That, heroes, is the answer to Elliot's question on Massively the other day. We are fighting not just to win here, but to set an example of RIGHT. The battle for Paragon City will not be over if the servers go dark on November 30. Just as King Arthur's mission did not end at Mt Badon, or Vanyel's stewardship did not end with his death, nor Gandalf's when he fell with the balrog, the battle by the heroes of CoH must be such as to inspire a legend.
NCsoft holds many cards, but this they cannot take from us. Only WE can choose to make our stand an inspiration that will be remembered. That is the way to go forward despite any setbacks, and that is how we will convince others that the dream of a City of Heroes reborn is not just possible... but inevitable. No matter what happens, we "shall rise again! And woe to the wicked!"
We are heroes. This is what we do.
