Or maybe the bottom line is that advancement in CoH was more about the achievement and reaching the goal than the journey. Because I confess I am utterly uninterested in hopping onto CoH and doing any gameplay. Which I feel like a kick in the gut whenever an opportunity that would have previously been, “Hey, I’ve got some time, maybe I’ll do a bit of CoH” or “Hey, Honey, want to do some Game?” comes up.
I have gone in to take some character screencaps, and I want to do a server-by-server “In Memorium” set of posts. But right now — I can’t bring myself to go in and play with any of these people who will be evaporating in 2+ months.
