Tried Will Wheaton and the Big Bang Theory crew?
@FloatingFatMan
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Yep. First person I messaged was Wil.
pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^

What about the author Mercedes Lackey? She is, or was a player and did a guest arc or two(?) for the MA system.

as did Bill Willingham I believe
Thelonious Monk
Jim Butcher (Of the Dresden files and Codex Alera) plays or played. His twitter is @longshotauthor
Has anyone considered approaching Richard Garriott?
Also, the Big Bang Theory cast frequently have City of Heroes stuff in their show. I imagine Jim Parsons would be sympathetic.
If you can get some celebs to tweet about it that might be good. I do wonder what ol' [s]General[/s] Lord British thinks about one of NCSoft's big titles going down, since he's been on that kind of boat ride before.
But I think it'd be more productive to contact media sources, and get the word out about City of Heroes closing down--and that it's closing down abruptly, despite still making a profit, and despite continued development. People need to know that the game was still going strong, even if it wasn't earning big money.
Yeah, having had the same kind of done to him, Richard Garriott would be worth a shot...

Internet celebs may be the way to go as well, People like The Angrey Video game nerd, Felicia day*rumored coh player*
Or confirmed nerds like Kevin Smith! Also Tara Strong is known to take up causes often and is very loyal to her Brony fanbase.
I've been messaging verified celebrities on Twitter all night with the message "Help us save the 1st Superhero MMO #CityOfHeroes. After 8 years, NCsoft has pulled the plug for no reason. Please help us!"
My intent is to get the message out there to at least one celebrity that has been associated with Superhero films/shows, videogamers, comic book artists, etc.
I'm trying to get us national publicity in one form or another in the hopes of making NCsoft officially give us a reason as to why they have closed down CoH over other non-profitable games.
In the end, it may not do much. But even getting one celeb that's interested in championing our cause is better than where we've been left.
I'm not suggesting you spam people on social networks. I'll take the hit and possible twitter ban. But taking our plight viral may be the only chance that we've got for answers on how to save our game.
Thanks for reading.
