I shall chip in here because I know you'll read it, and while I think you can see the mahoosive support for you, I still want to tell you myself what you guys has meant for me.


First time I heard about City of Heroes I was a gaming noob who made other people play through the bosses in zelda while I covered my eyes and went "EEEEEEEEEEEEEH" in a very un-manly fashion (although, that should not be surprising because I am in fact not a man).

I had a really epically old laptop, and it couldn't play it. But I was so convinced that I would like the game, that I went and bought it. Then I went out and bought a new computer.

Yes it's true. I bought a new computer -solely- to be able to play city of heroes. (okay yes, it's kinda sad). So I could roleplay on the union server. Hooked from the get-go.
I played through the tutorial, and I didn't know how to change my chat-channels, I didn't know binds. Christ, I didn't even know that the space-bar allowed me to jump! I ran through the entire tutorial without jumping once!

And I met my ex here. And I went over to England from Sweden just to meet him. ....kinda dangerous, but that is my middle name. And while that ended, by then I had made so many good friends. And we've had fights over the years, some left, and some joined. But god-damned in we are a good community.
We organised a player-meet at Alton Towers in England in 2009 for our supergroup, and it's one of the best days ever - and I will cherish that forever.
The community has helped me through up and downs in my life, and I hope so much we will keep this strong even after the game is long gone.

I want everyone at Paragon Studios to know that my thoughts and my hopes are with you. Having just gone through a similar situation, I know it's tough life. I whole-heartedly agree with earlier comments. Keep us updated where you go next, we'll come join you. You are by far the best developer team I've known of. Always keen on listening to your player-base and being supportive of our community efforts.

Keep us updated!

With lots of hugs and love,

-@.Q (or Perplexite)

Sturdy would look like this!




Completely free of artificial.. okay I'm lying! But it's got CombatAid™

Will update with more as I make them!

It will be on the saturday on the DXP weekend, but I think we can manage to tear ourselves away from the hitty for a little while!

A poster has found it's way to more or less every billboard out there, both in Paragon and in the Isles.
