City Of Heroes To Host Going-Away Bash

CuppaJo, coordinator for City of Heroes/Villains is leaving after two years. The following statement was issued:

“To say thank you to everyone who has made my last two years in City of Heroes and Villains so great we are throwing a huge party on the Test Server, September 1st [2006] from 12pm to 12 am Central time!“

W00T Radio will feature a live broadcast during the day, and DJ Jester and CuppaJo will be on air. It is recommended that those planning to participate download and install the Test Server ahead of time, and use the “Copy Character Tool” for each character they want to bring along.

Some of the events planned include a coffee chat in Pocket D, a Java Rumble where you can take on CuppaJo himself, a Victory Dance for Lord Recluse (who is NOT sorry to see CuppaJo’s departure), a Coffee-Themed Cloning Contest, a Party of Doom Costume Party and an ongoing CuppaCode deciphering contest.

In case you missed it, here’s CuppaJo’s farewell address:

“It is my sad duty to inform everyone that August will be my last month with City of Heroes and City of Villains.

“I am taking over community management of Tabula Rasa full-time as of Sept. 1st. Cricket will be your primary community person when Sept. 1 rolls around and I will no longer accept PMs as of that date.

“I just wanted to take a second and thank everyone for all their support and kind words over the last two years. Even in the darkest hours I could always count on there being a few bright posts, emails or PMs in my inbox. These kept me going more than coffee ever could and they always brought a smile to my face.

“I also want to thank everyone who has ever created well thought out, constructive post/PM. I know bugs or other game issues can be frustrating at times, but a community person’s best friend is the player who takes that little extra step to research and document their issue while keeping it about the issue, and not about Statesman’s momma.

“Special thank you’s to all the staff both here at NCsoft and at Cryptic for all your hard work, for answering questions and for listening to community concerns. Staff may not always agree – but they always listen.

“Finally, thanks to you – the community. This has been a great community to work for and be a part of for the last two years and it’s very hard leaving such a wonderful group of people. You are so intelligent, passionate, creative, funny and charming that it amazes me every day. And despite how it may appear on the surface sometimes – you all care for each other deeply and are always ready to lend a helping hand to those less fortunate. You are true heroes and there is no Paragon City without you. It has been my honor to serve you.”
