Actually, I don't have any examples this time, but what I do have is
an article that remarks on that very phenomenon. It's not
specifically CoH-related, but then, CoH isn't the only game for which
this happens...

Good read

I have to admit; I've often thought that it would be so much better for the
environment if I could just toggle Super-Jump to get to the store in two
leaps, rather than the incredible inconvenience of getting in my car

I know some things wrong with me. When I go to mall I have to stay
away from the rail or not look down because I feel the urge to jump to
the lower levels.

....when you start to navigate Dark Astoria without the map?
....when you know where *all* the shops are in Steel Canyon?
....when you hear the annoying sounds of certain powers in your head even
after you've gone to bed?
....when you hear the annoying sounds of certain powers in your head even
after you've modded them to go away?

Interesting thing, we had snow and cold here in the Chicago area for
the last few days, but today it hit almost 53 degrees in places.

But, as it was warming up, we had some major fog.

So while driving to my different remote locations, with the grey fog,
and limitied visibility, I kept expecting the people to fade out as I
approached them.

At least I'm not hearing my cell phone anymore.

You wake up from a night's sleep, you wonder why you aren't standing on
the tram roof/war wall ledge/store floor?

On a related note, there is at least one good thing about the missing
glowie sound. It used to sound almost exactly like my fridge (which is a
few years old admittedly). I think I may have gained some weight during
the winter...
