What a fantastic week to be an MMO player. Games are closed all the time, sometimes rather big games (was the last major closure Star Wars Galaxies? I feel it might have been), but rarely do the players feel so affected by the announcement that they work so hard to save the world they’ve come to love so much. Rarely do the fans care enough to attempt to push the decision to turn off the servers, to change minds and potentially save everything they’ve been a part of for years and years and years.This week, with the announcement that MMO-favourite City of Heroes will be shut down at the end of November, we’ve seen just how invested people can become in a world. Will the protest work? Is there any way of saving City of Heroes? Is it fair to just close a game that people love so much? They’re all important questions and the answers might change the face of the MMO world forever.
