Quote:Emotional attachments? To your pastime? A fictional, virtual pastime of silliness?Originally Posted by BlueBattler
I have to admit on a certain level I wonder if NCSoft did some damage to the whole MMO concept with their decision to cancel COH so abruptly ... at least in the Western Markets.
Personally, I can't see myself ever getting as emotionally attached to another MMO as I am to COH. Not because there isn't a game out there that is-- or won't be someday-- that's just as entertaining and fun as COH but because having been burned by such an unexpected closure-- one that not even the Devs knew was coming-- I can't see myself be willing to invest as much time and money in another game like I did COH.
With MMOs basically gong to a FTP micro-transaction based economy, they are to a larger degree than before more dependent on customer loyalty. When they shut down such a seemingly healthy game, they didn't just affect the COH customer ... they also affected the other players of other games who read about it. Will the DC Online fan or the Champions Fan-- or the fan of any MMO that isn't WOW-- now think twice about spending $10, $20, $50 or $100.00 on a costume or pet or powerset knowing that even if their game seems healthy right now it could wind up on the chopping block at any time?
To be sure, there are many people who are just MMO fans. When a given game shuts down, they just move on to another-- or never spend more than a few months or any given game-- but there's also the long term "been here since beta" fans of every game. How many of THOSE fans are going to cut back their financial or emotional involvement in a game because of what's happened to COH?
I don't know. There may not be any effect at all, but it is something I've pondered lately.
What planet are you from?
We here on planet Jyrkth laugh at puny, infantile fools that have emotional attachments to such things.
Business must cater to the most fickle and unattached customers as possible, for that is what our calculations tell us is the most extreme optimal income glory.
Only children with dolls and baseball cards get such feeble attachments!
And sports enthusiasts...
And television watchers...
And movie watchers...
And book readers...
And coin collectors...
And in politics and religions and pie-making contests...
And wickers... don't ever get in the way of someone making a wicker-basket.
Hehe, every cold move such as this negatively affects the market and the potential (and former) customers.
Unfortunately, this is a market that is continually proving that they don't want such customers. They want the crash and burn customers. The locusts... swarm in, destroy and leave. Only... they all think they can somehow stop them from leaving and/or continue to attract a consistent amount of new locusts. None of them have been able to do that so far though... And they all keep scratching their heads as to why they're not more successful.

Everyone got the zone easy. Guesses went all over the place with the puzzle solve.
First to get the right answer was Llydia!
Congratz!
1. I am in Steel Canyon
2. Kheldarn (forumite) Kheldian - Ian + Darning (the type of needle) - Ing (the bank with that logo)
Well that is all for tonight. No more in game events planned.
There may be a few puzzles yet during the week as there are a couple artists who's schedules are uncertain. If they commit a prize yet I will come up with a puzzle to give it away. If not thanks everyone one who participated.
P.S. There is still one more "guess the number and win" Pirate Cashoo bust + Xenophage colors going up yet in the 606. It will run overnight and I will announce the winner tomorrow.
Goodnight!
Congratulations, Llydia!
And thank you a ton, CR. Fantastic job on these puzzles and doing all of this! -
LOL, okay, I had to follow suit with Llydia's approach...
32 it is!

It's not like it's a bad thing to check every underline.

I always hover my mouse over any and every underlined word(s) in other people's posts on the forums.
Even when I know and understand that the intent was simply to underline and not link to anything... I just have to check!!!
