Thank you so much City of Heroes Players!
Hey, hast Deinen Job echt klasse gemacht. Danke!!! Beste Wünsche für Deine Zukunft und viel Glück!!!
Also big thanks to all other members of the Paragon Studios team old and new, u gave us some awesome years.
We might can hope that some other company sees the reaction of this community, the potential of the game and the fact that CoX only has its unique awesomeness because of this great team behind the scenes and this great community who worked together and grown over the years to something more than u can find at any other game. They somehow manage to get the rights for the game and Paragon Studios running to go on working at it.
Rock on Freitag. Best of luck finding another job in games. If you need 10,000 references as to how good a job you can do as a community specialist I'm sure that we'd all be glad to be those voices. =)
Thanks for everthing.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
Good luck in the next thing you move on to, 'Tag.
Stay safe out there, hero!
Thanks for being awesome, Freitag.

Think theres any chance we could request our database info for our accounts that would allow us to play a client side only version of the game ? Or if not the full game some kind of mini client ? I'd love to be able to revisit my account and look the characters over at later dates just to reminisce. I've been a part of the game since day 1 - and I've loved it all this time.
Its heart breaking to think that I wouldnt even be able to look at my characters ever again.
Any chance something like that could be done ? Even just being able to fire up atlas park alone, so I could walk through my painstakingly crafted bases. Look at my heroes again, play with the costume creator, and just see it all in the future would be something fantastic to me, and im sure many many others.
TY for the game for all these years !!!

Thank you, Freitag! I only recently met you during Captain Mako's Shark Week event - that was a blast! You and the Paragon Studios development team and related staff did an outstanding job!! I'm glad we've "raised the bar" as players. You all certainly raised the bar on what so many of us want in an MMORPG. I'm so sorry the game is ending and especially this way. If I and my friends (virtual and RL) feel this way about City of Heroes/Villains and our dashed dreams and plans, I can only imagine what you all are going thru. Man, I was so looking forward to Issue 24, Nature Affinity (yes you released it but i bought a team transporter instead, until I had a chance to play with NA some on the Beta test server), and had no reason to go looking for another MMORPG.
Best Regards, Hopes and Wishes to all the fine, excellent developers, designers, and game staff. City of Heroes was a joy!! I will cherish my memories of this experience as I do other "peak" gaming experiences. I never thought I would like an MMO this much, nor care about one to this extent. Let's hope the specialness rolls forward for each of us. Remember: Stay SUPER!!!!

Kevin,
Thanks for being the all-purpose, can do everything guy. Most of you may not know this, but Kevin/Freitag did things far beyond community management, including hands on marketing support. He was also a guy who was never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna run around and desert you.
In fact, one of my best memories was an awesome Hamidon raid we participated in together, which I'm fortunate enough to have some footage of still. (http://youtu.be/js59jVIcqqg)
But most of all, thanks for showing me that chinese restaurant that serves the soup dumplings. I love those, and I was so happy to find one near the office.

Predictable, but i followed it anyways, because I expected some twist to it.
Good for a smile anyways, so it's worth it.
Also, never been on a Hamidon raid before, but I'm 99% certain that's not how it goes. If it is, why did I never join?

Kevin,
As I said to Dr. McSean: if you hadn't said that this was your first job in the gaming industry, I never would have thought it. You're a terrific community rep (and a lot more, according to BP), and you absolutely belong somewhere in this industry, continuing to be awesome.

Thanks for all the fun. You made my Macro bar (even though I spelled it wrong).

Thanks for all the pictures of adorable baby animals. I could always count on you for my daily doses of silliness.
Kevin, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you and the entire team at Paragon Studios did on behalf of the players and the game we love so much.
Best of luck in your future travels!

Thank you, Frie, and best of luck to you and yours. Hope to see you in game before it ....aww man....
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 |
Thank you for what you and the rest of the community team have done for City of Heroes, Freitag.
@Nanas (on Defiant)
Thanks for your work with the community, Freitag. Without people like you, I don't think our feelings about Paragon and City of Heroes would be the same.
Good luck,
