The community will be different, would I still fit in? I was part of the RP-crowd (more or less, I was loosely connected towards the end) on Virtue. Will the roleplayers who're still interested find the same place to play? One of the nice things about the servers on Classic CoX was their different personalities. It would be a loss, imo, for them to become fully homogenized just because a critical population turns out to be necessary for server survival.
Would the developers supporting it learn to start building new content, or would be have to be satisfied with the (tremendous) amount of content it had at shutdown. If the former, would someone, or anyone, care to coordinate the general lore among the various new server/development efforts?
Would it end up as a short nostalgia run, or could it have a longer life? I don't know.
I'm sure you'll fit in just fine. Everything old is new again.
The thrill of being 'young' and unburdened and starting from L1 again.
There'll be different flavours of ice cream. So, if you got bored with vanilla, you can have your rum and raisin or coffee ice cream, fudge, choc' mint...whiskey ice cream...(Hmm...) Choose yours. Create your own server flavour. Create content eventually with an eventual release of tools.
This isn't a 'stasis' statue. This has been turned over the community.
This is just the beginning.
At least you'll get to find out. Ask the question. Explore the answer.
By the way. That's a very pretty eye. I've seen you post over the years, as I have a great many other forum members. But that eye is distracting.
As for the dev' of the game. It will come in many forms. That is the beauty of it. Want classic? Go with that server. Want some server that is dev' lore purist? Expect that 'moon base' that never got developed with Battalion to happen eventually...
New power sets? (i25 has those?) New zone, Kalistri Wharf? Finished. Just needs mobs and missions.
You'll have?
Choice. Nostalgia or evolve or party susan.
But hopefully you'll enjoy more than a nostalgia trip.
I'm looking to trying Arcana's 'High Octane' x2/3 en/en build. I like the idea of Torrent being a '3rd' attack power with insane recharge.
And I KNOW I'm going to re-roll my en/invul tank.
And...and...I'm GOING to re-roll my elec/elec Domin'. I miss it the most. The possibility of combat tactics with it pickled my mind.
As for my song, 5th Horsemen?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RT3uFugS0kI know. I'm a disgrace to Azraels everywhere.
Sure I can rustle up some 'rock.' Give me time...
