City of Heroes

Today I got an email from the creators of City of Heroes, the superhero MMO, stating that they are shutting down the game at the end of November. This is kind of startling news to me, since the game's setting was a big part of the inspiration for my stories, especially Brickhouse and Sovereign. Brickhouse started out as City of Villains character named "Muscle Goddess." She was a villain, although her backstory was she was a hero that had been mind controlled :). I haven't played the game in years (making comics is more fun), but the passing of that virtual world makes me a little sad.

Anyone else on these boards played CoH/CoV or other MMO's?

I played MacroLass for YEARS on the Champions server. She was an actual officer of our server's branch of the Freedom Phalanx too (before the admins got wise and blocked players from using in game names). It wasn't perfect but it was pretty darn good. As with most MMORPG guilds/supergroups, we had some interpersonal drama that broke things apart... :cry:

I'll have to see if I can post some of the pictures I saved of her.

Macrolass does look like she would fit right in in Paragon City!
