Have you guys already left City of Heroes?

[Logan Darklighter]

In my case, it's a combination of depression and not wanting to avoid burnout. I know I'm gonna want to blitz a bunch of things I haven't done yet, but for all that I love City of Heroes and its storytelling, I have to recognise that - and this is still true - the gameplay doesn't do much for me anymore. By which I mean the combat. The fact my chief 50s are IO'd to the gills exacerbates this problem. 

The other reason is heartbreak, because I actually feel sad and depressed when logged in now. It may not be a rational reaction, but there it is. It's still almost painful to play, and will be until there's more hope.

No, I completely understand what you mean about the heartbreak. Believe me, I do. I'm no tough guy. I've wept more in the last two weeks than I have in the past two years. Even the reveal of the Mass Effect 3 ending only made me angry. This hurts far more. I honestly feel like I'm losing a home. Like someone is bulldozing my house. With everything in it. (And in the case of the Legendary Base, that's almost literal. I was PROUD of the work I and Zilem Kain had done. (And where is he, anyway?)) 

But most of those tears were in the first 4-5 days for me. I've decided to buckle down and get things done. I figure I'll have time for more thorough mourning after Nov 30. And I know it's going to devastate me. Because I fully intend to be there to the last second. But for now, I'm shoving it aside. There's not anywhere near enough time for it now.

Admittedly this may not impact you, Logan, so much, given that like MatrixDragon/Matrix Dragon, DarkSeraphim, and MicroHue/Microshade, I operate in bizzaro alternate time.

Heh. It's less of an issue than you might think. I sometimes feel I was either born with a circadian rhythm 6 hours too long or that I was simply born on the wrong side of the globe. Believe me, you get on at a time where your comfortable, half the time I'm going to be still on. Or can be. 

I really need to look into getting an instant messenger program again. I haven't used one since the early days of ICQ.
