But now it's time to say "so long."
Thanks, Justice, for all the fun, for all the laughs, for all the friends. Thanks for all the Hami raids, the mothership Rikti kill-fests, the dance nights in Atlas Plaza.
You've put up with my endless innuendos, my bad jokes, my Friday Karaoke Nights; you suffered through the tacklehugs, the smooches right onna cheeks, and the nonstop overdoses of Perverse Sexual Lust, and I love ya all for it.
City of Heroes is the only MMO I've ever played. It's probably the only MMO I ever will play.
I'm glad it was this game.
I'm glad it was Justice.
I'm glad it was all of you.
I'm glad we had this time together.
Be well, be safe, stay cool, stay groovy, stay heroes, Justice!
Your pal and eternal harborer of Perverse Sexual Lust:
Animal

Ok then, "buisnesses are our best friends and out to look out for us and our well being." Now, is that better for you, "Mr miss the entire point to focus on one little niggle"
You're wrong on this. Get over it. -

what buisness isnt a money making scam?
It takes about 3 cents to produce a box of named brand ceral including the artwork, raw maertials and energy to turn it into a finished product. Yet, anyone would be hard pressed to find a box Of Kellogs below $3 if not into the upper end of $5. Pure profits.
It's just another type of service of someone seeing an opportunity where people are willing to pay and they are not willing to stop them.
Even if I accept your premise that there are three cents of material cost in a box of cereal - I don't, but let's start there anyway - you also have to pay for:
- All of the production and transportation costs involved in growing the grain, processing it, and moving it to the mills for production. This includes pay, benefits and so on for all the people involved.
- All of the production and transportation costs involved in producing packaging materials. This includes pay, benefits and so on for all the people involved.
- Fixed costs of the production facility - mortgage and interest costs on the physical plant, capital expenditures on equipment, maintenance costs, property taxes, various other local, state and Federal fees and levees.
- Payroll for your production staff, including benefits and insurance costs.
- Marketing, advertising, product research and new product development costs, including competition research.
Also, at some point you are going to have to show a profit. That's what companies are there to do. Their purpose is not to provide you with yummy goodies for breakfast out of the goodness of their hearts; they are there to return a profit to their shareholders.
So, no, it does not cost three cents a box to manufacture cereal. General Mills, a freaking enormous manufacturer of breakfast cereals as well as many other comestibles, right now is returning a profit margin of 13.55%. That's really not very good. It's a lot lower than the profit margin of companies like Apple at 25.19%.
Please read before making silly statements like this. -

The thought of a 'Family Guy'-based MMO existing makes me weep uncontrollable tears and despair for the human race in a way that the cancellation of CoH never could.

Continue to harbor Perverse Sexual Lust.
Which is, by the way, also what I'll do if the game is not saved. -
Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy."
Oh wait. That's just my theme song. -
Great job on the first video, TA (And there I was, off to the right, about 2/3 of the way through!)
One thought: How difficult would it be to put the taller characters on the sides, and the shorter ones in the middle? Either that or raise the camera higher from ground level. Once or twice the camera went "through" a character, which is a trifle unsettling. -
The Hive. Home of the sexiest tank teams in gaming history.

Quote:Nope. Mrs. Animal and I are yearly subs, due in February (would have been, anyway.) We're both still VIP.Originally Posted by _Pine_
I believe people who had yearly subs got their subs canceled, and are now premiums. The only people that get this month as VIP are the one and three monthers. anyone else got chopped off.
I am not even sure if the year subscribers are getting refunds. -
Propeller beanies. Dammit, I wanted propeller beanies.

PSLAnimal will log out at Happy Andy's Gentlemen's Club and Emporium in Kings Row, whose location is a closely guarded secret.
Either that or at Mermoine's house. -
Five minutes before the servers go dark, I would like to:
1) Assemble as many players as we can under the Atlas Statue.
2) In unison, have them all do the Grief emote.
3) In unison, have them all trigger Self-Destruct.
4) Log out for the final time. -
CoH or no CoH, I will remain Animal, and I will still harbor Perverse Sexual Lust.

Bwuh?
-
Mrs. A and I should be around.

...I've been asking for since I started playing this game in 2005, might just have gotten a little easier to implement. I'm thinking of asking the developers to look into this bit of research.
