As I sit here, combing through the site for nuggets of information about a game that's still 12 months away, and drinking what's probably one more beer than I should have had, I find myself missing my very forgiving Pinnacle peeps. Shout out to the Dr uhh ::) ffd s s suhrrrr!

The Drunk Server
Every CoH server should have had a motto, just so Pinnacle’s could be “Hold My Pint And Watch This”.
Twitter: @SisterSilicon
Liberty: "Where is Everybody?"
I loved the crap out of my main server but it seems like nobody I encountered on the forums or on cohtitan (or even on here) knew of it.
Name: Safehouse
Ranger: Gunner
Primary: Force Blast
Secondary: Atrophic Aura
Tertiary: Kinetic Melee
Travel Power: Parkour
Status: Traveling. Following rumors of a huge city in Massachusetts that is teeming with supers.
I had a full roster on Every server.
Be Well!

Well I have no problems with a drunk server or shard... OR Shardonay anyone?!...anyone?
I'm here all night.
(But a kitten auto tune server is bound to lead to a broken compute and I really can't afford that.)
Unofficially, quite a few of the servers had their own flavor/title: https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Servers
#ChampionServer4Life
Speaking of flavor:

I had thought Victory was known as "The only server with it's own emote."
I started on Victory, played on it for 2 years before moving to Virtue, and didn't know it had a name. :p If anything I would've thought it's name was something akin to "The Server Players Forgot About" :p
Virtue here! I didn't RP much, but it was nice being on a server where people generally put a lot of thought into look, theme and bio. Nice folks too.
I miss Virtueverse. Spent as much time there as on MIDS :).
FIGHT EVIL! (or go cause trouble so the Heroes have something to do.)
Virtue here too.
Only server/game I've played where I could put together an RP PUG. Bunch of folks running about doing missions and some light RP along the way. Missions took longer but it was more fun.
"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."
Hmm...any Infinity folks around?
I started on Victory as I had friends there. Moved to Freedom for a while. Champion briefly.
But Infinity is where I ended up spending the longest time. Several of my highest-number-of-hours-played characters, my personal base etc. I don't actually recall Infinity being known for anything in particular.
As much as I like the idea of a single server so as not to split up the player base, I wonder sometimes if something is lost in the individual culture of different servers.

I was spread pretty evenly on Virtue, Infinity, and Champion.
Infinity was my main server as well. Pretty much had all the possible char slots filled up there. Was just a wee bit of an altoholic. Believe Justice was my other "main" server but had toons pretty much everywhere.

You do know that Virtue was usually one of the highest-pop servers of the entire game (regardless of its RP reputation). If it was "The Server Players Forgot About" then CoH must have been doing something really wrong.

I was saying Victory was the server every player forgot about :p
Ah sorry - didn't know which "it" you were referring to. And now you know why foreign people tend to say English is one of the hardest new languages for them to learn. ;)

I probably needed a comma in there.
So I edited one in :p
Virtue was the home of Amerikatt. When one thinks of Virtue (and virtue), one cannot help but think of Amerikatt!
We RP'd well on Virtue -- *REAL* role-playing, not that soiled kitty litter ERP stuff, either!

The Legion of Catgirls had an Outpost on every server. Rogue Nightwolf was a loyal (honorary) Catgirl on Victory. Mewoof!
Be Well!

A club with ERP didn't bother me. What I hated was people who couldn't RP within the rules of the Club :p
No fighting in the club or get kicked out. Instead, I saw fights break out and they wouldn't get ended or stopped.
Also, those who said "Taking the kids to Pocket D for ice cream!"
Seriously, neither of those things were the Pocket D according to lore. :p Even the comic gave the club a bit of a stripper vibe. Yes parents, take the kids to Pocket D for ice cream, just because you all have powers. Those things I found so much more cringe worthy than anyone ERP in a club.
Hopefully CoT will have a lot more, and hopefully popular, RP spots.

My home server was Triumph. I never knew it was a test server originally...till just now. It is also the pantsless server...*hangs head in shame, takes off pants, raises them in solidarity*

My son and I lived on the Forgotten Server. When my beta friends and I agreed on the server that we would re-create our characters on, We got split between Victory and Virtue. All some could remember was that the agreed upon server started with was "V".
Ah well, we made new friends and carried on.

QFT! A couple of times, I did not Place in a costume contest, but the judges gave me a prize for Best Backstory. Once, I even got a donation for my Kings Row Animal Hospital!

I won and placed a few times back in the day, even with some costumes that I personally didn't think we're all that great. I was always annoyed if someone won with a costume that looked like they just hit the random button... This happened at least once.
"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."
I remember showing up for a CC, suffering through all of that time, just standing around, and the prize went to 'Backdoor Betty', who had barely any costume at all.
Of course, then some ladies came along, stuffed wads of cash in my pants, saying I reminded them of a Solid Gold dancer, but I wouldn't know what that was. I replied that I Did know what a Solid Gold dancer was and activated my 'flashy move'. So we all laughed and I thanked them for the funds.
I don't believe I ever entered a CC again. That was on Liberty, though.
Be Well!
Fireheart
Once, there were 4 contestants in a CC. I came in 4th! Not even a shiny (or dull) Nemmie button as a consolation prize!
*heavy sigh*

I played on Pinnacle all eight years with Shnax in the name of all my characters. I ran and founded the supergroup named The Last Division of Heroic Escalation and I was a member of the villain group World Wide Evil Inc. I later joined Jagged Legion in 2009 till the end of CoH. I was also a Pinnacle server PvPEC member and lead many hami raids and pug task forces through the PinnBadges global channel.
Still remember being astonished by winning a costume contest in Port Oakes on redside on Virtue with [b][i]Leggs[/i][/b] my Huntsman/Crab Soldier in her signature darkest purple and hot pink color scheme. Her backstory was that she'd originally been a lingerie model(!) before being kidnapped, brainwashed and put through Arachnos Soldier training ... and ... survived (albeit, not mentally intact). Leggs was 6 feet tall and she was ALL legs (both standing on and having the backpack for more), and she'd wear stiletto heels and micro skirts to show off her fantastic legs ... while mowing things down with her Arachnos Rifle.
Amazingly enough, Leggs appears TWICE in a Samuraiko video for Issue 22, Death Incarnate, at 1:34 and again at 2:09 ... along with Ms Terry (my Warshade, in black and darkest purple) at 1:20-1:28 ... and ... Redlynne (my MA/SR Scrapper) appearing at 1:58 (glowing while running up the ramp) and 2:00-2:07 doing Eagle's Claw kicks in the flashiest manner I could possibly do.

Samuraiko even gave Redlynne a rather unusual "walk on" appearance in her Issue 21, Convergence video at 2:44 in First Ward, which I am still grateful for.
