I sent my email.
Dear Executives,
Imagine for a moment that you and your scattered, extended family were planning a weekend excursion to a wonderful place that you loved to visit. You have made the plans, confirmed the reservations, and everyone is excited to go and see one another at this wonderful place. Then, the day before your trip, you are told that you cannot make the trip. Not only can you not take the trip, you cannot see your family again, you cannot go to this place that you love again, and you have no way to see your family all in one place again. Imagine your depression, your feeling of loss, your consternation.
This is what has happened to those of us who play City of Heroes Freedom. On August 31 we were told that we will no longer be able to see our family members in the wonderful place called Paragon City. Do you wonder why we are fighting? Would you not fight to save your family?
This is why I am contacting you. I am fighting to save my family.
My family includes:
@Frazier, my real-life wife and the only player I will have regular contact with once the sun sets on Paragon City. Frazier is a social worker in real life and spends her days working as a therapist with school-aged children with behavioral problems;
@Kurrent, whom I have known for the seven years I have played this game. She is a doctor, a MD, and we have helped each other through difficulties including divorce, remarriage, graduate school, and child-raising. I have seen her daughters grow up from babyhood to young adulthood, and its been marvelous to watch;
@RoseVortex and @Kalkin, the most amazing, resilient couple ever. @RoseVortex and @Kalkin have been pillars of strength, determination, humor, and unconditional love. During the years that I have had the fortune to know them, Rose has gone from needing 24-hour oxygen and being housebound to having a double-lung transplant and attending her childrens PTA meetings. Kal has been a constant font of strength and humor. To see them together reaffirms my faith in the human race.
There are multitudinous others, but these people have made major impacts on my life and I cannot imagine not having them in it. This is a reality that I am going to have to face if the sun sets on City of Heroes.
Do the right thing. Do not let this amazing community fail. Listen to our pleas.
Thank you.
