I know there are other threads on this subject, but this is important to me. I wanted to have the best chance of it actually getting read. Plus I have never started a thread in this forum so this is my first one. I have never spent much time in the forums in the past even though I have been playing a long time.
This is the only MMO I have ever played. Well I did try out DC Universe a few times and I tried Champions Online, but I have never even went past LVL 1 in those games.
I started playing City Of Heroes and was unsure about playing online with other people that I didn't know. I joined an Super Group without having any Idea what that was. The Leader was very kind. He showed me the base and even supplied me with enhancements and Inspirations on a few occasions. He had to ask me if I needed anything cause I never would of asked. At the time that was a big deal to me, cause being new I had very very little Influence. Being able to afford Dual Origin Enhancements was almost impossible. he game has changed a lot since then, and now I have expensive builds on most lvl 50 toons and Billions in the bank, but back then I was damn poor. So yes to me that was a great show of a great community.
Later when I got my first Character to LVL 20 I needed to do a Cape Mish. My Toon then was an Empath and I couldn't complete the mission. Soloing with most any toon now I can do but then well lets just say I have gotten better through the years. Someone told me to broadcast for help with it so I did. To my surprise a 50 offered to help. Being new to the game at the time a 50 to me was like a God so I was very surprised that they would bother. They came and knocked the mission out for me, and boom I had my cape. Ever since then any time I can help with things like that I always try to help.
Later still me and a very close friend that I met in game who sadly doesn't play anymore, we were in the Tailor in Steel Canyon getting some alterations done when this LVL 50 comes in. I think we might have gotten to around LVL 30 by this point. Any this 50 AKA God comes in and just comes up to each of us and gives us 2 Million a piece. Holy Crap 2 million? Are you kidding? I had never had a few 100 thousand at one time yet and she gives me 2 Million WOW. So again I found myself giving new peeps millions on several occasions. My friend she was very inspired she did that kind of thing all the time. Sometimes she would do CCs just so she could give away all kinds of cool stuff and Influence. ICE RAYS use to go into the Sewers with here Empath Green Medic and heal the lowbie teams down there just to help out. Because of her I did this some myself with my Global Name sake Empath Elfin Medic. The point is we were shown great kindness when we started and it inspired us to do the same.
We started a SG Defenders Of The Light and ICE RAYS, LOBO and Elfin Medic were the leaders. This allowed us to do more good helping people and build a base in the process. Elfin Medic is one of the only active member in Defenders of The Light now. It has a huge base and is still in the top 100 but deserted. Its sad that it is not what it once was but those were good memories. My other toons have there own base now.
On my second 50 I was on a team at 49 and people were staying on the team that I didn't know just to help me make 50. The list goes on and on. This community is exactly that a community. Not just a bunch of strangers out for them selves but a true community that mostly cares for each other even when they don't agree on things.
Like I have said I have made some great friends on here. Some who still play some who don't. I have made friends with people from all over the Planet. From Coast to Coast and across the world. My two longest and best in game friends live in Australia. Jsonic and MarkC. Better know as Supertanker and Speeedy. ICERAYS from Chicago who doesn't play much anymore, and Lobo also from Chicago. Charming Charisma who sent me a Christmas card one year. Plus many many more. jae, Daphnie, just to many to mention all or remember.
In 2009 my sister was battling Cancer. One day I thought you know she is battling Cancer like a Hero. So I decided to make a Character to honor her. I made the toon look as close to her at younger age as I could. I wrote a description talking about her cancer to honor her courage. It is a Plant/Rad toon. These were also picked with her in mind. Plant because she liked to grow things and rad because she was taking Radiation for her Cancer. One day in the hospital I told her about my game City Of Heroes and the Character I had made to Honor her. I described the Toon to her. What it looked like, what it was wearing, and its powers, and what it could do. She said and I quote "I sound pretty cool." Two months later my sister was gone. My sisters name was Rhonda Lynn and in Radiant Ivy's description it states that Radiant Ivy is the Hero name of Rhonda Lynn. It tells of her courage in her battle with cancer and of her passing. I know some may think its silly, but for me in some ways she lives on in Radiant Ivy.
So for me there are many reasons why I do not want this game to end. My Grandson who is only 3 was even starting to play it with me some. With my help. He is only 3. LOL
Not sure what I am trying to accomplish with this thread. I just wanted to say my feelings about the whole thing. I hope NCSoft will listen to reason and let us keep out game even if they never do even one more update. Just let us have access to it.

I am a huge Superman Fan and I am having a painting done in my base with most of my Heroes at a celebration where Superman is shaking Statesman's hand.
Huge Superman fan but still didn't like DC Universe.
