apparently the closing of coh was deeply distressing to members. have you found solace on any other mmgpodrhgd (im not sure of the lettering but you know what i mean). i tried second life for a while but never got into it. i do like a bit of skyrim so ...[text shortened]... it will just be full of dudes trying to cyber hump anything that moves...........or doesnt move.
Yes, the announcement of the end of CoH came as a bolt of lighting out of the blue. What a shock. We thought NCSoft was doing okay, they were just about to release GuildWars 2, and then blam, "we're closing, all you people who have played for 8 years can just suck it". We had built a real community of players that was way better than in any MMO I've played, before or since. There's still talk of trying to bring it back, probably through another company, but I'm pretty sure NCSoft doesn't even want to sell the IP, for whatever reason. I find my online fix now through WoW, I'm thoroughly invested there now with 2 characters at max level and 3 or 4 more getting close. I'd love to find something new to try. I've heard of Skyrim but never played it, I might give that a try.
Yeah, no, Second Life is full of these ERP types and too many entrepreneurs who are trying to make a buck. WoW does have a lot of women playing, even though shows like that one episode of South Park show a different 'reality'. WoW does have a lot of people who think playing a game is "srs bsns", I don't want a second job, I just want a cool game I can get into.
