I took up city of heroes when it first launched when I was 8 years old. The game was my outlet from the pressures and hardships of life growing up. I hardly even remember a time when City of Heroes wasn't a huge part of my daily life. This actually got me to cry a little.
It has been 3 years since I last watched this and it's still hard to sit through without overwhelming feels. As someone who RP'd the Hell out of the Virtue server, I'm both upset and thankful that the creator captured the emotion so perfectly in this video and the song chosen for going so well with it. And that scene where the character was remembering people training at Ms. Liberty, then snapping back to the harsh reality that is a deserted game... damn you. just, damn you. When I watched the game shutting down, I myself didn't want to break character, and held out hope that it wouldn't be the end. I would still give up so much to go back to those times. 💔
I thought I was done, that I had shed all my tears already for City of Heroes. I haven't. Sadder yet, I find this video soon after I learned that Ascendant had passed away. But thank you for making and posting it.
To the developers, to everyone I played with in the game, from 2005 until it shut down in 2012 in Atlas Park 33. Even if we never teamed or even chatted. Thank you for making this the best MMORPG experience that has ever been created. I hope to see you all in City of Heroes Homecoming. Long may your innocence reign.
Heartfelt lyrics to game gone past. Is there anyway icon can be made in to a private server so we can have our home back? Does anyone know if they will they ever add powers, npcs, or mishs as well? This video just reminds me how empty icon feels without the community... over-whelmingly depressing /e cry
i hadnt played COH since the early version i completly forgot about it. now i wish i could have played it more. i can remember some of the zones or at least the layout :D brings back so many good memories.
True, I saw the interview with Matt, and he said the same things, plus the fact that he might not come back only if they gave him a big pay and I don't blame him much after they shafted him for all his hard work he put into COH.
A 47 year old man and I returned to Atlas Park, one final time to remember one of my heroes. White Knight II, just an alt, just a support character but the best there ever was. Wielding a longbow and a few healing powers. Sorry bud for taking so long.. My friends still laugh and smile when I tell them of your epic feats. You pretty much couldn't defeat a thing, but by god could you super-buff and heal a party of superheroes.
I wished we could have done some thing to save this game...and just when they were going to start work on COH #2, Great video by the way...I miss this game soo much it was a GREAT adventure.
You can go back into the game through icon 1.7. You can visit the titan network for that, it let's you walk around paragon city and load maps and enemies...you just can't fight, go online, level up, or interact. There are three spiritual successors being made by the community at the moment that I know of. The first is the Pheonix Project by Missing Worlds Media. The second is heroes and villains. The third, which I haven't heard much about, is valiance online.
Between this and that dinosaur picture making the rounds on facebook (Close your eyes and count to 10 just like when we play hide and seek), I'm just really heartbroken tonight...

be careful what you wish for, if they remake it, it wont be the same people that made the original, and it may not even have the same mechanics. but for some, its better than seeing it go.
yes its sad. it like test running icon 1.5 the entire drama is making me sick. I want to go back to my missions. Go back to my SG bases. I want it all back. I will take a single player solo verision at least for now.

I was 6 when this game came out, and this game was an outlet for me as well from bullying and such that i dealt with in my daily life

#SaveCOH Come on guys, We are heroes, We can get back the city we lost, WE CAN GET BACK PARAGON CITY!!!!
It's still hard to watch this video. I really miss COH.
I stayed until they shut the servers down. That was a very sad day.
I sobbed like a baby through this whole video my beard was drenched with tears by the end, I've never played a game I loved more than this one.
It's been nearly 3 years since I saw this video. Just re-watched. Just re-cried.
Absolutely beautiful. One of the best tributes.
*tries to hide the tears in eyes* I am not crying.....GODS I miss this game.
2016 and i still miss this game every day
Great video, makes me homesick.

Ooh man, the feels from this....
Imported the game from the US... played it from the start to the very end. Discovered it has returned and so i went back the beautiful game.

Great video and great song to go with it. I still miss this world...
Awesome tribute.
Well done, thanks for making me all sad again.

Nothing but ghosts of the past. Memories torn away. Dammit, this still makes me cry.
Is kind of crazy how a game can make you miss it and cry. This is the only game I could say I was emotionally attached too.
Reminds me of my travels through Galaxy in the last months. *crying*
Glad to see there are TWO efforts out now, City of TITANS and VALIANCE that are trying to bring the flavor of CoH back!
Ship of Heroes looks to be the lead contender now. Check out all the info on the Kickstarter.
i hadnt played COH since the early version i completly forgot about it. now i wish i could have played it more. i can remember some of the zones or at least the layout :D brings back so many good memories.
Right in the feels...
See you in Titan City.
See you in Titan City.
See you in Titan City.
I'll be there. If they ever get it running.

Paragon.. is so empty..
I haven't missed a game, as much as I've missed COX
Would love to have this game, and more importantly this community back in 1 place. I miss them both so much. Hope never dies though.
I wished we could have done some thing to save this game...and just when they were going to start work on COH #2, Great video by the way...I miss this game soo much it was a GREAT adventure.
Lost my CoH files in a recent Hard Drive Crash. Thanks for this.
Played from Issue 2. My first MMO. Know, NCSoft, you pissed off a lot of gamers that day you shut this game down.

I wanted to make a video like this. Didn't know where to start though. Kudos for this.
It is back
That was beautiful.
at 4:00 that really stung. Great video
Between this and that dinosaur picture making the rounds on facebook (Close your eyes and count to 10 just like when we play hide and seek), I'm just really heartbroken tonight...
Oh god, the feels...
That was beautifully done.. thank you. :: group hugs ::
Damnitt.. someone pass the tissues.
Damnit. DAMNIT! I'm a grown man and I bawled my eyes out watching this.
I miss this game dearly...
That was a very dark day in my life to see it end like that..
I miss my heroes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*sob... sniffle* That really got to me. I'm STILL very much missing the game. I have yet to delete from my hard drive!
be careful what you wish for, if they remake it, it wont be the same people that made the original, and it may not even have the same mechanics.
but for some, its better than seeing it go.
Are they gonna bring back this game or something like it?
Ditto.
Gah this video is so sad...!
its worse for me 7 /12 hears of service
yes its sad. it like test running icon 1.5 the entire drama is making me sick.
I want to go back to my missions. Go back to my SG bases. I want it all back.
I will take a single player solo verision at least for now.
