A few days ago NC Soft announced they were canceling City of Heroes, my online gaming home for most of the past decade (minus a year hiatus due to the rigors of childrearing). Its a strange feeling, like being evicted from a really amazing apartment building in a fantastic neighborhood where you lived for years, where you were friends with most of your neighbors, who'd also lived there for years, where a very special, insular community had come together away from the eyes of the outside world.
And then one day some creep in a suit knocks on your door and says "Hey, you gotta clear out, we're knocking this whole place down in a couplea weeks. Sure, you can stay until then. But you can't take anything with you. Huh? I dunno, I think it's gonna be a parking lot or car dealership or something."
This will be the repository of my history of the game and the characters I played, updated periodically.
I'll see if I can figure out how automagically send updates through my twitter, @n3therg0at.
If not, bookmark away, or I think there's some way to follow the blog if you have a gmail/blogger account.
