For one day, people will be on to welcome players, greet newcomers, share anecdotes, and hold a torch for City of Heroes on the 4th year after NCSoft shut it down.

There is no agenda.  There is no schedule or activities we're coordinating; if others want to do anything, go ahead.  It's an open invitation.  Just come as you are, when you can.  Lights go out when you do.

I just think it is amazing that even with the game gone for 4 years, we can still log into the city to create heroes and see and chat with other people.

As the Doctor would say 'Fantastic!'

I'll stop by. I am really having a hard time with this, this year.

Sorry to hear about your rough year, MWRuger.  Hope things improve for you soon.  See you tomorrow at the Vigil. 

[MWRuger]

Thanks! I find that I miss COH the worse things go in the real world. 2016 has been a corker.

It'll have to be later since I work days, but I'll see you there.

Still so many people that care about our City here tonight. :)

Someone at work asked what I do here on Titan Network, and when I explained it, she replied, "Why don't you guys find a new game out there instead of mourning a dead one?"

I dunno, it seems pretty alive to me.

Thanks to all who came, and thanks for those who wanted to attend who couldn't make it.  It is very appreciated.

Perfect answer, Tahquitz!  It's certainly been lively tonight, with at one point (by my admittedly imperfect count) what looked like 51 players and 60 alts on the steps, RP'ing, reminiscing, catching up with old friends, and holding torches.   Wonderful turnout.   :)

Will you be posting any more screen shots?

Early in the vigil before the Zone filled up (!) we could have multiple characters out.  The O'Hare sisters are on the right, hovering:

Like I said before. It's so friggin' awesome that even 4 years after shutdown, we can still at least log in the to city and chat and interact with other players.
