Kitsune Knight

EDT, for anyone curious (according to the article).

For the demo record thing, you can just start it and instantly stop it (In the past, I actually had a keybind that would, with just one tap, start and then stop a demo record, just to basically get a snapshot of the 'now'! The base, all the characters, etc will be saved.

An open-world sandbox RPG set in the CoH universe (ideally spanning both Paragon and the Isles), that rivals the scale of Skyrim and Just Cause 2? Yes, definitely. And I think they could easily do such a scale (I mean in the sense of not running out of ideas to fill it with, not the actual world building itself!).

Hell, it could even feature Architect Entertainment, for other people to share their own custom stuff.

Not that it'd ever happen...

That...


was...


awesome!

houtex, there's also the possibility that the Devs form their own indie studio, although they'd be very unlikely to be able to keep everybody (Zwill commented on that, saying something along the lines of it would be awesome, but it'd also mean he'd likely still have to find a new job).

I feel fairly confident that the Devs, if given a flesh slate, would come up with a new MMO that was still quite original, like how CoX was (and still is). They've shown they're a very talented bunch.


Of course, I'd also like to see the game survive. If another company does pick it up, they'd more than likely try to snatch up a few of the former devs (at least on a temporary basis), since I'd doubt they'd just want to throw it up on a server and never do anything else with it again, and trying to learn a massive code base without being able to talk to anyone familiar with it is absolutely horrible.


At this point, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I'm hoping that there's at least a sizable group that all joins up at a studio, and can weave some of CoH's magic into another MMO (because CoH is the only game that has kept my attention for even longer than Starcraft did )

AFAIK, it was merely rights to make a movie that were purchased. Not that a movie was necessarily going to be made... just think of it as some guy yelling out 'dibs!' even though he had no intention of using it.

That $687 million purchase made Nexon the single largest investor in NCSoft.

Without adjusting for changes in the price of the stock since then, just to get a 1% share of NCSoft would cost just shy of $47 million. I don't think we could reasonable purchase enough shares to gather enough influence... and if we were able to raise enough money, it likely would be better use elsewhere (such as paying NCSoft to sell the IP+code and creating an independent Paragon Studios, and funding that).

Resistance Fighter: Bananas!

The Rularuu back story was quite excellent! I liked the explanation of how a multiverse could exist without the whole continuum of all events existing and making inter-dimensional travel explode your head.

I've still so many more to read! Good times

The store would likely be required to refund the purchase price of it.

Found an old (~1 year) copy of Wine I had... CoH wouldn't load past the banner image (not even the splash screen). If it works on Wine on Linux, I'd bet that it'd likely work on OS X. I'm sure someone else with an OS X machine will be around to test... if not, I'll try to grab a newer copy and see how that goes.

By 'universe', do you mean a new lore or an actual game (along with lore)? Doing a quick Google on 'Wild Cards' makes it seem like you might mean the lore.

Awesome! Seems to have worked perfectly for my Peacebringer (I'll do the rest gradually ). I was gonna ask if you guys could adjust it to say if there was any problems with exporting the badges... but after checking, obviously you guys are way ahead of me!
