Well, if you ever had a fantasy of taking down bad guys and dawning a cool costume to hide your identity then the MMORPG City of Heroes was the game for you. Much like popular games such as World of Warcraft, City of Heroes offered you the opportunity to get online and team up with others to take on various challenges in an open environment. If this sounds like a cool concept, well, I am sorry to disappoint you by saying that come the end of the year it will be no more.

According to the latest news provided through NcSoft and Paragon Studios, further development of City of Heroes will cease by the end of 2012. This is sad news for me as I did enjoy creating different characters and busting heads of various monsters, crooks, and villians. It is especially sad since it is currently a free ride to battle in this world.

The silver lining of all of this is that according to the news Paragon Studios is looking to develop a whole new Superhero MMORPG and it is supposed to be awesome. We shall see.

You can still get into the fun by registering with NcSoft and downloading City of Heroes Freedom edition. I recommend it highly, and maybe I will fight by your side in the near future or if you decide to take the dark path and choose to be a villain I look forward to taking you down.

There is a mistake on the article:

"The silver lining of all of this is that according to the news Paragon Studios is looking to develop a whole new Superhero MMORPG and it is supposed to be awesome. We shall see."

This is not true, since NCsoft disbanded Paragon Studios, as you can read here:

"In a realignment of company focus and publishing support, NCsoft has made the decision to close Paragon Studios."
