I was trying to keep up with all the posts since last night, experiencing the full spectrum of emotions...
Now, I must explain, I'm not much of a gamer (until I gave this game to my sons for Christmas in '05) and I haven't read comics since I was a kid
I am 46 and I build skyscrapers
I ski
I play hockey
I shoot, drink, spit, and curse
None of my RL friends know I play (love/ am obsessed with) this game
Well, I clicked a link at one point and it was Mad World on youtube and I had to just stop right there and log on
I dust off my fantastic fire/fire/fire blaster and when I log in he's in Atlas
I start going through his inventory and taking stock in general and I see I've got a holiday cheer, so I click it... and get a jingle jet
I start that baby up and as that music begins to play a lvl 2 comes up to me with some questions and we start talking all things CoX
He just started playing and this is his first toon
And I think to myself that he's only going to experience 'all of this' in the time it took me to get my first vet reward
All of this
The costume creator, always being added to
The wonder and awe of discovering all the new content and zones
The ingame community, the forums, the devs, the comedy, the drama, countless hours on Mid's
The TF's, special events, dbl xp, the incredibly difficult reactor, the incredibly boring reactor, Hamis, purples, getting branded with a title from a dev
New friends from all four corners
For six years this game has kept me entertained, out of trouble, saved me money I would've spent on who knows what, angered and pacified
I want to thank you all - all the players, devs, sg mates, those I met here and will still keep in touch with
I want to wish you all the best
It's been a class act all the way and it will stay with me until the day I die
Now, I need to get this out of my eye because it looks like I've been crying
I am just floored by all this
