I still stand by everything I wrote six months ago on this thread.
I also still miss City of Heroes. With every other game I've played, it's been the situation where I could pick the game back up if I wanted (my home consoles and even some old DOS games), or I had made my peace with a game and cut ties to it (when Diablo deleted my level 45 Warrior while patching, I knew that was it for me; when I logged in to find GunZ no longer online after a few months away, it was just a brief "Meh" and done).
I didn't really get to do either of those with City of Heroes, apart from giving a fourth AE arc that gave a hopeful resolution to the story of Waddle the Penguin, of the PENGUIN Project from Crey Biotech. I'd still be playing City of Heroes today if I could, as I think we all agree we would be.
I keep meaning to try Icon, but I keep hesitating. Part of it's not knowing how I'll take logging in to an empty Paragon City. Part of it's concern over, of course, the legality of the software accessing even a limited portion of the game.
All in all, City of Heroes was, and arguably still is, an amazing part of my life. It's one I'd love to have back in full.
