Scrapperlock
SMASH!
Costume Contests under Atlas
Hunting glowies in Orenbega

My man Nemesis is down with the street, as it were.

The best cutscene in MMO history, where you meet your character's alternate reality counterpart.
No seriously, that is pure greatness.
The Tin Mage and the Prestidigitator's letters.

So what else have I missed?

Strong and Pretty

Ok, one more CoH culture bit:
Quick Katie

[Xieveral]

FPARN

...and now I'm sad again   :'(

[Kistulot]

I feel terrible that I cant remember his name! It started with a 'd', but he did a guide to every support set in the game, and a great guide on melee that without it, I never would have learned to tank even a quarter decently.

FREEM!

How could you forget FREEEEEM? ;-;

[FatherXmas]

How could you forget Scrapperlock?  >:(

... or Brutelock?

[Night-Hawk07]

How could you forget Scrapperlock?  >:(

... or Brutelock?

Scrapperlock is up there, right above SMASH!

[Kaiser Tarantula]

The numerous ways people played tank (or attempted to play tank) on anything but a Tanker or Brute, including, but not limited to...

Tankerminds.
Tanktrollers.
Tankfenders.
Corruptanks.
Scrankers.

[Arglebargle]

Yes, City of Heroes had the Awesome Button!

Was that Dechs Kaison?
I think he has a private blog you could follow.

I can't believe I forgot FREEM! for the list.

Which is exactly why I thought we could use a thread like this.
To remember the culture that CoH created.

Also, Tankermind is one of my favourite phrases ever.

So, what's next? What else have we missed? :)

[Shinobu]

I'm trying to remember some of the common ones for the market forums, which is where I hung out a lot.  But one of them was:

casually purpling your warshade

as a sign of how wealthy you were.

Also:

Ebil Marketeers
The Forum Cartel
Pinnacle = The Drunk Server
Virtue = catgirls
Freedom = Freedumb

Ah yes, can't forget that.  :D

[Altoholic Monkey]

Let's see, looks like a couple of things missing....

Lesbian Hellions  (this was from a character bio story and Hellions did not have any females in their groups at the time)
All that crap is gray to me - Positron (Dev quote)
DETH KICK


From the AT names...of course:

Offenders - An offensively built Defender. (Shoot first, buff second)

Although I always laughed at those ae baby video things.  "I like saving the world and clicking on bombs."

[FatherXmas]

Scrapperlock is up there, right above SMASH!

Sorry, still got something in my eye ...
