From my personal perspective, Paragon Chat gives me 65% of what I valued in the game.  I can create characters and bios, share them with other people in a common environment and tour the world of Paragon City.  It makes it a lot easier for me to be patient on everything else. 

Though I'd REALLY like to play through those builds, beat up bad guys and save citizens so they can make sarcastic comments about my costume.

For me it's more like 20%. I did (and do) enjoy and appreciate the community, but I mostly want to be able to play the game.

If you want, post your costume and I'll make sarcastic comments about it; I can probably get you up to at least 76%.

Yeah, that's about how I feel about it.  Maybe even a lower percentage.  I was a solo player who enjoyed the game as a game and rarely socialized outside of the chat channels (and that wasn't common, either).

So I'm looking forward to something I can log in and play, whether it be the return of CoH or the completion of one of the successor projects (and I wouldn't have thought that the latter would be happening more quickly than the former).

Only if I've saved you from Circle of Thorns mystics or menacing Tsoo Red Ink guys.

Apperently Nate is a fart.

Apperently Nate is a fart.

Let's hope he's "silent but successful". We can name a new kind of fart after him. What an honor. I think.

[Remaugen]

Too funny!

And definitely a dubious honor.

Under what set of circumstances would you ever use that nomenclature?

A:  Man, I hate it when everyone piles into the elevator and pushes all the buttons and we have to stop on every single floor.

B:  Let me try something...

A:  Wow, that was silent but successful.  Now we have the elevator all to ourselves.

I remember an old episode of Dennis Miller where the South Park creators were on there talking about how they'd go to Hollywood parties and take pictures of each other farting on celebrities. The SBS seems like it'd be useful terminology in that scenario.

This is what the conversation has sunk to?  Man, there better be some news soon, or who knows where this thread could dive!

Maybe upon a successful use of Chocking Cloud?

The name of the debuff assigned upon being hit by Ritki Monkey Gas.

I mean weve done good for being 2 years in. Just now we are starting to sound like inbred and hysterical hill billys.

As someone who grew up in Arkansas and has family throughout Kentucky and West Virginia, and who teaches psychology, I would respectfully submit that the level of dialogue I've observed in this thread is not at all typical of either inbreeding or hysteria.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a sistercousinwife to scold for something or other.

[Abraxus]

I take it as a symptom of what can happen in the absence of something substantive to discuss.  We have covered most things we love about the game, and things we hotly anticipate if it returns (along with the things we don't like about things standing in the way of it returning). 

All things considered, I would rather see the conversation sink below the "lowbrow" level, than to see no discussion at all.  Which given the time factor so far, it truly amazes me that we have as much discourse as we do.
