as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.
First off, thanks to Alisha Shatogi for posting this for me.
For those who don't know me in-game, I used the global @Teege Feel free to keep in touch with me on AIM: teh teejay (yes that's spelled correctly), MSN (though I don't wish to post my e-mail out in public), or Steam: teege00
In the summer of 2004 I first started playing City of Heroes, with the character name "T J" (yes with a space... hey I wasn't even planning on keeping him!) and role played in Galaxy City (Gemini Park to be more specific) far before the Paragon Dance Club or Pocket D was introduced. My first SG with "T J" was The Defenders of Paragon, which is funny because just last night I ran into one of the members (after being out of touch with them for over 4 years or so) and plan to reunite with the others, making sure to stay in touch this time. To spend the end of the game with the fine folks that I started the game with seems like some sort of ironic fate. Even after those substantial breaks here and there, I would always come back to this game because of the community. I've met numerous friends and other great people while on the streets of Paragon City and it's something I'll never forget, as the game was a great way to relax and unwind, or even to get my mind off things when events in real life became very challenging. The game offered us a chance to express, grow, learn, laugh, cry and brought us together in times of need. Heck, some people even got hitched!
To the dedicated folks who worked for Paragon Studios (and not just Miller or Zwill or even Jack, I'm talking everybody from the bottom to the top, old and new), thank you for pouring your time, energy and creativity into a wonderful game. I can only hope you'll quickly find new and rewarding positions, and that your families do not suffer too much due to the situation at hand. To the players I've met during random teams, thanks for the good times and for putting up with myself and some of my silly characters. To the friends I've met, we will keep in touch and continue sharing our common interest in role playing and otherwise, perhaps in the future we'll find another great game that we can once again call home. There are times I didn't get along with everybody, but that's human nature and in the end, Paragon City was OUR home and that's what makes a world of difference.
So I suppose as I come closer to wrapping this up I'll mention a few names (and I typically dislike this because of my memory, so I apologize if I forget anybody) that I've had the honor of playing with and whom made my gaming experience great. Some names from the beginning that ring a bell: Midnight Dream, Ying Ren, Officer Celera, Maggie, Ms. Independence, Xanatos, Korp, Kozzma, Red Switchblade and more. More recently: Gelle, Wolfkin, Tathya, Rose Noel, Lone Philologer, Psi, Merg, Runo, Alisha, and more. CoH was like a second family and I could not be more proud of these people. Thank you for all the good times. I like to think even after the servers are shut down and I no longer control the lives of my characters, they will continue to live on. Here's what some of my more main characters will continue doing:
Luke Hutchinson (aka "Popular" in-game and younger brother to my character below, Commander TJ) continues to take classes at Paragon University where he struggles to stay awake and not flirt with anybody that walks by. Yeah, good luck with that right?
Tobias James Matthews (aka "T J" in-game) continues to run his father's medical company and is often spotted spending his free time in Gemini Park, Galaxy City (where he'll be parked as it all goes dark, since that's where he started).
PCPD Commander Theron Jordan Hutchinson (aka "Commander TJ" in-game) continues his secretive and sometimes distructive lifestyle as a vigilante. Dispite his agenda, corruptive behavior and believing to be above the law, he still vows to watch over the innocent citizens and police officers in Paragon City.
Also I played: Passive, Popular, Athletic, Skater Boy, One Night Stand, Emancipation and far too many others to list I suppose.
Without a doubt it's the end of an era, but not our memories and even as the sun sets over Paragon City rest assured, the skies are filled with heroes ready to fight the good fight and no corporate decision will ever change that.
