Of course ...

... I might have to log in with a couple of characters to the new Winter Event, live today, in order to pick up a "Gifted" badge ...

So ...

I think -- as may be blindingly obvious to most folks still hanging out here, waiting for me to post -- that it's over.

Yeah.  I think I'm done, mostly, with CoX. Mostly.

It's not anything the game has done.  Indeed, the most recent Issues have been great -- faboo content, wonderful character customizations, etc.  Yeah, the whole crafting bit left me cold, but that's minor.  The game is, I declare, better than ever.

But it just doesn't move me, any more.  I don't feel any desire to go out there and pound on the same (or even different) bad guys any more (or good guys, for the few characters I have over in the CoV side of things).  I'm not even feeling the burn to duo up with My Favorite Player, which irks me greatly, but there it is.  We're not talking "I no longer obsess all day waiting to get home so I can play CoH."  We're talking "Playing CoH no longer crosses my mind as something I feel like doing right now."

So now what?

Well, I'm not canceling my account yet.  There may still be hope, or the occasional impulse to play.  Margie's said the duo door is always open ...

I do want to do a lot of screen caps and notes on the stable of characters I've developed.  I have a nascent idea for a super-hero novel, and that's all grist for the mill.

It's possible I'll eventually "migrate" over to another MMORPG (hopefully with Margie).  If so, it would most likely be LOTRO (for a variety of reasons) -- but, at the moment, I'm not feeling any sort of MMO drive, so don't expect anything soon.

The general ennui extends to this site, alas.  Been a while since I've updated, and I'm falling far behind on keeping up on red-name posts and the like.  If something happens to attract my attention, I'll post it here, so if you've an interest, I recommend either keeping me on an RSS feed or using the FeedBurner e-mail subscription, so you get notification at such time as something more shows up here.

It's been a great run.  City of Heroes/Villains was and is a faboo game -- and for all those still actively in the fray ... give those bad guys a good kick for me.  :-)  Perhaps I'll see you again when both of us least expect ...
