Hi everyone. I don't post, well, ever, but it's hard not to make an exception in this case.
I first started playing this game right before I4. I was 12 (19 now). I remember trying it at a cousin's house and all I could think about for months after that was getting a computer so I could play this game. Somehow it just hit all the right chords for me. Believe me, I'll miss this game as much as anyone.
But wasn't it great?
I hate it that it's coming to an end right in the middle of what someone aptly described as a renaissance. I hate it that it's so sudden. I hate it that COH might be getting the ax not for its own failings but because of corporate maneuvering.
But wasn't it great?
You guys remember getting hover? And joining up with your first SG? And the Hollows? And knowing you didn't have to go the the Hollows ever, ever again? And taking jump kick and flurry? Your first 50? Getting a cape? All those hours in the costume creator for a character you never played past level 5?
Yeah, this was a great game.
My heart especially goes out to Paragon Studios and to a lesser extent to the CoH alumni over at Cryptic. For what it's worth, as someone who still holds foolishly and fervently to the dream of working in the game industry one day, I'll always look at City of Heroes as a brilliant example of what a game should be. It was truly unique and innovative from day 1 and stayed that way for 8 YEARS. That is incredible.
I know everyone is in mourning right now, but just because the ride's ending suddenly let's not forget what a great ride it was. We had 8 years. That's longer than most MMOs. I wish this game could have continued for 8 more years, but all good things right? So here's a great development team, a one of a kind community, and the world's first and best superhero MMO. I'll miss you, but thanks for all the memories and fun I had!
