I think the words "proof of purchase" probably fit here.

I'm hoping for the "By the dark gods!" option myself.  At the very least I could figure out which deities Mr. Castanella was over there in the Midnight Squad evoking while I was whipping up a cure for the Lost (which Phaetan eventually had one of his alts take on a DFB).

I have my original CD's / boxes / manuals from COH and COV.

After that anything I upgraded online only.

That would be my guess as well.

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.
Past results from Joshex? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

And to think that they said I couldn't oneshot an Archvillain...

I hope anything that happens involves Sentinel+ files.

Still have the COV box set minus the hero clix figure gave that to my niece. It was manti anyway :P Thing came with 4 install discs.

I get far too sentimental to get rid of my boxes etc, right here by my PC :)

I'm currently moving and have actually seen all of the boxes this week.


Alpha Series

Proud to say have CoH, CoV collectors edition, GVE, and Going Rogue, all with discs and boxes. Sure wish could use them right now. Never will forgive They-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named for what they have done to us all. Thanks to all of you here for keeping the dream alive. Hope to be working with all of you again soon! Best of fortunes to you all!

I recall doing the same thing in the SSA for the Lost Boss, the one with Synapse's powers. Was rather shocked that it worked, at least when I tried.

On the test server during the testing for Inventions, there were a number of interesting bugs. The 'Touch of Lady Grey' proc (chance for Negative damage) originally was negative damage -- when it went off, it would do a negative amount of damage, healing your target. They fixed that, but broke it differently; when it went off, it would do some absurdly huge multiple of your target's undamaged hit points. Just for giggles, I took the character I'd slotted with the proc out to Crey's Folly, and I did one-shot Jurassik, doing (if I'm remembering the number correctly -- I've got a screenshot at home) '6.0442e+11' points of damage to him when the proc went off on my first attack. Some people were able to get marginally higher damage, but at the time it was amusing to note that the CoH engine was capable of transitioning smoothly into scientific notation when numbers got too big.

I may not be able to turn up all of my boxes; I'm pretty sure I still have the box for CoV ready to hand, with the HeroClix figures still in it. I also made a point of screenshotting my NCSoft City of Heroes account page showing all of the game codes that I applied to my account over the years.

o________o I wanna see this . . . not that I don't believe you on the scientific notation thing, just . . . my interest is peaked xD

I'd bet real money that wasn't on purpose, but rather just a result of using sprintf or something similar with '%f' to format damage numbers.

Still have both boxes, CoH and CoX and they won't go anywhere.

Okay so what is the super secret reason *why* we should keep our boxes?  I think I still have mine.

City of Heroes (original release) & City of Heroes Going Rogue Complete Collection — will that be enough?

Or is someone trying to bump prices up on Amazon?  ;)
