Titania: You wish to see the distant realms? Very well. But know this first: the places you will visit, the places that you will see, do not exist. For there are only two worlds — your world, which is the real world, and the other worlds, the fantasy. Worlds like this are worlds of human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. What is important is that they are there. These worlds provide an alternative. Provide escape. Provide a dream, and power, provide refuge, and pain. They give your world meaning. They do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.

...and a Sampling of Villainy!

Coreth (formerly known on VV1.0 as Ebon Storm) started out messing around in the MMO world with Star Wars Galaxies in 2005, with his main character Coreth Landwalker, a Master Ranger/Master Rifleman...at least, until the hated New Game "Enhancements" which removed his main profession entirely, trashed the game interface and combat system, and drove off a very large chunk of its playerbase-including him. He'd gone back a couple times after a year passed and having heard of design changes that made it tolerable...but the damage done to his friends lists and the continuing direction of the devs there finally permitted him to leave it behind forever.

Okay-that's enough with the third person.

In that bleak year, I spent my time in World of Warcraft using Coreth as a Protection Spec Warrior. I actually enjoyed my time there, but the raid-centric attitude of the game at maximum level and an inability to get into a guild that I felt comfortable in eventually led me to exit that game too. I bummed around a bit in Lord of the Rings Online as well, poked my head into EVE Online, but none of them really seemed to offer what I was looking for.

Enter City of Heroes. I'd been playing CoH for a while before September-ish '07, having spent most of my time on the Protector server with a villain. At about that time, I was interested in trying out life in the "unofficial RP server", I rolled up a hero and started playing-and haven't spent any time on Protector since! I've had a blast on Virtue-enough so that I transferred my main villain from Protector to Virtue to continue his villainy here!

I've always been a big fan of the wiki concept, and wasted no time in starting to make use of Virtueverse. I became a sysop for the site on August 8, 2009 and immediately went to war on the spambots that had been invading at the time. I continued to play on Virtue in an assortment of supergroups until the game closed down.

With the release of the game code to multiple servers, I began to roll new characters on Homecoming's Everlasting server, glad to be returning to the City of Heroes for as long as it can last.
