Well said, Teege. A large number of those signatures AREN'T players. They're our friends, family, and fellow gamers who may not appreciate CoH, but recognize it for what it is. Our home.
We are all fighting for our home here, tooth and nail. We give not an inch, and every bit they give, we push for more. It is a far more difficult thing to raise your voice for someone else's home, and many who signed the petition have done just that. I offer my humble thanks for that support, and vow that by $deity, this fight is NOT OVER.
