Dear Champion,
I apologize for sending this message through proxy, but as I let my account lapse into Free 2 Play mode prior to the announcement, I am unable to post on the Server Forums.
Words cannot express how upset I was to hear of the imitate closing of City of Heroes. I had been a fan of the game when it was in early development, and I still believe it to be the best game on the market in its last days.
First of all I would like to say thank you to all of you for the great times we have had in this game. I will look back on my time in this game with fond admiration of the friends I have met and the interaction with this wonderful community. Between Forum Friends days, Tanker Tuesdays, Costume Contests, Task Forces, Server Olympics, and the never forgettable “Hamidon” Raids, there was never a dull moment. When I think of how this game has influenced my life over the past 8 years, I feel like something is missing from my life.
You were all here, and I was so happy to share with you, the birth of my daughter who I named “Dinah”. Telling you all was like announcing this news to family.
I would also like to take a moment to thank the people who made this game the most awesome piece of gaming programming ever. Despite any complaint you may have, it would only take 5 minutes in another game to see how much work, effort and care went into this game. I wish everyone who worked on this game a prosperous future.
As for my future, I will be found on Champions Online. It isn’t this game, but it is all that is left. I am Dinah Might there as well and I invite all of you to join me. I will try to be on City of Heroes until it closes, but I am actually finding it “difficult” and “upsetting” (as silly as that sounds).
To those I don’t cross paths with again, farewell and I wish you all the best in the future. Be proud of yourselves, you created a wonderful gaming community that I have not seen present in any other game. You have earned the right to forever call yourselves:

Champions

I will miss all of you. Our adventures were the stuff of legends. Were there songs or ballads to sing of our exploits and struggles.

Perhaps I will write some.

So if you folks come across some homeless guy in a tattered superhero suit singing "Its all about the Hami-O's" or "Bloody Bay Blues" throw me some change, would you?

<hugs>

I'd like to thank everyone but my memory is about as good as my emping or bubbling, so please don't take offense if you're not here:

Shotty Mario: A lifelong friend I have made here, just a hilarious and creative guy that has kept my ego in check (hard to believe I know ) and had been a lifeline for me.

Ring, Dinah Might, Myrmydon, AceMace, Pep Rally and the rest of the Tanker Tuesday crew: Thanks for showing us how it's done.

Web Chambers, Bronx, Saturn's Rings and the rest of Team Web (FTW): The first to break any part of the game and the last to get caught. Thanks for Master States on the first day, Web made it an absolute breeze.

Captian Blaze and Lord Stryker: Aaaah the Hamidon Honeymoon as I call it, arguing over raids, over leadership, over costumes, over supergroups and still arguing as our corpses were overcome by a Yellow Dawn. What's a game without rivalry? Stryker made himself into the server's villain and say what you will but we were poorer for it when he moved to Virtue.

Steel Brigade and UHB: Honor Before Glory.

It, Heart of 1c3, Shadow Striker, Birdo and their extended friends and family: Just great, down to earth people that you'd want to meet. How many times did It farm that Dreck map to get me levels? A lot. He figured IOs a lot quicker than I did too, heh. Oddly enough they'll never find out CoH closed down because their family has become a greater blessing.

Witty Librarian: October won't be the same without your enthusiastic Shard runs.

Amygdala and Disciple of Horus and the whole Veritas gang: Thanks for making hard content look like a piece of cake and thanks for being a cornerstone of CHampion.

Cobalt Azurean: Boy have we butted heads eh? In the end when PvP and other sgs have taken me away from Champion, you've remained. If anyone has this server to heart it's been YOU, Big Blue! And for that I and we all owe you a debt of gratitude.

AngelsFist, Biotron, Blazing Blue and the HVND crew: Thanks for rolling our PUG 100+ to 2 and getting me hooked on PvP.

Budweiser: I don't think anyone outside Lord Stryker has divided the community so much. I've gone from bemusement to annoyance to hatred to respect all in the time I've been here. Just so many zany ideas, so many crazy schemes and so many PvP events, it's been great.

Marut and ReDorthy: You want bubbles? They've got them...

Earthguard: My new home away from home, Snaz, Marut, Dr. Cobalt, Silas and the rest: Just a great bunch of people. Marut could crack hieroglyphics in no time flat, let alone the new Hamidon encounter.

TrixieBot: Where are you now? Met briefly in 2004 and you said you were going to college...

Void: Just a beast on Stalker in PvP and the global channel shenanigans are endless.

Twixt: Annoyed the hell out of this server, especially...

Dollmistress: Remember her well, her RP flavoured Dominators, her clones and her love of villainy:

Demoniker: If anyone could lay claim to "Badass Villain" it was him.

PantherShade: One of the few to try and keep RP alive on Champion.

Ashcraft: The forum posts and internet meme world will miss you a ton.

WhiteHotFlash: Pure class and all flash, just one of the regulars you'll miss forever.

Demobot: No one breaks Blasters like this guy, who said they need to be improved?

GenderPoison: Adds so much humanity to a videogame...no one will replace her.

Placta: Always first in line to help with ANYTHING, especially trials.

Iltat and the Pingus: Foumouthed and hitting the debt cap like no one's business.

SteelDominator: The ultimate quiet and lethal weapon.

Sepultura: So much evil cannot be contained in this game or any other. Sorry I missed practice Saturday.

ComixGeek: Just an absolute treasure trove of information and so much class to go with it.

Cherry Cupcakes: Just so much zaniness and so much effort put in and outside the game through CAPE, the radio and just the ENERGY. I'll never forget it.

Netminder: Old School and one of the original Tankers. Will miss him so much.

Artic: There aren't enough memes in this world to express how absolutely ******* crazy you are.

Fanged Knight: No one could gather resources or throw a party like Fanged. Will be sorely missed.

Shadow Wail: Breaking TFs, making busted builds and holding his own on the forums, going to miss him a ton.

And there was that one guy that made it big as a real life superhero on TV hmm..

I'm sure I've missed a ton (probably in this thread too ) and I will miss all of you...but even when the war walls come down we'll have the screnshots, the memories and our friendships.
