An end of an era indeed!, Farewell Zortel 
, I hope when you check back in a couple of Issues time, CoH has some feature that you're after. If you ever decide to try a duty-shift in other Cities I hear theres one thats hiring.

This wasn't what I was hoping for, let down by a damp squid of an announcement, of disheartening information from the Devs, and an issue that could really just be a patch.

It's actually a 'damp squib' that you were looking for.. Squids should be damp (well positively wet), whereas squibs (small explosive charges - such as those used in special efects for gunfire striking walls) should be kept dry or they won't explode...

So would a squid with a grenade be disapointing or reassuring?

So here's me, sucking it down, eating my hat if I had one, and keeping to my word.

You don't have a hat? Aw, come on. Here, fella, you can have mine.
Goodbye Zortel, I will follow you when my account expires.

See you in an Issue or two

Ahh GG, that isn't the case anymore as chances for someone to come back this time, are minimal because of what competition brings and how MA transformed the majority of our player base into...
If CoH programming code is too old that they are afraid that will break if they do any improvements, so they won't touch it, I don't think that newer games that are coming now (with animated hair too!) will have those kind of problems, so doesn't really matter that CoH has 5 years of content to compete because new is always shiny!
And yes, you can have my stuff, although I don't think that they are going to worth anything Soon...
I won't say goodbye, Z. Simply because, for us at least, it's NOT goodbye! Cya later on my IRC server, hun.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Well, maybe what i will say is a bit weird but i've been already thinking you needed a break.
I hope you can find something more suiting your great imagination. If not and you miss Paragon City i hope i will be here to welcome you back.
Take care and have fun

Don't be a stranger hun. Admittedly I am really bad when it comes to not dropping in on people on XBLive or Facebook just to say hi every now and then, so rattle my cage on the odd occasions and say "How's things?" to me.
I don't aim to be reclusive, just seems to happen when I get distracted by something other than CoH.
(Like being a "Paranormal Investigator and Eliminator" on Second Life because I am that stoked for a certain game release on June 19th )

I'll keep in touch by other means, but I'll be sorry not to see you around in game and more sorry that we never managed to sort out that epic RP we sometimes talked about!
Take care, hun. *hugs*

Farewell for now hon , though I'll most likely talk to you later on MSN when I get back from work.

It is sad to see familiar faces go but if you no longer find enjoyment in playing the game its the only sensible thing to do.
Sorry to see you go Zortel.
Good luck wherever you find yourself

Positron's done what John Romero couldn't do.
In another thread I said that depending on the content of Positron's speech, I'd either stay or leave.
Anniversary chaff, a rehash of what the Issue 15 Overview told us in less detail, and the not so shocking news that it'd be on the test servers soon and that instead of it being a closed beta, it'll be a closed beta that everyone can have access too.
Not only this, but the devs seem adamant even when faced with player opinion that new zones are better than working on and improving the abundance of zone (in CoH at least) that we already have, and working on Task/Strike Forces and letting content be provided by the people doing MA stuff.
So here's me, sucking it down, eating my hat if I had one, and keeping to my word.
I'll leave for now. I'll let my account run out, and maybe check on when Issue 16 or 17 is coming out and what content it contains.
Every issue the goalposts for what we're waiting for are pushed back again. If this isn't Issue 15, the one we're waiting for with story advancement and new content, don't call it Issue 15. Call it Issue 14.5 or Issue 14 Extra Edition or Supplimental or 14b or 14 and a half.
See you, Space Cowboys.
Dr Toerag and others are probably right. I could do with a break. But as far as methods of parting go? This wasn't what I was hoping for, let down by a damp squid of an announcement, of disheartening information from the Devs, and an issue that could really just be a patch.
