Absolutely nothing has scratched that itch, and I gave up trying.
I Love Titan Icon, and what it gave back to me (that was a HUGE help... I can't count how many times I pulled it up just to run in and out of Atlas to hear the music swell up with no other agenda but to hear it).
I Love Paragon Chat, and what it gave back to me (even though the rest of my SG misses the 'action' in it so to stay with them I don't hop in as much as I want)...
That they're starting the work for bases is incredible to me... based on the hints they've tossed in these forums (and I'm hoping to use as a way of pulling them into using it and toying with it). As long as it's not more complex than it was before... right?
That slowly, but surely, we will ALL get our City back... somehow... even if it's 'kind of' what we had... keeps me here. Hoping.
The fact that ANY of us are here years after the 'Going Dark' occurred is a testament to the faith of everyone that Remains, and I thank you all for proving that this City is a special thing, that is greater than the sum of its parts... including us- individually. We all keep coming back, hoping for more- even when we had nothing to expect, we still did... and we have what we do now...
I waste most of my spare time in Marvel, because it's a great time-killer, and everyone else in the SG agrees since most of the time we're playing we're going through the same rotes of the dailies and weekly events while chatting about life... but I want our City back. A City everyone can come together again in.
I can't imagine the amount of work that's been done to create what we even have now (no, I really can't... I don't know enough about programming to guess- When I was in school they had programming classes that had you move an- I think- 8-bit object across a screen in DOS) but I hope they keep fighting, pushing, and doing all they can to bring it back to everyone like they've been doing.
I'm not even sure I can say "Next year, in Paragon" because I've been able to celebrate "This year, in Paragon" with everyone... even if I'm not bashing Hellions to do it. I can still /em holdtorch as much as the next player.
...Never give up... Never surrender. We'll find our way back... completely, one day, somehow.
