    Clearly they do check the content and if one slips through the net then I'm sure some reportage would get NCSoft slapped.

    It's a sleazy game - it's to be expected.

    Market it for what it is. Let it tank on its own merits.
    It doesn't hurt to give it a little push in the right direction though

    Actually, I'd be more ok (still not buying it or any NCSoft product) with it if they'd just market it as an H game. Cheesing the rating system just makes it even more sleezy.
    NCSoft is quite vulnerable on the whole Boobs and Shame front - it's a good angle of attack to hurt them.

    Upsetting the perverted fantasies of misogynistic pedophiles isn't really that bad a thing to do.

The game is destined for an M rating.
    T for teen makes more sense, as that's the upper age limit their core audience likes their females to be.

    Those devs were already using it when they designed that thing.

    Combining Titans

    The best place for Zeus Titans is around the edge of the Sunken Road section of the RWZ that's furthest from the mothership.

    From what I get this law would only benefit the consumer which would make the monthly subscription basically mean life time access to the game even if it's hurts the company that made the game in the first place. So why would companies want to make games under those conditions?
    There could be a get-out clause for the company, that allowed them to sell the game if they were no longer interested in it, or to release it as opensource for the players to see if they could make something of it.
  9. We'll be hearing about their "next great adventure" very soon, probably tomorrow.

    If you honestly think Massively or Joystiq are going to state such things in an article you are severely misinformed. None of the mainstream gaming media outlets are going to say such things...sorry to burst your bubble but they aren't into promoting/publishing hate...they are into promoting games. If you think a few hundred people on twitter yelling @NCSoft lolwildstar is going to be an effective smear campaign...I point you to the success of a lil hashtag known as: #savecoh and remind you November 30, 2012 is getting closer every day.
    Comment bombing articles works just as well

  12. Wildstar is quite a vulnerable target to a negative campaign about NCSoft - as it's not been published yet, they're lacking player or press reviews to counter the negativity.

  14. You should still until the 30th - you never know what might happen.
  15. What about the swampy area of First Ward/Night Ward?
  16. It's better to wait and see what happens in the next month or so, and then we can really go to town if NCSoft continues to be unreasonable - we've still got over 4 weeks to change the situation.

    Unfortunately, they're tainted by association, so they're going to feel the impact too.
  18. It's nothing to what their social pages will get if things don't change by December 1st

    We can blame Nexon

    Grab a Unity3D license, get some one good at networking code and get to work.
    Plan Z is for us to attempt to create some kind of player made and sun online superhero experience as a new home for our unique community - some early work for it has been going on since pretty soon after the closure announcement.

    I wonder what would happen to City of Heroes should that happen...
    The CoH IP would be given to one or more of the creditors, who could be open to the idea of selling it rather than sitting on it.
  23. Thanks for all the work that you've done on CoH so far.

    There are quite a few areas for server hosting where C&Ds get the "lol no u" response
