What should I ask for now?

Make yourself a superhero. Ask for something completely frivolous, that you may not even use that much, but when you pick it up and hold it, you can't help but feel super.
For me, that is my 21", 16-gauge steel shield, designed for realistic stage combat. I could break down a door with this thing, so when I hold it, I can't help but feel super. A friend of mine has an "archery hobby" (in quotes because he goes to practice maybe once a month), but he really just likes the bows because they make him feel like Hawkeye, Green Arrow, Speedy, etc.
Find your superhero prop and ask for that!
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
Hmmm... really sharp talon gloves? Sounds fun.
Be well, people of CoH.
You could ask for tickets to Batman: The Musical. The critics agree, "It's a play!" (except for Bruce Wayne, who called it "shwarbage.")

You could also see Michael Buble and catch his totally swingin' (pun intended), Big Band version of the Spider-Man theme.

I find it impossible to watch either of these clips without breaking into a smile.

Ask him to for a very high quality, stable server farm... just in case!

Dear 2Short,
I will repeat for you what my 8-year-old son said to me the other day:
"Mom, why are you upset about CoH closing? It isn't November 30th yet! Keep fighting for it instead!" And I only told him about it once right on August 31st when the announcement was made. It was amazing to me that he remembered the closing date, never mind that he had great advice about the situation.
Ah, but from the mouths of babes!
Every time you think about Christmas, send the petition link to someone you know who games. Or blog about NCSoft and CoH. If you don't blog, start a gaming blog. 1up and other free blogging sites actually house large networks of gamers and many of them really do care about the industry.
Or next time you're stopping by your local gaming store, mention CoH's closure and ask them if they know about it and are already spreading the word. If not, educate them, and ask if they will help you spread it.
Silence and apathy are the only real enemies here. NCSoft is "in talks" with Paragon Studios. Talks wouldn't have been going on for four weeks straight if something realistic and tangible wasn't at least partway in the works.
Ask for more cox
If CoH closes down on Nov 30th you can ask Santa for a lifetime sub to The Secret World (It costs the same as a years sub) and join the CoH refugees that are now playing there.
Or you could join the Paragon Fleet at Star Trek Online
And there are CoH players at Champions Online
Stay in touch. Even if this is the end it doesn't mean goodbye.
Well I really don't want to spend anymore money on online games so until TSW ever goes free to play I will not play it and it is not worth downloading for a 3 day free trial even if they give me 2 more days for completing 30 missions, even if the game does really look good.
I did sign the petition and got a few more people to sign it I have it on my facebook page, also sent in a letter and also sent an email so yeah I am not sitting quietly I am doing what I can, it just gets sad and angry about all this sometimes.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
How about something completely useless...2S2C... like a trip to some remote island to watch the sun rise and reflect on Hero days....

You are in the same boat I am. For five years, we gave each other COH subs as our Christmas gifts! My bday is also December, and our anniversary is Oct. If we needed computer upgrades, then that would be part of the present too. Before Freedom, I would say don't worry about getting me anything. I'll just spend it all in whatever costume pack/ upgrades come out. I told my hubby, "we may actually have to BUY presents this year"
