re: City of Heroes/City of Villians shutting down

I think a few people on here play/used to play it.

Maybe a few people on here might sign a petition:

Petition to save game

quote:
City of Heroes has been around for years now (around seven), and the community is still strong as ever. On August 31st, Paragon Studios was given the order to cease all operations and start shutting down the game--effective immediately. There was no build up to this order, no press conferences, nothing. The game will be officially shut down November 30th, 2012.

The only ones that seem to want to have City of Heroes shut down is NCSoft themselves. The community isn't ready for this, and neither is the development team; who is getting shoved out into the cold. City of Heroes is not responsible for the loss in NCSoft profits--other games are.

This petition is to stop NCSoft from shutting down the game and let many of its players keep their favorite game going! The players--and developers--are not prepared to see this game go down.

Something will happen. The community is dedicated.

I'd argue CoH was almost as important as EQ to MMO's, surely one of the best experiences of the decade in the genre.

If nothing else it might change your mind about buying NCSoft's Guild Wars 2. I know it did for me.

Eh, companies cut fat all the time. The way they did it WAS crappy, but support ANet, not NCSoft.

Also, you're robbing yourself of a game that has a TON in common with CoH actually, since we never got a CoH sequel.
