Hello friends!
So I was panicking earlier this evening (morning?). Only 23 more days until City of Heroes goes offline. I guess I was hit with that initial shock all over again. My boyfriend had to deal with it (he went to bed early for a good reason). After tabling my emotional reaction, I started thinking a little more clearly. So here I am. I wanted to remind you guys, in the absence of any news from the heroes here at Titan, that this DOES NOT end on November 30th.
I was playing the game earlier on the beta server. There was a TOTAL of 8 people, myself included, online. Only 8. As I gleefully redeemed hundreds of super packs, I was hit with a corrosive sense of despair. My joy of running around with DXP and all the 8-hour amplifiers began to wane rather quickly. The reason I enjoy the game so much, as I'm certain many of you would agree, is the constant chatter, team-building, etc that comes from other players, i.e. the community. I.e. you guys.
So here's my point: Just because the game goes offline doesn't mean that our community dies. Being of little consequence, I don't have much reassuring news. I don't have any news, actually. But I hope you all believe in this community as strongly as I do. You guys are truly amazing, and this isn't over. No matter the final outcome, whether it's a miracle, a bootlegged Cities or Plan Z I firmly believe that we can survive.
I hope you all share this sentiment. /endemotionalrant
