IMO WW should have been answering most of the questions rather than Posi (Well from what I heard anyway, damn computer wouldn't let me get onto Test)

Don't believe all you hear from the Q and A session - Positron wasn't behaving badly the way some people say he was
[/ QUOTE ]
Entirely correct. He tried to answer a lot of questions as good as he could without going into discussions. I think he did well considering the amount of questions he got asked.

It's annoying how some posts make Positron into a personification for everything people feel are wrong or displeasing about the game, as was it when the same was done to Statesman.
Give the poor guys a break. They've done some great work, both of them.

I agree.
Both have done great work. It's the future development of the game that concerns me.

Thanks for talking with us War Witch. I appreciated the talk we had over in the Blue D Bar.
You poor poor woman (thinking of the research of all them one liners), but thanks they make me giggle.
Happy anniversary War Witch, may there be many more and even more fun moments. And yes... the Cimeroria music gives me a little chill down the spine when it hits in too.

Well see, this is something that I know you will never understand, but my concern for a game that I love to play is causing me to be critical of it's development.
Like you, I want it to thrive.
Like you, I've enjoyed hours of play here
Like you, I wouldn't want to see the game stumble and fall
Unlike you, I can see where it is going wrong - and I'm prepared to say why I think so.

Lack of smaller hands, lack of turnable/bendable waists, lack of proper bust shapes, lack of animated faces.
Also a lack of animals in the city, likes cats and dogs, and a lack of traffic on the busy streets, and a lack of pedestrians on the busy sidewalks.
A lack of weather features, a lack of changing scenery to go with Giant Monster rampages, a lack of base windows, doors and proper beds.
There's lots of stuff I think is lacking, but that doesn't really make me think the game is any less awesome - just that it could be even more awesome with this stuff in it.
I loved the game before RV came out, before Faultline and the RWZ, before Safeguards and Radio missions, before Cimerora and Ouroboros, before Inventions and the MA, before Rikti and Zombie invasions, before Trick or Treating and the ski lodge - why would I stop loving the game when I loved it before it got all that cool stuff?

All good points and well said.
It is an awesome game - no doubt about it. My concern is the direction that we will be going in, and have been for a while now.
I'm not going to rehash everything here, but I just want to say that when I'm being critical about aspects of the game - it's because I care about it.
Those that have felt compelled to leave today also care for the game just as much as you or I. Personally I feel sorry that it has come to this for them, and maybe we should recognise that the decisions to leave were not taken lightly.
Quite the opposite in fact, I would wager.

We <3 War_Witch!
And we need more Canadian superheroes in game please. Vicki, Fitzroy, Celluci and Gretzky should do it...
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
Thanks for dropping by and making this spirit filling speech for us who didn't make the training server, War Witch.
I read Positron's announcement, too. I don't think it is that bad but a lady knows best way to talk people's heart.
Happy Anniversary and good luck on your future projects.
Thanks, War Witch for such obviously heartfelt sentiment. Sometimes people forget that the Devs love the game as much as most of the community does - your post makes that clear. Congrats on your success - keeping an MMO thriving for 5 years is a major achievement.

You guys are what make the game great.

Without you guys and gals we wouldn't be able to
War Witch for announce-persony-thingy, who also gives cookies, I am totally for that.
No cookies, no announce-persony-thingy!!
(Part bump, part reply)
Thanks, WW. I haven't giggled that much in a while. It's always lovely to hear from you (any of you, actually, but you in particular because you're OMGAWESOMESPECIALFANTASTICANDWELOVEYOU!) and to hear your insanely amusing recollections and anecdotes.
Still loving the game, still loving your dialogue. We want moar!
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*
yeah, like can you pressure Jay into getting us a Hockey Jersey to put that Maple Leaf on or something?
"Well, they found my diary today.
They were appropriately appalled
at the discovery of the eight victims
They're now putting it all together.
Women wrapped in silk
with one leg missing
Eight legs, one body, silk,
spider, brilliant!"
I would just like to say thank you War Witch and all the other Devs for such a great game.
I'm sure the last five years would have been the much poorer, for me and many others, without City of heroes/Villains and heres to many more great years to come
You know what War Witch? You've described everything I've loved about the game, the places to see, the things to do and most of all the people that I've met.
My only gripe? That I didn't get my picture taken with you at Omega Sektor after getting you to sign the book for Mothers' Love. But, you were busy being crowded by all the others who wanted to chat to you and I for one couldn't deny anyone that.
Still, would have been hilarious to actually sit around and chat over a good old cup of tea!
