I just wanted to post this so you will know what the game has done and meant for me.
First I started playing about 8-9 years ago and I have been on and off the game over that time and mostly due to the money issue. I started with an all Electric Blaster named Wildrider.
I remember running the streets of Steel Canyon taking down The Council to get xp. I also remember when I finally got him to level 50 after playing many other toon.
So here is what this game has done for me. First off about 5 years ago I decided I wanted to quite smoking so I used your wonder game as a distraction from the cravings. I vented to fellow members and allowed myself to get in groused in RP my character Zero Unit. Here I am now 5 years later still not smoking.
Second my girl friend and I have bonded over this game have played many many hours together laughing and even crying a little while playing and reading all the wonderful stories you all have written. When we had our baby we even joked about giving hero a Super Hero name..(We ended up going with Keeley for her first name) But we have nick named her Button Girl after one of our favorite groups to beat on.
Third and maybe the biggest thing this game has done for me. I have a 10 almost 11 now year old daughter who was having a hard time with reading. But she loved to watch me play this game. So one day I let her get on and play and I watched her and help her. I guided when she needed it and backed off when she demanded it. She now reads at a 9th grade level and its all because she loves to play your game and loves to read your stories. She says her favorite one is the one about Faultline.
In closing I wish to say that it has broken my heart to see a game I have spent so much time with stayed V.I.P. even when it went free spent $100's of dollars in your store. untold hours in that amazing costume builder. Just up and go. I and many of the other Heroes and Villains of this game are banding together to try and save this game. I prey, I hope, I Fight for the game that has help change my life.
Thank you Riggs "Wildrider" Wild
