Keep your boxes please

We don't know anything from the mysterious OP.

But sure, everyone should keep on sharing what boxes they still have because I'm sure that helps knowing why.


:roll:

Does that mean I shouldn't hit enter on "/mov EM_THROW_TOMATO" just yet?

Didn't get a box with my purchase, so there's no benefit. Watching to see if people with boxes get hosed.

o_o I don't see the harm in keeping boxes guys . . . I mean it's fine if you don't, but honestly their one of the few mementos I have of the game. There's the icon, sure, but I mean physical mementos. :/ My dad has an Arachnos shirt . . . I don't think he'll ever wear it again though.

So even if OP is pulling our legs, we shouldn't be eager to get upset over keeping them. Though if your views differ, then that's fine to. ^^

Yeah really. It's not like they'll pass their expiry date and make us sick or something.

I mean, I still have my Icewind Dale box. So I'm pretty sure my City of Heroes boxes are staying.

Same here. Have my Ghost Widow figurine and a couple of comics, still sealed in bag.

I got the Black Scorpion figure with my COV pre-order.


Arachnion

The only edition I ever got physically was the CoV Collector's Edition.

My box is around here somewhere, dunno where exactly though.

I do have some of the figurines: Manticore, Captain Mako, Lord Recluse & Black Scorpion.

You do realize that they contains all sorts of radioactive super powered materials, right? And with no superheroes to keep them in check for right now, we may actually find ourselves with a serious problem on our hands if we keep the boxes. So I guess... keep the boxes, but inside a bigger, lead-lined box, is what I'm saying.
I used CIT before they even joined the Titan network! But then I left for a long ol' time, and came back. Now I edit the wiki.

I'm working on sorting the Lore AMAs so that questions are easily found and linked: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lore_AMA/Sorted Tell me what you think!

You kidding?  If comics have taught me anything, it's that those sorts of things are great for givin' people superpowers of their own.  Just wait until someone winds up with teleportation, and uses it to have very personal chats with NCsoft's big names.

The TCs plan makes much more sense now. We all get super powers from the radiation and then we make someone make us able to play our game again . . . or we could just be real super heroes . ..  nahh game first xD

the game is a training ground. look at how many charities used it for fund raising. it was teaching us all about great power and great responsibility.

Goodness I hope not.  I was awfully fond of gold-side :(

Just out of semi-related curiosity, does the installation files on the old cd/dvds have all of that missing content (mission text, contacts, etc.), or at least most of it until they decided to omit it from the client side?

Currently with copy of I-24 beta (with backups just in case)...

As for the boxes (at least one of every copy they released from launch, up); that and anything left of CoH I have in my possession they'll have to pry from my cold, dead, fingers. They've taken more than enough as it is.

Okay, this made me laugh.

Any more updates on the mysterious OP?

I'm sure we'll find out SOON (tm)

Whatever's being cooked up will be worth waiting for if past results are any indication.
*tries to recall past results from Joshex's posts*
i seem to recall some entertaining results myself. Not always necessarily useful, but definitely entertaining and demonstrating some... interesting... perspectives on how things work. Also rather idiosyncratic writing styles if memory serves.
i would be interested in a time frame for any sort of fruition of course. To express that wait as a single digit would we be talking days, weeks, months, years, decades...?
So far so good. Onward and upward!

I had no plans to chuck out the CoV box - got in originally after EU release on a friend code, so no box there.

CraZboy

My CoX boxes are in a very safe place .. in a display case in my home office!  Even my European version is proudly displayed.

They are not going anywhere!!
