Thank you so much for bringing the game back. The sheer amount of people coming back is a sure sign that NCSoft made the biggest mistake sunsetting the game way before it's time. We have MMOs celebrating their 20th anniversary, and now we can celebrate our 15th anniversary the way we're suppose to. In the game. Fighting the good Fight. Or the bad Fight if you're evil. Or just the Fight if you're somewhere in-between.
I remember playing the Steel Canyon Task Force and talking about Everquest and how unsure I was about this game. I had never played another MMO other than EQ and coming to CoH felt radically different at the time. This was Pre-Issue One but Post-Beta. I was in Beta but kinda got murdered by the Rikit the MOMENT I got Hover. It was a very short but very sweet introduction to this game. Still, as I ran from room to room, slaughtering monsters, waiting for everyone to recover between mobs, we had a little chat about game loyalty. I seem to remember someone saying to me.
"Yeah, EQ was your first but so what? You don't still sleep with your first do you?"
"Well, no," I replied to this logic. "But that doesn't mean I can't still appreciate the game for introducing me to the wonderful world of MMOs."
And no other MMO has ever come close to the measure of love I have for City of Heroes. And we will not see it's like again.
Not Champions Online
Not DC Online
Not World of Warcraft
Not Star Wars the Old Republic
Not Everquest
And probably not even City of Titans (If it EVER gets released.)
This game.
This is my game.
This is our game.
Glad to be back.
Thank you.
