No one has to read all 5 pages of the thread to see the OP's posts, nor do most foruim members simply jump to the end and go off uninformed. |

They only have to click on a posters name
then select "view more posts by"
And that gives them a list of the forum members posts. Then all one has to do is scan the name of the thread and quickly review what he or she has said.
It's a quick and easy method to keep track of a threads development.

VIP system was a hit and a miss sadly.
Good bye CoX universe. 
I have to admit that I no longer feel like a VIP.
That is not, however, Paragon's fault.
All together now -
Thanks, NCSOFT!

Well, you don't have to worry about too many new AT sets and costumes coming out or Paragon forcing you to spend your money anymore...

Ok, yeah, now I don't feel like a VIP either.

"To die hating NCSoft for shutting down City of Heroes, that was Freedom."
Exactly. NCSoft showed us all just how important we are to them.
We're so important they did the equivalent of coming to our homes and taking a big dump in our front lawns. New power sets? Screw you.
Power pool customization? Screw you.
New arcs? Screw you.
The current developer team and their jobs? Screw you.
Finding out what the Coming Storm is? This is it. Screw you.
Finding out what lies in store for the rest of the incarnate slots? Screw you.
Yes. Slap in the face. And to all of you who mocked me? Told you so.
The almighty dollar is more important, rather than the people that provide said dollar.
We're not entitled to an explanation...but it sure would be common courtesy to tell someone that's been faithful to your product for as long as some of us have SOMETHING about the why it's done. But....screw you.
I'm at least appreciative that they didn't just pull the plug on the servers when they announced it, but that's more likely just because said servers are paid for until November 30th, rather than any kindness NCSoft wishes to show us.
Yes, this is vitriol I am spewing forth. I'm -hurt-. Offended. I feel like a friend for six years has just told me, "Oh, I never really cared for you."
NCSoft hasn't announced anything...so the why is rumor and speculation, but pretty sure it's got something to do with money. Which is more important that loyalty, it seems. GORRAMIT, I'M STEAMED. They aren't even going to sell it to someone else to run the game. Just going to shut it down. The money I've spent on points? Better darn well get refunded. I want nothing to do with any other NCSoft product. Ever. A boatload of people feel the same way, too. So before you come spouting your everlasting support of NCSoft here.....don't. Keep working for the company that betrayed the rest of us. Be a good little corporate monkey.
Paragon Studios and it's employees deserved better than what they got.
WE as players deserve better than this. My -heart- tells me this, not any logic or facts.
...with math.
