Very beautiful, and very sad. Brilliant work. Thanks DR.
I don't post very often, but I am a veteran of the game since open beta. I will admit that I have enjoyed all of you outstanding videos, and this one was no exception. I too found myself sniffling at it.
We will always have our memories and thanks to you and what you have done, we can visit CoH anytime we watch one of your videos. Thank you for all of them, I am not sure I can say that enough. 
I,m going to miss these video,s of yours this one is very moving thank you for all your hard work in producing these.

As usual, Michelle, you nailed it. I very much look forward to the other videos, but this is a great farewell. *sigh*
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
Loved it. And let me echo, watch it in HD. Really beautiful
Got to admit, though - I'd love a version with voice over for those first few shots.

You and your touching videos! I made it through all this time without sniffling and now dang it...*shakes fist*
Damn those ninjas slicing onions!
Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my banners, thank you.
As always... well done.

I'm literally going to be late to work because I'l have to clean myself up a bit after crying.
Excellent job, D_R. Lovely use of the music to enhance the impact of the images.

D_R you need to have a warning at the beginning to about having Kleenex on hand to watch it. I felt it was a great farewell video and made me cry from the beginning.
I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.
Got a little verklempt there at the end with the disconnecting countdown.
Be well, people of CoH.
Ah great, I'm a wreck again.
That was a beautiful send off. Thank you for it and all your other videos over the years.

Very well done, as always. Did a great job of capturing the sadness of COH's demise.
Absolutely amazing work! Sad to say it, but it's probably your best so far, 'Ko. Too bad the situation that inspired it had to be so dire. 
Don't mind me, I just have some dust in my eye.
So good ...
I thought my sadness was down to a dull ache ... guess not ...
Thanks for another great video!

That was beautiful, sad and touching. Moved me to tears, but also brought back the anger that they are taking this amazing game we all love and basically tossing it in the dumpster...

Wow really really awesome video.
Just when I thought I was done crying over this, I have tears running down my face.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for widows and lepers, no more merciful beheadings and call off christmas!
Thank you for this, and thank you for making the videos that would lure me into Paragon City, and for helping to send me off at the end of the story, with sadness, with pride, and as usual, with a few laughs.

This has to be one of the hardest videos I've ever made. Not just in terms of scale, but because of its origin... and I cried when it was finished.
This is not my last COH video - I still have at least two more I hope to finish before the closing of the game. But it is my 'farewell' to Paragon City, my home away from home.
YouTube version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9IFDGRp6tk (I advise watching it in HD if your connection can handle it)
Downloadable version: http://www.wanderingcrane.com/Videos.html (400MB download - yes, it's huge)
(PLEASE do not hotlink to the video file itself - if you want to share it, I'd prefer you send people to the YouTube link to save my bandwidth; otherwise, send them to the Videos page)

And yes, each zone actually links to the next (with the exception of Galaxy City, due to its closure).
