Heya TA, a couple questions.
First, are you trying to keep it 1 Demo per acc't, or can we submit more of our most known toons?
Second, I saw Ainsley Jerden in the list, but not in the first pass. Will you be moving the 'shorter' toons into the center more and the 'taller' toons out a bit? -
We will overlook this slight, Mr. Kentor, on an otherwise flawless espionage record. However we will still expect your quarterly review and state of the community morale to be mailed to the company, via the usual third party electronic services.
Keep up the good work.
Your Field Supervisor
The Company -
Whether or not NCsoft will even give a petition of this nature a second glance, it's still worth the effort to support the idea. It's better than doing nothing, and I doubt anyone could realistically argue that fact.
I started this petition earlier today, roughly an hour after the initial press release, and this seems to be another suitable thread to bring it to attention.
Petition to Open Source the Game:

It doesn't matter if their past track record has proven they won't budge. I feel better having created this petition, and I'm sure others feel the tiniest bit better having added their signature to it.

Likewise I haven't been active on the forums in all my years here either.
But I concur. Justice has been the perfect server to play on for this long. -
Quote:Just make shake a fist and sign a petition or two, I suppose. For what good it'll do. We're not millionaires on the market for an MMO to buy... But it's better than nothing, I guess.I am not to happy bout this I have tried other MMos and was not to thrilled about them, Wish there was something we as a community can do about this.

Always better to try and do it legally, before illegally, right? -
Well, if we want to kick off a conspiracy theory debate... it could be added that the removal of Statesman and Sister Psyche from the game itself could be chalked up to trying to appeal to a legal settlement over intellectual rights.
It's starting to make sense. -
Quote:Those of us without the financial backing to consider divesting Paragon Studios from NCSoft are left with little alternative than to use our voice. No matter how quiet or insignificant some might think of it.Never going to happen without a purchase of the IP and/or studio. Please focus your thinking along functional lines of how to divest PS from NCSoft. Money talks, other things walk.
Anything, any show of support; even this petition, is better than doing nothing for lack of money or business expertise.
I think it's better to say "I did something." Rather than "I sat back and watched it burn." -
There are so many petitions out there for NCSoft to continue to support City of Heroes/Villains. I understand why. I'm also very emotionally attached to this MMO. I met my wife here, and we've been married for three years now. All of my friends are online and in this game.
But at the same time, I acknowledge that NCSoft has commited to their choice of action. There's no 'take-backs' or 'oops our bad' in this scenario.
What's needed is a more logical approach to this crisis. Yes. The game is going to be taken down before the end of this year; and there is nothing we can do about it.
So what I propose is a petition to release the game code. Making it open source. This would enable private servers hosted by former players of CoH to operate. There would be no further development on the game. But it would continue, as it is right now (depending on whether or not they release Issue 24).
I encourage you to look this petition over, and consider whether or not you agree with it. If you do, then please feel free to sign it. If not, enjoy the time we've been given to make peace with the inevitable. Because between a petition to continue their support, or a petition to open source a game they're shutting down regardless.... I think it's obvious which they might seriously consider.
Petition to Open Source the CoH Game Code:

They might not look too favorably on a petition to continue their support.
But a petition to have them open source the game code so we might host our own private server could have more potential.

Here's another petition, should they not look favorably upon continuing their support of the game. It's a petition for them to open source the game code, so we can host private servers.
http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...eroes-villains -
If you want, check out this petition and if you agree with it, sign.
This could be 'goodbye'. Or, if we can sway them, it could just be 'goodbye for now'.
http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...eroes-villains -
Understood.
At the moment I doubt we could pool together that much of a financial backing, but at least it's worth a shot.
If it's declined despite the petition, then we know beyond a shadow of a doubt how much they care about their customers and players. -
I have created the official Petition...
Please look it over, and if you agree, add your name and any comments you wish to be known to those wth the authority to make this happen!

We need to initiate a petition... and no, before you jump to conclusions this wouldn't be a petition for NCSoft to continue to support CoH and Paragon Studios. Because chances of that occurring are nil. We need to start a petition to have the game, as it sits right now, be made opensource for those of us with the means and the will to host it privately.
Now, I do not know my way around the CoH Forums as much as many of you who are here daily. So I personally wouldn't know where to start. But if we can get the ball rolling here, word would spread like wildfire.
I have been a dedicated player since the launch of City of Villains, and my wife whom I met here in this game has been here since City of Heroes Beta. As i stated in the LFG channel this morning on Commander Hudson:
Quote:Frankly, this isn't something I intend to simply give up without a fight, and I'm sure there are quite a few people out there who agree with that.For some of us, it's more than just 'code'. These characters, SG's, stories, TF's and iTrials... these are a part of us and the devotion we've put into this game. I met my wife here. All of my friends are here, online and in this game...
We need to organize, and prepare for a battle. Welcome to the toughest iTrial of your lives. The AV is NCSoft.
Here is the official Petition:

Yep, a jet pack is suggested! The Event League will be lead by Level 50's, at least one for each team, so Sidekicking is taken care of.
