Ok I'm awake and recoved from the other day now I have a Question.
What happened to the Dev's?
A friend let me be on for the Tabula Rasa closing in Feb of 09.
In that the Dev's all took a server and Spawned GM's & interacted with the player base gave everyone a level boost to cap and just went out with a party.

Now I not saying that how we finished was bad it was nice to have those last moments to just be with friends and I will charish the end always.
Just where did our Dev's end up the CapeRadio said Positron was on Pinnicale for a bit & Hit Streak Virtue for a time. But there was not even any Admin messages till the 10 min & 5 min count down. Just seems kinda odd as there is more servers then that and there is more Dev's. and they had always had such hands on stand by us nature.
And I know there was a Beta server party the night before with Dev's. Where I think the Vip server would have worked better then Beta server but thats me.

Arctic Force.

Positron was in RWZ / Vanguard on Justice

*MANY* of the devs were on in the SaveCoH channel right until the end - including Black Pebble, Positron, War Witch, Castle, BAB, Black Scorpion, Dark Watcher, and any others they could rope in. We were yammering extensively right up until the end. Some were on Justice, a couple were on Virtue, others were wherever their home servers were.

Some of the devs were logged in and talking on the "SaveCoH" global channel. I saw Positron and War Witch, among others. It was hard to tell exactly who was on, though, all my global channels were scrolling by too fast to read.   :P

(Edit: Samuraiko beat me to it.  ;D)

I think only Hit Streak had GM powers, so no red text from the others.

Pebbles and Scorp were on Beta right after the closure time hit and passed.

I met War Witch in AP on virtue near the end she was chilling out and talking and I feel like a doof I missed the save coh channel but It was good to get to thank at least one of them in vr person.

This. Their dev powers were taken away months ago. The only two people with access who were on that night were Hit Streak and GM_Lloyd. Everybody else was just a normal player.

It was both sad and strangely amusing. War Witch was stuck in Paragon Dance Party and couldn't get out. At least one had on an NPC costume that they had to bug Hit Streak to take off of them.

And someone (Posi I think?) asked how to get to RWZ. In unison at least three voices over the twitch stream could be heard saying, "mapmove... uh..." It took a minute for someone to remember where the Vanguard entrances were in order to get there without dev access.

I ran into both Black Scorpion and Positron the last night.

Saw Posi earlier in the evening in Atlas Park on Justice.  Took a few screenshots of Tubbius floating next to him.  :)

First I've heard of it myself. No worries, I had more than enough globals to keep track of.

Here's a copy of my SaveCoH global log, with gaps where I was stuck in the Virtue queue.

I saw Hit Streak throughout the entire day off and on over a period of literally like 8-10 hours.... He was working overtime on the last day.
