The fight for CO's heart

This is it.
The final countdown.
The secret war.
The final crisis.
I've been playing this game since beta (don't let my forum sign up fool you, I had to fuse my old account to a newer PW one) and this game brought me so many joys.
I made friends with this MMO.
I actually felt like I belonged somewhere in it.
I had joy at every turn, every alt, every trial, every interaction. For a while, Champions Online was my favorite game. I wrote a review of it, I showed it to friends. I played as a gold member. I returned as silver. I played it with all my heart.
Until it stagnated.
For all the love and friends I had, I couldn't just justify playing it. It made no sense to me. I had played for so long, the game was like a memory to me even as I logged in.
This September, Cryptic North, you have my heart on your hands.
Will you make me love CO again? Can you provide me with the joy I once felt for this game?
I hope you do. Because I couldn't handle another dud.
Almost all of your past events, they felt lacking. They were over before I could sink my teeth into them. They had no promise, no staying power. It was like coming to visit your sick friend and learning his sickness got worse; You have fun together but you worry for him.
Rekindle my passion for CO.
Make me wish to save the world again.
I beg of you.
I'll see you in September.

This content better damn well be f***ing amazing.
...For about 10 minutes to get something to eat. :x
Good for you announcing you are leaving the game like that.... Productive stuff. <_<
Oh... Okay.
So I think I worked out what the thread is about, you aren't "feeling it" anymore in CO but you are hoping this new update will renew that FEEL you once had? Well don't expect too much of a miracle of amazing new content as CN isn't exactly a gigantic team or 10 armed game designers. It's a step in the right direction though.

Or what? You'll make a pouty boo boo face while playing it? Me too, but there's no need for swearing u3u

And if that happens to be around September 4, we'll even have some new stuff for you to do!
No need to get all dramatic and Lifetime-drama about it all, though.

Jon stop being silly. Haven't you read the threads? We're all being forced to play this game, we can't just stop... that would be craaaaazy `w`

actually in case of some like me its the exact opposite. I might well have kept dabbling in this game over the long content drought had they not lost all I had invested into this game time and money wise and then refused to make it right.
Do stop acting like every hater on the boards hates with no justification. In my book a company that takes your money then says sorry that stuff you bought we kind of sorta of lost and you cant expect any form of recompense is not a good company that cares about its customers.
Until that which was lost is restored, no quarter is given, no mercy shown, no tolerance allowed.
PWE doesnt want me to like them, they clearly want my hate and anger. Clearly PWE has more in common with a Sith Lord then a noble jedi.
Really, you ought to move on with your life. You're wasting it sitting around spreading your hate on a forum for a game you have no interest in. You need a better hobby.

I actually play CO on and off since release, went mostly on the first years, but ever since the great content drought it was mostly off.
This year I logged like, three times, to do some FoxBat con.
I'm kinda confused why you and so many assumed this is "I'm quitting" thread or something of the like, when it was more like "Ok you got my attention cryptic, please make me happy again this september".
If anything, this is more like "I'm returning" to "I'm quitting". But I never really did quit.
I actually check 5 times per week the update section of both this site and massively. CO is something I love.
EDIT 1: I freaking love you Brou
EDIT 2: What do you mean I shouldn't be dramatic about it? Melodrama is like the number 2 reason I play this game.
The melodrama made your "I'll see you September" come off as implying "and you better impress me or I'll quit". That's basically the influence that your "final countdown" thing had on the tone of your post...like it's a big deal if you stop playing or something.
If you had dropped the poetry and just said "I'm excited for the new content, I hope it's great!" then your message would have been much clearer.
I get the feeling quite a lot of happy loyal CO players don't play every day... because that's just the kind of game it is. Not playing a game for a while isn't a big deal... in fact, it's quite normal; after all, I can't play all the games I own everyday.

I think we're all kinda on eggshells right now until it hits pts. You're right, this is probably their best chance to wow the community and prove that they're capable of more than an alert rotation/event grind company. I will say that they're hitting a lot of good notes (imo), though. I just hope people are being realistic about this, it's not huge content. It's new and it's promising, but I wouldn't expect it to be earth shattering. What I'm hoping for is just solid fun, and a good story. Another quality piece woven into the quilt that is the CO experience.
RIP Caine
The thing I'm most excited about, myself, is the method they're using to introduce the content. Giving us a reason to play an Archetype so we can unlock more freeform powers sounds really good, and unless the character is totally unplayable (and tbh, it doesn't take much to make a character playable here with how easily soloable the content is) it sounds like it'll be great fun.
RIP Caine
Screw you, I'm being unrealistic and imagining all sorts of the most hype things u3u
Then again I'm much better at handling disappointment than most o3o

"Mother, May I Sleep With Mechanon"
Act I, Scene 1...
This Mechanon bit better be AP or Comic worthy. Something more epic than Resistance. Its Mechanon's reveal for crying out loud. It deserves it. We've deserved it since Comics were abandoned before they were even given a chance to see the benefit.
This is a nice way of thinking about this update, though the new zone thingie kinda makes me think it can be sightly more. They did mention daily-like quests didn't they?
