After just over a two year absence from CO and this board, I've finally gotten the trifecta (computer, internet, time) to work together. Considering I wasn't a big poster or that great player of this game, I don't expect much, if any, fanfare.
So much has changed since I last played! The tutorial's quite different (some good, some bad), vehicles, new powers, and a plethora of different additions that overwhelmed me when I first logged back into one of my old toons. Since I'm not gold anymore, and can't afford it right now, I converted one of my gold toons to a silver one to keep playing him. I thought it'd be slow going at first to get back into things, but I've found I'm getting the hang of things again.
The sad part of this, well, what I consider the sad part, is the loss of friends. While I know situations change for everyone, I still was shocked at just how many are simply gone, up to and including two Super Groups I had toons in. I just made my first friend since rejoining the game that I've been RPing with the last few days, but I wish I'd been able to keep in contact with the others.
Well, anyways, I'm happy with some of the changes to the game, upset at others, and in general glad to be able to return. If anyone wants to find me ingame, my handle is the same as my username here, and I most often play as my toon Simian P.I., whom I'm surprised still gets good comments.

Hey welcome back!
A two year absence...yeah things have changed quite a bit since then. Short and sweet version of it is that CO is basically in maintenance mode right now. It gets no meaningful development at all. A handful of temporary events with some vehicles is about it. A recent post from the community rep said that things like new powers aren't out of the question yet, but things like new zones are not feasible at this time.
That's really the reason why you're seeing so many people gone. A few new alerts every once in a while doesn't do much for player retention. People get bored of rolling alts and running the same content over and over again, so they move on. My own SG (SECRET) is basically gone now.
Best advice I have is just enjoy CO for what it is now and don't have any expectations to future content. It will save you much frustration in the end.

Hello and welcome back, as Lantesh as already told you quite a bit has changed in 2 years, i took a break from the game as well and when i came back i felt like a real noob, but i kind of got back into it and i still log in from time to time. I mostly just try and level up some lower level alts but like you most of my friends on my friends list are now offline and probally busy playing other games (i have been on other games myself), there are a bunch of us here on the forums still playing so don't feel like you are alone , check out the Super Group Recruitment threads, we have a Freedom Forums SG for anyone in this forum who wants to join. I'm still on the SECRET chat channel Lantesh and i have several toons in there still i think so feel free to add me if you want, again ingame name is same as username here.
