Same. and Titan seems to be moving at a glacial pace.I really miss City of Heroes.
My first ever MMO and still my favourite.
Awesome. He probably has full gray hair by now, considering he was learning/working and then job-hunting (later working 50 hours a week) and looking for an apartment while also doing some hacking in between. As long as he is happy now, it's all good.
By the way: Looking at your nickname (which isn't that common - at least I've only seen it twice), you didn't use to be an admin of a browser game some 10 years ago, right?
Star Wars Galaxies after the NGE (New Game Experience) came out. Place turned into a huge ghost town except for the most popular server. The CU (Combat Upgrade) that came before it did a number as well, but nothing like the NGE. Killed the game dead with its corpse hanging around for a few more years after that.
Edit: thought this was game side. I'll leave this anyway.
Bungie.net before destiny
I get you're apparently angry and bitter about this, and that he banned you there 6 years ago, but maybe don't find and harass people over modding video game system warz on forums, ok? Let it go
I used to frequent N-Philes/Nerd Mentality too! I know a few members are here, and I follow a few more on Twitter. Cool people.
I used to go to Ganon's Tower before then. I also remember Kasuto.net. Lots of Zelda fan fiction there.
Could imagine if Original SWG was released today? It was minecraft before minecraft was minecraft
Still weeping over this community to this day. One of my absolute favorite MMO's of all time.
Neopets was the shit. The forums used to be a crowded place and last I checked, 2 years ago or so, it was barely clinging to life. A shame too, I made a lot of friends there.
Also BOTS! online and a bunch of other Acclaim titles that disappeared when the company blew up again.
Oh wow. That's some long term grudging right there. I remember getting banned from one of my favorite game communities by mods I felt were particularly biased. I ended up starting my own community out of spite because I thought I could do a better job. After about 2 years or so and a few thousand members, I abandoned it and shut it down. Turns out that at the time for me, it was time consuming, hard work. Also didn't like like dealing with trolls and people who deliberately made my job as an admin harder. I never went back to the first community, not even under an alt, but I did end up finding sympathy with their mods and admins. That pic just reminded me of them and that time.

RIP
I use to love taking my little landspeeder out to my windfarm out in the wilds of Naboo.Yeah I miss how that game played a lot. It had a bunch of jank, bugs, but god damn I loved it. The player made cities were so cool. Being able to have your city on the map of the planet and them getting a flight path/ticket right to it was amazing for PvP. Crafting was more in depth than any RPG I have ever played. I remember staying up late with my dad multiple times to go plant harvesters on this new hotness resource that popped at like 1 am. You could make credits by sitting around playing music and dancing if you felt like it. I price-gouged people with my doctor buffs every morning.
I am still bitter to this day over it all.
If they remade it and released it today with improved graphics, more balanced combat classes and bug fixes I would maybe die of hype.
There are about three or four Star Wars forums burnt and salted in my wake. Plus a couple of those forums weird passive-aggressive spinoffs/hideouts for "too-cool-for-school" posters who got themselves kicked/banned and needed somewhere to pout about it.
Only like, one of 'em was directly my fault, though.
Heh, not too many people from my guild's old board here, nice to see one. A handful of FoH members still have our IRC running and lurk GAF though. It's too bad the board went to shit, especially after it transitioned into Rerolled.
I really miss City of Heroes.
My first ever MMO and still my favourite.
I actually wasn't in FOH but spent many days and nights on the boards in the Glory days shooting the shit, talking strats and well just having fun at SOEs expense.
I think part of the death of FOH was when Vanguard Bombed hard. Took the steam out of the community which at one point was really invested in it.
I personally miss it, it was the 1 real place you could sit down and analyze MMOs, encounters and mechanics with like minded people. Was a fun ride.
Edit: I also want to throw a call back to Abiworld.com which later became Realpoor.com
Abiworld was run by two former guildmates of mine.. Great times.
ever posted on Stardestroyer.net?
Stardestroyer was for the fans that felt the need to do calculations for how hot a turbolaster is, and how heavy the millennium falcon wasThis is the first I've ever heard of it.
Let's see, there was:
T'Bonez Star Warz Universe
Jedinet
TheForce.net (technically those boards are still around but it's like 50 really fucking stupid people pawing at each others' nuts at this point)
Aldera.net
The X-Boards
MillenniumFalcon.com
(these all had like, 2 or 3 spinoff boards where the cool kids hung out and smoked weed and made fun of the squares. People still do this dumb shit, apparently)
At that point Starwars.com had their own boards, and I helped out with those for about a year or two, and then I pitched a giant hissyfit about some stupid shit or another, consumed myself in a giant fireball of stupidity and forum politics, retreated to one of the spinoff communities, and then I got a job, and basically didn't even think to check on any of that shit until Lucas sold the company and a bunch of us started spotting each other on twitter/facebook like "Oh hey, remember when this is all we did online for most of the early 2000s?"
The sale of that company was like a half-ass 10-year High School Reunion for dipshits like me who think about Star Wars too hard.
