Really, the way Cryptic has handled CO since August just baffles me.
"Hey, guys, City of Heroes is closing in three months. What should we do? Since we'll basically be the #1 Superhero MMO after that, should we kick production into high gear, start working on a lot of new content and powersets, maybe even put out a Mac client, and try to grab all their customers the day it closes?" "I have a better idea. Why don't we make more blatant cash grabs, add a couple of short-term events that disappear after a week, add no new powersets or even tweaks to existing powers, and mostly just ignore the game like we have been doing? After all, we do have Neverwinter to work on, and there aren't many big fantasy MMOs on the market to compete with us, so let's focus on that." "...wait, what?"
Later...
"Hey, guys, City of Heroes has been closed for over six months now. Should we do anything to commemorate that? People are still looking for a good superhero game, and ours is coming up short for a lot of old CoH players." "I know just what to do. Why don't we move all our games - including the new one that's getting crushed with activity - to this single Lagotron 9000 computer, so that people either can't log in or have ping times measured in minutes rather than nanoseconds?" "Um...." "Trust me, it'll be brilliant!"
