  1. Oldest to go down is no good milestone. Oldest to survive is what we need.

    Maybe we could give NCsoft a medal for killing the best MMO ever.

    A very sharp metal.

    That spontaneously combusts when put around the neck of a corporate executive.
  2. Yea, PS got fired. Roundhouse kicked to the metaphorical curb.

    If the uber secret project lives, it is not what PS has been working on anymore.

    I dunno man, some of my characters are pretty badass. Wouldn't blame them for wanting them.

    If they actually tried, however, they're going down.
  4. I don't remember much, I haven't been here long. But I remember coming into the game as an elec/elec Blaster in Mercy Island during the Halloween event... I remember seeing a fifty foot tall pumpkin monster named "Eochai" and thinking "I can take it!"

    I remember being proved horribly, horribly wrong. I was shot out of the sky by a flaming pumpkin and landed three hundred feet down, in the water. I remember coming back with a vengeance with a team and finally defeating him.

    I remember getting flight and thinking "They can't possibly let me... oh, they can". Then it got even better when I found out that I could go up and down without ramping off buildings.

    I remember my first Mastermind, when the only experience I had was a pre-i22 Stalker and a Blaster, and thinking "This is OP." Because I didn't know about increasing the difficulty.

    I remember seeing my first tank, an (though I didn't know it then) invuln/martial tank and thinking "wow." I remember that tank helping me through so much... she's still the first thing I think of when I think Tank.

    I remember my first ever 50, Shadow of Kronos, who remains both my favorite and most powerful character. I remember defeating my first Giant Monster, the Kraken. I remember going on to believe I conquered the game... only to find Incarnate Trials.

    I remember never being able to do those trials due to my computer. I am now finally getting a computer capable of it... and the game is ending.

    But I also believe in the Titan Network. I still hold out hope that something can be done.

    Rula Shin codes!

    TWHC-WT3R-MTPK-VHV8-M5WU

    Rula-Shin have always been one of my favorite enemy groups.
  6. I'd love to say "Hi this is Bill Gates, I love this game and will personally fund it forever." but unfortunately only one of those three things is true.
  7. Currently I'm of the mind that the best way is to build a new one from the ground up, based of the current (maybe some past?) devs and the community.

    Because it seems unlikely that NCsoft would sell the IP.
  8. Hey, if its Player run we can get Arcana doing balance, Samuraiko doing cut scenes...


    It could be better.

    Of course, I still want the devs.

    I'm not sure any amount can do it, with Perfect World holding the engine hostage.

    Thanks.

    Thank you.

    All the rednames saying goodbye one by one is too much.
  12. I'm... I'm never going to get my chainsaw.
  13. CoH 2 is now the only hope. Since PW will never let the engine be released again, the only hope for a continuation of the City's soul is for another company to design and publish City of Heroes 2.

    If I was in any way rich enough, I'd do it.
  14. I intend to finally do a successful Hamidon Raid.

    Because I never have.
  15. War's Herald will be at the HQ of E.G.A.D, looking for other worlds to protect.

    Shadow of Kronos will descend as if a storm upon those responsible for the destruction.

    Of course, the playerbase may not WANT me in charge, but hey, we all have to make sacrifices.

    I'd take anyone at this point if they keep the game running.

    Hey, if it was you we'd at least have really awesome cutscenes

    I really do hope NCSoft crashes and burns now. This was an enormous, mind boggling mistake.

    The above quotes are a very good question. If the license is expiring, could Cryptic put it back up and running? Is that too much to hope for?
    If Cryptic bought it they'd own all the big ones in Superhero MM, but they'd also have two games competing against eachother.

    But then, they are making money either way.

    To all of you...

    Zwil, feel free to not hold any ill-will to NCSoft.

    I will be holding enough for ten people.

    I'd second this.

    And then the goodbye signs.
  20. ... NCSoft has other games?

    News to me.

    Not that it makes a bit of difference, won't be touching them.
