I dropped one of my oldest alts yesterday, Snipehunter (NRG/NRG blaster). While I liked the costume, the power set wasn’t sending me, and I just wasn’t getting the “buzz” of excitement from playing him — and, thus, wasn’t. I never even inducted him into the Consortium. Enjoy your retirement, guy.
In his place, O F F I C E R (Optimize For Fighting, Integrated Combat-Engineered Robot, or something like that), a MA/SR Scrapper. He first came to “consciousness” in an alley in the “Outbreak” neighborhood, and just started in on fighting crime. Lots of robotic goodness (even if he keeps being sent after Clockwork …), and the MA power is fun. He’s my current lowest level character, and I’ll be running him with Margie’s Deep Dark Earth controller once I get a bit higher in level.
Margie and I are toying around with a matching “husband and wife” team. That bodes ill for a couple of the remaining underplayed characters (working on the assumption that we want to keep them on Champion).
I’ll have to remember to delete Snipe from all of my friends lists.
Good news is that I had my first good non-consortium/testerfolk team in over a week, and MoFo hit 16th.
Zapp rocks.
Zapp/aim rocks even more.
Interesting question — if an alt is deleted from the server, do records of it remain in Friends lists and others?
