Sad to hear that.
You've done a sterling job of allowing people to feed their CoX habit while unable to actually play the game. And for that I salute you.
Thank you for all your work over the years Mids 
Happy to be on Defiant.

The passing of an age , although at least the designer itself will carry on to remind us of your awesome.
Thanks for all the work you've put into your immensely useful program Mids and best wishes for your future endeavours whatever they may be!
Hmmm when I first decided to use Mid planner it was cause I'd teamed with the player, a tank that does the crazyman thing, and thought that's the way of thinking I like.
It better still be called Mids or I'll......... um sulk or something cause it's still the best damned tool developed for this game.
The amount of effort you've put in has always been appreciated here and I hope what ever is distracting you is a good thing

As I read it he's not leaving the game, and the hero planner's not going away either, but the reins of the planner are being passed to Steiner as Mids doesn't have the time to devote to it any more (and I'm guessing the time required to keep it working and up to date is not insignificant).
But as others have said, thanks for your efforts and planner, Midnight.

well...uhhh....good luck...i...guess.
I think Blue Rabbit summed up my feelings as well...
Thanks a lot for all the time and effort you put in.
I think this is a prime example of how you don't miss or appreciate something until you loose it.
Thanks for the great app & passing it on rather than abandoning and leaving us all poorer.
Mids has probably changed the way people play CoX more than anything else, thanks!

[/ QUOTE ]How so? There were other planners before it, Mids' is just the newest one in the line. Of course it's much improved over the previous ones, but it's not that revolutionary as a concept.
Thank you for all the hard work you've put into the Designer over the years.
I would have certainly made some horrendous 'errors' if it hadn't been for being able to plan out certain builds.
I can understand why and might be more surprised you have been able to provide this service for free as long as you have. "Thanks" is all I can say to you.

Talk about killing it. Jeez..
Sorry to see your no longer hands-on with the designer, probably the best I've used! Top notch work though, allowed thousands possibly to create their future toon.
Hope you still stick around my friend!

Sorry to hear this, but as someone else said here, i hope this is because you now have something else "better" (what could it be???) to focus on 
/signed/ to every positive comment here on the contribution to the game that MID's HD has made. its the mutts nuts as a program and does exactly what i feel a toon planner for CoX should do, and some, and was well worth contributing a little to Midnights beer fund for.
Glad to hear though that your still going to be part of the CoX community. Also happy that your handing over future development so that MID's as a tool will carry on being the great thing it is. 
Alas, the time has come for me to retire from development and maintenance of Mids' Hero/Villain Designer.
It's sad to say, but I'm not able to give it the level of attention and time that I could in the past.
So, with that in mind, I've taken the difficult decision to pass it on to someone who can give it the level of commitment it needs, as I'd very much like it to remain available and useful as a resource for the CoX community.
Steiner at the Titan Network has agreed to take it on, and will be handling future updates and such. Though I'm sure I'll be checking up on him from time to time to keep him on the straight and narrow.
I'd like to thank the community as a whole for the support and positive feedback you've always given me, I've very much enjoyed my tenure as 'planner guy'.
