Thank you so much City of Heroes Players!
Hi everyone,
It breaks my heart to have to say this, but I want you all to know that it has been my honor to be a part of this community, even in a little way, and for a short time. The passion of you, the players, as well as your fervent support of this game has been nothing short of amazing, and humbling. This was my first (and hopefully not my last!) job in the gaming industry, and you all have set the bar so high. I can only hope that I'll be seeing you all again in the near future. You guys showed me how amazing a community can be when it puts its mind to it, and I will forever be grateful to all of you. Thank you SO MUCH. All my love and thanks, Kevin "Freitag" Callanan |
And best wishes in whatever you do next.
It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba
*Hugs* Thank you Freitag, it was an honour and an amusement on the rare occasion I got to RP with you in the Union Pocket D.

Freitag, just keep up the good work wherever you land following this. And thank you for your selfless work for the game and the community!

So you're telling us you'll never get the forums fixed to let us stay logged in?
That's my best attempt at humor, because I'm too sad to do any better.
Thank you Paragon Studios. You folks are great.

Thank YOU so very much for giving me my first, and best, MMO experience. You and the rest of the team gave me and my husband and our friends many, many hours of fun and connected us over long distances. I met more cool people than I can list and, even though I don't know any of them in RL, I will miss them greatly.
Your hard work and dedication (all of you at Paragon Studios) made the best Superhero MMO...no the best anything! MMO we could play.
So, through tears and muttered curses, please understand how very much you guys have rocked!
May you all land on your feet and impress the heck out your next employers!
Thank you for all you have done.
Take care and good luck in the future.
Thank you and all the Devs for being the best Development Team ever.
I've never played a game where the relationship between players and developers has been so strong.
I doubt i'll ever play a game with the same relationship again.
Good luck in your travels!
I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...
Thanks for all of your work!
God that sounds so workman like but seriously, thanks!
Danke auch, Freitag. Wünsche viel Erfolg und Glück auf deinem weiteren Weg.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

You guys really do deserve more than the slap in the face that was the closing.
But know that we really, REALLY appreciate the work you've done, and it will be SORELY missed on the MMO market.

edit: Not to derail but just now catching up on what has transpired today. Trying to make sense of it. Was responding to the OP as if it were a single staff member moving on, as we've had these types of graduations throughout the history of CoX.
Will write more elsewhere later.
Thank you for being a part of our community and not just the policeman at the gate. Good luck, Freitag. I hope your future travels are amazing.

Thank you for all the kind words everyone. This makes me feel even more sad to leave you all. I don't think it's really sunk in yet, but I want to say again:
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!!!
If I could have made that bigger, I would have
We couldn't have asked for a better community. You guys made it all worth it. Your creativity, ingenuity with costumes, your passion about the game that kept us striving for more, and your desire to participate in making the game even better. Thank you so much.

Thank you, Freitag. The community team here has been pretty great for a long time. I mean, there were rough spots here and there (and one big disagreement I had with Lighthouse) but I think I may miss the forum more than the game.
I hope y'all land on your feet.

Darn you, Freitag... for always devoting so much time and effort and your "it's done when it's done" positive attitude and not giving up when it gets rough. You made this journey an amazing one and it's because of people like you.
