Hmmm, so first the death of Statesman... then the death of all our toons.....
I see the barrage of replies now to the thread, can barely catch up.
Well, looks like this is the beginning of our goodbyes then, but I'll reserve mine for closer to the end date I suppose....

Once we get a timeline, we ought to have a serverwide event.
Don't care what or when, but a chance for us to all say our farewells.

Paragon Studios' employees terminated, superhero MMORPG to cease operation by November 30. City of Heroes developer Paragon Studios is being closed by NCsoft, and its superhero massively multiplayer online role-playing game is set to go offline by November 30. The studio's about 80 employees have been laid off and the game, originally released in 2004 by Cryptic Studios with development assumed by Paragon (then NCsoft NorCal) in 2007, will begin to sunset immediately. Old heroes never die, they just fade away. "Both NCsoft and Paragon Studios are incredibly proud of the success of City of Heroes, but unfortunately, the continued support of the franchise no longer fits within our long term goals for the company," said Lincoln Davis, NCsoft West director of corporate communications. "All employees at Paragon Studios are affected by this decision, including the management team." Paragon Studios community manager Andy Belford announced in a blog post that City of Heroes' cash shop and subscription billing options will cease immediately. He praised both the developers and the community which enjoyed their efforts. "To any potential studios looking to grow your team; hire these people," Belford said. "You won't regret it." |

Nov 30th isn't good for me.
Maybe they could delay the shutdown by a couple of decades for me.

Looks like Recluse was right in the end...
Dammit all to hell I got the free Kirby auras yesterday too...made some cool new water toons to lvl up, figured out how to make a toon and it didn't suck, met an avalanche of fun people.
If we go out...we go out how we got awesome...in the jello

Well Triumph, it has been a blast. Started here, played years and years here, only recently moved most of the toons to Freedom and that was just to be where most of the PvP population went. Of course Triumph still had the best TF teams. Salutes, Thank you's and good byes to soooo many that I will not even begin to list everyone because I would hate to forget someone's name. This game was a great escape for me during the last 8 years(of the 20yrs) in the Navy, had so many good times and met so many great people. Again I salute you all and lets hit it with the pants off for the next couple of months before they pull the plug.

Be nice to get a refund for what is prepaid.
And in the end, boys and girls, it turned out Battalion ended up being NCSoft Corporation itself; the one force no Incarnate can possibly hope to challenge. This is my last post probably. Nothing dramatic or emotionally self-serving (which regrettably, has fit me to a T the last 5 years I've known all of you I'm afraid... instead of learning that lesson, I've opted to stay off the forums and just play. It's worked out well until now), my VIP Subscription ends tonight with no way to renew it. But I got to say what I got to say, or I'll never get to. (EDIT: It appears VIP Status is frozen... My last day was August 31st. Luck, pure and simple.)
I've had a lot of disappointments this year. If the country is rebounding, it's because everyone is dropping their stake in people like me to save their own necks. City of Heroes is closing up shop. HP announced that they're not developing webOS on their older devices. And my best friend last month from High School isn't returning my calls after I had some not so kind words about his recent divorce (after getting married three times in four years, someone had to tell him the truth... unfortunately, it was me). In five weeks, I'm going to be laid off. So, I'll make one last appeal to emotion: pardon me if positive thinking isn't doing anything for me right now. Even with polite words and happy thoughts, if someone points a handgun at your temple and pulls the trigger, the bullet still most assuredly works... regardless of what's in your mind at the moment.. (Still with me so far and not rolling your eyes? Good, there's a chance we'll get along fine.)
I've had a love/hate relationship with Triumph. I've made good friends here. I've lost good friends in here, as well as in real life. Some I'll never get back. But in the end I feel like I've been no help at all... to anyone as much as myself. None of it means a gorram thing. (I'd cuss, being that this is zero-sum at it's ultimate outcome, but if I did, I think a moderator would delete my post before anyone on Triumph read it... it appears social contracts do work to stop trolls like myself from saying what they want to on the forums.) I'll miss Triumph... my second dysfunctional family. I've loved you all as much as I've been laughed at by you all (both in jest and derision.) I'd say I'll see you again, but honestly, I can't promise that. I don't know of any MMO I certainly want to partake of... certainly not any of NCSoft's properties. Let alone any game in general.
Obsidius was my first SG Leader, and I owe him a debt of thanks. He taught me that mediation in groups is just as important as being a good player, and that has done me well. I wish him and Rella well, my friend from College who came back in a most unexpected way and kept me smiling while she was around. In association, thanks to Ultrabatz for the camaraderie and the good will all of these years. Snow Globe may have scolded me after failing my first Lambda trial, but eventually, he turned out to be a hell of a leader, and I thank him for his patience in the last few months.
I don't want to get too mushy and drawn out, but I'll give credit where credit's due: I wouldn't be anything without Gavalin Kingsbury, Doc, Genie, Alexandre, VP, Frost-Kid, Pride Warrior, Uesugi Terutora, Shard Warrior (it was brief and I was in a weird place at the time... Thanks for the patience), Seventy-Seven (if you ever come back online, we need to catch up sometime), Camocanine, Sam, Randy (I forgot your global), Shadow and abigwhale.
To Pine, Sayaki, Taryn, Syndralina, Justaris, J. (Burte Force), and Mannillerai, you are all great players and I hardly got to know you at all before this summer.. Looks like this fall is it for us, I'll try my best to be on between schoolwork and job hunting.
Particular thanks goes to Ventus vis Vires, not only for sticking around in a tough time in my life, but for keeping me playing as well as being your co-operator of two Supergroups. I guess we won't see JCAngelo return in time after all to see what became of her creations after leaving Triumph. I've never met JCAngelo, But I think she'd be proud. I'm proud.
Thanks Triumph. Burn the pants, save the world.

This. Turbo emailed me this morning and I didn't believe it. It's really sad to see the game going. I literally got choked up reading the news.

Since there's very little activity on the Triumph boards, I think I'll call this my last post. With today's announcement from NCSoft, (paraphrasing: "About #SaveCOH: the talks failed. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.") I see little point in communicating on these boards since they're going with the game in less than 58 days.
Since I said goodbye already (see above), I'll keep it short.
Well, I'm gonna start locally here on our server, but does anyone know what Zwillinger's announcement is supposed to mean? Haven't seen any replies on it yet.
