We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding with this matter.

The North American and European City of Heroes servers will be offline for extended maintenance on Tuesday 15th September 2009.

Start Time: 6 AM Central (12 PM British Summer Time and 13:00 Central European Summer Time)
Expected Duration: 5 hours
Expected Finish Time: 11 AM Central (5 PM BST and 18:00 CEST)

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience

Feedback is important to our development process, there are two types of feedback and both are helpful although some give us more insight and are more easily adapted into game changes.

Objective Feedback: Objective feedback is based upon what you as a user see or experience that other users may also see and experience. This feedback usually can be replicated easily as it involves facts and unbiased opinions. Example: When using the base editor items are sometimes getting caught in columns or pillars.

Subjective Feedback: Subjective feedback is based upon how you feel or experience the game as yourself. This experience may not necessarily be replicated because it is based on feeling and emotion. Subjective feedback is important to us but it is usually helpful if more information is present to describe what and why you feel the way you do. Example: I like the way the graphics look on my shield animation it gives me the feeling of being truly super-powered.

Have fun!

Thanks for playing my request!

Also wow, haven't heard switchblade symphony in years. Saw them a couple times in concert back in mid 90's. Had almost forgotten them

Wow my posting is boring. I recommend personally removing Moderator_08, since the reason for that account is so that I can do stuff not tracked by the Community Digest. Regardless, thanks for creating this tool!

Thanks Maynia!

Updated the OP, thanks Kheldarn!

I have the nirvana + rick mashup stuck in my head permanently.

Well I want to write a reasonable well written post on this subject, it is fairly late at night for me and between crunch time for Comic-Con and the Forum Migration I've worked a fairly obscene number of hours in the last two weeks so I'll try and make it concise.

Given that we're all getting to know one another, we all need to exert a special effort to understand the cultural differences that exist between what were formerly the NA and EU forums. In my experience interacting with members of the European CoH community I have generally found you folks to be well spoken and reasonable, but with certain understandable differences in perspective from the North American community that have occasionally caused the need for moderator action.

If we do need to have a discussion about some issue or another, rest assured we will attempt to reach a positive understanding with anyone about exactly where the lines are drawn in this brave new forum world and what is reasonable for all of us moving forward.

If you have any questions for me or any other member of our Community Team please feel free to ask. We all try to answer any reasonable question we receive although please understand that at times the volume of communication can cause a significant delay. We love talking with members of our community, but sometimes things can get a bit hectic.

Also if there is anything you think we need to be aware of (although we do have the lovely Avatea to help bridge any misunderstandings that occur) or any support you folks feel you need as a community please feel free to let us know. We can always offer our perspective and advice if not more concrete aid.

Anyways, I am glad to have all of our CoH family together finally and can't wait to interact with you folks on a more frequent basis.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Just so you folks know, we do have definite plans to address this. Lets all get settled in and have the boards running smoothly, and this will be the next thing we address. I promise.

Ye, and the people asked, and the mod spaketh to them and said "In the time still to come there will be new improved emoticons" and there was much rejoicing.

Objective Feedback: Objective feedback is based upon what you as a user see or experience that other users may also see and experience. This feedback usually can be replicated easily as it involves facts and unbiased opinions. Example: On the villain skin links are unreadable because of the color.

Subjective Feedback: Subjective feedback is based upon how you feel or experience the forum as yourself. This experience may not necessarily be replicated because it is based on feeling and emotion. Subjective feedback is important to us but it is usually helpful if more information is present to describe what and why you feel the way you do. Example: The villain skin is very nice, I wish the hero skin was as nice because I mostly play heroes.
