Though I played a little bit of COH Freedom, we didn't have the time, nor did we want to commit further resources to bringing back our old and loved toons. It was only today that I came across the "Sunset" notice. No, it wasn't the title of the upcoming Issue, it was the complete closure of the game that has been ongoing since 2004.
And this was just two days after my wife and I were discussing our favourite moments and characters in the game over dinner. The designated closing day will be on 30th November 2012.
Farewell forever, City of Heroes and Villains; the first and best superhero MMO. You were instrumental in our courtship, and provided a place for us to spend time together, beating up baddies, and an outlet for our creativity and humour. Farewell to all the online personalities that we (@Jay Kay and @Tragos) have met over the years, most notably @Flautist, and all the rest of you who coo-ed and ooh-ed and ahh-ed when Hemingway did his backflips and macho dog poses.
