When it comes to an MMO, close friends know my name, if someone decides to spread it, I don't really give a damn.
I'm not going to speak to the "Is City of Heroes coming back?" point. It's a sore subject around here and I'm a babe in the woods. I know nothing concerning any of the Plan Z projects (past what is on their websites, which you have just as much access to) or the "New Efforts" talks (which I'm not a party of... if I signed an NDA, I couldn't even say that much) so I'm out of my element in that regard.
But I'm with Waffles. I partook in the thread when the COH Boards were around, even threw in a grainy photo. I'm not ever going to think that people will remember my real identity outside of a small handful who contact me more frequently than once per month. The rest of you, well... It's not hate, nor apathy, it's just the human attention span. The City of Heroes community at a point was in the 100s of thousands to million (perhaps millions) level of membership. Much like a real City, "here" is big enough for two people to be in close proximity for years (decades if NCSoft would have allowed it), maybe possible soulmates, potentially mutual nemeses, and yet never come into contact with each other based on probability alone.
If somebody knows my name, it doesn't matter. They can search Google for goofy college photos someone posted of me back in the early 2000's that I can't take down now, but that's about all they'll find.
Or they can find the wrong match of my name, and that's where things get entertaining. They can learn I'm either a college student on a Football scholarship in Louisiana, a preacher who just got married in Texas, or (if you ignore my middle initial) a woman in Minnesota (My first name is apparently a unisex name, so that's fun) who recently is pursuing Wicca after leaving a Jehovah's Witness church 25 years into her life.
All three of which is probably more interesting than my life currently is in any regard.
