Yeah...I've mentioned to a few people a good month or two ago that I was thinking about quitting (or at least taking a break for some time) when my 1 yr. sub was up in March of next year.
Surprise! That starts sooner than expected :|

So a few days ago I was walking from home to the train station. The sun had a warm cast, and the air had a slight chill in it. The trees were starting to give off the smell I associate with the start of the school year.
I was thinking about City of Heroes, which I frequently do when I'm trying to pass time, and a though occurred that with the game being eight years old that it might not be around too much longer. "A year from now, " I thought, "it could be gone." It made me sad to think about not playing my favorite characters, or hanging out with my friends, or seeing new content. I put the thought behind me. When I got home that night, I joined just in time to be on the team that earned the Really Hard Way badge for Magey Monday.
Ah.
I joined City of Heroes the weekend Issue 1 launched. I stopped playing around Issue 5 so that I'd be able to concentrate on my studies in college. I rejoined after City of Heroes: Freedom launched, and while I only intended to buy a single 3-month subscription to play through the winter, the camaraderie and excellent new content and powers had me truly hooked.
Now what? I'll miss the game and I'll miss the community. I will miss the escapism. Yeah, there's some grinding in CoH, but I'll miss those moments where I felt heroic.
This is the way City of Heroes ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.
