Its over

Virtue got fussy the last few hours -- and crashed 4 times.  The final time was in the last 5 minutes.  I tried to get in one last hero tip mission with Doctor Futura, but failed to complete it due to the third crash.  And I was right next to the Longbow I was attempting to rescue.

It took quite a while to get on after that.   With less than an hour to go I joined the other Gods of the Golden Age & Young Gods of the Golden Age in the base.   Some final farewells were exchanged, and a multitude of screenshots were taken.   With less than 10 minutes to go we were taking this pose.   I got hit by the crash.  This was the last CoH screenshot I'll take.   Heaven knows I've down thousands a year for ages.  (open the image in a new tab for the fullsize image)

Listening into the Cape, I found it happened a server at a time shortly after the 3 o'clock bell.

 

I came to City to reunite with old paper RPG friends.  I ended up making several new ones in various groups under various identities.   I find it hard to say goodbye to City of Heroes.   Very Hard.  It has made me very depressed.   Going the way it did, it is hard to remember the good times.
