I never found an acceptable substitute for CoH--though I admit I didn't look all that hard--and even lost my taste for LOTRO, which I dabbled with occasionally prior to August 2012. If I can't play CoH, it seems I prefer playing Sid Myers' Civilization, or else doing something non-game, like reading. I know we each cope differently, so I hope whatever is you're doing is working well, even if it is not what I'm doing. While I still want our game back and the entire community able to enjoy CoH together again, I remain glad to see so many fans active (or at least semi-active) here. While I had hoped we'd have CoH restored in 6-12 months, I still feel optimism that in time we'll have it back. My optimism may be unwarranted, but it's how I feel. Hoping everyone is doing well and feeling as good as possible.
