I am going to have to go back and check out the posts from the last couple of days, but I have to throw in how sad I am to see this goes. I kept meaning to go back and try out the new poo poo and spend time with some old favorites but never got around to it.

I've made a few honest to God friends across the country from this game and echo the sentiments that there was no GS like CoH GS. All the rest loving sucked next to you guys.

I'll have some screenshots incoming some time soon. Busy with my girlfriend this weekend (and I'm sure many of you remember me playing with my now soon-to-be-ex-wife, so obviously my life has changed a bit since I started back in 2004), but I'll dig into the external hard drive to see if they're backed up there or if they're lost forever.

I'm going to have to log in to play my Red Blur Architect mission one last time before this thing goes dark if I can. I'm sadder about that going away than anything else in this game.

Geek,

I love your Red Blur arc. I will be sad about that too, and all the other awesome goon arcs going away. There was a lot of wasted potential in the MA, but drat if some great times didn't come out of it.

Also, this is @anachrodragon, and I'm going to say "thank you" again. My husband and I still love the freaking huge ink drawing you did for us of our two villian characters. It's got a permanent place of honor on our bedroom wall, and the fact that the game is going away just makes me appreciate it more.

Sorry to hear about your soon-to-be-ex-wife, but I hope you're still drawing. I want to buy your comics some day.

Awwww. I'd forgotten all about that piece, but I enjoyed the hell out of doing it.

I don't do much drawing other than posters for theater projects I've got going in my spare time, but that's just because it's so time consuming. Most of my creative energies go into singing or acting (or both, occasionally), but I'm fine with that.

You may still get to buy my comics someday, though. We'll see.

Don't be sad about the ex-wife. I'm certainly not.

The game is installed. One step closer to spending some time in there.

Time Travel: Not Even Once



okay maybe a few times


Man I thought CoH would always be around to come back to. :(

@Ziddar as I always have been, played as Fallen Betty for years and sporadically after that. I'll never forget all the antics pulled with goons here. From the amazing Goon Rangers to Stinky's best costumes, it'll never be the same.

Have some screenshots from the past:


Goon Rangers rocking out with Freakazoid


Victory dance from the longest Hydra trial ever. Gutsy Atom died about 10 times in a row by reviving, staggering about 3 feet, and dying again. Eventually he got far enough away to start reviving everyone else. Also perma-hasten on everyone.


He kept buffing us and ruining the shot.

These were all from about Summer 2005. I have lots more, but I'll just leave this final one:

CoH Goonsquad best Goonsquad.

Abroham, since the games closing can you finally reveal who you are or how you are able to acquire all the fabulous insider knowledge youve supplied us with over the willenium?


Also, chiming in to regret letting my VIP lapse a few weeks ago now.


Anyway, Ill miss this game and all the friends ive made along the way. Back when @Unemployed Guy was actually unemployed, and not working two jobs to support a wife and daughter guy. Too many names to list, but if anyone ever wants to play some steam games Im in CoXgoons group or http://steamcommunity.com/id/Brotherdon add me and we can reminisce over the golden age of super hero MMOs, or trade dick pics.

Ahhh, Goonbox. Parts of it still work, but with all of the changes they've made a lot of it is broken. Still great to have if you are trying to get some final playtime in. Just today I heard the meow mix car and cracked up. I forgot about that.

...and now with this final change, soon it won't work at all!

So I said a bit earlier in the thread that I'd never go over to Champions. I decided that was a bit unfair, cause I've never played the game or really even see how it plays (outside of derisive comments like "like Issue4-Era City Of Heroes probably") and that maybe I should look into it a bit before I just slam it down as a big "no"

Apparently, they're going to be giving players Mounts. Well, the modern-day version of mounts

I also really dig this bonus aura they gave out over July 4th
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO7yRsKM2Xs

Overall, for you guys that still really feel like you *have* to have your Dress Up Doll game (and I can't blame you, you only had it for the last 8 years) Champions is probably going to be the next best thing.
Hell I'm pretty sure they still have some old CoH sfx in the game (although I could be wrong about that)

I was in the middle of rebuilding it. Having Goons pose for me for the billboards and poo poo, all new sounds (except the glowie sound and GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE!") and doing a few tweaks here and there.

Another project shitcanned.

This was easily the best group of goons fuckin' around on an MMO or online game - period. Lots of laughs, lots of fun. Sucks that it had to end.
