I just wanted to say thank you.

houtex here.

 

I know I don't post much like I did in the old forums.  I'm almost a backgrounder these days, what with life being what it is for me compared to earlier.  Things Change(tm), as life is what it is.

 

But I suddenly had a need to say it, and I feel like it's long overdue too.  So I'm saying it:

 

Thank you.  To everyone.  Sincerely and heartfelt.  ❤️

 

To everyone who puts up with me and my weird characters, like Brawling Humiliator, the sometimes sorta but not quite tanky thing what otherwise is pretty useless in a team... but without can't get further.  Or Total Dependent, who has no offense, but will help buff with Ice.  Or the whip only MasterMind.  Or just me messing it up but trying anyway as I sometimes do.  And any of quite a few more goofy things that shouldn't exist/I should fix/stop, but do because I said, and you never disappoint in letting me have the fun trying.

 

To everyone who kept the dream alive, so that we may today enjoy the City.  And therefore everyone who *keeps* the dream alive.  GMs, server people, coders, and of course the donors, that last to which when things get better I swear I will become a member of.  Hell, to be honest, I'd like to be well off enough to just take that over and let us all just enjoy the City, would that I could, and I *absolutely* would.  But alas, not just yet.

 

And to anyone and everyone else, for any of a plethora of reasons.  You know who you are/why, and even if you don't, well, you're included anyway, because we're all a family in the City. 🙂

 

City of Heroes has been a large part of my life since I came aware of it back 6 months after it came out, as it may have been for some of you all out there for the whole life of CoH, and when it went down, it was hard.  Then we're back, and its being around has been a blessing for sure.  It calms me, even when I'm in the middle of battle.  It soothes me, it... it's a sort of therapy so I can forget, just a little bit, the RL that I've inherited and sometimes just don't wanna deal with.  When I can get in, that is, which sometimes is a bit of time between.  But then I get in, and all is well for a little while.

 

 So yeah. Nothing tragic goin' on, mind, just an overwhelming need to get this out.  All that and more.  All this sappiness... 

 

...directed at you all.  Even just for reading to this end.

 

Hugs, everyone.  And one more time:

 

Thank You All.  See ya in the City.

Oh, Houtie... you actually brought tears to my eyes. And, you mirrored what I feel deeply.

Thank you for your meaningful thank you. Being equally thankful for all who make this project a reality, player and Dev alike.   (well, the nice ones 😈) ⭐

Yeah thank you to everyone. To the donators who donated enough to actually get a license so this game will be perserved to hopefully the end of humanity/civilization like it deserves. To the gm's and rp operators for keeping it clean, to the dev team for both the website, the bots, the api, the servers, and most but not importantly the game for making this game not only just no longer a memory but better than ever with quality of life, performance, etc etc.

And most of all...

Thank you to the person reading this and any players of city of heroes classic, homecoming, or any of the private servers past, present, and future most of all. As most of the experience is from silly heroes doing silly things, and the friendships and bonds we make.

I may be new here... But I feel at home here... Which I never felt in any game, even if I enjoy the gameplay. :3

Thanks back and you're welcome from another normal denizen of Paragon City/Rogue Isles! 😺
