Few other QoL things...

I didn't think many of them would even know CoH, they're such different games, but there's a thread in general about CoH closing over there and nobody is happy about it!

it looks like many of those players who posted are also part time coh players, however i do agree that even those that havent played coh are now reconsidering their views on ncsoft

Champions Online Players are also unhappy about it.

Other games you might create only anything between 1-22 characters and get bored. This game is different, you can do over 80 really, level in different ways and it gets good updates.

I'd imagine alot of players were looking at this old game as something they could come back to.

Wow thank you for sharing, perhaps NCsoft will see this as a domino affect and reconsider.

Aion players better be nervous. Aion seems to be in the spotlight as an underperformer. I doubt NC will tolerate too many quarters not meeting expectations.

Now that surprises me.. I guess CoH has a lot of "sleepers" meddling in other games.

from the sound of things, after day 2 of the closure notice ncsoft has already received a LOT of bad publicity

bad publicity + community spirit = one very bad place for ncsoft

I really can't fathom how they could just Nuke such a venerable title as this.

To have the legacy and the fanbase we do, I always expected to be twilighted into maintainance mode and consolidated to a single server, not just vaporized...

I never anticpated this. I always thought it would live on in one form or another.

Some Star Trek Online players as well. I guess alot more people played CoH then I realized.

Well, I still play Aion sometimes on Siel but that game is... was... had... er... had potential, I got frustrated by their *mostly* trollololol community that consists of extreme players playing it 24/7 to achieve something like PvP gear, hackers, gold sellers (they're so abundant in Aion they deserve to be called part of the community) and the COOL and rare minority of players.

There is no way Aion will make profit unless they go pay-to-win model or sell pikachu and jugglypuffs pets through the cash shop.

CoX had VIPs and an interesting cash shop, I can't believe Aion will stay around for long unless they transform it into a money maker.

And in CoX the whole community is awesome, not even comparable to Aion's.

Or there's people like me, who constantly try other games and just keep coming back to CoH because it's that good, even eight years later.

Hell, especially eight years later. Think about it. How much cool stuff have we gotten even since the game went f2p. How much more cool stuff was on the beta server just waiting to be released when it was suitably bug-free. All of it, gone because of some Korean boss more focused on money than on people.

coh has always been my primary mmo, its the only mmo ive ever been willing to spend a significant amount of time/money on

all the other mmos never fit me, they were too grindy, or too focused on having uber gear, this mmo never really felt grindy or gear focused

Yup pretty much sums up my play habits too. I've tried EvE a couple of times, tried Rift, Guild Wars, Dark Age of Camelot, Age of Conan, Champions Online and the same thing always happens; no matter how good those games are and what their individual merits are, I always find something missing, something that's just not right and end up coming back to CoH.

CoH has always tried to be its own game and not ever billed as a "potential WoW killer". That way it has its own personality and its own feel instead of trying desperately to come up with a magic formula for success by copying one that's already in place. Sure it has its little annoying quirks, but there's enough stuff that's done right that means whenever you log in you know you're going to have fun. No other game I've played has managed to capture that.

Aion should be nervious. Not the Entire Aion, but the NA version.

From what I've seen we were a bit over half of what NCsoft pulled out of the NA/EU. For western players of NCsoft games, we gave them the most money. Koreans had us beat 7+:1, but CoH was essentially NCsoft North America/Europe.

Why would they keep pumping money into a community that did less for them than this one that they're shutting down? I would be unsuprised if Aion NA is shut down, and NCsoft decides to focus all resources toward the Eastern/Asian market.

It does not appear a good time to be a Western MMO player.

Give NCSoft hell!

Be honest, exactly how many of us would return should NCSOFT reconsider? I lost a lot of trust and confidence in them after this blunder.
