I'm Heartbroken

It's been some time since I've hit the boards but I still remember many of your names. When I read the news about the shutdown, I was pretty torn up. It's difficult to type this even though I haven't played in over a year.

CoH was my first MMO, and Liberty server will always be in my heart. I started playing in Sept 2007. I made friends, formed a guild, formed coalitions. I've been on PVP Committees and Base Builder committees. I've modded channels, leads MSRs, hosted Shadow Shard Shaturdays and Master of Mondays. I've probably teamed with all of you at some point or another. Every single minute of it was a blast and I consider my time here to have been some of the best times in my life.

I made a very special friend in October 2007. She and I teamed up at every chance and became best friends even though we were on opposite sides of the country. She moved to be with me in September 2010. We got married in June 2012. We met in Croatoa right next to Skipper LeGrange. We'd have talks that lasted until 4 AM on the remote islands in Ouroboros.

It breaks my heart to know those places will never exist again. She and I will always have those memories of our heroic adventures and budding romance. And I'm sure many of you probably have similar stories. My eyes are watery and my throat has a lump in it, so I'll wrap this up now. Thank you. Thank you all. It truly has been a pleasure fighting villains and saving the world by your sides.

TL;DR Fell in love with the game, fell in love with a woman. Now it feels like a part of me has died.

Sincerely,
Infernal Marquis


P.S. If any of you want to team up again, I'm playing Star Wars The Old Republic on the Canderous Ordo server as a trooper named Infern'al, leading the guild Crimson Order.

well said my friend. Many of us will truely miss this adventure. Its sad that some people who have never had anything to do with this MMO can just step in and decide to end the experience for every one else. but such is life. Out of all the posts saying good bye id have to borrow a saying by Sarah..
