If they are going to have a billion darlek show up everytime, they should recton time lords again - rani, romana etc..
    Are........are you serious with this post?????

    There's the general petition (up to 16k+ last I checked) and the petition to open source the game engine (which will never happen). Which is why I don't understand the need to make multiple threads about it.

    but if you do nothing, there will be no result.
    I'm not suggesting doing nothing but feel free to keep completely misreading me like the OP.

    The Master was always insane.

    As for superhero movie villains that are insane? Let's see:
    • Green Goblin
    • Joker
    • Doctor Octopus (canonically the explosion drove him nuts, in the movie the AI of his arms did)
    • Venom
    • David Banner
    • Red Skull (was gonna put him under "sane" but apart from being a Nazi he was an actual certified nutjob)
    Mind you, one does need to be pretty unhinged to do what most of the following characters have done, but I wouldn't consider any of the following villains properly insane:
    • Sandman
    • Magneto and the Brotherhood (Mystique, etc.)
    • Abomination
    • Loki
    • Ra's al Ghul
    • Scarecrow (being driven temporarily mad doesn't count)
    • Bane
    • [SPOILER FOR TDKR]
    • Kingpin
    • Lex Luthor
    • Zod
    • Doctor Doom (varies by interpretation but Julian mcMahon's wasn't even close to insane)
    • Silver Surfer
    • Galactus
    • Obidiah Stane/Iron Monger
    • Whiplash
    I'm sure I've left some out but I trust I've made my point.

Only a couple of early MMOs kept their entire development staff: World of Warcraft, EVE Online, Guild Wars, and Runequest. All of them are thriving.

    The Freem Fifteen did amazing work with what little resources they had. No more time and money than they had to invest in it, Croatoa may be the single most impressive engineering achievement in MMO history. But by the time they got reinforcements, the game's numbers had fallen below the point of no return.
    Completely ignoring the fact that the game has thrived for nearly 7 years since that happened. Do you really think NCSoft wouldn't have pulled the plug if the game's population was twice what it actually is? We would still be their smallest game, their only game with no presence in Korea, and the most readily sacrificed.

    CoH jumped the shark when NCSoft canceled it. Even if all the efforts that are being made save it from going away completely succeed, it will eternally remain an echo of what it was becoming and what it might have been.
  11. I was just thinking, Soloman reminded me a lot of Sharaz Jek from The Caves of Androzani, in terms of creepiness anyway.

    Realistic != negative. The last reported population numbers for the game (admittedly dating back to 2009) put us at 50-60k subscribers. Post-Freedom this becomes a much harder figure to gauge since now people can (or could ) come and go as they please and even still pay money without having an active sub, but I really doubt we've returned to anything near pre-CoV levels given how old the game is.

    This is actually a positive observation since it means a larger proportion of the game population has signed the petition than Adelante was suggesting, which means it should have more of an impact.

    Believe in sunshine and rainbows all you want but it doesn't do anyone any good to raise expectations beyond what can realistically be expected. So quit trolling.
  13. Pretty sure I found my Mr. Science at 45-46 seconds in, black & blue tights(Metallic actually)/helmet on the far left, very close to the front. Love it.

    This is just awesome.

    And apparently still isn't.
  16. Couldn't find the Imperial one, those instructions are not very helpful at all. I did manage to find the Nova one, but after counting out to 100 PPD (based on what the counter was when I found it), nothing happened and now the counter is gone.

    I should also add, there's no WAY the trigger point is one normal jump height up, I had to use Ninja Run just to get enough height to trigger it.

Instead it's just a throwaway line that means nothing.
    Throwaway lines never mean "nothing" on Doctor Who.

    It might be akin to:
    "Wow, this fly is annoying the heck out of me. Let me open the door to let him out."
    "Oh. In comes another fly. I better keep the door open to let them both out."

    I don't have any problem with this thread, it's all the other ones he posted at the exact same time.

    This x infinity. There's at least two or three instances of this thread (inclusive) with posts in them, that's just diluting the message.
  22. NCSoft would have to be literally insane to continue with their current plans regarding City of Heroes at this point. For that reason I am not overly hopeful...
