Box #12 is City of Heroes (2004-2012), a superhero MMORPG. I am not kidding when I say this DEFINED my life for over a decade, on official servers and beyond. It was the first MMO game to have a modern urban setting and to divorce character stats from appearance, allowing amazing customization.

I made dozens and dozens of original characters; "OCs," if you will, to experiment with different builds and narrative concepts. I roleplayed. I even prototyped characters that'd end up in visual novels, like Penny Larceny. I made friends, I wrote stories, CoH was everything I'd ever wanted.
