Save our City: Ways to Help

If there's one thing that City of Heroes has taught us, it's that you don't need to be wearing a mask and cape to save the day; heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

Sometimes saving the day isn't about beating up the bad guys; sometimes it's about trying to go back in time, about putting out fires, about all banding together to finish a common mission. Sometimes it's about adding your voice to the rising protest in order to make a difference.

I have yet to see a complete compilation of all of the petitions and efforts to save City of Heroes, so I've made one here. Know about one you don't see here? Post a link! I'll add it to the list.

The Official Petition for NCsoft to Keep City of Heroes Up and Running

The Petition for NCsoft to Open the Game's Source Code
If NCsoft is abandoning City of Heroes entirely, what's it matter to them if we keep the game running after they're done with it? If they open the source code, then the community can keep the game running on its own servers!

The Petition for NCsoft to Compromise With Us
This petition isn't as well-known as the first two, but I think it's more than reasonable to ask that they help us keep the game alive (most likely by opening the source code), so I'm going to try and get it a bit of exposure here.

An Organized Effort to Keep the Game Alive After Shutdown
Over on CoHTitan, they're already working on making plans to keep the game alive even after NCsoft shuts it down.

Sign all of the petitions you can; lend your support to the rising tide of people working to make a difference. I promise you, no matter what happens, we are not going to just let this game die.

It will be much easier for us if we get NCsoft reconsider, or at least give us the code that we'll need to run it ourselves. But no matter what, we can do this. We're the strongest community throughout the entire genre of MMORPGs. No matter what, we're not going to let our City fall without a fight.
