Rock, rock on Hamster.
Glad you're still around. There must be a lot of people asking questions. Like "FFFFFFFFFFWHY??" and such. It's good to know you guys are still listening, and we don't even have to send cupcakes!
...We will send cupcakes if neccesary, however.

All your gonna do is just farm behemoths anyways.

I wish you all the best in whatever the future has in store for you.

Mad had to look up My Accoutn info & I realized just how long hubby & then myself have been playing this:
Created On:Jan 10, 2005
Account Type:VIP
Account Status:Playable
Total Paid Time:6 Years, 7 Months
Due to finances early on we ended up letting the account lapse several times for a total of one year in the 1st 4 years. But every time we we were able to renew a sub (find somewhere up here with the times cards, then got a pre-paid CC to by time with) we were both eager to get back into it. This time I had made sure to scrimp & save so my 6m sub would renew w/o a hitch on June 28. Then when I had an unexpected bonus @ the end of July & Splurged over $65 in Paragon Points in anticipation of the new content you folks were working on for i24.
Then Aug.31 hit and everyone was left reeling in shock, not just us players but you the Wonderful People @ Paragon Studios. There's no pretty way to word it, cause there was nothing pretty about it. It's like tossing you out in the cold Christmas Eve and was done brutally like an unnesessary Amputation to a very functional Limb. We the players at least have the next 2 months to make sure to connect with those wonderful people we've game with though other means b4 the lights go out. *zen hugz you all from PS tight* You didn't even get that, and That even more then anything else leaves me Raging inside.
You all have pour yourselves into CoX & all that entailed, despite all the Rage/Quits & Vitriol spouted when something was done the people didn't like or thought was utterly stupid (Remember Diminished returns?!?). You took the feedback & suggestions we made & sometimes even used them yourselves to make the game better. You hung out with us, arranged special events on certain occations to happen for us to enjoy, & many of you even played with us ingocnito just cause. You've gone through testing & Bug hunting For AND With us, along with shaken you head @ us more then a few times I'm sure (nvm the "OMG are they on Crack?!?!?!?" thoughts you prolly had about some of us & visa versa).
But this has been an adventure together, & together each in our own way Mourn what has been done, occationally (more like often) fight tears, swear & in rage & hurt, and wonder how everyone will be and where will we go now?!? For unlike ANY other GAME (for me & many others) this one has become one very Big, often times increadably disfunctional (often In a Fun way) Family, complete with quarels, fall outs, long absences, Happy Returns & Losses. Couples have met, friends & family Stayed Connected and relationships grown and ended.
And, no matter what, You the Staff from Paragon Studios are a Key part of that family that most if not all of us do NOT want to Lose. So please if you can join up with a couple of the FB groups recently made to try & help keep this wonderful Family connected even as NCSoft tries to toss ot out to the curb. I know Many of us are in CoH Alumni, Friends of City of Heroes and Save City of Heroes and don't want to loose contect with you!
*Great BIG Zen Hugz*

Also having been in similar shoes, I think he still feels a sense of obligation to US, the community if not to NCSoft
And Zwill, Tip of the hat to you chum, Here's to you and the others who helped manage this place. Hearding cats would be far easier I'm sure. Well Played Sir.
I know how thankless it is. I've run a personal BBS in the days before the internet, I've run BBS and support forums for my employer on places like GEnie, BIX, and Compuserve. I'm currently a moderator or manager in many LinkedIn groups. It's a tough job at times, especially playing spammer/jerkwad whackamole. But when you manage to build strong vibrant communities like this one, then the job becomes mostly a joy and it's very hard to leave your baby behind when the time comes to go.

Either Taser will be living after midnight or it will come in a lonely hotel room when Taser starts to realize that eternal fate has turned it's back on him; at two am. When the hit man comes, he'll know damn well he's been cheated.

I just realized something, why the three of you exist in this thread and it's still here. You guys need UncleBob. It's the only way to get a mod thread locked. Someone release the warthogs!

You're probably right. For the most part, this community is fairly well self-regulated. But at the same time, other posters are correct. The game is still running, and there is a certain responsibility, at least on some of our parts, to maintain the forum rules.|

That being said, quite aside from any technical or moral responsibility, I think we feel an ethical responsibility to keep things relatively sane. We care about you guys, and stuff like the kinds of things that have been posted recently just aren't acceptable. You guys deserve a better environment, and if we can do something, albeit in a limited (due to time) fashion, then we will.

Freitag you should go work for Cryptic, and bring all of Paragon with you.. Or as much of them as you can. Go. Hunt. Give Champions Online an Incarnate system.

Even if the entire CoH dev team went to Cryptic and replaced the Champs dev team, it's unlikely I'd ever play it. There were too many things about it that I didn't like - first and foremost the art style. If I don't like the way a game looks, then I can't play it, no matter how awesome the gameplay is.

I suspect that Zwillinger might be the community team's basis for sanity, in these respects.
A LOT of leeway...
