But I think in hindsight, there were a lot of consequences down the line that no one could have seen coming. -

The "it" is the latest idea/angle of attack to get our game back - more details should be out in a day or two.

More from Mercedes Lackey - some facts, some guesswork:
I've got this confirmed.
The asking price for City will drop exponentially from the reported 80 million when it closes. I have the feeling that the 80 million actually included an exponential amount of padding to deal with those chimerical "legal issues"--after twice losing the Garriott case, I speculate they wanted enough in the bank to pay out without hurting. Once it's closed, all those issues go away, and the price goes to something reasonable.
Sale will include the IP and code. The game engine was bought outright from Cryptic when NCSoft bought City (I have this from another impeccable source who was working at Cryptic when the sale happened).
What is NOT known is whether account and character data are going to be preserved. No one knows this except NCSoft. Archiving your characters via Sentinel + might prove the only way to restore them--I can only say that one would hope that in the event that character data is deleted, a new owner would see the wisdom of doing a one-time restore for those that have done so, but that will depend on the generosity of a new owner.
Her source also believes that NCsoft will consider a sale. -

Print screen button ?
The other method is
print screen >> control c >> Photoshop >> paste. -
So considering there were plans for issues up to 32, incarnate clots beyond --core?-- hadnt been thought out yet? Or not enough to even say, we were toying with this idea but most likely not? I woulda settled for that rather than not saying anything...
:/
Good read tho! Thanks Posi! -
Hey Zwill,
On on a monthly billing cycle... So My next bill date was 9/20... so does that mean I WONT get charged for another month, and I will still be VIP?
Should I go ahead and click "cancel billing" just to make sure I dont get charged again? or will that leave a possibility iw ill lose VIP status? -
Sooo... did Double XP get enabled

Quote:Dude! Paragon Studios lost their jobs, NOT ncsoft. NCSoft cancelled the game knowing the "freemium" model. While it was sudden and out of no where for us -NC Soft knowingly did this ahead of time. No corporation wakes up one morning and says "geez, lets cancel this game."Originally Posted by Ironik
Dude, they lost their jobs. Have patience. Lots of us just spent a ton of money on subs; it's up to NCSoft to make the refunds.
They have subscriptions ending any day now, and they cancelled all transactions. How do they NOT give an update to the player who have paid their money?
Anyone out there whose sub ended this week? If so did you keep your VIP or lose it? -
yes.
-
Quote:Some of my friends subs end this weekend. What happens then? Have they turned off the autobilling yet? Has anyone had their subs run out since the announcement?
...all recurring subscription billing and Paragon Market purchasing will be discontinued effective immediately. We will have more information regarding a detailed timeline for the cessation of services and what you can expect in game in the coming weeks.
If so did you become free and lose all your perks?
I cant believe its going to be a week and we haven't heard anything from Andy Belford and/or NCSoft. -
As we are all having a hard time with this, I feel that closure always helps to move on. So I ve seen some of the devs and mods posting and giving thanks to the community.
Would you mind telling us what you had planned for the future of CoX? I read somewhere that you had outlined all the way to Issue 32.
Incarnate Slots?
New Powersets?
Proliferation?
Costume Ideas?
Story/Lore developements?
Was Statesman ever coming back?
Anything else you the community would want to know? -

Still need to rewrite the *entire* back end of the game so that the AI of mobs, their spawning, combat etc was done on the local machine. FAAAAAR more work than you can imagine.

Title says it all. How hard is it to let us run the game as if it was just a PC game? No server, no social/MMO component. Just a PC game.

I can vouch for that really being Chris (BAB) and Floyd (Castle).
We're at lunch now. I'll post more later but I am sharing your thoughts with the team.
If we still have forum access next week the writers and I will do an "ask us anything" about CoH lore. And we mean ANYTHING lore related. If we not know it we'll make it up on the spot. -

Still waiting on a redname post.
The fact that this isn't even a redname thread is suspicious.

Theyre too busy saying godbye to eahc other and packing up. You wont be seeing a redname again. -

I dont understand how they released new images of the i24 costumes, gave out codes, then BAM.
It was obviously unexpected, even for the COH team.
Funny how there is no OFFICIAL press release on the NCSOFTS site. I just went here. -
Quote:Or even better, maybe the devs will develop there OWN COH, call it something else and have the fans pay for it? :POriginally Posted by Coyote_Seven
I believe our only hope is if the Titan Network sets up a Kickstarter fund to attempt to buy the CoH property from NCSoft. But... I have no idea if that would even work.
I doubt NCSoft will hand it over to the devs or players without some hefty payment, after all its a corporation, they dont care about the customers, just $$$. -
-Side note, does this mean all of our character names/bios/ideas/lore we created around the game now belong to us again? :P
-
Also,
Anyone have a link to Positrons Blog? Perhaps he may say something down the road?

Also Matt Miller just tweeted Goodbye to PS and COH. -
Tell us what was going to happen in the Incarnate Slots!
What was the super secret project you were working on?
Why wont NCSoft just sell them game instead of shutting it down? -
So many questions! Whats going on? Come on!
