Has it been three weeks since the last thread "name wipe" thread was posted in?
Let me go look!

So you could have read that thread and added to it without it being a necropost.

Actually a bunch of people have come back from absences of 3 years and more since the game went FTP.
But you're not going to be swayed by such rational arguments, so here's a picture of Gary who is Getting Down to Business.
"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

But it is a terrible idea that won't happen as per Dev statements.

Actually, I suggest that every person who creates a name-wipe thread has all their characters name-wiped.
Everybody wins!

Hm.. I wonder if we should start a new thread discussing the end of 2012 over/under range for threads with this topic, and the power set "respec" requests...

I wouldn't worry about those name wipes anymore. ... 
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.
R.I.P.
Chyll - Bydand - Violynce - Enyrgos - Rylle - Nephryte - Solyd - Fettyr - Hyposhock - Styrling - Beryllos - Rosyc
Horryd - Myriam - Dysquiet - Ghyr
Vanysh - Eldrytch
Inflyct - Mysron - Orphyn - Dysmay - Reapyr - - Wyldeman - Hydeous
Don't worry, there will be a huge name wipe coming Soon™.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
well. technically all the names will be wiped when they shut the servers down....
bummed right now.

Effective immediately, all development on City of Heroes will cease and we will begin preparations to sunset the worlds first, and best, Super Hero MMORPG before the end of the year. As part of this, all recurring subscription billing and Paragon Market purchasing will be discontinued effective immediately. We will have more information regarding a detailed timeline for the cessation of services and what you can expect in game in the coming weeks. The team here at Paragon deserves special praise for all that we have accomplished over the last 5+ years. These developers are some of the most creative and talented people in the gaming industry. By now, weve all been given this news internally, but to anyone who may be reading this message after the fact; know that your hard work and dedication has not gone unappreciated or unnoticed. To any potential studios looking to grow your team; hire these people. You wont regret it. To our Community, Thank you. Thank you for your years of support. Youve been with us every step of the way, sharing in our challenges, encouraging us to make City of Heroes better, more than everyone else thought it could be. We couldnt have come this far without you. I implore you all, focus on the good things of CoH and Paragon Studios. Dont dwell on the how or the why, but rather join us in celebrating the legacy of an amazing partnership between the players and the development team. Thank you, and Ill see you in the skies, one last time. Andy Belford Community Manager Paragon Studios. |
As for me I guess I'll be playing GW2 from now on.

Devs would post more if they could say "hi!" without people whining because they wanted them to say "hello".

So I'm just curious to learn if the OP is happy that he'll be getting that name wipe he asked for.

Oh the irony..
Be fair, the OP wanted a name wipe (a common request, with a common and reasonable response from the regulars).
HE DIDN'T ASK FOR THE GAME TO CLOSE. Why would he be any more happy with it's closure than anyone else? Does anyone think THIS request was the tipping point?
Sorry about shouting, I'm a little raw right now.
�How do I like my MMOs? I like them the way Paragon Studios used to make them.� - a fitting tribute from kiasa.org
EU, Union mostly.
If a name wipe happens in a forest that's just been burned to ash and cinder, does anyone hear it?
and the OP just wanted some names he wanted, which is silly and covetous but not evil.

LMAO you SHALL get your request granted come November 30, 2012 when the servers shut down for good. I just think it's funny you probably unknowingly posted this the same day it was announced that Paragon Studios was shut down by NC Soft and the game was being shut down for good.|
