So I thought it'd be fitting to end it on the same note, eh?

I won't start an origin story about how I started the game, or my journeys through it. Those stories have already been told. No, this thread's only purpose is to say how much of an honor it was to serve alongside you all.

Like others, there is a LOT about this game I will miss; the character creator for one. The unique powers, and the fact that somethings we will now never get or never see. (The remaining incarnate powers, the Batallion, the new pool powers, et al)

I won't miss my characters; they will live on. One of them is going back to Dungeons and Dragons (3.5 that is). Two of them are going back to wrestling games. The ones whose origins began in this game? I have homes for them, but they won't be MMOs.

I don't forsee any MMOs in my future, unless it can grab me like this game did. I didn't like MMOs.....I liked CITY OF HEROES. Reading an issue of Game Informer (mainly for Final Fantasy X), I saw an article about the game when it was in development. Something speaks volumes about a game that snags you in when it hasn't even been released. Now, I didn't start the game at launch as I was in Basic Training the day it did, but when I got my first PC (and later upgraded to a true gaming PC built from scratch) I subbed to the game and never left. Sure, some console games pulled me away for a bit, but not once did I ever unsub from the game.

The thing I'll miss most, are the players. No matter how famous or infamous they were. (Hey, our three biggest trolls were good for laughs, and I'm sure most of you remember who they were) I don't think I'll come across another community like this one for a long time.

If I never see any of you again, it was a pleasure. But I do hope to cross paths with you all again, wherever we all end up.

My first post was also here in the Champion section.

Nice to see you still around, 'Phall.
