No. They lost me. After GW2 turned stale (which happened with remarkable quickness) I went and bought an Xbox. I'm done with games I don't get to own and play whenever I feel like and can get shut down while I stand by and helplessly watch it rot.

I've been an MMO gamer for 10 years, most of it spent engaged in CoH. Watching the game that I love above all get screwed like this started off as more of a surprise than something that hurt, but has grown to something that really bothers me. NCSoft has effectively ruined my trust in MMOs. This was a game that I believed reached immortality, because it had enough die-hard fans to keep it running and turning a profit indefinitely. As it turns out, any MMO can be killed by one moron that controls its publisher, even one that was going to be profitable for decades if allowed.

So no, I won't be playing CoH again, because I put thousands of dollars into this game and have been repayed with a shattering of my sense of security and trust. I won't be playing any MMORPG again. The genre has died for me, and NCSoft pulled the trigger.

Hi Everyone,

It has been a long time since I've posted anything, and most of you probably have no idea who I am. I've been largely absent from the community for the last couple of years because RL has demanded it. I've been with this game since one of the later waves of open beta, and I have a great many very fond memories associated with it.

I understand everyone's displeasure and rage that they've just gotten the news that something they care about is on its deathbed, when just recently it seemed so healthy and happy. I don't want to see this game end, and if I had a few spare million dollars laying around, I'd buy Paragon and keep it going. Alas, I'm not that wealthy, but I am willing to do what I can to save this game. Being angry with NcSoft for this move will do nobody any good, and will only hurt our chances of fixing this problem. We haven't heard any statements from NcSoft yet, so we don't know their side of the story. Some time very soon, there will be a press release with explanations and consolations and placations and all sorts of other -ations.

Until that time, all I can do is voice my support and love of this game and its development crew. If some hero comes in and saves this game I will rejoice, and if not I will mourn. Regardless of what the final verdict is, I will continue to support the cause as well as NcSoft.

To the rest of us who care about this game: Hate never helps anything. Hope never hurts anything. Never give up. Never surrender. Being a hero means finding hope in hopelessness, and fighting for a cause you believe in, no matter how dire the situation.

Aww man, the 4th hottest person on the show died

Telling an autistic guy not to overreact is a lot like telling most people to stop breathing; sure, he can do it for a little while, but at some point he's just going to pass out and smack his head on the table because he tried standing up after abstaining for over a minute and a half, and then there's blood on the carpet so you have to go rent a freakin steam cleaner to...

...wait, what was I talking about again?

Anyway, my point is that Westley isn't going to stop overreacting to possible abuses of rules any sooner than I am.

A better Panthro you'd never find

Yeah, this is a change I can get behind.

Every problem with the old new design gone, and every problem with the old old design fixed. Nicely done.

Not Jessica...

She's too hot to die!

I don't see why it's not Neuropolis. I think it sounds better, and doesn't lead people to believe its leader is someone who doesn't have any strong opinions one way or the other.

My name is NarfMann, and I support this thread.

You should have waited a few more days so the thread could have been a year dead when you raised it...

There is nothing wrong with Twilight vampires. They are killing machines. They are the things that dare to hunt the mighty humans, and they do so with no problem. The vampires themselves are perfectly fine unkillable terrors that you are powerless against. They walk in the sunlight; fine. They sparkle; whatever. They kill things and drain them of life; that's what vampires are all about.

The problem with the Twilight series lies solely in the main protagonist. She is a worthless pile of nothing, and anyone that idolizes her, as many girls in our culture do, is a very sad and pathetic person. The story is a basic love story that's not terribly well-written, and is unbelievably emo, but it's not horrible. The only horrible thing about that series is Bella, and everything that thinks she's worthwhile.

I'm sad that I missed this thread the first time around.

It had some of the wrongest wrong wrongness that wrongness had ever wrongly wronged. Hilarious.

Open Leagues in a trial need to let people in until the league is FULL. If that happens, people might actually get into trials, and people might actually use the queue. Also, people need to be able to go do other stuff.

As it is, useless feature is useless.

Humans, as a species, become more successful and efficient the more there are. Population is our greatest natural resource, since a human mind can come up with the solution to any problem.

If each human mind is given more time, each one of them will become more effective and beneficial to society. With aging being a thing of the past, we will approach Utopia.
