I know that I haven't posted here but one time, but I have been *cough* obsessively *cough* watching the forum for news, and what I've noticed both here and in game is that a lot of people are losing heart.
I enjoy standing in front of Atlas Park holding a torch and/or pop dancing as much as the next person. I've been out there every day/night since the rally with one Level 50 toon or another (mostly my main Hero), and I've made some wonderful friends in the process. They are the most faithful, devoted bunch of people whom I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and I love them all. Anyway, I have participated in marches and in game events, and even created/leveled a few new toons. I poured my heart out on my newly created blog (
lunarunderfire.blogspot.com) which, by the way, I'll be writing another entry on within the next few days. I even sent NCsoft two certified letters.
All of these are great ideas, but guys, it's time to take City of Heroes to the real world. I have spoken with a few people about this idea in game, but I'd like to make it official. I would like to start a Save City of Heroes t-shirt campaign.
What you do is:
1. Go to your local craft shoppe and pick up a package of custom iron-on transfers. You can also find them online. Here is a link to where I purchased mine from:
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/404215/Avery-Personal-Creations-Stretchable-T-Shirt/?Channel=Google&mr:trackingCode=72430D1B-EC81-DE11-B7F3-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA&mr:match={matchtype}&mr:keyword={keyword}&cm_mmc=Mercent-_-Googlepla-_-Paper+Art_Craft_Papers-_-404215&mr:ad=22726153556&mr:adType=pla&mr:filter=442770933562. Either buy a new t-shirt - it doesn't have to be expensive - or grab an old one. Make sure it's clean!
3. Print off one of the existing Save City of Heroes banners, or better, be creative and design your own! It could be of your toon, your favourite place in Paragon City/the Rogue Isles, it doesn't matter. Just make it appropriate.
*****MAKE SURE THAT YOU INCLUDE TEXT SAYING "SAVE CITY OF HEROES!"*****
4. Print off your design, iron it onto your t-shirt, and wear it!
5. This is the biggest one - TAKE A PICTURE OF YOURSELF WEARING YOUR T-SHIRT! NCsoft has read our letters, noticed our outcry, but have they seen our faces? Let's put a face to our voices, and hey, let's have a few people ask us questions about our t-shirts that we're
more than happy to answer.
I'd like to ask Tony V to create an area where we can post all of the pictures that people take of themselves collectively. What's more important than being seen, is being seen as a community.
So... Thoughts?
