NCSoft Closing Paragon Studios

Please stop quoting the troll.

Despite my many differences of opinions with people on the forums, I'm going to miss having those arguments just as much as I will miss everything else. I never took any argument personally and the next few weeks will be the last time I get to chat with friends and spar with opponents who have all been members of the best damn MMO community I ever met.

Dear Paragon Studios: Thank you for so many years of good times, good memories, and good friends made through the game. Good luck in the future.

Dear NCSoft: @#$% you. I've been a loyal customer since 2004. I even bought Guild Wars and Aion, though City of Heroes has always been my home. Now you pull the rug out from under us like this on a game that was still going strong? You've just guaranteed that I will never EVER buy another NCSoft game again. And you can bet your @#$ that there are lots of other customers like me.

Dear NCSoft,



Sincerely,

Forbin_Project

I remember those words and at the time, they were just words. Now they ring more truth now than ever.

Instead of a making a new thread, this is my goodbye.

I can't really convey this in words, I just found. This community was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I think I really felt at home here, more then, say, school where I have/had only one group of good friends.

And my good friends here, specifically, were some of the nicest people I ever met, and likely shaped my personality in ways I don't realize. It will be a shame to lose easy contact with them, and I know even if we get solid contact we will drift because CoH was a bond.

The Devs were amazing, too. I have not seen any creator/s keeping such frequent and personal contact with the viewers/players/listeners.

In short, I think CoH is best viewed not as a game, but rather as a community, and that's what I'll miss.

As for the actual game, I never accomplished much. I never got a single Master of X badge, and never had a character to have the four status accolades. I'd only had three 50s in my entire time in CoH, one I'd like to forget entirely because it was PLed. But the game always felt rewarding, and I'll miss that too.

So about how much $$$ you think it would take to save this game?

They just sucked the joy right out of the last few months that will be left for this game.. November 30th. A few days after my birthday. I love this game but what's the point if they're closing the doors in November? I want to play and work on my characters but there's no joy in that anymore because after that date they'll all be gone. Aside from all the money I just recently spent buying points, I'd never be able to decide on who to play on the last few weeks of this games existence because it'll just be…gone. I can't even make sense of this. What toon do I spend my last few weeks on? I have so many I enjoy playing and working on… None of the other super heroes-esc compares to this one.

NCSoft will never see my money again and I'd better get a refund seeing as how i'm paid up till February. Heartless bastards.

This is a damn shame. I'm sorry Paragon. Hopefully there's something we can do.

Go to the forums and read about their progress in creating a player run server for CoH, THIS IS COH'S BEST CHANCE.

Coders are needed quickly as there is work to be done that can't be done once the servers are down.

I cannot express how gutted I am to hear about this.

I've ran two accounts for over four years and it's given me so much; a distraction during the bad times, good friends and hours and hours of entertainment.

I'd keep paying my subs even if there was never another update because there is so much to do already.

If there's anyway to reconsider this, I'd like to ask that it is reconsidered.

If not ... best wishes to the NC staff who've just been dumped on too. Thanks to the friend who introduced me, to the friends I've made and the great team mates .. thank you for the fun.

And to the person who decided that closing this down would be a good idea ... you are a flaccid excuse for a human being. The decision, the way it was announced to players and staff was disgusting.

I'm hoping the full story of why the closure is made comes out because I'd hate to give money to whoever caused this; whichever company you're in.

Best wishes to the Titan guys for trying to keep CoX alive.
