If the current “Save CoH” petition with over 20,000 signatures represents all currently paying players, that could potentially mean an income of over $3,600,000 per year. I don’t know exactly how much money, but I do know City of Heroes was earning more than NCSoft’s other games (Lineage II, Aion, and Guild Wars). That said, most people who were VIP members before Free-To-Play released have maintained their VIP membership, and many who started as Free-To-Play players ended up buying VIP subscriptions, so City of Heroes was still pulling in money when NCSoft announced the November 30th closure date unexpectedly on August 31st. While there is a free-to-play option within the game, it does not allow for the complete game experience–you must be VIP, or paying about $15 a month, to experience the full game. Many people are under the impression that City of Heroes transformed into a completely “free-to-play” game within the last year.

Many who are outside the recent City of Heroes hoopla may not understand why some players are kicking up such a fuss.
