Cute puppy pics.
I have a cold (day 2 of it), and I'm about to go on vacation to Charleston with my mom in the morning.
For some reason--maybe it's the keeping Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" on repeat all day--missing City of Heroes has hit me pretty hard this evening.
I truly hope the group working to get the game back up, or the licensing, or whatever it is--I've lost track by now, really--hasn't been and isn't being waylaid by NCSoft with a "we're not saying 'no' because we don't want to seem the bad guys, but we're not saying 'yes' for whatever reason, so please kindly take this refusal to say anything as a 'no' in lieu of a real answer" setup. I fear that deeply.
Floodgates, folks. That's what my eyes feel like they're on the edge of becoming, although I pride myself on being logical, emotionless largely, and rational. Is it a closure thing? When I found out about the game's them-upcoming closure, it hit me pretty hard. I basically quit playing for about a month or two; I was logging in, doing minimal stuff, but I was feeling like something I loved was instantly a waste of my time and money because in a few short months it would be gone. There were characters I never got to 60 that I wanted to. There was content I hadn't played. There were edits I wanted to do on my Mission Architect arcs to tighten their stories--particularly "Hammer and Sickle of Paragon City" and "PENGUIN Part 3: Waddle to the Big Top." There were elements of these stories that never quite worked for me, but at the time I was too close to the stuff to edit it properly, although I could certainly do so now if given the opportunity.
I guess it's a golden age sort of thing for me. Should the game return, I will be in like Flynn. Should the game not return but the license return for other products or projects, I'm in like Flynn up to the capabilities of my meager monetary resources.
