History: This blog is the third incarnation, and started as a paper RPG & desktop gaming blog.  After starting the MMO City of Heroes days after its launch in 2004,  It developed into one dedicated to that MMO, as it remained for nearly eight years. On November 30, 2012 that MMO was shut down by the company NCSoft despite an outpouring of fan support and community outrage.  Starting In December 2012, I'm going to be opening up the focus of the blog to cover ANYTHING gaming I'm playing, be it PC, XBox 360, iPad, Dragon*Con, etc.

That being said, their will be images from various games posted on this blog.  No claim here is made to the games, and no intent to infringe on any copyrights are inferred.   Copyrights are property of the respective companies.


Rules: 

NO SPAM is welcome nor allowed.

ALL unsolicited off-topic posts and links will be removed, no matter how old the post used to hide them.

ALL SPAM posts will be reported.

Comments on-topic are welcome.

EMAIL any legitimate hyperlinks to me and if on topic, they'll be added to my LINK page.

Midnight for City of Heroes...

DateFriday, November 30, 2012 at 11:51PM

The evening continues.  As I write this it is about Midnight eastern time.   Just 3 hours of City remain.

I ran into the Gods of the Golden age with Doctor Futura.   Plenty of them were on tonight.  They ended up running a couple Lady Grey Task Forces.    i wandered around for a while, but was unable to get a team.

I did get on a couple other characters -- Techno-Nun, Ye Old Beefeater, Killer-Whale.   The latter made it to Pocket D for the Cape show party.

Lots of mixed emotions tonight.   Farewells fly back and forth.  Twitter buzzing with the same.   Some bitterness against NCSoft, but most are still holding torchlight vigils in several Atlas Parks (I think we're up to 7).  Still others are advertising which game they or their SGs are moving to.  

Some hold hopes that DISNEY Interactive might be able to buy COH.  Others are putting their faith in a new project -- Heroes and Villains.  Some are moving to Champions -- but most feel that both of the obvious competitor MMOs are not the same at all.  And the new Marvel Heroes game is a superhero skin on a Diablo game.   Its not a  MMO in any way.

I don't know if anything will come of City of Heroes in the future.   I do know that I'm glad I played.  I do know I will miss it greatly.
