I used to go by the forum name Gilgamesh. I was one of the original CoH devs at NCsoft (2004 - 2006). I'm the guy that wrote most of the old Paragon Times articles (as Jackson Turner). It's a sad day but I wanted to thank all the fans from the early beta days to now for loving this game. All the CoH teams, past and present, worked very hard to bring you the best MMO possible. We loved working on CoH as much as you loved playing it. Personally, I wanted to thank all of you for being true superheroes! I was honored to be among all of you. Take care. Be well. --Will Hiles

The Paragon Times articles were some of my very favorite things about the early game. Thanks for working on those and making them so awesome.

You worked hard to bring the Best MMO, and succeeded. Thank you for making these experiences possible. City of Heroes was the proper foundation for the best community and development team, and the hard work to make it so is visible.

Thank you for investing so many years into the game. Farewell and take care.

Thank you. And to all the developers: designers, programmers, artists, writers past and present - thank you. 'Eight years' in means this wasn't just a hobby for me. It was a love affair wrapped in an adventure wrapped in some really hot spandex.

I hope to find another game one day made by some of you. We'll start this dance all over again.

You know it's been some years since I visited the forums. I got nostalgic and did some searches regarding all my old posts--mostly about the Paragon Times articles. Man, were you guys brutal with the criticisms! Still, I loved writing them and hearing from you guys. Good times! Fond memories. My son was 4 years old when CoH launched. He's now 11 and a big fan of the game. Where does the time go? Even though I've moved on from NCsoft and CoH, it always felt good knowing the game was still going strong and superheroes were still protecting Paragon City. The world is going to be a wee bit dimmer when the the last lights are turned off in Paragon City.....

Gilgamesh and Jackson Turner signing off!

They where still good stuff even if everyone didn't love them. Glad you dropped by.
