I'm not a drinker, but I too have dived head first into comfort food. Friday night my duo partner and I stayed up until about 2:30 in the morning crying on each others shoulders on chat. Then Sunday night my husband and I took the girls to see The Avengers again, and things kept popping into my head like, "I'm not gonna be able to fly like that for much longer," and "I love capes."

I'm taking the Ben Franklin approach to this. Expect the worst, and be pleasantly surprised if it turns out differently.

Nice look. And before the lights go out, I'd like to thank you for a long ago thing you did. I was still pretty much a newbie to the game, and didn't know you could get ambushed while talking to a contact. I was too used to single player games that freeze during dialogue. I came out of dialogue to find myself surrounded and being pounded, at a time when dying still had consequences.

You came to my side and wiped out the ambush. I thanked you for your help, and you said something breezy like 'any time'. Your name stuck with me, because I thought it was a really interesting one. I have been helped by many players, and helped others in return, but you were the first one to show me what a great, open-hearted community this was. Thanks for rescuing a newbie empath trying to solo.

I think some people are getting hung up on the word 'boycott'. Most of us are not planning some sort of organized media campaign. We are simply refusing to give money to a company we no longer want to do business with.

Years ago, there was an auto shop I liked and trusted. Then one day I arrived to discover that I didn't recognize anyone working there. I was told that there was a new owner, and he had let all the previous mechanics go. I was only there for something minor like an oil change, and immediately they started trying to talk me into a zillion unnecessary services. I never went back.

Was I boycotting them? No, I just didn't trust them anymore. That's how I feel about NCSoft.

Thanks for the suggestion, but no. I'm not really an MMO fan. I tried this game expecting not to last the free trial. But I stayed, because of friends and the community. That won't be at any other MMO.

I very much recommend this course of action. I have dealt with enough customer service departments to know that written letters make a much bigger impact than any other method. Online petitions are worthless. Emails are worthless. Written letters get attention, because they can't be just zipped off in a flash. The fact that the customer wrote a real honest to goodness letter, printed it out, addressed an envelope, stuck on a stamp and mailed it shows that the customer truly cares about the issue. I'm typing mine now.

I just paid our base rent just fine. But the base wasn't locked, just a couple of days past due. Hopefully people will be able to keep their bases until the end as long as they don't let them get locked.

You have my sympathies. I've been screenshoting our base like crazy, trying to hold on to at least the memory of a great place.

I am perfectly willing to say it wasn't GW2's fault that CoH is folding. But that doesn't make me any more inclined to fill NCSoft's coffers.

And to be honest, I wouldn't have played it anyway. I much prefer single-player games, and only tried this game because friends whose opinions I trusted assured me that this one wasn't like most other MMOs. So NCSoft has lost their one and only shot at my money.

All I can say is that if this is true, that's *two* companies who aren't getting a nickel of my money.

I'll be going back to single player games. At least none of those companies have shown up at my house to take my game discs away.

I much prefer soloing because I like reading the mission text and immersing myself in the story, but I am not big on advocating solo-only content. I think designing missions that can be solo or team by preference is the best way to go.

Increase the number of storage bins allowed per base. It would just need changing a single variable in the code. Or remove the limit entirely. Otherwise I'll be building *another* satellite base for storage.
