Kheprera

My SG on an Eden Trial. Two of the members (I was on a dark/dark defender) were on a Fire/Shield Scrapper and an Electric/Fire Scrapper.

When we hit the final room with the massive mobs of Devouring Earth, I could barely move I was laughing so hard. Kyria would charge in with Shield Charge as Xarthax used Lightning Rod.

Massive amounts of exploding DE was just totally, pancakingly hilarious.

Now I want to do that One More Time and Demorecord it then place it to Yakitty Sacks.

Just because you're moving out of the house does not mean you've moved out of the family. There will *always* be a room for you, a place set at the table, and a warm Welcome Home whenever you decide to visit.

As TonyV said, and I will second, all you need to do is ask, and a letter of recommendation will be sent. Your dedication to this community, to seeing us be our best, will always be appreciated.

Never Goodbye.

Until We Meet Again.

On the Titan forums (linked at least twice above) there is discussion on how to save them at the moment. There's a LOT of knowledge on here at least worthy of archiving. If they will continue in another format is hard to say right now.

If the CoH forums go down we have:

The Titan Network’s Save Paragon City forum where all efforts are consolidated.

#SaveCoH #SaveCoX often trending on Twitter.

Numerous Facebook Groups: I miss City of Heroes, Save City of Heroes, City of Heroes Can not Leave, Save Our City of Heroes, and many others.

The main City of Heroes Facebook and Google+ pages (are there any Google+ SaveCoH pages?)

The petition at Change.org that is nearing 19,000 signatures (keep them coming!)

Quite a few Media Articles including one iReport vetted by CNN (and the comments left at all of these)

Numerous Videos and other campaigns…

The SaveCoH drive is going strong and even if they take the main CoH forum down, it will not stop us. We won’t give up.

We are heroes. This is what we do.

Bravo, sir!

This idea is so many levels of *awesome*.

The truly sad thing is that NCSoft would have likely seen an uptick in sales from i24, i25, i26, and the Super Secret Project the devs had been working on.

I haz a sad. :'(

I ran a local BBS on my upgraded Amiga 500 (he got the car and carpayment in the divorce, I got the computer. Best deal ever!).

Back then my 52 KB hard drive was amazeballs...

Then my cat spilled Coke on it... >.<


*sighs*

:'(

Dammit Steelclaw... stop making me laugh and cry at the same time!

I, too, have server transfer tokens. My time is generally restricted to after 9pm CST, though (7pm PST). I'd love to be in on this with Mally.

No worries, Zwill. That you're still here helping is more than can really be expected. You are the best CM and will gladly tell any of your prospective employers that.

And, because it seems you need it...

*Mally hug!*

Okay, here's Mally!

Okay, sent in seven costumes of seven of my mains.

I'd send more, but... that wouldn't be fair to others.

I'll work on this tonight TA.

I will do so tonight when I can log on.

Here is my letter. I have arthritis, but I did handwrite it out after typing it on the computer. I have to wait a couple hours before writing the second one...

"Most Honorable Sir,

I am one of a thousand voices who lives and loves the game City of Heroes,and mixed in with the cacophonic chorus is my story.

City of Heroes is more than a game to me. It is a home. It is family. Most important to me, this game gave me something I never had…

When I discovered I could design and build my own base, I suddenly felt a connection to my grandfather. A man I never got to know. He was an architect and was killed in a plane crash two weeks before my mother’s 14th birthday.

Please do not take this from me. Please, do not let this game die. Listen to your fans, your public, your playerbase.

This game makes us all happy. World-wide and across language barriers we live, love, learn, and laugh together. Compared to other games we are small, but it is a big part of our lives. I have found life-long friends here.

Heroes never die. Heroes don’t give up. We are heroes. This is what we do.

Do the right thing. Be brave. Be a hero.

Save CoH."

Thank you for that link. Just edited my letter to NCSoft.

I'll post it later when perfected.

Deep in the heart of Texas....


Which is also where I am. Added!

Positron, this isn't just to you, but for all the devs.

In October of 1998 I was in a car accident. I suffered a back injury at that time that is still undiagnosed (another rant for another time). At the time I was working for a store called Computer City which had just been bought out by Comp USA. When I returned to work with a doctor's letter stating I needed a stool at the register (I worked customer service) so I didn't have to stand all day long, they put me on forced extended leave of absence until I was "at 100%."

Six months later a similar thing happened to that store as what happened to Paragon Studios. The Big Wigs came in around 11:00 am. By 1:00 pm the doors had been locked, the lights shut off, and the employees sent on their way.

In the meantime in an effort to make ends meet I had to take a temporary job at the Internal Revenue Service as a Data Transcriber.

In retrospect that was the best thing to ever happen to me. Now, I am a Project Manager, permanent on staff, and doing something I love... working with graphics and writing. Sure, it's not fiction, and the graphics are tax forms, but I love the people I work with (even if we get on each others nerves).

So, while the door to this chapter in your life may have been closed, another is opening. As my main, Mally (an exiled Christmas Elf who is now the personal assistant for a demonic lawyer) would say... "Just because it's something that seems bad doesn't mean it has to end that way."

I have been playing RPGs since the summer of 1981. I've been an observer, a player, a GM, a world builder. I've played Basic D&D, AD&D, D&D 2nd ed, 3rd ed... I've played all incarnations of Hero System/Champions system, Gamma World, Top Secret, GURPS, White Wolf, and so many others I can't begin to name them. Through all those games, the superhero genre was by far the one that appealed to the comic book collector side of me.

For all the gamer girl experience I've had, I was never interested in "paying $60 for a computer game only to shell out more money every month to actually play it." I think those were my exact words when Ultima Online hit the shelves at Computer City.

In 2006 City of Heroes made me eat my words. Suddenly here was a place I could make my amazing characters from a massive stable of work I had. I could tell their stories, share them with other players, and I tried to.

What's more, since my accident, I've lived in constant pain. Walking, even standing, can leave me in tears. Playing City I could transcend that pain and walk, run, and even fly, all while beating the bad guys up and saving the world.

Then I met The Dawn Enterprise Group. I merged my single-person SG with their coalition, and began to earnestly tell my stories and merge them with your game world.

Those stories will live on. The lore you provided, which has shaped the lives of my characters and others, will live on. As in all other games I've run, when something poignant touches the lives, or shapes the characters in such a way as Statesman getting Mally out of the Zig, or Nemesis being behind Serena finding the love of her life (we still swear it was a Nemesis plot!) then that lore has become a part of my game and I keep it there, with your permission, of course.

I will continue to follow you on Twitter and hope that the door you choose to go through finds you in the best of possible places.

And that goes for each and every one of us. We've made friends here and, as long as we make the effort, just because this game is ending, doesn't mean it's the end of this community. For those who have the new Facebook Groups and forums and everything, thank you.

Keep your memories, keep on gaming, and...

Can I haz your stuff?

I have two guesses...


Arcanaville or BillZBubba

1) The people and community. I made some really good friends here.

2) The Character Creator. The one thing I could spend hours in.

3) The Devs. Sure, I didn't always agree, and had some snide comments about keeping The Best Costume pieces reserved for NPCs only, but you guys tried and Zwill even pronounced my name correctly on a Ustream.

4) The story arcs... they were just beginning to get good and solid.

5) Everyone here. I'm going to miss you guys.
