City of Heroes is dead. ;_;

[The Friendly Neighborhood Mad Scientist, J.C.]

I have played this game for 5+ years now. I loved it. They always had something new in the line to make me love the game all over and make me excited to play. My wife and I played, built characters, and played in an incredible world. I had hoped that when my kids got old enough we could all play together. You never expect something to last forever, but man you don't think it'll just end like that. NCSoft has just pulled the plug on the game, entire dev team just gone at the drop of a hat, and now one of my favorite past times is going to just disappear. That sucks, and not just because of the time and money I put into the game, but because of all the fun I won't be able to have again. All the dastardly deeds left undone, the wrongs I never got around to writing. I have to say, for all the good and bad, I am going to miss that game

I was actually hurt to find out that they shut it down.

But from what I've been hearing is that several people are making attempts to either save the game or buy it from NCsoft.

Thats sad. But its business...

Yeah, outcry has been pretty huge, but I don't have high hopes for it all. Like Stan said, Business is cruel. Besides even if CoH gets saved, it just wouldn't be the same. The trust and stability would be shattered. Who would spend money on a game that might just get the plug pulled again?

I've logged back in a couple of times since hearing it was ending.  I nice as it was to know it was there, I won't really miss it.  I had a great time with it for years, but it's been a while and I stopped playing for all the right reasons.  It was nice to get a last glimpse and say goodbye.
