Things are starting to more quiet around here.

The game is definately getting quieter, I imagine by the end, anyone who wants the teaming experience will migrate to the larger servers.

As for the forums, I know I have contemplated just not bothering anymore because the vibe has changed so drastically. Unfortunately, the mostly rational discussions have left the premisis and have been replaced by doom and flauntingly breaking the accepted rules for no other reason besides that it can be done.

Not exactly how I want to remember things around here, and my respect goes out to folks who have been able to maintain an even keel.

I view the forums every other day just to keep up with any new info, interesting threads etc. Haven't been able to play the game much but even if i was able i'd still be slowly playing less just mostly due to numbers r getting less (as expected), and for that moment when the game actually ends i won't be hard hit as i was when it was first announced.

Tho like a few others i know, by playing less IF it is saved (somehow) then getting back into it would be almost like a fresh start/coming bk from a nice holiday

I'm really going to miss City Of Heroes, but I'm with the majority. I've stopped playing for weeks. It's pointless to me to level up my characters when I know that the market's in ruins and that I can't even IO out one last toon before the servers go dark.

Crappy thing is after playing for nearly 5 years now do I finally get into controllers and all the other classes I wasn't previously interested in playing. I was able to finish playing a few characters and even create 4 characters based on the seasons like I had always intended doing. I'll be here on November 29th, but it is unlikely I'll be playing much before then.

As far as video games and MMO's are concerned; I'm done. I have an X-Box that gets very little use from me outside of Netflix and Hulu. It's the first system I've had since Playstation 2. My girlfriend got it for my birthday this summer, but I can't find it in me to justify getting into an involved video game anymore, especially after this. It seems I'm not alone with my feelings on games as from what I'm reading many of you share the same sentiment toward video games after NC Soft's announcement.

I don't think it's pointless to play. If the end is truly near, then why not enjoy as much as you can before the end? I read BillZBubba's post concerning this very thing. His beloved dog was losing her fight with cancer. Insted of staying away from her because he was sad, he spent as much time with her as possible. He never has to say 'I wish I had.....' now. That's what I am trying to do. I don't plan on replacing My City with another mmo because nothing out there comes close.

I'm going to do something I hate when other people do....I'm going to relate this to a real life tragedy.

Growing up, I was a HUGE wrestling fan...went to wrestlemania V with my best friend, ordered PPV's, read the dirt sheets. I followed it as I grew to adult hood, hung out with work friends on Monday nights to watch Raw/Nitro.

Then one of my favorite wrestlers killed his wife, his child and then himself. I've hardly watched it since.

I think MMO's are going to be the same (ie...after ncsoft shuts down CoH that's it for me).
