Plaudits.

Yep, but I feel like they are completely indifferent to whether we adopt one of their other games or not. I don't think they really care what happens to our dollars.

I know what you mean. It was difficult to draw the kid and the dog... I thought the dog approximated the game fairly well. It can't talk, but... it does communicate to us in ways... and we do love it.

It shows how art and ownership really shift. We paid for the game. We owned it. We enjoyed and loved it. That someone can take it away from us, after all we've invested in it, is heartbreaking.

I didn't want to rant... damn... got me going again.

Thanks for the replies. This is... was... the best game ever.

Having had to give up a dog to be put down, this is the reaction that finally made me cry. It's exactly how I feel. NCSoft's "restructuring" to be all these Korean friendly, ultra-"pretty" fantasy MMOs while the older, scruffy, but loving City of Heroes gets taken to the vet for the last time....

I shouldn't feel this way over a game, but... guys like you hazard, guys and gals like you make this so much more than just a game.

Thanks. For both the tears, and for making City of Heroes better than just a game.

This is pretty much how I feel, but maybe a bit further..

Like NCSoft randomly ran over my lovable old dog in the street and didn't even have the courtesy to stop and apologize. Laughing as they drive off at top speed to the bank.

Should have made the GW2 one look like a Charr.

Thanks for all the replies.

I never expected a game to effect me as much as this. But I'm glad this is the kind of game that can get people out of their shells like that.

I don't think I'll find a game or community that invites and rewards RP as much as City of Heroes... and I'm absolutely dreading going back to the other titles to even /attempt/ to do so.

I just want my City of Heroes back... crap, got me going again.

Thanks for the replies, and for being the best community there is.

A lot of us do - and we're fighting to make it happen in some way.

I am bawling my eyes out right now, having two old dogs myself isn't helping, and I know cats and dogs are different but I have had to put a couple cats down and that is not a good feeling.

My glasses are getting tear drops on them making it hard for me to see.

Aww hell...
I'm crying again...

I'm crying too. I recently had to have my 17 year old cat euthanized. The art is true to life.

Blizzard buy it, i don't care, i want my city of heroes back...if NCsoft can't make it happen so be it sell it to someone so they can make it better if they're not willing....that way Melissa *war witch*, Matt *positron*, Tim *black scorpian*, and all the others could get a call saying...guess who bought CoH...the lights are back on....lets get to work....and i don't lose my beloved CoH, toons, or anything...

Waaaaaaaaaah!



I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.

Yeah, that expresses it pretty darn well.

Kudos, sir. That's the way art should communicate.

And dang you for making me cry a bit at work.
