Sunset
From Paragon Wiki Archive
Overview
Sunset is the euphemism NCsoft used for the closure of City of Heroes and the firing of nearly all Paragon Studios employees.
The sunsetting process was announced on August 31, 2012, also known to the community as Black Friday, coinciding with the elimination of all job positions but two community managers (Zwillinger, who left a few weeks later, and Hit Streak). Paragon Studios employees let go were required to clean out their cubes and vacate the premises that day.
The actual sunset, when the servers were brought down one by one, happened on November 30. The Beta Server was the last to shut off just after midnight, December 1, 2012. City of Heroes was officially closed.
