NCsoft Shutters Paragon Studios; City of Heroes to Close By Year End

[Rob Williams]

It's a sad day for the MMO world; NCsoft has announced the closure of Paragon Studios, effective immediately. Responsible for City of Heroes and all of its related expansions, Paragon was responsible for being the first to deliver a super hero MMO, and one that many consider to be unmatched by anything else out there. The game took the free-to-play route (with VIP option) last summer, and everything seemed kosher. But apparently not.

TBH I'm a little saddened to hear about this but it has lasted much longer then I thought it would have. RIP COH, you gave me my first true Super Hero MMO and I will never forget.

I agree, it's a pity that WoW will last longer than a game like this...

In honor of COH closing down, my two toons from it. RIP my friends.
