Yes, as a private server but not likely to revive within the year and it won't be the same.
I expect it to look something like this:
4 servers online
200-300 users at peak hours, off hours number in the 40's
Ain't much but I'll take it. I still play the scthack PSO server despite the meager population of 100 or less at peak hours and various other shortcomings... -
(camera pans out to show a volcano fortress) Meanwhile at NCSoft HQ...
Taek-Jin the Tyrant: "We need to rub salt in their wounds. What do you propose, my dear?"
Sinister Song-yee: *holds up a baseball* "We buy out their baseball teams, bring them to Korea, and then... " *crushes baseball*
Taek-Jin the Tyrant:" Oh, you are a truly wicked woman!"
*evil laughing and champagne commence* -
Synchronized pop dance and the usual shenanigans I have with friends (if they can make it...)
Should negitiations fail...
Followed and proceeded by hot cocoa and rum. -
Quote:But PI doesn't have war walls, flying north spits you back out into Talos. Is there something I'm missing? Blueside navigation confuses the heck out of me.
Its an unused room under the PI arena gotta go out of the map. theres a hole in the north war wall, get through the hole run north off the map till you actually fall off and the run back along the botom till you under the arena and type /stuck and you'll end up here.
Shame really that they never used it , i really like it
EDIT: found the hole! For anyone looking for it, the hole is up in the NE corner of PI you have to jump up until you hit an invisible platform (if you aren't you get an "You cannot enter" prompt or get sent to Talos) then strafe left to fall through the hole, run along the "wall" to align yourself with the arena (makes it easier to do a straight run ahead) then turn and head north until you hit the drop-off then follow the above quoted stuff. -
Then take it to an AE, arena or base or keep it in team chat. You don't strip down or parade about in a flesh-colored g-string and pasties in public places and loudly go at it IRL, do you?
If you do... people in the vicinity as likely to troll, whip out cellphone cameras or call the cops. -
I suppose the income they sucker out of Perfect World players enables them to afford sustaining their other games...
-
Have you ever played Perfect World? PWI is HORRIBLE, their namesake game is a pay-to-win nightmare.
-You can shell out money for their cubigold and convert that into ingame currency
-You can BUY AN NPC TANK to run the dungeons for you
-Most items from the cash shop can't be bought individually, you have to buy a lottery box and hope you get it
-That lottery box you just spent $10 on can contain a level 1 potion instead of the sword mount you were after
-As a venomancer, if there's a rare pet you want you're ****** unless you buy an egg off the RMT campers or item mall
CO isn't like that...yet but I'm still wary of giving that company any money. -
My experience with CO... the costume creator is decent, the combat system is fun, story and community are extremely off-putting if you're not interested in being a campy DC style hero.
I luckily came into a supergroup of CoX players that are accepting of any allignment. Outside of that supergroup though, there is a lot of hostility towards people playing anything other than your run of the mill hero.
The only acceptable evil is MRP-flagged succubi, were-creatures and vampires. And that is MRP as in "I will ERP but saying MRP makes me seem like less of a *****" not "I am open to mature, non-sexual situations". -
my forum name is also my global. If its me, I'm sorry if I did something to upset you
Unless you played a werewolf biker dragon god or a certain someone that *pulls water into your lungs and turns it to ice, you cannot breathe and are dying* then you can get bent. A lot of good, kind people quit RP or the game altogether because of your petty antics and/or control issues. If there is any consolation I have from the game meeting a potential end, it is that either one of you lose this incarnation of your marysue characters.
That aside...
I will not miss the above mentioned dragon god werewolf biker or watery godmodder. Nor will I miss the OOC drama that came with being within 50 yards of them.
I will not miss the ERP solicitors (but it is a matter of time before I run into those types elsewhere... that's just how nature works)
I will not miss paying rent -
As much as the majority of us view them as scum that's more evil than the devil himself, any dirt found would likely be uninteresting.
Just a bunch of no-fun-allowed stiffs. -
To hell with it.

AGHHHHHH WRONG FORUM! >< but if you're interested...

I'm not a hero player, I'm not popular, I have ****** luck and even shittier drawing ability. -
Quote:Someone posted this in the "Don't give up!" thread. It definitely applies to what you've just said.NCSoft is well aware that they can make all of this go away if they sit down and negotiate nicely and let someone else buy/maintain CoH.
They assumed we would go away when they said "End of game", take their credit-on-another-game and go away quietly.
We did not.
They assumed we would go away when a week had passed.
We made more noise.
They assumed we would go away when two weeks had passed.
We are still making noise.
They assume we will go away if they give us real money back. Some people want to do that. But this is a game of Stare Down and they just blinked.
We need to start showing them that we are just more than a bunch of game-dweebs who don't know how to do anything but whine.
Go to CoH Titans Save Paragon. We have work for you.

Be the tree! Make NC move! -
Quote:That question...
Hugo Figures and Agent Gally. Were they ever going to be successful in liberating the Bane Spider network? If not, what ultimately happens to them?
If its anything like the characters they are an homage to... its a bad end. -
OP, please change the thread title.
The way you've titled this thread encourages way too much doom and gloom speculation and hampers motivation to save or preserve this game through other means.
Zwill's post addressed refunds past the shutdown date, VIP status and information we already know. Nothing more. -
Doesn't seem to be making a difference right now. I'm pretty dissatisfied with GW2 for a number of reasons (guilds in other games I play are all but dead because leadership ditched for that game, did not like the first one, possible correlation to CoH endtime...)
-
I wish they'd flip the VIP switch.
All my husband ever played was masterminds but his account expired and since billing is gone, he can't renew to play those masterminds either.
So much unresolved RP...
Can a non-VIP account access masterminds in beta? -
Quote:Better yet... we acquire a school bus... now bear with me here... we acquire a school bus, paint it up all CoH themey and assemble it ON THE ROOF.Who's up for a Costco run to buy pallets of TP?
Or we could go all Bond villainy and induce the North Koreans to invade the south. That should hurt NCSoft's bottom line.
Barring that... I'll pitch in for some eggs. TP and egging go hand in hand after all. -

no news = no news
Not necessarily good news. Talks may have failed and NC refused to release the IP but the devs can't tell us that because there may be an NDA. (though I don't fully understand if an NDA would work like that)
[/negative nancy]
I sure hope the silence is good news though. Still... it would be nice to hear from the devs. A hello or how that staff dinner was. Understandably, they are busy though. -
Quote:And what about the villains?"You get four women in high heeled power suits to put the fear of god into a mega corporation"
Honestly?
You realize, than being vindictive over poor management from a company is probably childish.
Then, you realize, being a hero doesn't have to be limited to a video game.
Go out and make a difference.
Should we do as OP would do? Rob banks? Kick puppies? Push old ladies into traffic? Start a game company, pick up a studio that created a much-loved game and dissolve the studio overnight despite its prosperity because it doesn't fit into our grand scheme?
Actually... that last one is far too evil for even the most cold-blooded of villains.
I tried it... aside from the character creation I HATE it
No villain faction to play
The "adoring public" is irritating as all hell. I'm sitting around talking with a friend and every few minutes some old man, fat man in sweats, candy kid or half-naked muscle guy comes running up to me about being so awesome for killing a couple bugs
The dingy and dirty areas are not so dingy and dirty in comparison to the Rogue Isles
Voice acting. My god, the voice acting. I had the misfortune of coming in during the anniversary and witnessing what I can only describe as Xuxa meets Jem meets Hatsune Miku...
The Red Banner Cult is a godawful stereotype... their leader can't pronounce Millennium and has that ridiculous cartoony Asian accent
It is saturday morning cartoons: the game. How I wish it were the good kind but its not -
Quote:I bet non-default clothes (or glorified lingerie if you're playing a female) are available through cash shop lottery only.Most modern MMO's allow players to customize their appearance independently from their gear.
It took me all of 30 seconds to find this with Google:

Quote:Even something like "We have no new news.", "Due to NDA we are unable to give you an update." or "No progress, but we are still trying." would be a boost.Does anyone have any "new news" about offers to buy or license the COH IP, or otherwise keep the game alive in some form?
I was hoping there would be more feedback from offers (such as Titan Network) and insights into what NCSoft is attempting to achieve.
The silence is a little demoralizing. -
Quote:But see... we had a choice here. You aren't forced to play as/not play as a catgirl/trap just to play a class. But if you want to, you can and still be whatever class you want to be.I've seen a fair number of catgirls and various scantily-clad characters running around CoH too, and I don't even play on Virtue. I understand that you folks are looking for reasons to hate Blade & Soul, but mind the hypocrisy.
EDIT: you also aren't limited to being what looks like a malnourished 6 year old. In fact, its damn near impossible to look like a child here.
