    yeah... if only that was entirely true while effort counts for many things there is still a level of natural talent in all that too. Other wise my 22 years of drawing would have made me Rembrant or El Greco. I am sure my art will improve I highly doubt it will ever be quite as nice as yours :P

    P.S. KtheWife is still around on DA she left her old account and set up two new ones.
    One for art commissions and the other for WIPS and ranting. Can find her here and here.
    Good to know for those interested I am also happy to do a trade (I offered such to Agent Canada he was just nice enough to draw Cola Girl no trade requested )

    the trade would be my line art for yours or I color a piece of your line art for line art of one of my characters, this doesn't exclude the idea of me just coloring something I like that I have permission for, but I would to do some trades if any one is interested as I almost always broke but have a yen to see my characters drawn in a fashion that I unfortunately at this time lack the ability to do to my satisfaction.
  9. here us another effort to color by me, Agent Canada was kind enough to draw a picture of my Character Soda Girl which I then colored and made in to a mockup comic cover

  11. Yea...cause playing nice is gonna change the out come, cause NCsoft is gonna come back and say "well we where thinking about selling it but cause that Xenophage guy called our new game a piece of crap we aren't going to any more." >.>

  15. so jealous, such nice art
  16. Xenophage

    Feral Kat artz!

    When ever I see this lovely work (or the stuff done for Neko or kageman) I can't help but be jealous.
  17. Since it will let me vote but not comment on massively for some messed up reason I will respond,here

    While it would suck some what I would still play I'd just view it as a way to reinvent some of my characters. So long as i didn't loose all content I bought (Costumes, expansions etc.) I'd be fine with it.
  18. I think any one who plays and loves there game feels for us, which at least makes me feel good

    It does nothing to bring the game back, it provides next to nothing in the way of compensation for affected players, the only profit in the entire enterprise would accrue to the lawyers involved.

    I'm all for annoying NC and making them regret this entire debacle, but really now. The numbers simply don't justify a legal assault, beyond complaining to some other huge corporate entity like a credit card company and letting the two of them go at it like prehistoric monsters in a Ray Harryhausen film.
    not like I care i paid monthly, I feel bad for the guy who bought a year sub a week before the shut down was announced and has no desire to play any other NC soft game... and all I am saying is if that was me I'd be talking to lawyer (or at least a law student) about my options .

    And who knows maybe they still will give refunds when/if the game is shut down, after all as of right now this whole thing has alot of moving parts and they may just not be ready to give refunds at this time... ~shrugs~ (sorry my inn optimist got out won't happen again)

    I have, and to justify the expense you need to be A: Wealthy or B: Pursuing a substantial payoff.

    Even if I stood to get my *entire* material investment from the 8 year history of the game back in one lump sum, employing a lawyer to pry it loose would place me deep in the red.
    this is why such matters are usually handled by class action lawsuit where in the company pays out a lump sum to all the complaining parties and then the lawyer gets there bit. Also be aware just cause one lawyer wouldn't do it for less then a 1k retainer doesn't mean another will. but lets cross that bridge when we come to it.
  21. I understand what you are saying, but to use a CoH Analogy to me there Alignment has changed. To me they ARE the Villains, not strictly cause they no longer want City of Heroes, in fact that part I am okay with and completely understand what makes them Villainous to me is the manner in which they handled it. Most of the time when a company decides to shut down a game or sell it off they have a press conference or news release that is accompanied by a trickle effect where you get a patch or two to help wrap things up before the lights go dark. In this case it was delivered more like coming home to an eviction notice.

    It is for THAT behavior that I demonize NCsoft.

    All they would have to do is show that care about the players at all. An apology for they handled things, telling us directly they are interested in selling CoH to another company. Other things that don't help is things like unwillingness to give refunds to people who bought months of Sub time at once that extend past when the game will be shut down and only offering to transfer the game time.

    I am sorry this changes nothing, at this point in time if CoH dies (baring something like NCsoft trying to sell CoH but no one being interested) I will not be buying any more NCsoft products. I know that my not buying there products probably won't hurt them. Heck even if every CoH player decided to the same as me it probably wouldn't hurt them a ton. Would it be nice if it hurt there profits enough for them to feel it? yes! However that is not the ONLY reason I have decided this. It comes down to I have a limited amount of money and I choose not to spend it on products by a company that I feel doesn't care about its consumers. To me I feel like okay so IF I do buy GW2 are they gonna pull this same crap with that in 8 years where they decide they want to focus on pretty pretty princess dress up games and the only notice we get is a message on the site saying we have 2 months till they take away the game with no real explanation? I am not willing to give them that opportunity again.

    Again I understand the business part its not where they want there focus, but the way they handled the shut down was callus and harsh and I am not down with that.

    if you read the OP's statement in this thread it has nothing to do with character rights it has to do with NCsoft not issuing refunds and only offering game time in another of there games. So he is saying that if you are loosing loads of money (Like you just paid for a year sub on Aug 29th) that if you want your money back you may have to confir with a lawyer to see if you have a case.
