Keep in mind that someone with the qualifications to be a game developer could easily get a much better paid job.

[/ QUOTE ]

That argument works both ways.

Plenty of people with degrees kicking about driving trains too because they earn more than they would in their qualified profession, not everyone feels the need to fall of the train thanking them though either.

[/ QUOTE ]

Certainly not when it's moving

Not everyone feels the need to fall over themselves with gratitude.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good thing nobody s falling over themselves with it then.

[/ QUOTE ]

We just give them money as a sign of approval

[ QUOTE ]

I doubt there would be a very big development team on this game if they were not getting paid.

[/ QUOTE ]

You could say that about almost any job

[ QUOTE ]
best to keep in mind these people dont develop this game as some labour of love, its what they get paid for.


[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, the devs do actually play the game too - so they must like it just a little bit

Lord Recluse's horoscope for today:

[ QUOTE ]
Tuesday, Sep 9th, 2008 -- You may decide to accept a social invitation today with the Moon-Jupiter conjunction in your 5th House of Fun and Games. Unfortunately, a square from alluring Venus could encourage you to play when you really should be working or to spend money that you don't have. Ultimately, the more practical you can be, the better you will feel about yourself at the end of the day. There's still time in the evening to enjoy yourself.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm... so that's the old Manticore disguising himself as Sister Psyche trick again, eh? Right, this time, shoot first, plot and cackle later.

[/ QUOTE ]

How can he spend money he doesn't have? Is the whole Arachnos organization bought on credit?

subs will raise and fall, but when 2 new games get released subs will increase due to the wow that really sucks factor of the "new" games.

Fixed - for CoH-lovin' truth

Horses?

I'm not sure an open board would work - there aren't enough mods to review every single post before allowing it to be posted.
There are only 3 and a half mods here - GhostRaptor takes care of the English language stuff, Kerensky takes care of the German stuff, Palladium takes care of the French stuff, and Aero makes the coffee.
They've all got a pretty big workload as it is, and making them check and approve every single post would quite possibly turn them into raging monsters without a shread of remaining humanity, driven only by the need to kill and destroy and drink more coffee - so I'm not so sure that this is something they'd even consider as part of the upcoming forum overhaul.

The rest of the world thinks top hats and upper crust accents have gone out of style, so what the hell do they know.

i13 sucks its not gonna be that great and it is tbh a major flop by what weve been given thus far


[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not certain if that's sarcasm or not...?

[ QUOTE ]
I haven't seen anything on DC online or Champions which has made me think "Wow. Revolutionary".

In fact Champions is so riddled with CoH IP still I've zero confidence in it at the moment. Especially after that interview / preview on Eurogamer last week.

DC Online looks shallow beyond belief so far, with a dumbed down console interface.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is correct - for me, anyway
CO looks like CoH, but with degraded graphics, and DCU looks like CoH reimagined as a console fight game

Anyone remember Build a Better Bridger?

I'm starting to plan on running one for my character (his current costume, quite frankly, sucks )...

[/ QUOTE ]

Can we reuse the thong and gimp-mask ideas we sent to Bridger?

[ QUOTE ]

I believe there is a saying about beating dead horses, and how you should not beat them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did someone mention horses?

That applies to them both

I think it'll be a nice little welcoming thing when you log back in - especially if there's a pop-up window telling you that you've earned x amount while you were away.

Nothing like that

I will find a suitable punishment for you later

That is so going in my signature.

It does look tempting to subscribe to it - but we get other horse magazines anyway, so they most likely cover that

I'm going to answer the questions regarding "why the heck are NC starting a marketing campaign?" with a question of my own. (I know they were a few pages back, but this is something I've considered a little bit this evening).

Why would any company run a marketing campaign for an existing product?

I have some answers, but I'm interested in other people's thoughts - but here's a little question to get you pondering: When was the last marketing campaign for CoX?

[/ QUOTE ]

About a year ago there was that competition to design an advert for CoH.

K is hinting at something rather awesome . In the meantime, concerns of the OP noted and what I can say right now is that we're working on better things in the background. Stay tuned .

[/ QUOTE ]

To take on the mantle of the curmudgeon cynic for once: Yeah, sure, such and such, so and so. Whatever. Could anyone wake me up when there's some actual news?


[/ QUOTE ]

Come on now, you know the Universal Law of Awesome - too much awesomness in one place at the same time can destroy the multiverse - that's why the I13 details are being released in parts, so that the awesomeness in each part will have had time to stabilize before the next part is released.
