Paragon Studios and City of Heroes shutting down.

Sad news, everyone!
From: http://na.cityofheroes.com/en/news/news ... nk_you.php

In a realignment of company focus and publishing support, NCsoft has made the decision to close Paragon Studios. Effective immediately, all development on City of Heroes will cease and we will begin preparations to sunset the world's first, and best, Super Hero MMORPG before the end of the year. As part of this, all recurring subscription billing and Paragon Market purchasing will be discontinued effective immediately. We will have more information regarding a detailed timeline for the cessation of services and what you can expect in game in the coming weeks.

Might see about downloading the game for one last fling...

Shame. Had an account for back in 2005, but lost interest shortly after Villains came out. I do remember a very friendly and helpful community, my Fire/Devices blaster running around, collecting badges and attempting to help with giant monsters.
