I haven't sent one penny Sony Online Entertainment's way since they screwed up Star Wars Galaxies. This response only ensures the same for NCSoft.

Sincerely,
Your dissatisfied former customer,

I will miss every bit of this game.

When that final map server message comes into view I shall shed tears for the last time over this mishandled, depressing mess.

I keep posting this in the wrong place. 3rd time is the charm.


"Does this mean it's over? There are tons of effort out there still trying to change NCsoft's mind. Last we heard was there were talks going on internally."

well done.

I would play through an original Positron's Task Force worth of blue caves if it would save Paragon.

It has floored me twice.

Way to punch me in the heart.

I'll be hanging out in TF2 on various servers. I have no plans to pursue another MMO. This one wasn't perfect but it was my favorite by far.

Hey, Im cross-posting.

I dont guess the rules matter much anymore. Thought I'd put a note on our server's forums just because.

Stay classy my friends.

I sit here bewildered and conflicted in a way that I never expected to be. I've played regularly, for the most part, shortly after i3 or i4. Reading the news today, knowing that soon I'll never again be able to log in as any of my meticulously crafted characters to meet up with my supergroup and bash the ever-living daylights out of the 5th column is honestly and truly staggering. When CoH went F2P I thought it would be around forever.

What a sad reality this day has brought.

I've had the same group of regulars since i8, if not earlier. I feel as though I may actually cry. How silly. A grown man crying over a video game. But I feel like some part of me has been removed and that I'll never get it back.

My friend @Speedbump and I met in this game, forming a friendship that has crossed over into the real world. Soon, I wont be able to make my tired old joke about our team needing a tank (when he is, infact, a very reliable tank on our team).

I wont be able to join up with @Hopper or @Turbospeed or any of the other regulars on Infinity and partake of the iTrials. I wont be able to listen in as @FIare or @MegaBRex crack jokes on skype about how some other player did something so ridiculous. And yes @FIare, Twilight Sparkle will always be best Pony, no matter what you say; but Rainbow Dash is pretty ok too. I guess. Our friend @BlueSigma who always enjoyed setting up mother ship raids, passed away some years ago. Our supergroup, PUAD, kept regular raids going on Sunday nights in his memory. Kanji, we miss you buddy.

Infinity was home for my characters. Even when I had a short trip to other servers, just to see what was there, I always came back to infinity. And now that home is going away.

Right now I'm flooded with memories of TFs and holiday events, invasions, costume contests radio shows on friday nights, winter lords, hamidon raids, inventions, pvp, base raids, GOD how I loved the base raids.

We always hoped they would bring them back. Our SG MOTD was "Can't wait for lvl 51 base raids" ever since they launched the Incarnate System. I guess we'll never get to see how that would have gone.









I will never forget that first time I hit lvl 14 and sprinted to the trainer as fast as I could so I could learn Flight. It was just perfect. The sound, the movement, the freedom of it all. It was what I had always wanted to be able to do in real life. Take off from the ground and watch as the surroundings raced away from me.

This is what City of Heroes was and shall always be for me. Tears in my eyes as I type out what may end up being my last post ever here.

It just doesn't seem fair to me. It honestly hurts.


I always thought Paragon City would be there.



Tears now literally rolling down my face I say good bye to you all. Thank you for the memories. I wish it wasn't over.

So, how did you do Infinity? I was able to get my Water/Time Corruptor from 30 to 50, which is a record for me concerning DXP weekends.

Thanks to everyone for being awesome and teaming.

A few images from the memorial.

Any word on Forms Customization? Powers Customization? Sashes, at least?
Search-fu brought up nill.

Base Raiding, if they would just give us base raiding back.

When it happend, I remember I was in a photography class. I asked to leave almost immediately. Back then I worked as an after school teacher and I knew things would be chaotic at dismissal. I was right. I got to the school with plenty of time to help plan dismissal and adjust for the almost countless changes called in by parents.

No one stayed for our after school program that day. I remember getting something to eat with my coworkers and how eerie it was to be in a restaurant when no one, not even the wait staff, cared about the food. Our local paper ran an 'extra' edition. I still have it. Day of Terror was the headline. The now yellowed pages seemed to be saturated with the uncertainty of the moment.

At the time I lived about a mile away from an international airport. I was accustomed to flights taking off and landing all day. They never bothered me no matter what time it was. But the silence, the silence was very alarming. For sometime after the attack, all flights across the country were grounded.

I recall seeing a military plane flying overhead a few days later when we had our students on the playground. It scared some of the kids. Some of the adults, too.

Hard to say if I've recovered from this. I know that people have taken various stances: blaming the politicians, the sympathizers, the military, the media, associated deities, unassociated deities etc.

I recall seeing a cartoonist's attempt to depict how people felt:
It was an image of Uncle Sam on his knees calling out "Jesus, Buddha, Great Pumpkin, somebody please make them stop!" (or something to that effect.)

I don't really have a closing for this. But these are some of the things that come to mind when I remember the 11th.

We would love an update on Base Raiding please. It has been several years since we lost it. We would like it back. Thank you.

Just stumbled across Murdok's thread. (I'm his brother) For sometime, too long really, I ran a Peacebringer. The PB went through numerous versions, tri/duo/human etc. Underwhelmed over all, especially how I was more of a leach on a team considering how the Kheldian inherent powers work, I prefer to be beneficial to a team. And then I got my Fortunata to 50.

Now everything, I mean everything has been put into my Widow, and I couldn't be more pleased. Ranged/AOE build, teir 3 Cardiac Alpha (45end 20 rng), teir 4 Interface Reactive (75fire/25-res), tier 4 Destiny Rebirth (+hp), tier 3 lore and judgement.

My assessment: +damage and defense and tohit for everyone close enough to me, psy damge (my favorite), pets, procs on almost every attack, TWO crashless novas.

By far my most helpful and fun character to play.

Thanks all for your help
