I've been playing through the Night Ward missions since those are pretty much the only arcs I hadn't done yet. After that....I dunno. Sure I could level some characters, but why get more attached to them when they're gonna up and disappear on me? Maybe I'll run some MA stuff if I can seperate the 'real' stuff from the fire-farm crap.

I am NOT ignorant.

Let's not forget all the great Koreans out there. People like Psy.

Pffft. Forget the sodas. Start pulling copper wire out of the walls.

I didn't forget about it. But there is literally ZERO information in any of those statements as to the costs associated with individual games.

All signs indicate that the announcement was as unexpected by Paragon as it was by us. If it were simply a bottom-line issue then the management team at Paragon would have had a pretty good idea it was coming. The abruptness of the announcement and the vagueness of the reason given ("realignment of company focus") have the undeniable stench of corporate politics.

Low sales =/= low profit. At today's exchange rate those reports show that CoH had a bit over 5 million dollars in sales for the first half of the year. Keeping in mind that Paragon studios has had a VERY small staff, do you REALLY think it costs NCSoft over 10 million dollars a year to maintain this game?

Surely something could quietly be leaked to the folks at paragonwiki. NCSoft can't do squat to them for publishing information.

The date might have been known, but license renewals are a pretty standard thing and usually they come and go without a blip unless the license owner has a plan to get more money from somewhere else or develop the property further themselves.

I wasn't intending to have a go at either of those anyway. I'm sick of the Generic Epic Fantasy games of which GW2 is the latest in a long line and CO, which is a pretty old game itself by now, never did appeal to me. CoH I've played off and on since late beta and there has never been another MMO that I felt so thoroughly at home with (and I've played more than a few.)

I doesn't really bother me anymore what with vidiot maps and knowing the area, but it used to drive me nuts. I can't imagine that new players get much fun out of it.

No thank you. I like having the extra regeneration that I get from having higher health. At least on a tank.

What if they're Pandorkz?

20% every 10 seconds averages out to 1.2 ppm, so that's no nerf.

He mines for food.

It might. What if he was planning on blowing up a busload of puppies?

I finished reading Use of Weapons a few days ago and it was GREAT. I thought Consider Phlebas was kinda meh, though.

Very much my own sentiments. It's sad that humanity has never set foot on a world further away than Neil Armstrong did in 1969. And we haven't gone even that far in what will soon be 40 years.
