I just want you guys to know your work was highly appreciated. Your set design philosophy was fresh and modern, it was what this game needed.

It's a shame so much work will never get to see the light of day, not even to beta.

I don't want to ignore anyone else, everyone did great in Paragon Studios, but the power guys tend to get the most hate due to how sometimes they "adjust" stuff downwards.

Anyways, my regards to both of you.

You guys were fantastic.


Here is to Titan Weapons, Street Justice, Martial Combat, Water Blast, Bio Armor, Rad Melee, Rad Armor, Psionic Melee and so much much more.

Cryptic Studios kept the original rights and engine when they separated from NCSoft and sold a 5-year licence to the company. Those 5 years are now up, and since that time Cryptic Studios has developed Champions Online, been bought out by Atari, which was itself bought out by Perfect World. Seeing how Perfect World is another Korean Developer with a Super Hero MMO of its own, it clearly doesn't want competition. Therefore, they will not sell the renewal licence to NCSoft or have made the licence fees too high for profitability.

Now that this is out of the way, I want to thank everyone I have ever had the pleasure of playing with in City of Heroes. I grew up with the game and matured greatly because of your support. You defined much of who I am today. I hope you all find happiness down the road and never stop believing in your Justice.

As if they think the devs are stupid enough to believe that if these clowns are getting everything they want for free they'll turn around and spend money on stuff they don't want.
