I compare(d) it to: Sending a German company that ceases a product a bunch of Yellow Stars of David with the word MURDERER wrote on them.

Quote:Yeah, the current state of that version of Plan Z is less than ideal, and there's growing discontent and dismay at its tone and driection among normal CoH players - umless that changes, then I think it's likely that a proper attempt at a worthy spiritual successor to CoH will be made after December 1st, while the current version of Plan Z drifts off to become whatever it is the people running it want it to be.Originally Posted by Evil_Legacy
Here, we got a side developing a game, but cant even be open minded enough to respect the other side ideas and views. How the hell are they going to deal with critizism about their hard work, other people ideas, and stuff that may not come from the exact inner circle? People talk about how disconnected the devs are in WoW, and CO are but looks like it may be the same for the new game that is being developed. Are they truely building a game for the players or building it as their own personal playground that they want to show off? WoW can get away with that type of strategy because it's huge now, and it wasnt known for that. Now COX was known for that, a unique thing in the gaming world, and from some posts, it is part of what kept people playing and why they continued to put their heart soul blood tears ideas into it. And this game lead by the closed minded is suppose to be the replacement of this game?

They had a lot of ideas that were changing on a regular basis.

They all add up

If somebody was to buy out the game after it had closed down, how long does everybody think the game would remain offline before they re-launched it?
Just wondering what kind of timeframe people were thinking of here. -

Man, you're going to be crushed the hardest come December 1st.

We can hope for a little better than that

Unfortunately... it is. CoH ain't coming back.

Plus - like I have said: If Titan is involved that is an absolute deal breaker for me.

More from Mercedes Lackey - some facts, some guesswork:
Quote:Her source also believes that NCsoft will consider a sale.I've got this confirmed.
The asking price for City will drop exponentially from the reported 80 million when it closes. I have the feeling that the 80 million actually included an exponential amount of padding to deal with those chimerical "legal issues"--after twice losing the Garriott case, I speculate they wanted enough in the bank to pay out without hurting. Once it's closed, all those issues go away, and the price goes to something reasonable.
Sale will include the IP and code. The game engine was bought outright from Cryptic when NCSoft bought City (I have this from another impeccable source who was working at Cryptic when the sale happened).
What is NOT known is whether account and character data are going to be preserved. No one knows this except NCSoft. Archiving your characters via Sentinel + might prove the only way to restore them--I can only say that one would hope that in the event that character data is deleted, a new owner would see the wisdom of doing a one-time restore for those that have done so, but that will depend on the generosity of a new owner. -

A good question to ask is, "Why is Brian Clayton & whoever else having in-depth discussions with VV when he / they know she's going to post up the summaries in the Titan Network forums?".
Or: why leak this kind of information?

The price would be in the millions.

Quote:It's quite possible to do bothOriginally Posted by Evil_Legacy
So before you ask about why people waste their time on one side, look at the other side and question why are they wasting their time here instead of actually saving something instead of just talking about it?

Quote:That's pretty much changed now - the TORtanic is possibly the last major sub-only game, unless Blizzard take a chance with their established player base and go for a sub-only model for their next MMO.Originally Posted by JKedan
Well, there was that whole 'Freedom' initiative. It's pretty widely accepted in the industry that subscription games don't go F2P unless they have to.

Quote:Well, I'd assume it'd be available from December 1st - but we still have 2 rather large hurdles - getting NCsoft to sell, and then getting them to agree to a reasonable price.Originally Posted by Pogothulu
So, is their a tentative date to when the IP, etc. can be sold?

You should get a badge for all that
