Just, so sad.
I've been playing this since beta. I've had to take some time off from time to time, but I've always come back. I missed launch day only because my son was being born. (Best excuse for leaving a team ever--"I have to go, my wife just went into labor")
I've made so many friends here. People I've looked forward to playing and chatting with, even though I'd never even seen their face or met them in real life. We were brought together by a common love of comic book stories.
This was the best game --bar none-- on the market. Where else could you make a charecter that looked EXACTLY the way you wanted it too, instead of looking just like everyone else out there. I spent hours just reading other people's charecter bio's. This wasn't a game that told you what your character was--you told the game (and everyone else) you you were.
I'm going to miss all the friends I've made. I've been on Virtue since day 1, and been part of several great supergroups. To all my friends--go out and be the hero that we've been able to be for the past 8+ years. To all the devs--thank you for creating a world that inspired me to greater heights.
