Any Celebrities play CoX

writer Mercedes Lackey has mentioned the closing of CoH on her facebook.

I know that producter Robert Hewitt Wolfe (wrote for Star Trek franchise, and was showrunner for Andromeda, syfy's Dresden Files adaptation, and others) was a CoH player.

Jennette McCurdy from iCarly use to play on Infinity! But she has not played it in a while!

I reached out over the last few days through twitters and e-mails contacting any celebrites I was aware of playing City of heroes, had spoken about it, or were known MMO fans. I haven't heard anything back of course but hopefully if we all pitch in they may at least mention us.

So far I have contacted
Felicia Day
Kevin Smith
James Rofle/AVGN creator and Star
joaquin phoenix *seen playing in a studio*
Rick Astley .. :3
I heard natalie Portman played as well but I couldn't find any real "direct" way for fans to interact with her.

if anyone else knows of some MMO'ing celebs tweet them, contact their offical fansites or facebook.

Hell use YOUR facebook and Twitter to get the word out.

We need Leroy Jenkins...


Seriously though, this is not a bad idea. People actually listen to celebs. Troy, Mercedes and Butcher have the book crowd. Kevin has the comic/movie crowd. Sheldon would be over the top.

I've posted on PVP (Scott Kurtz) facebook page. He did the original release's little mini-comic book (which I still have) and had played the game for a time. I doubt that he's been there for a while, but I know him and a couple other Webcomic authors had been fans.

I'd just be happy if Jay (of Jay and Silent Bob fame) went on a NC Soft tirade.

Two things:

1) We sent a heartfelt letter to a company no one thought to approach and if they bite, especialy since I have connections there, it will be a moment unlike any you have ever seen.

2) Thank you for the "So Long and Thanks for the Ponies" thread in the Hero Culture forums. It is priceless and one is now part of my desktop backdrop. (No, I'm not Tara *smirk*)

I know it's a 'bad game', but if you're looking for Celebs, quite a few of them play WoW. Mila Kunis, for one, plays an Alliance character. I know it's not CoH, but if you want to get the media in on this, crossing 'territory lines' may not be a bad idea.

After all, CoH is to us, what WoW is to their loyal fanbase.

Imagine the nerdrage if WoW was suddenly shut down, LOL. I'm pretty sure I'd be consoling my best friend for weeks over him losing his top level, pimped out in the best gear mage.

Why is it I always post after you,

I have contacted the ones I know how to contact...

Jim Butcher plays, anyone know where he got off too?

I've sent a Twitter message to him, but still... the MOST IMPORTANT person that needs to hear our plea is Stan Lee. I'm serious. He's got his own production studios and mentioned in an interview that online superheroes was something that would become the new standard.

We need Stan Lee to back us!

I considered contacting Stan Lee about this. he's the AllFather of the Comic Book Industry. While he may be to old to truley grasp what our little part of the world is if we can get HIm to help us I can think of no man better.

We should also start contacting our local Comic Book Shops, seeing what they can do to help get the word out for us.
