I thought I’d say hello to my City of Heroes/Villains characters again. Now that I am not paying for a second Station Pass subscription, I can check back in on my older games, like City of Heroes and World of Warcraft.

I’m going to check in on my supergals once more. If I can find my CoH disks. ...
