Superannuation noticed a trademark filing on April 1st by NCSoft for "City of Heroes 2." Now, I'm not a genius, but I think that would suggest that a sequel to the rather popular City of Heroes MMO is coming down the pipeline.
City of Heroes has had a pretty good run, having put out fifteen expansions since releasing in 2005. I remember being interested in the game before it released, even getting a friend of mine who rarely plays games to pick it up. Of course, I never played because I have deep seated fears of commitment.
Good times, though. I'm sure we'll hear an official announcement of the game from NCSoft in the not-too-distant future.

Four years and seven months. That's how long I was a paying subscriber for City of Heroes. Looking back, I enjoyed most, if not all, of my time with the game. I've forged and strengthened relationships within the community that I never thought I would. City of Heroes is the best MMORPG I have ever played, and I am very sad to see it go.
Farewell, City of Heroes.
