Howdy! I understand what it's like to be hesitant about making that first post, glad you decided to jump in and try it :)

The important thing to remember is, City of Heroes wasn't the sort of game where you had to play 6-8 hours every day just to keep up. You could take a break for months at a time and not fall behind in any meaningful way whatsoever. I know, I took a few of those breaks.

What it was, was a game that people could understand in a few minutes, enjoy in a few hours, and love in a few days. Whether you had ten hours a day or ten minutes a week, you could still accomplish things and feel powerful doing it.

So don't compare your feelings to those who were around more often or got more involved. There's no need of it. You loved this city, and we loved this city. That's all that matters.

Oh, and welcome to the forums! Don't be shy when you have something to say, most of us like seeing new faces around here :)

Bravo! and Thanks!  First to SDarkshine and then Triplash.  Not merely for what they each said but how they said it.

Hiya! And welcome! :)

I absolutely understand where you're coming from and I honestly don't think it is strange, or hard to believe, that you truly care and miss CoH/V...
Because it absolutely is a great game that can be enjoyed from just playing it with as little amount of time as one is able to manage.
I wasn't around from the beginning, but I did post a good amount on the forums, eventually and was able to immerse myself in the community there a bit.
And I used to play the game a lot more, for longer sessions, then I ended up doing so for the past two or so years.
I stayed subscribed and I still played, but it was a small amount of time comparatively to the average player.
I mostly loved having it around, so that I could log in for a quick mission or three. Or to mess around in the costume creator. Sometimes I'd get on a base editing kick! Whatever it was, it was there when I wanted it to be and I want it to still be there... Just as I imagine you do as well.

We may all love >fill in your favorite vacation location< but we don't go there all the time.

I hope you get the chance to play it a lot more some day!

SDarkshine, it's not how long you played, it's your connection to the City. You loved the game and that makes you a valued member of our community. Glad you spoke up, and glad you are here.

Thank you all soo much for your replies and your welcomes!!  ;D

Thank you especially for your advice.  Now that I think of it, I really shouldn't have been distraught over how long I have played this game.  I cared about it, felt connection to it, and I have a wonderful series of good time there.  That's all that matters.  8)

Well, after all of this heart-felt welcome, I better get started on posting pictures of my fun times at City of Heroes!

...uh, I just have to figure out how to upload them online  :P.  It will take a little moment...

Hehe, again, thank you all!  :)
