As you can imagine, it was a room full of people upset about the news. We bitched some, but we tried to stay positive and shared some of our favorite memories of the game. My fiancé and I were not alone in being a couple that played the game just in the room.<br /><br />The maddening thing is that the game was still pulling a profit and still had enough of a player base to be considered a major player in the US. I've been a paying member for 10 years now, and will miss it greatly.Oddballhttp://GunsCarsTech.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-52131453904725679622012-09-01T14:54:21.115-04:002012-09-01T14:54:21.115-04:00 There were many times I subscribed just to log in... There were many times I subscribed just to log in and chat with the friends I had made. Almost every friend I have online I either met in CoX, or was introduced by somebody I met in CoX. I will miss the game for nostalgic purposes, but I am also looking forward to the great community spreading out and bringing those positive aspects to other gaming communities.Roderick Neil Ballhttp://www.facebook.com/roderick.n.ballnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-35927189549494262262012-09-01T13:40:42.847-04:002012-09-01T13:40:42.847-04:00I do think it's time to do a server merge.

Company can make repetitive content fun! But if you're alone, after a while even the newest content starts to seem old. <br /><br />I think it's more a commentary on human nature than an indictment against MMOs.
