Jo will be there Friday night, November 30th, right until the servers close... and right where she began. On the steps in front of Ms. Liberty, taking pictures until it all fades to black.

Thanks, Hit_Streak.

I am Lord Omi. Now and forever. They can take our City, but they can't take me.

Just a quick question: Will the servers be up all day on Friday and shutting down at midnight then? Because the way you have it listed now they are going to be shutting down Thursday night going into Friday morning instead of Friday night going into Saturday morning.

Well... I for one will be resetting my computer's date to November 20 every day after the 20th, so the servers *can't* be shut down, see?

...what do you mean, "That won't work?"

/*sighs heavily*
//Still thinks there's 'stuff' happening after November, just the timetable's not known...

August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Please answer this.

"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Yeah, ditto this question. I'd like to know so I can take the final day off from work.

Please try my custom mission arcs!

Yes, I too want to know when the servers will shut down. November 29th 11:59PM/November 30th 12:01 Am

or is it November 30th 11:59PM/November 31st 12:01 AM

That makes a difference.

Thanks Hit Streak.

Thanks Hit Streak. For grins, can you all activate badges like Passport and the Anniversary badges to award to alts that are logged in? Might as well rack up as many as possible before the sunset. (note: I don't expect bug-hunter of course )

You mean, did the developers secretly develop an invasion of EXTREME ENDGAME entities that weren't intended to be put in the game for several years yet?

I think you can figure out the answer on your own.

So this game started with a Rikti Invasion and it'll end with one.

Teams are the number one killer of soloists.

Hit Streak,

While you're asking questions, could you ask if anything will be done with Paragon Point balances? Aside from the post-8/24 refund clause of course.

This:

Quote:
Will I receive a refund for game time I acquired through the Refer a Friend program or free time acquired via a retail copy of City of Heroes, City of Villains or City of Heroes: Going Rogue?

Unfortunately, we will only be issuing refunds to players who have outstanding purchased subscription balances or paragon points.
kind of implies that 'outstanding purchased paragon points' would be refunded, but it's obviously unclear if that's really intended.

Could we please have Double XP turned on anytime that another event is not active? Many of us who are staying would at least like to level up some characters that we never got to level up over the years. It seems arbitrary (although so does almost everything else that's happened since August 31, 2012, but...yeah) to restrict Double XP to 1 weekend only. At this point, what's the harm?

Also, could we please have the Halloween Event extended through actual Halloween night (October 31)? Always been a fun night of ToT for me and my group.
