I've played on Infinity (off and on) since CoV launched. Up until about 3 years ago, I was someone who rarely teamed so most folks probably won't even know me. Also, as someone with sever altitis and not a lot of extra money, I've had to branch out and play on almost all the English speaking servers. Anyway, I saw this and decided to answer.

I play CoH daily, if anything the announcement has prompted me to play more than I previously did.

While online I do everything I did before. I solo, I team, I spend time just chatting and I IO some characters. The one thing I've stopped doing is playing the market. I used to do it simply for the selling badges but the inf I made didn't hurt.

I plan on trying out other MMO's, ones that have free-to-play options. Like STO, CO, DCUO, SWTOR (when it goes free anyway) and when released, the Marvel MMO. I've had accounts in STO and CO for a while now, but almost never played them.

Never had Steam and never heard anything overly good about it OTHER than the fact they have some decent sales on games from time to time. Maybe I'll check it out, but not real likely.

My last console purchase (for purely gaming purposes) was a Dreamcast. I did buy an old XBOX a few years back, but I use it as a media player more than anything. I have been considering getting a 360 and maybe now is the time to move that idea off the back burner.

Thanks for posting, Ynaught.

I'm playing City of Heroes sporadically. Or trying to - Everytime I've gone online, there hasn't been much to do. I've intentionally cut off my opportunities to sink anymore time into the game by starting up some console games (I'm anal in that I like to only be playing one game at a time).

However, I work from home on Tuesdays, so I'm in front of the computer all day. I generally log on, turn LFT on, then do some work. That's what I did yesterday, and after so much time of not even seeing a peep on Help or LFG, (and doing a /search to see that there were 14 players, all solo, on the entire server). I then went to the Beta server and soloed for a sec as a Staff/Bio Armor newly created character, but quickly got bored. I'm not into the game to solo.

But I'll likely continue to be here online on Tuesdays throughout the day.

I will be here Nov. 30th as long as I don't have anything else going on... I just looked. That's a Friday. Gonna be tough.

CoH was my first MMO. I also tried:
A free trial of Rift (didn't make it past the tutorial before I got bored)
Champions Online (for a month before giving up on it)
DCU Online (Same month, but I enjoyed this one more)

I re-downloaded and re-patched both CO and DCUO yesterday. I was immediately put off of CO, but DCUO still looked cool. I may try to figure that one out some more.

The Secret World looks really interesting, but I don't know about interesting enough for me to sink the time into it.

I do have Steam. My id, I believe, is chrismosesmagnum, so add me if you like. However, I haven't played m/any multiplayer games through the service. I do have Left 4 Dead 2, but I've only played it once. The last game I played was Penny Arcade: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness ep. 2.

I've considered myself a console gamer my entire life, and it wasn't until City of Heroes that I wouldn't play a console game daily/weekly.

I only have a PS3. I had a 360, but I wasn't interested in the Microsoft exclusives, so I got a PS3 instead.

My PSN ID is ChrisMoses.

I'm currently playing the original Darksiders. I also have Borderlands 2, if anyone wants to do some co-op on that.

Other than that, I have a pretty large library of games, but also a huge stack of games I haven't even played, so they're next up. And that stack will grow over the next few months with the release of Dishonored, Resident Evil 6, XCOM (both the FPS and strategy), Assassin's Creed III, and The Last of Us, not to mention a few smaller releases.

/OH. Infinity? I... have a couple of character there, I think. Firehero and Flyingman, I think. If not them, then IIB for sure. So... ok, sure, I count.

First and foremost, are you still playing City of Heroes?
Yes
How often?
Eh, it's been varying. Minimum once a week for the weekly tfs, but I try to log in at least once more just to futz around.
What do you do when you're online?
Kill things. I can't think of another MMO that likes to pile on enemies like CoX does, so I've been doing a lot of herding just to revel in it while I can. Some talking to people, lots of duo'ing with the husband.
Will you be here on Nov. 30th?
If real life allows, absolutely.

Do you have plans to play any other MMOs?
Yes.
Which ones?
I'd really like to check out TSW or World of Tanks, but I'm waiting til Nov 30th before even thinking about switching. Oh, and giving a hard look at City of Steam. It looks like a blast.
Did you have an account in that game prior to CoH's demise?
Before the announcement? No, on all accounts. Before Nov 30th I'll at least have done the free trial for TSW. City of Steam is heading into beta, so have to wait on that and World of Tanks is F2P. It's downloaded, but I haven't set anything up yet.

Do you have Steam?
Yup.
Do you want to share your Steam ID?
DelveBlue
What do you generally play through Steam?
Skyrim and Civ 4 or 5. I'm looking to pick up Orcs Must Die! 1 and 2 on my account (played it on the husband's account before getting my own), and Borderlands 1 and 2 during the winter sale that always happens. I found I like picking up little games on Steam to see what's out there other than the big names, so this list will always be changing (except for maybe Skyrim. I really love that damn game).

What about consoles?
Wii, single player games, so the gist of these questions are irrelevant, so I won't be answering.
PS3?
360?

It's been a while since we've had a poll like this. Whee!

First and foremost, are you still playing City of Heroes?
How often? – Not much, every time I try to play I normally only end up getting too depress and quit after about ten minutes. On weekends I may stay on longer if iTrails are running
What do you do when you're online? – Primary just saving screenshots of all my alts, or iTrails on weekends (to help others)
Will you be here on Nov. 30th? – Unknown

Do you have plans to play any other MMOs? – I purchased GW2 the day before the announcement, but now refuse to play that as well due to my refund dispute with NCSoft, was also keen on Wildfire but not anymore.
Which ones? Guess I may go back LOTRO (if any)
Did you have an account in that game prior to CoH's demise? Yes - Lifetime Account

For the last 18 years I’ve only been interested in MMORPGS, during that time I doubt I’ve purchased or played more than three or four games there weren’t a MMORPG. However, my love affair with MMORPGs may now be over

First and foremost, are you still playing City of Heroes?
Yes
How often?
Almost daily? Been doing weekly TF's, but keep getting distracted by World of Tanks and Skyrim. Little bit of Starcraft II as well.
What do you do when you're online?
Kill things. Kill many things. Working on getting my Mastermind and Defender to 50, so I'll have a 50 of every AT afore shutdown. Been putting off cataloging the stable of alts I have, but need to get Sentinel+ eventually.
Will you be here on Nov. 30th?
Barring world-changing events, yup. There will be booze and VOIP and something going down until they pull the damn plug. Hell, I might even PvP.

Do you have plans to play any other MMOs?
Ayup.
Which ones?
Playing World of Tanks ("Is_Errant" there), though that's more a MOBA. Wifey introduced me to to City of Steam and The Secret World, waiting on beta for CoS and gonna do the Free Trial some weekend on TSW. Pro'ly gonna harass the dUmbies in TSW.
Did you have an account in that game prior to CoH's demise?
WoT, yes, it's been an off and on, benefited by it's F2P status.

Do you have Steam?
Yessir.
Do you want to share your Steam ID?
Errant
What do you generally play through Steam?
Skyrim, Borderlands, Mass Effect, Magic 2013

What about consoles?
Wii, and mostly single player games at that. I do have Mario Kart though, just not good/don't know my friend code. I also am a PokeHolic, have HeartGold, Black, and will be grabbing White 2. Once I get a second wi-fi router up so I don't have to change my main settings, I'll be able to intrawebs battle through those.

I also have a Windows Live tag, e'en though I don't own a 360. Only used for Fallout 3, and don't remember the handle. Can find anything I've not volunteered if prompted though.

I'm gonna miss this game, and the Infinity people...

Also, Moses? This is a damn survey, not a poll. ^_^

First and foremost, are you still playing City of Heroes?
Yes.

How often?
About the same as previously. I have regularly scheduled stuff on Tuesday evening, Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

What do you do when you're online?
The usual. I like task forces a lot. Tip missions with my brother since he has some toons he wants to change alignment.

Will you be here on Nov. 30th?
In general, yes. Will I be online when the servers shut down, I dunno. What day does it fall on?

Do you have plans to play any other MMOs?
Yes.

Which ones?
Dunno yet. I and a couple of friends are evaluating possible games to migrate to.

Did you have an account in that game prior to CoH's demise?
I don't play any other online games.

Do you have Steam?
No.

This isn't that many questions, you jackals!

Also, Nov. 30th is a Friday, Iron.

Make that Nov. 29th, which is a Thursday. I'll have work bright and early the next day... =/

First and foremost, are you still playing City of Heroes?
How often?
Yes. Part of a regular Tuesday evening TF team, sometimes part of IB's Saturday afternoon TF team (when my other main hobby of SCA desn't take me elsewhere), other times an hour or two at a time.


What do you do when you're online?
Besides the two TF groups, mainly taking pictures of alts against various backdrops & of my bases (I have 5), but I do have two alts that I will get to 50 before the end (it won't be difficult, they are both above 40 ATM). If I have time, playing my NA & WB alts to at least middling levels.

Will you be here on Nov. 30th?
Absolutely! But not saying I will be coherent 'cause it's so damn hard to see through the tears.

Do you have plans to play any other MMOs?
Which ones?
Did you have an account in that game prior to CoH's demise?
I have had a WoW account for about a year now, with a Shaman in the low 30s (see how much I play it?). My husband, who abandoned Cith for WoW when it came out expects me to play there, so I probably will. I can see some similarities between m Shaman and some of my CoH characters, powers-wise.

My husband had a trial account on Secret World, but didn't really like it. I was intrigued about what I read about it way back when it was frst being discussed, I might take a look.

I also might peek at CO, but I don't really expect I will stay.
