More than eight years later, still one of my favorite City of Heroes videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtyDC_F1tVo
Because it reminds me of how I felt when I first started playing, and everything was amazing to me.
(The double shot at 1:37 captured back when we didn't know how to edit demos still amazes me) -

I am in Arizona, but given enough time and warning, I probably can and will make sure I can attend such a gathering. My biggest regret in my CoX-playing career is never making it to Hero-Con, M&G's, Player Summits or anything of that sort.

That page is just so much fluff. It's meaningless.
They might be trying to convince themselves that they're living up to those "goals", but in the real world, their actions speak the loudest of all. -
My first character, (Which it might surprise you that it is not my namesake), Sir Slasher represents my passion for history. His backstory had him as a history professor at Paragon University until he was kidnapped by Crey and injected with an experimental serum from which he gained superhuman pain tolerance. He chose to become a hero because he sees himself as a modern-day follower of the code of Chivalry. (After all, the values of superheroes in comics and the qualities stressed in the code of Chivalry are not too different, right?)
The Cursed Sorcerer actually came to me at first as a funny idea of "a villain who was forced to do good against his will." However, as I was playing him, he began to somehow develop a strange hidden meaning all his own. There were times in the early days that Dark Miasma Defenders were strangely not in demand and Empathy Defenders were preferred. This was a problem for CS since he was a Dark Miasma/Dark Blast Defender. Incidently, as I am handicapped with Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele IRL, I too feel like I have gone through many trials and tribulations in my life. Personality-wise, I roleplay CS as a person who teeters between depression and outright insanity. He is uncertain what the universe wants out of him, but he knows that whatever happens, he has little control of his fate.
Sir Slaughter has gone through a couple of iterations as I had no idea what I wanted him to become. Essentially, I wanted him to be an evil Sir Slasher counterpart. He went through iterations and retcons where he was Sir Slasher's brother or a former friend. (Think Statesman and Lord Recluse) Then GR came out and I decided "Duh! Sir Slaughter is Sir Slasher's Praetorian counterpart!" In Praetoria, he went through the Power storyline and left Praetoria as a villain. His personality is similar to Sir Slasher's in that he does have a code of honor and he respects the strong (Even having a grudging respect for Sir Slasher) but he is also capable of ruthlessness and great brutality. -
It would be worthwhile to me. Painful at first, but worthwhile in the long run if it were necessary. (Actually I could reroll Cursed Sorcerer ((Level 50 Incarnate Dark/Dark Defender)) as a more appropriate Dark/Dark Controller or Corruptor possibly.)

I will need to get one of those shirts too. I have shirts for pretty much everything that has sentimental value to me... except CoX.

And of course the theme song of sadness itself:

As much as necessary (and that I can sanely afford) to save this awesome game.

Yes. CNN is, if I am not mistaken, the largest and most powerful news network in the world. Publicity can only help us.

But it is nice that there is hospitality outside of City of Heroes. It seems, to me at least, to be rare on the internet.
-
Perhaps, if City of Heroes does go the way of the dodo, I too will move to CO. But I am also loathe to do it even if they are showing hospitality.

Quote:Remember, War Witch. Crying does not make one weak. Crying just shows that you have emotions and no fear about expressing them.Originally Posted by War Witch
You know, I held it together really well yesterday. We were giving our goodbyes, some of the team members stood up and reminisced about what we really appreciated about working on such an amazing game and with the stellar team at Paragon over the last five years.
I had decided early on that I wasn't going to cry. (It was stupid, really, because I cry at Hallmark commercials for the love of pete.)
But when people I'd known for nearly a decade stood up and got tearful, it was the beginning of the end of my composure. Most of us are baffled, and in shock, and we are so sad that such a popular game is being shut down, but I made a personal choice to focus not on what we're losing, but on what has blessed me over the years. (I really do want to maintain grace about this because, in the end, I do not regret a moment of the last ten and a half years and I want to remember the good.)
So (of course) I got teary-eyed.

Indeed. I too will miss this game and even more so, this community.

Perhaps if it utilizes a new engine that allows things that this one would never be able to handle, I could wait if I had to, but I still would like to play good old COH1.

I think the marketing of GW2 was to stop NCSoft from going bankrupt, but that...backfired.

This game isn't being killed because it was unprofitable. It is being killed because NCSoft is an example of a company that always goes for the next shiny, and because they've done that too many times, they feel they have to sacrifice an old game that was actually making money for them.
If there was going to be a COH2, they wouldn't have dissolved Paragon Studios. -
I'll make this easy.

Unfortunately, I do not have a Facebook page at the moment. (Although I am seriously thinking about it now that it may well be nigh impossible to stay in contact with my CoH buddies without one.) -

1) The people and community. I made some really good friends here.
2) The Character Creator. The one thing I could spend hours in.
3) The Devs. Sure, I didn't always agree, and had some snide comments about keeping The Best Costume pieces reserved for NPCs only, but you guys tried and Zwill even pronounced my name correctly on a Ustream.
4) The story arcs... they were just beginning to get good and solid.
5) Everyone here. I'm going to miss you guys.
