City of Heroes was my first MMO, and it's been my longest as well. I tried WoW multiple times, TOR and Secret World as well, recently, but I've always come back to CoH.
I just bought and installed Guild Wars 2 about 1 hour ago.
I was looking forward to Wildstar, too. It looked like it had promise.
No more. I cannot help but feel betrayed and used but this company. I will never again spend a single cent on this company's products or services.
EDIT: And really, it's not that it's done. We knew it was going to happen. But it's the manner in which this has been done. It feels very disrespectful. And that's a sentiment I hope reaches the highest levels of NCsoft's hierarchy.

My "other MMO" is Aion...
Honestly, the way things are going over there, I seriously suspect AionNA will be the next thing up on the chopping block.

I'll add my voice in too, not another dime for this company from me.

I agree.
And, since the internet masses love to hear stories of corporations being jerks, I suggest spreading the news of this absolutely atrocious action to as many people as possible. If gamers realize that NCSoft can and will end a thriving game for no given reason, they may be a great deal less willing to do business with NCSoft.
Gotta hit NCSoft where it hurts; their profits.

Not another dime. If I could send back GW2, I would do it in a heart beat now. I know it doesn't change anything, but I'll speak with my wallet.

Agreed. I was interested in some of the upcoming NCSoft work. Not any more.

I'll be going back to console games but will always be on a look out for NCSoft products... so not to buy any of it.

Wow this one was depressing.
I feel similar to you guys. I probably won't pay for another NCSoft game, but that's mainly because I was bored with Guild Wars 1 fast, and COX was the one game they have made that I really enjoyed.
8 years is a good run for an MMO. I will miss COX and miss you players I've teamed with, joked with, and spanked the old Hami with every night until he was given the games first incarnate powers =D
Take care everyone, the devs, and players alike.

I've been playing this game since i0. I can't believe it's going away... that's like finding out the neighborhood mean kid randomly killed your puppy.
However, I will not be boycotting NCSoft.
GW2 is a fantastic game. And ArenaNet no more deserves your scorn and disdain than Paragon does. These studios are owned by NCSoft, but they are NOT NCSoft. Blaming Anet for what NCSoft does is stupid. I'm sure that right now, Anet is banging their heads on the wall at what a stupid, utterly boneheaded move this is, and now it hurts THEM too.
My heart is breaking for CoH. I played over 30 characters, many to 50, in the almost 8 years I was here.
BRB griefing the tits out of GW2.
>:|
But TBH ArenaNet should be quaking in their boots. GW1 is superceeded and doesn't have PayG so it won't make money. Other titles like Aion will go soon enough too...

While I probably won't play another mmo. If the rumors i am hearing are true, it's a licensing thing and I can't really hold ncsoft at fault. It explains why the red names haven't been too angry, just resigned to the inevitability of it all.
NCSoft is dead to me.
I will never allow another penny to EVER see their coffers once COH is shutdown.
They've stolen the shining soul of the hero from all of us. With their decision to shutdown COH, it's only fair their blackened souls go where all despicable souls should go...HELL.
This pretty much is my position now too.
One qualifier though;
If they sell the IP to someone who will do something with it, I'll buy NC stuff.
If they just burn the house down, **** 'em.

I sincerely hope NCSoft goes bankrupt, along with every single person that was in charge of this decision. I hope to see them all living on the streets, begging for money, the ultimate irony. A bit much? Maybe. But they have all my rage and scorn right now. Every last one of their board members can burn in hell.

PINNACLE
Never again will I buy a product of theirs even if this was licensing issues.
But it also got me to cancel Sto, Im not sure if they were involved in this, but Im assuming it was true.
My money will go to wow or steam or gamefly.
Boycott Ncsoft if they close down Coh.
Not that it will do any good:

As others have stated, I won't be playing any of your other games... not because of you shutting down CoH, but because I really have only enjoyed playing CoH because it is (soon to be was) the best Super Hero MMO going.
That also does not mean I will go and run off and sign up on one of the other Super Hero MMOs that are out there, as I have already given them a try and found them lacking.
Now, should ANYONE develop a new Super MMO, I will give them a shot...
NCSoft? Do YOU have such a game in the works, and is that why CoH is being given a slow death?
This was the only game I played . I will never give money to anotherof NC Softs products,
