Hail Heroes!

Although it is not exactly what anyone had in mind, at least the crew at Game Informer i.e: Adam Biessener, kept true to mention City Of Heroes closing but did not go any further than, '' It's Western-developed title City of Heroes had a good run, and Guild Wars and its just-released sequel from Seattle-based ArenaNet have found success, but the company's Korean games have yet to click with Western audiences. ''

Under previews, page 111.
The review is about?
Blade & Soul

Although there is mention it doesn't truly do justice to the cause in my eyes. Also instead of running a CoH focused highlight they went with the upcoming release and have actually played it up leaving behind this closing segment -
'' This looks as likely as anything ever has to finally smash through the Korean-American cultural MMO divide where so many other games have failed. ''

I must admit, good team, that I am actually stumped on this one. The words that rile up inside of me are not that of what should be said. I'll try to get a picture (able to be read) up soon, but for now just know they did make good on their promise to an extent by giving us a moment's notice. It's a nice gesture from Game Informer.

Still a honorable mention is nice!

Just wanted to share the news.

Well, they're entitled to their opinion, although it sounds like none of them actually played CoH, so they'd be a lot less likely to care. Oh well, at this point it's all water under the bridge anyway. Nothing is going to change NCSoft's minds now.

Plan Z emu, time to rise and shine! :P

November 30th is still over a month away. I have many teachers that can attest to the fact that I am very stubborn, so I refuse to believe that this is game over, so to speak. People are bringing up the fact that NCSoft lied about trying to sell, maybe shareholders, who might understand that pissing off potential customers is bad business, will see that and decide to step in. I know it's a small chance, but it's a chance, as well as something else that we may not have even thought of might pop up that could be a game changer. Point is, I'm not ready to toss in the towel just yet, particularly since I'm using it as a cape....


Thanks to everyone that helped make me a welcomed part of the community, and for giving me over 3 years of some of the best gaming I've been able to take part in. May the next game bring many friendships and maybe reconnect to some old CoH friends.
