City of heroes was the first MMO I ever played back on live @Andreah introduced me to it when I was wee and had a problem with constraints on creativity and social biases on several Neverwinter nights servers. From my mmo journey mostly coh I grew a thicker skin, matured, and thrived creatively without having to confirm to rigid social order. I could just be me and be silly or serious and no one would judge
When coh shut down it effected me greatly with how I played games. I played mmos but I didn't commit to people or characters. Now coh is back again and better in some ways and I find myself reaching out to other players again.
Homecoming has been a healing experience.
