If City of Heroes closed down tomorrow...

Wait, CoX is still running? (I can't help myself sometimes).

I might go back to MUSHing.

Well, it'd go something like this.

Days 1-6: Lay around in a fugue, trying to get into various single-player games and offline activities and finding myself just instinctively trying to log in to check to markets or run a few tip missions.

Days 7-20: Try out different MMOs and remember that I hate all of them.

Days 21+: Eventually just spend more time on the other stuff I enjoy. Probably read a lot more and start watching more than five anime series a year. Almost invariably, I'd start running a new tabletop game, as I got bottled up with character ideas that would have to go somewhere.

Probably put more effort into SC II (barely touch it these days). I might even give DCUO a real chance. I haven't touched in since the first week I had it or so.

I'd be pretty angry, I just spent $9.99 for an animal pack that I got to use for 1 day!

Spend more time with the wife and kids, do more work around the house

I'd have a chance to finish other games and use the PS3 I got for Xmas more, there's a small pile of games 'stacking' up on that (ahem)

Seeing wife/kids doesn't count really because they're all in bed when I play anyway.

I'd cry and then wait for someone to make a superhero or world of darkness mod for Minecraft.

I would get writing past Chapter 3 in my book and perhaps even finish it.

I know I will finish it one day but I have rewritten the first 3 chapters 4 times and each time it was better. The first 3 are now very good and all I have inflicted them to read for me are actually saying please finish it so I can read the whole thing.

I have to be off for knee surgery a couple of days and so I am hoping I can do a little of both

I'd probably get an XBox or console and play with that.

No interest in grinding to max level and acquiring loot in another game and I have friends I can reach out of game so...the 'next MMO' would need fairly balanced PvP or ease of levelling/acquisition to get me hooked.

That, or a Wild(er) West MMO. Guns & spells? Deadlands? I am so there.
Not likely to happen though...

I would thank the developers and community staff.

I would try to see if Titan network could pull off something.

I would then spend the vast majority of time with my family and only sparadically picking up something for a time here or time there.

It is the nature of life that people would pause to reflect, then either greave or find elation in the end of CoH.
They would then move on to the next thing that held their interest.

I'd take one last trip to the Hive and dance in the bowl until the servers were shut down for good.

First of all, if it closed tomorrow without notice, I would probably cry, and I'm a grown man (I think I am, at least.) Second, I'd see if my VG would wanna try another MMO. I've never not played an MMO, it's always a good way of wasting time and making friends.

Revert to original game type and try to see if I can find a rpg group willing to play Traveller.

I would probably snooker my wife a couple more times a week.

-> TT MA Arc ID 1755 -> Join TankHQ -> Media -> @AceMACE

Play more Killing Floor, finally those highest level perks. Pick up the Battlefield-series again for some hard PvP. Stick with Team Fortress 2 for the casual stuff. I just might breath life into some old hardware lying around to play old favourites like Oni and XIII again, if I find the time.

Oh, and apply for beta to City of Heroes 2. Whatever it'll be called.

I would look for the nearest thing to base editing I could find.

In order:

1) Cry;

2) Play other games;

3) Try to see if NCSoft will license a private server.

Log into Champions Online and troll zone chat, because obviously it'd be their fault!

Um... or alternately go work on my Steam list.

I'm right there with Geko and the others. First thing I would do is cry myself a storm of tears. Then maybe consider getting a gun and trying to find those responsible for the game shutting down and shooting them. But then I'd realize this is foolish and try to log back into the game again, believing that the shutdown was a lie.

Return to crying for a bit, but eventually would just go take a shower and clean myself up and wait for Star Wars The Old Republic. Where all my characters would have City of Hero toon names.

Better never shut the game down, I might come looking for ya!
