My gameplan - 5 archetypes yet to get to 50 and some reminiscing

Amen.
Still hoping that City gets saved. If not, I'll remember it for a long time, it's been that intertwined with my life.

And while the details differ for each of us, the way this game is interwoven in our lives is why so many of us want to hold on to it.
However it goes, best of luck with your game plan!

So here I am on yet another business trip, playing City of Heroes during the evening to pass the time away and work on my plan to finally get one of each archetype to 50. I've been playing practically since launch, yet I still have to get a dominator, brute, stalker, and the epic archetypes to 50. Hmm, if I do the epics, I guess that means 7 more characters to get to 50.
My son called and I filled him in on my plan. "I'll help you dad". Sniff - attaboy.
My wife and son got me the game for my birthday the summer after it came out. A life-long comic fan, I had been coveting it, but was kind of reluctant to dive into a MMO for the first time. I'm sure she's regretting it now, but it's been a fun run.
The first account quickly turned into two so that my son could play. During business trips, we would sometimes play together, talking on the phone while we ran missions together and weekend mornings were often dedicated to City-time. He's a high school sophomore now, with lots of demands on his time, but we still get to play together when our free time aligns.
In a couple of years he'll be off to college. With City shutting down, I don't think we'll ever have that shared gaming experience again. Console controllers are a bear on my carpal tunnel, so I've left that area to him and his friends. On the plus side, I'll probably knock out a few more of the honey-do projects.
Still hoping that City gets saved. If not, I'll remember it for a long time, it's been that intertwined with my life.
