It may have some rough spots, but by and large, it’s still beautiful today. And interesting to explore in 2018, apparently! Miol sent this one...
The sudden announcement on Friday that Just Survive was being shuttered wasn’t exactly welcome, but it also wasn’t surprising either. Splitting the games always seemed like it meant a death knell for the title; it just took a little while longer for it to actually happen.

It’s always easy to look back at the making of City of Heroes and its first year with a memory tinted toward the good and away from the bad.
