What to say? Hehe most of the current community out there has never heard from me aside from a "hi and thanks" or "thanks for the team/tf/trial". I've never been one of the talkers, I just show up, do what I'm told, and do the best to my ability; a soldier if you will. The news I found out today got me thinking about all the awesome times I've had the 7+ years I've been playing.
I started CoH in 2005 after graduating college. My two best friends got me into the game. I was never one for computer games and the thought of monthly subscription fees boggled my mind (this coming from a console gamer, and yes I don't have xbox live to this day). Anyway, they got me to crack and I'm so glad they did. They were on Champion server, so I joined with them and we formed the SG Calibur. My two friends have since left the game about 3 years ago, as have all the members we met since formation. I'm proud to say that we did crack the Top 100 SG list and have stayed on the list to this day.
As all my friends were leaving the game, I got to thinking that my days were numbered too. But the Champion community kept me going. My friend @ResplendentMs told me about BMT. It was my first taste of the actual Champion community. Lemme say you guys/gals are awesome. I loved that ya'll were helpful and friendly, and the advertisements for teams/tfs made it easy and fun to find stuff to do. Since then I've joined other wonderful channels (ChampioNexus, ChampionsUnited, ChampionTrials), the camaraderie never ceases to amaze me.
Long story short, I will very much miss this game, but I will miss the people that I have met and fought alongside with the most. You all set the bar so high that I'm not even considering another online game, the other communities just wouldn't even compare. So with the long diatribe over, this silent soldier will see ya'll in the trenches up until the very end. THANK YOU so much for making it a fantastic 7+ years!!!!!!!!
