All good things...

Can I have your stuff?


...But seriously, great work on the game over the past six years. I'll definitely be interested in whatever your next project is.

'Tis a shame to see you go. The power sets you helped create are all pretty awesome in their own ways. Not sure how far back that goes, but your work definitely shows, even when you're touching up the old, rusty sets. I hope your future endeavors are quite successful.

Well, Castle. I do wish you the best. But this kinda cheeses me off. Unfortunately for me this is a DOOM (tm) sign. Let me hope I'm wrong on that. But good luck in whatever you do Castle. You'll be very very very missed here.

Aww, please don't leave us, Castle!

I hope that wherever you end up, you have as much fun as you've had here.

You've more than done your duty to king and country, Castle. Gods speed you to whatever your next step is, and best of luck!

Sorry to see you go Castle, you will be truly missed.

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the game over the years. An for putting up with us.

/salute
I've been extremely happy with power balancing since you took it over. Kudos... let us know where you go.

I’ve been working on City of Heroes in essentially the same role for six years now. It has been a fantastic learning experience and I have become a far better designer as a result of my time here. I’d especially like to thank all of you City of Heroes fans. I appreciate the passion that you feel for your hobby, even when that passion was, shall we say, directed towards me in a rather negative fashion? I have always tried to keep an open mind and treat your feedback fairly. I’ve loved seeing what you have done with the tools we have provided you with. Some of the MA arcs I’ve seen are brilliant and some of the base layouts are simply amazing. I’ve seen costumes made that, quite frankly, are completely beyond my ability despite having access to the exact same tools. Then, there are the wonderful people I’ve met at Hero-Con and Meet & Greets. It has definitely been my pleasure to work with this community. In closing, I’d like to thank you all for the good times and putting up with my sometimes surly nature. Going forward, Synapse and Black Scorpion are the ‘go to’ guys whenever you have a powers or entity related question or problem. Feel free to direct your inquiries to them here on the boards and they will do their best to address them. I’ll have PM’s turned on as Castle until 12:00 Pacific, Friday, December 24. Feel free to PM me or post here – I’ll try and answer or comment as best I can!

Good bye Castle-dev.
Welcome back mysterious Castle-player!

NooooOOOOOoOOOoOOOoOOoooo


I have nothing but a heaping crop of fresh-picked dumpleberries for this:

Well, it makes me sad to see you go, Castle!

My focus generally tends to be more about feel, fun and art and stuff, but I always found myself really enjoying your insights and I especially appreciated your candor in discussing the game. Your participation in completely unrelated topics just meant you were one of us, even more-so.

More importantly, I immensely enjoy the game and the work that you've done.
I love this game and your part in that is no small thing.
Thank you!!

Best of luck in your next venture.

Because I know you can't run from what's in your heart, I know you'll be near. By the by, does this mean I can run my all Stalker teams again without innate fear of having my account tagged by the Masters of Orion?

Thank you, Castle, for the time you took to answer my sometimes drunken and incoherent queries about FF.

Good luck in everything you take on

You're going to work with your brother, aren't you? Holy crap yes if that is so. Just give a wink wink, or a nod if you can't particularly say right now.

Castle, I will miss you. You're the last of the developers that would post at least semi-regularly. It seems that our developer interaction now adays is mostly only through outside website interviews and announcements. I wish you well on your endeavors wherever you choose to go. I don't know anything about you but I do consider you a friend. If you're up for it, how about making a blog to keep in touch with your fans?

Cheers, Castle.

You've done a great job making this game fun. Good luck.

Thanks Castle. And good luck in your future endeavors.

Castle,

Sorry to see you go, this game has benefited greatly from your time here. Your willingness to explain games inner workings or your reasons for certain design choices was one of the most refreshing things in these forums. Good luck and godspeed, you'll be missed.

Castle, thanks for all your hard work in service of this community--don't forget that even the quiet ones among us appreciate how full you kept the Dev Digest and how positively you impacted the game. I missed BAB's goodbye (we all did, really) but I won't miss thanking you before you go.

Farewell!

Very (very) sorry to see you go. Good luck wherever you're headed next. Where is that, by the way?

Castle:

For you.

@TURGENEV - Freedom Server / IRON / B.A.N.E / HORDE

Turg Fiction: Ghost in the Machine Acts III & IV coming 2012!
Turg Fiction: IX is now LIVE on Architect Entertainment!

Good luck, brother. I wish you all the best.

Thanks for everything you've done.

Thank you, Champion.

I've been playing since Pre-order beta for CoH. I always thought I'd get to meet the fabled player-turned-dev. I always thought I'd get to impress him with a story arc, or with an amazing costume design, or a cleverly-worded PM about a new powerset. I always thought Castle would just be here as long as I was.

In short...what the hell?! Also...good luck on whatever you do, buddy.

Before you leave can you fix that thing you broke? What was it called...PVP, can you fix pvp?

I'm beginning to feel a real sense of loss of connectivity to, what I felt was one of the best Dev teams out there, the loss of communication was felt with the loss of Babs and now you, sir. The great communication is one of the main things that sets City apart from other...gamethingies. Know that you will be missed.
