I am unable to put into words how grateful I am to the Devs and the CoH community. This is a small token of the love I have for this game and the many friends I have made because of it. Please excuse any inadequacy in the video as it is my first attempt at making one.

Much love and respect.

That was really good, I hope we can save the game.

Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!

Good video..

I'm also working on one. Took the footage this morning, but will have to wait until tomorrow to piece it together in premier. It's funny, I'm actually going to be using much the same camera work (lots of slow movement forward, it's a theme I felt I wanted to set), but the subject matter in front of the camera differs greatly.

I wrote the script for it a few hours ago, but don't want to release it quite yet.


I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.

Thanks for the replies! It was a lot of fun to make. I wish I had done videos, art, and explored the forums before now.

Please edit your OP at the top with the new link. I don't want anyone to miss this. Every player should be required to watch this before logging in again. If you do and you are still ready to give up on saving Paragon City, then I just don't know what to say.

Edit: Shared on my Facebook page. I hope others share it as well.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

I'm sorry, I understood, I think I misconveyed what I was saying. By "you", I didn't mean you you, Angelus Animi, I meant whoever else might be reading my post.

Your video is perfect in every way, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Ah, sorry. "Original post," OP refers to the top post in any given thread. It can also stand for "original poster," as in, "I think the OP's video was awesome."

This is actually part of the strong appeal of the video to. Is it perfect? Not by Steven Spielberg standards, no. But the fact that you were inspired to do something creative that you've never done before and pour your emotion into it like that makes the rough edges not just forgivable, but part of what makes it so moving.

This is how I signed the petition at http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...city-of-heroes

"Many out there may say that this was just a game. For us it was so much more. A world was created where we could reach beyond the miles that separate us and make friends. Many of those friends became family. We leaned on each other in times of tragedy and need, we laughed and loved, we shared loss. It wasn’t just a game, it was the table we gathered around. Through a screen and a headset we were invited into the homes and lives of others. I will miss that more than I can ever say. To the Devs and staff at Paragon Studios thank you so much, my heart goes out to you. To my friends and family I love you all and already miss you terribly. Please save our home."

Truly awesome. Thank you.

Aw, crap. Now I'm crying. I've managed not to all this time.





Technical question - how did you get your UI to go away like that? I wasn't aware we could hide so much!
