I'm in.

I'll be in Guild Wars 2, on Yak's Bend, by the Mystic Forge in Lion's Arch. Remember that guesting is free, in case you are on a different server.

My name is Aislinn Yula there if you wish to friend me. I'll have the guild tag [CoH]

I am shocked you didn't list Champions Online.  Is anything happening there? 

I wish I could volunteer, but I don't have time to properly represent.


Man, I miss my CoH.

Its been a bit, but yes, I still monitor.

I'll try to be there in GW2.

But the Mystic Forge is constantly overcrowded with crazy stuff going on. Might i suggest the Grand Piazza instead?
Title: Re: Remember City of Heroes this November 30th!
Post by: Risha on November 24, 2013, 01:35:30 AM
I tried everything.  The longest I stuck with anything was The Secret World, but the craft stuff just flummoxed me, I didn't like (to me) the overall depressing feeling of the game, and I really have no idea what server is on.  So I'll be here on the boards but not ingame anywhere.

I will definitely be on DC Universe online and Champions online on November 30th... I will be on all day showing my support for COH. Played city of heroes 2 months after its release and never stopped playing. Just want to give a quick Shout to the devs of Missing Worlds Media for reaching their goal on creating our new home to be released on 2015 ( City Of Titans ). I still hope NCSOFT finds it in their hearts to release the rights to COH and let us come home. anyways, I will be updating you all soon with character names for each game. #SAVECOH

Depending on what time it goes up (if it goes up as planned; I know how finicky computer systems can be), maybe we should meet in Valiance Online.  We can "kick the tires", as it were.

I'm happy to hold one in RIFT on Faeblight. Possible locations can be Sanctum (for Guardians), Meridian (for Defiants), or Tempest Bay (for both, if the lowbies can get there).

I will be on Champions Online and may I make a suggestion for where we can meet up at? I think we should meet up in the blimp for this, I was thinking smack dab in the middle of the ren center but that is where a lot of people pvp at and they tend to get very grumpy if anything is interrupting there pvp so maybe the blimp? and I made 2 toons from CoH Annie Maul and Poisonous Lilac the rest of my toons are new to CO.

I should specify more on the STO meetup.

The dance club is known as "Club 47." I'm not sure what zone we'll meet in, but I'll announce it closer to the time.

That sounds like a plan, is there a way for toons without flight or ground leaving powers to get there?

In CO, how about in the middle of Ren Center, or up in the blimp?

I like this, but the blimp is rather secluded.  The question becomes are we doing this for us or to send a message?  If its just for us, I'll be up in the blimp.  If we're trying to send a message, we want to be much more out in the open in which case to hell with the PvPers, we oughta do this in the middle of the Ren Center.

The idea is for it to be both for us and to send a message. So a public place is ideal. Somewhere everyone can see and join in.

I'll volunteer to take command of the CO memorial.  I'll broadcast on both Zone and the CoX channel and probably The Cape what instance I'm in.

If there's any other channels I should broadcast in to let people know where to go, let me know, but I think I've got most of the bases covered.

Every once in a while I go watch Molten Slowa's twitch TV broadcast from the last day. At one point he joined a large group of us on Skype, and then joined in on a Ship raid we were doing. It's a bit bitter sweet, but it does bring back some good memories of how we celebrated the game before it was shuttered that night.

Always remembering - went into a demo from that night 1 year ago for this shot.
Whoa!  Where did that take place?  Then again I'm noticing a lot of Crabs.  In the Isles then?

I started City of heroes towards the end, in August I believe.  I could have started playing much sooner, but I had parents who were antsy about subscription based games, and when I moved to South Africa I had to make do with pre-paid internet for a while and didn't find out City of Heroes went free to play for a while, though I always was interested.   In it I found one of the nicest, most polite communities I've ever encountered in a long time with such an eclectic meeting of various interests coming together to make something unique. 

It made me dearly wish I hopped on board earlier. 

I think the very first time I became aware of CoX is when I bought City of Villains as a kid but at the time didn't have an internet connection, which made me quite disappointed as at the time, I didn't know how MMOs worked.  I remembered enthusiastically reading the manual though. 

Maybe I could have started earlier if I were more convincing with my parents.  I mean, it couldn't have been harder than convincing them to get a magazine subscription right?

But honestly I can't just linger on the what ifs. 

It was an amazing game and I was excited to take part of it during my limited time with it and dearly wished I could have been part of the community longer.

And it seems I'm late to the party again.  Drat.  :P

Think of yourself as early for 2015.

Bah, it's no fun to be early unless you've only got seconds left on the wire.   ;)

Thank you for taking those pics! It was amazing to see SOOOO many people show up last night. I think one or two non-COH'ers stopped by to see what the crowd was for. Standing on the steps of City Hall was very reminiscent of the AP33 days.
We all did the CO 'AFK' emote- kneeling with head bowed down at 3am EST.

"City of Heroes is gone, for now, but NEVER forgotten in our hearts.  They shut down our home but not our community.  We salute those we have lost this past year. We look to the future to our new homes- CoT, H&V, and VO."

I tried... but I couldn't do it. I couldn't take part in any festivities. Too angry at life and the world in general... and at NCSoft in particular for killing one of my few respites from it. too tired to go down to the public library to download a client for CO again,  too angry and depressed to write the fan fic I intended to write... just.... ugh.  :'(

I feel the same way...I wrote my letters to Dr.Evil of NCsoft, wrote other companies to buy CoH, etc, as per Titan website suggested many moons ago....So I didn't sit on my duff, even learned Blender to a comfortable point for kicks.

Kind of waking up to the fact CoH is gone and NCsoft has no plans to relinquish the game to any 3rd party vendor out of spite to us dedicated subscribers.
"Appreciate you all for making us rich, Thank you and Good riddance."
I was not really an avid gamer, I experimented with CoH as a diversion to get over personal problems 7+ years ago and discovered something much more to my surprise.

CoH was 'alive' as it was a special community and that can't be easily duplicated. Thank you fellow players for making it a wonderful virtual reality paradise.
.........Guess that's life, appreciate good times while supplies last.  :-*

Yeah. Always have to cherish the good while it's there as if it single day is it's last.

And that can be applied to people, games, things, money, anything. Because that one day it's taken for granted, it's gone and sometimes may not come back.

Seven of us (one more showed later, but some had already left).

Sorry, didn't notice the question beneath all the pics -

That pic was in our coalition SG Base on Justice, with all members who showed up & some alts&Villain-side composited in later, plus a couple of the NPC Heroes/Villains on the stage.  I had originally intended to insert all the cast, but after the final closure I couldn't seem to even deal with the thought of "finishing" it.
