THANK YOU TIMES ONE MILLION!

Getting to see toons running around is so great.

Just, thank you so much.

Wish I had better words to express how much this makes me smile.
Like crawing out of the desert and getting a sip of water.

Tears of Joy!  I may not be able to take out villain's YET, but to be able to fly once again is more than I thought possible.  Thank you so much for this!

Updated the OP with full patch notes:

• After completing character creation, you can "Enter Game" to load a map relevant to the character type that you selected, so that you can see your costume in action in the various running animations. There are a total of 6 maps currently accessible, based on your choices when entering the game.
• This is an experimental feature, so many things won't work. Notably, doors are not usable and will freeze the client momentarily as it waits for a reply from a nonexistent server.
• You can press '1' to toggle flight mode. This isn't quite the same as the true Fly, as without a functioning powers system I had to make pressing '1' change the laws of physics to something reasonably close to what it provides.
• You can press '2' as a reminder to certain corporate entities that we're still here -- we never left.
• The previously dev-only no-clipping mode has been made available so that you can reach indoor sections of these maps (since the doors don't work). Type /nocoll 1 in the chat window to turn it on; /nocoll 0 to turn it off.

It looks like all the various features have been discovered, but just in case.

The currently accessible maps are:

• Freedom: Tutorial - Outbreak
• Freedom: Hero - Atlas Park 33
• Freedom: Villain - Nerva Archipelago
• Going Rogue: Tutorial - Pocket D (Ski Chalet)
• Going Rogue: Loyalist - Nova Praetoria
• Going Rogue: Resistance - Imperial City

Look for an update mid-week with a command line option to load any zone or mission map, provided you know the filename and can guess some suitable coordinates to spawn at.

Map Failed to start.  The server is busy.  Please try again later

That's the message I get after I complete my character in titan icon and try to send them into game. 

futher info:
1) I  use Mac
2) according to my CoH info i'm using Beta v1.06998

That sounds like you're running the old one. Are you sure you overwrote the icon.exe you're actually launching with the 1.2 version? It should be inside the .app itself, but my Mac-fu is weak and I don't remember exactly how to open those in the finder.

Codewalker, that latest update in amazing and inspirational. Also, very very nice touch on Atlas Park 33.

Codewalker - if you are ever in Plymouth UK the drinks are on me. Thanks so much for this!

[Metal Mountain]

I already replied once, but this is the best news of 2013 so far -

Giddy!!!!! ;D

Got it sorted out Codewalker, Thanks!

Also You and everyone else lending a hand at TN are AMAZING!!!!!

I hope we can all return to our community to our rightful Paragon City!

[SeaLily]

Holy moly, well I know what I'm doing all day today.

THANK YOU!!!!

OMG, This just made my year (so far)!  I can't begin to tell you how happy I am about this.

I missed out on several (hundred) screenshots I needed for the NEW ALLIED FIGHTERS MDU Comics issues, and this function will make HUGE differences in helping to tell the stories! 

I'm excited to see when access to all zones/maps can be done!!!

You are amazing!!  THIS...this is what separates us from the other games...folks like you going the extra distance to save the game...one way or another. 

To the Captain Kirk of CoH!!! CHEERS!!

[Roughtrade]

[Strike]Strangely enough, I can't find anything in ~/Library/Preferences search and I can't find Show Package Contents either.  But just clicking on the Icon Program did get me to the character creator.  Wish I had saved more of my old costumes.  I suppose there's no way to actual load the old characters but this is most awesome.[/Strike]

Nevermind.  Read the front page again and realized it only applied to MAC

[CMKook]

its been nice to be able to see my characters again and fly around... I hope that we soon get to use our powers to fight evil again...nothing compares to CoH nothing...

[FatherXmas]

Does demo record work in this as well.  At least that would let me walk about and record paths.

[Lenya]

I'm crying like a baby... Thank you, thank you so much for giving me a few minutes with Kin.
Flying him through Atlas Park again was incredible.
