To all of you...

I will miss all of you sooo much...

I can't stop crying.

Not going to repeat what I already said in the Discussion thread. So I'll make it short.

Thanks Z and everybody else for everything CoX has been, and best wishes to you all.

I feel like a family member has died and to be fair a something has died today, maybe not a family member but an entire family has just died.

This has been and probably will be my only experience with an MMO and to be fair i cant see anything ever replacing it and don't think i will go looking for one.

A part of me died with this news, I really hope it wasn't that out of the blue for you and it was your job as well as probably a hobby.

Thanks for everything you have done Zwill and i will be all of you.

I was planning on starting regularly watching your Coffee Talks with this next one (having watched this last one a bit after it was done). I enjoyed it quite a bit, and was greatly amused when someone started raining down the meteors Plus, the bacon.


You guys will definitely be missed. Plus, your hat. Your hat will be missed as well, quite possibly the most of all. Keep it safe, and cherish it, as if it was your own hat.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Andy, I'm so sorry. For everything. You guys definitely did not deserve this.

You're 110% pure awesome. Hang in there.

No words.

I accept and proclaim complete responsibility for the "shuttering" City of Heroes francise.

I did not collapse an empire of super-heroes and/or super-villains out of spite or malice.

I did not think my actions of May 2012 would have any repercussions into this world that has provided me with the respite from my daily life.

It is something that happened due to a failure of an adjunct tertiary symbiosis of a non-connected organism.

The cascade failure was not anticipated or projected, as the parts were connected only in the vaguest sense.

If I had done the documentation better and more thorough, I might have anticipated this accordion collapse.

I did not.

And for that; I am sorry that these worlds must come to an end. The failures are systemic, systematic, and cascading. It can not be stopped without some "divine intervention".

I would like to believe in miracles, and hope one happens, but we must be realistic about this situation.

To the friends, family, lovers and n00Bs... I am sorry.



I will see you on the other side.

Zwill, you have another thread to post in. We are a huge sad group of pandas right now and we all want e-hugs.

...I can't trust myself to say anything.

*leaves behind hugs for everyone, especially Zwill and Co.*

Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work, Zwill.

I didn't know you well, Zwill, as I had stopped using the forums a while before you came along, but I will never forget what you did for Lucas and the rest of the Justice server. Thank you, and safe travels.

Thank you Zwil. Thanks for hosting in game events. Thanks for all the posts and jokes and the cool avatar. Thanks for trying out facebook and twitter even though they didn't work out so well, you tried to do the best and find work arounds.

Bless you and thank you.

I'm still stunned from just finding out about this like 30 minutes ago. Not one much for final words myself, so I'll get the important part out.

Thank you for everything. I had a great time.

good luck D.B.B.

Zwillinger,

I am out of things to say - but thanks for being community manager. I hope you land on your feet.

Thanks so much for all your hard work and devotion, Z, and everyone else at Paragon!

This feels like the day my beloved dog died. Seriously. And that was 13 years ago and I never have been able to get another one.

CoH was the first MMORPG my family and I played together; we started the day after launch. There were six of us; my (now 74-year-old) parents, my (then 9-year-old) daughter, myself, and my sister and her husband. We have since been joined by two other of my cousins, and two more children (my 8-year-old son and my 10-year-old niece).

Relative Danger (always relatives, usually in danger) has lived for 8 1/2 years on Virtue server, going through all the highs and lows together.

You will sorely be missed.

Thank you for being the best Community Manager I have ever seen or spoken with in my fifteen years of playing MMORPGs. I wish you all the best, Zwil.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Thanks sir!

There will never be another game like City of Heroes.

period.

Z-
Dude, I am going to miss your posts and the coffee talks that I was able to attend. I know that if you get a job offer before the game shuts down that you should take it but I hope to see you still posted on the last day. It would be nice to do a grand event for the last day will the devs drunk and just having fun with dev controls. I am going to miss this game so much.

Dammit I am crying again.

I'm gonna miss you guys. The ustream meets, the in-game events, everything. You guys were some of the best devs out there. It was amazing how you interacted with the playerbase to make CoH more than just a game, but a way of life. I keep reading about how CoH has made some big difference in people's lives, and you guys definitely had a part in that. You deserve to give yourselves a pat on the back.

I'm not really well-known here, not by a long shot, but I still wanted to show my gratitude to you guys for giving me one of the best experiences I could have. In CoH, I actually felt like I was a part of the community instead of some random loner killing 20 rats by himself.

Kudos to you guys, and good luck with everything.

Thank you!

Sorry to see it end like this. With any hope and luck it's not over yet.

My VIP account actually went off yesterday, for completely unrelated (budget related) reasons. I was always planning to come back again, though. I could never seem to break away completely. Suffice to say, I did not actually expect anything like this, for obvious reasons. Since I can't post in the news discussion thread, I just want to say thanks, to everyone I've been able to know in game and out, and to everyone who's made it happen.

I'm not going to pretend I've always agreed with every turn this game has taken, heck, certain things have been deeply disappointing. But nothing so disappointing as today's news.

I wish the absolute best to everyone at Paragon.

Thank you, Zwillinger. For being good at what you did, and making us feel like what we had to say mattered. For being one of us, and for not making us feel like we were just a cow to be milked. Thank you for listening, thank you for your patience, thank you for your time. And above all, thank you for the memories.
