

And not forgetting Sporticus and Steph. I think this was Tandino and Roman?

I too never played this. Did you actually get any superhero-ing done or was it just fabulous parades and lunacy? I keep laughing at DP's description of the Spartaci.

It was first and foremost a piss about - the game lent itself to that better than any MMO I have ever played. A few of us stuck around to play it a little more seriously (I have/had 4 maxed out characters), but it was always just about 5punking about. The more I remember it, the more I realise how much I'll miss it

[Dr. kitteny berk]

This

We played it stupidly mostly, even those of us who played 5punky-seriously (very different to actually seriously) fucked about more than actually doing anything sensible.

[Dog Pants]

We did go out and do actual game things. I had to kill these things before I could bum them:

Council trooper:


Demon:


Freakshow:


The lucky Husk just got a cuddle:


I also liked shitting in bins:

Shitting in a tin can



Chillin' (but not like a villain)



Mind the gap



Multi gap



Hugging strangers



Pants gets teabagged



Pants tries to get over the emotional trauma of a teabagging




I used to have a load more pictures, but they've all disappeared

Silly Screenshots

Things I've bummed

Homosexuality

Spartacusseses

This game was good.

Also, going through and fixing all the links I can.

[Roman Totale]

Homosexuality

Spartacusseses

Oh fuck, these two just killed me

[Sheriff Fatman]

So, it looks like 30 November is end-ex for CoH.

I expect I'll be there to pay my respects

(Remember, it's free now folks. Just DL to say goodbye).
