While I got into the original game very late (somewhere around late 2011) as a random suggestion from a close friend who was heavily into the worldbuilding and ideas, this is one of only three MMOs that I ever enjoyed enough to put time into, and as someone who normally groans at the idea of playing any game in the genre that isn't FF14, I let out happy squeaks when I saw the news. I look back at the (admittedly) short period I had before the shutdown and I can safely say that any memories I had with CoH are overwhelmingly positive - from creating dumb royalty-free versions of popular heroes to trying to justify why a pyromaniac leprechaun would suddenly want become a superhero, to just spending time talking with people and standing around in Atlas Park admiring the creativity on display. It feels good to be home.
Thanks a whole ton. May we never be forced out of Paragon City again.
