A month late (I read at work and it’s been busy), but just wanted to say that GW2 has kitties. Big, scary kitties, but still kitties!

And GW2 just announced a Mac client! I haven’t tried it yet though. Maybe after I level in MoP I’ll try GW2.
That really does suck about CoH though. I never played it, but I understand a lot of people are upset it’s shutting down.

Well, there’s also the fact that I game on a Mac, and CoH was the only NCSoft title with a Mac client. So I’m pretty much left with just WoW for my MMO fix. Though I’ve been told that the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online will have a Mac version.

Re: Cryptic engine license – that theory has been satisfactorily debunked, by both the Paragon devs and Cryptic themselves.

I understand the desire punish NCSoft for closing down the City Of games, but please don’t punish ANet as well. They did a terrific job on GW2.

Been playing Wow like crazy since the patch, so much funner.

I was so burned out after WotLK that not only did I stop playing WoW, I’ve barely played anything else since. Portal 2 is pretty much the only game I’ve played through for quite a while.

You probably shouldn’t be too hard on NCSoft. Scuttlebutt is that the gaming engine was actually owned by Cryptic (who left to make Champions Online) and just licensed to NCSoft. … and that when the license expired, Cryptic may have simply declined to renew the license, or set the cost prohibitively high.

I had enjoyed CoX back in the day, but I got tired of it. … and CO never grabbed me the way CoX did. Part of it was the whole comic book motif. Part the balky costume designer. Part the play.

Been playing GW2 the last few days. It’s nice to have a game that feels fresh and entertaining. I have little interest in MoP, yes it fixes a lot of issues i had with the game, but most of it falls under to little to late. Blizzard just isn’t what it used to be.

I share your pain. 6 months and counting.

Just came back to WoW after cancelling my sub back in February, though I actually hadn’t played much since last September. I’m not a raider or much of a PvPer, and I got burned out just doing the same dailies over and over on six level 85 characters…

But I’m friends with another WoW player who suffers early-onset Alzheimer’s (he was profiled on WoW Insider a while back), and one of my 85s is in his guild to help him out now and then. I promised him I’d be back for MoP, so here I am.

That said, I am not, and will not play GW2 or any other NCSoft game since they’ve just rather abruptly pulled the rug out from under City of Heroes. I only just discovered CoH last September (a big part of the reason my WoW play decreased), and I’ve found myself more invested in my CoH characters and their stories than I ever got invested in my WoW characters. And now it’s all going away. “Mists of Pandaria” is appropriate, because I an a sad panda
