Wow. Guess I'll be living on beta until the apocalypse.

I just want somewheres where [maybe] I can re-home some of my characters in another universe, if I should need to.
The way around that would be for the players to hold the cord.Quote:This issue is, in fact, perhaps the greatest inherent weakness of MMOs: someone besides you is holding the cord, and they can pull the plug on you literally at any moment. Not a happy-inducing thought. -

Ok so our hopes fade away.
No way to save game, studio is gone for good, no way to release code, SOE or another publisher is not interested.
We are all doomed.
Dang it!

There's a new unofficial forum being set up, but there's also a possibility that the Titan network will expand their forums to take in the community.

Some amazing reads to be had! I wonder though, is there a way to get the up-to-date version of the files? I'd love to have a read through those regarding everything that's happened in the game later (ouroboros, incarnates, and what is Prometheus' agenda and employer? stuff like that) and how the storylines progressed and what is really going on behind the scenes, the stuff we never got to know about.
The info in this thread has also been used as part of the planned CoH tabletop game, so it will have been spread around to more people than the current stuff, which is probably only fully known by Crosscheck, War Witch, Positron, Protean, Dr. Aeon and Viridian. -
Even if that's correct, any semi-professional company would be aware of cultural differences, and create variations on their mission statement for their various markets, not just for their customers, but for any potential investors.

If the entire player base donated $1 a person, I think they'd have somewhere in the area of $9,000,000.00 give or take a few thousand. I'm sure that most of the player base could afford a little more than $1 too.
The most players CoH has ever had was 200k+ around the launch of CoV.
Any donation plan is going to need quite a bit more than just 1 dollar per player. -
Just so you know, no matter what NCSoft does to try and kill CoH, there will be a player funded and run attempt to create some kind of online superhero experience, even if it just starts off as a shared virtual space for avatars and a chat program.

anyways, if CoH and CoV are reinstated I will definitely supply the devs with the whip melee demo I've been working on.

Taking those statements literally is assinine.
They don't have the power to make the whole world happy, but they do have the power to make the thousands of CoH fans happy. -
Quote:But still be polite about it - just ask them how their refusal to sell CoH fits in with their goal of making everybody happy.Originally Posted by Winterminal
Agreed. Using someone else's words in a counter-argument, especially words so publicly placed, is excellent leverage.

The stuff on that page needs to be used in any communcation with NCSoft.

Quote:The engine can still be sold with the game - the only thing they're saying is that it can't be released separately.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
And there's the money shot.

Just remember that this is still the same day and time slot as the regular coffee talks - so I don't think that we should read things into this.

If there isn't Black Pebble and nerf guns and David drawing people taking bubble baths in really shallow tubs I'm gonna be disappointed.

Quote:It could also just be a "normal" coffee talk, where they update us on what's going on at the studio and in the community, so there might not be anything new in it, and it'll be more of a round up of player reaction to the announcement.Originally Posted by vulpish_one
First of all, I apologize if someone has beaten me to starting a thread on this.
Rumor is that there is going to be a session on TwitchTV starting at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time. For reference, at the time of writing, that is in just under two hours. Interested parties can go here:
http://www.twitch.tv/paragonstudios
I'll be in class (I'm technically "studying" now), so I won't be there, but I hope it's good news!
I'd also suggest that as many people as possible go to the video page during the broadcast, even if they don't have time to watch ány it - if there are enough viewers, it'll appear live on the Twitch front page as a high-view video, which could help us to spread the word. -

I want everyone to please temper their expectations with the word "discussions". Please, don't take this to mean more than it does, at this point in time.

Agreed. Anyone know if they've considered doing a KickStarter?

Quote:There's a reason why we're trying to co-ordinate everything through one site, why we're planning a press release tomorrow, and why we're urging people to keep a lid on the "NCSoft iz teh suxorz!!11" stuff.Originally Posted by Obsidian_Light
It could also be our downfall if we're not objective about what we're wanting. You don't bad-mouth people publicly, especially to reporters, because THEN it becomes set in stone, and our cause could get ugly quickly.
I guess this is where I take on a maternal role and reiterate everything our parents EVER told us with the one phrase we all got tired of hearing...

Who's handling the PR for the release?
