Yeah, it's that spaghetti code that pretty much ensures that at least some of the current devs at Paragon Studios would have to be rehired. Could you seriously imagine SOE or anyone else trying to figure that thing out by scratch?

Huh? Look at the recent posts. Sense. Your post makes none.

Quote:Relax, the OP confirmed that SOE is not the only company interested... just the only one he got the name of out of the list of interested parties.IF this rumor is true, I really hope it's not SOE. If it is, I swear, I'll throw up a little in my mouth. Sony has screwed me so many times over the years that I've permanently sworn them off. IF SOE acquired the game, I think it would be a short-term reprieve at best, as I honestly think they are incapable of managing a game like City of Heroes or a studio like Paragon Studios without screwing it up--and screwing us players over in the process.
IF it is SOE, I honestly can't help but think that they would be buying the IP rights and/or assets for the sole purpose of ensuring that no one else gets it, so that they can be 100% sure that City of Heroes is permanently dead and can NEVER be competition for any of their other MMORPGs.
I'm begging everyone here, please be careful what you wish for. We do not want this game in the hands of Sony. It pains me to say this, but I hope that NCsoft would just shutter the thing before selling to Sony, because if they shutter the thing, it doesn't preclude someone else getting it and opening it back up later.
IF there is meat behind this rumor and there are other interested parties, I really hope that a smaller publisher/studio acquires the rights. I want a company that isn't a behemoth in the industry. Such a company wouldn't look at the income that Paragon Studios generates as small potatoes. Such a company would treat it with the value and worth that it deserves.
To make an analogy, if you make $800 per month in income and someone gives you a $100 bill, that can actually be life-changing. At the very least, you will appreciate the hell out of it and remember that gift forever. If you make $8,000 per month in income and someone gives you a $100 bill, you'd probably say, "Yeah, thanks..." and forget about it in a few days. I want Paragon Studios and City of Heroes in the hands of a company that really appreciates it for what it's worth, someone who doesn't shut it down because it's not making enough money. -

That's enough, right? -

Me, I'm going to wander to the other side of camp and look for the girl cots. And see if there are any girls in them. -
There's not much that supports the theory, but even if this was true, that doesn't excuse the unceremonious way NCSoft axed the game. However, if this rumor is ever confirmed, boycott BOTH NCSoft and Perfect World.

Already been posted a couple times, but... more exposure is welcome.
-
That's why this thread is titled "rumor." It's really all speculation at this point. All we know for certain is that PS was unceremoniously axed by NCSoft.
-
NCSoft wasn't exactly tactful in the way they treated PS.

I hope we're successful. I can't imagine trying to find something to fill the void left by this game. It's just too unique of an MMO to lose. There are none like it.

Quote:Haha, mostly true. You weren't as zest-filled compared to Forbin either so no, I don't have much left for you besides letting you know I think you are your like were horrible and glad I eventually won't have to see your names anymore.
Game great, about 10% of you in the forums, not so much. -

Quote:No kidding. But ignore goes against my free speech principles. And he's actually a boring troll. No inkling of a hot button push.Just use ignore. It's kind of pathetic that even now some people gotta be trolls, but it's even more worthless to engage with them now.
lol Kitsune. -
I'm curious, do you actually believe we're standing in a line or were you unable to come up with with rebuttal that made sense? Because the former implies that you are more mentally insane than I am, and the latter implies that you have no cognitive function whatsoever.

Quote:Bad news: Because all of Paragon Studios was fired, I24's never going live.Yeah, same here. Putting any effort into my characters now just seems so... hollow. I'll probably spend some time playing when the next issue goes live, because I want to check out the Tech Knight and Cosmic Corsair costumes. Other than that, I'll probably let this game wither on the vine.
