I've been saying this in a few posts, and I just want to hear a reply from someone before I give up pushing the idea.

Is it possible to "sell" the game to the fans through something like Kickstarter?

There seem to be a lot of developers and designers that got "let go" or moved off of CoH that could basically form a new company and take CoH off NCSoft's hands. Would it be feasible to buy the game from NCSoft with that raised money and form a new company? In one of NCSofts reply posts they said they couldn't find a buyer... so could the fans be the buyer?

So I'm not sure where to reply with this thought, but why don't the folks that are trying to reverse engineer the system and create a new CoH (or CoH like game) start up a KickStarter?

There are a lot of people who buy Paragon points, myself included, that would be willing to save up a bit and chip in to a project like that. KickStarter lets you do a "thank you"/"prize" system for donating. Put a promised pre-order at 100$ and I'm in.

So some ppl have been saying that it's not a good idea for game companies to start compensating players for down time. There are a few major games that do it already, however.

One company pushes back subscriptions with delays exceeding expected times. So if there are 2 days of really unplayable servers, or a day of unplanned maintenance, they will add that time onto everyone's subscription. (I've had this happen to me in one of their games recently)

The Dev's didn't have to do anything to apologize IMO.

I was a little disheartened when I found out you can't earn more candy canes though T_T
