Thank You for An Amazing Ride!

It's been a beautiful ride.

From those of us who've left the game as well, Thank you Melissa for making this game as enjoyable as it was.

I hope you are rapidly hired and recognized for your amazing talents.

I have been both numb and tearful for the last 18 hours on and off. I spent the last part of my evening screencapping my primary muse-like characters (the ones that nudge me to create, the most). It was hard, but it was needed. It's because of you guys that I have this much attachment to my creations. You made that possible with this wonderful game!

And for that? I can not even begin to express how grateful I am for the hard work that you and the crew of Paragon Studios have done. My prayers go out to all of you and my wishes of good luck wherever your paths take you from here and my *HUGS* go to each and every one of you for creating a world in which I felt truly heroic each evening!

Thank you, Paragon Studios. Truly.
*HUGS*

I think you are the fairest Dev of them all <3

Thank _you_ for all you've done, for these amazing 8 years.

Wishing you best of luck.

WarWitch,

Because of you, COH wasn't a game, it wasn't a thing; it was a place.

A place where people were encouraged to be their very best -- to be heroes.

A place where I could be awesome and brave and magnanimous and kind to n00bs (because everyone was kind to me when I was a n00b) and silly as hell.

A place where I always felt like it was my duty as a hero and my privilege as a person to exemp down an L50 and kin/tank/whatever for a low-level group.

A place where I could hand a few million influence or a LOTG 7.5% to a complete stranger and never even want anything back because a real hero would do just that.

A place where I could hang out with some of the smartest, sweetest, funniest people I've ever met in my life, night after night for just $15 a month.

A place where I got (get, for 8 more weeks) to be my very best me.

If RL was more like Paragon, it'd be a much, much better place.

I know I'm a better person for having gotten to live in Paragon.

Thank you so much for over 7 years of fun. Thank you devs for, well...everything. But thank you in particular for some of the very best NPC dialogue (and other in-game content) that has ever existed in any game, anywhere. More than once I laughed so loud that I scared my cat...

As much of a gut punch as this was for us players, our livelihoods don't depend on this game. Wishing you as soft a landing as possible.

It was a privilege to play and immerse ourselves in this world. The only minutes of time in Paragon I regret will be the ones I missed.

Great game. Great players. Great devs.

Thanks you.

I have to admit, I read an interview you gave last year, and, hearing about how you started as an office manager and worked your way up to Producer of the Whole Darn Game. I was so jealous. You had the job I've been trying to get for a decade.

It's awesome you got to live the dream with this game for as long as you did, and I hope that you and everyone else from Paragon find another place just as awesome very soon. Hopefully at least some of you will find yourselves working together again. (Heck, who knows? Maybe I'll get really lucky and be working with some of you, too)

I'm going to miss this game and all the people on it a lot. Good luck and farewell for now.

To all the people that have been on this project, Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

To War Witch, is there any way that we could still have some sort of DEV event before it all goes away? Rampant GM's and AV's and just good fun? one last time?

Peace, Love, Best wishes! and many many thanks!
