The REAL real reason.....

That's right friends, I have uncovered the REAL reason CoH is being shut down. And here it is:



At this point you're probably thinking, "Hey stupid, how the hell could Family Guy Online (currently in open beta) possibly effect NCSoft's decision to shut down CoH?" Well, I'm about to tell you!

Family Guy is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island.

CoH is set in the fictional city of Paragon City, Rhode Island.

Do you see now? Both games are set in Rhode Island!

On hearing about the emminent release of Family Guy Online NCSoft executives took a look at a map of the USA and saw just how small Rhode Island is. They quickly concluded that the MMO market could not possibly support two games set there. Knowing that FGO was an inevitable juggernaut of a game they decided then and there to pull out of the Rhode Island market before CoH was utterly crushed under the feet of Seth MacFarlane's behemoth IP.

Now you know the REAL reason, so spread the word. Perhaps Matt "Positron" Miller could agree to retcon CoH and place Paragon City in Maryland. Then NCSoft wouldn't be so threatened by the upcoming Goliath of a game.

Giggity, giggity! Awlllriiight!


I wonder what it's like to be a super hero.
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown.
From some other planet, I get this funky high on a yellow sun,
Boy I bet my friends will all be...stunned, they're stunned !

Thank you for the much-needed laugh!

I wish it were truly that simple to save our game.

why is this even a thing

The thought of a 'Family Guy'-based MMO existing makes me weep uncontrollable tears and despair for the human race in a way that the cancellation of CoH never could.

Congratulations, you have won a cupcake and a glass of wine.

This. To the nineteenth power.


I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

Yeah. Could be worse though. Haven't heard anything about a My Little Pony Online or Justin Bieber Online so...

That's good, right?


to TO THE END!
Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

That is not something I would ever remotely consider playing, no matter how awesome the pony creator was or how shiny and soft their manes looked...

I agree with all of it except the move paragon to MD I severely dislike that state. If you thought the npc drivers were bad now just running our heroes over with no warning honk or checking to see if we are okay just wait until they got the MD / DC area of bad driving update . Plus then I would have to worry about running into digital paragonian versions of ex girlfriends... And I'd hate to see how pissy they could be with super powers.

So I should be able to keep playing City of Villains then. That is, until a Bermuda based MMO comes out.

Where are the Rogue Isles anyway? For some reason I'm thinking off the east coast of the US, similar to where Bermuda is, but north some. Is there something in the canon about where they are?

I'm pretty sure its supposed to be a island chain not too far off the coast of Rhode Island with Bloody bay and striga as islands kinda in the halfway point.
