This may be my first post in the forums, too bad this is the reason.
CoH wasn't the first MMO I played but it was definitely the first that I truly enjoyed. I took a break now and then but not for other mmos... none of them were good enough after I played this one. I would try one and immediately dump it. Whether it not enough variety, or not enough customization, or lack of easy travel, or being locked into the "holy trinity" or lack of attention to crippling problems, my dissatisfaction with other games knew no bounds.
I have a great appreciation for what the Devs have given us over the years. They took on an extreme amount of work trying to keep this game current and balanced (with varying degrees of success it's true), ironing out snarled code, producing more content and powersets than I would have believed possible, and even found time for a lot of QoL adjustments that we craved. Then they actually lent us their tools so we could create our own stories. As far as I know that's unprecedented.
As far as I'm concerned the Devs here are the most engaged, responsive and hard-working people in the business. I'll miss you guys and hope you will see great successes as you move on. You deserve it.
