No one is going to die if we don't fill up every single thread on the forums with the same exact arguments, over and over and over and over.

Cryptic completely washed their hands of the game when they left NCSoft. The above rumor was debunked by Jack Emmert himself. In other words, Cryptic would have no say in any of these negotiations. None of this is even remotely related to Cryptic.

I wish they'd shout every little change in the situation out. But that's not normally the way businesses conduct themselves.

Sad thing is, If I was able to apply those points to the various powersets on live until Nov, I probably wouldn't bat an eye at the expense :/ Oh well.

Some of those costume pieces aren't in the game. Yet.

See? It's a hint.

We have already seen on the forums people selling t-shirts with DC superheroes on them but with the words "Save City of Heroes" written on them, we have had people selling their commissioned artwork with your characters here, and numerous people are directing players to their websites where there are banner ads for other products there (thus the more traffic that site gets the more revenue they get). Lastly, there are people still selling the game on different auction sites.

One possibility is to sell your account password to people to give them an opportunity to play high end stuff before the plug is pulled.

Is this still against the user argreement? Is that still being enforced? How is that different than what other people are doing to make real money from this game?

Despite everything ya'll throw at her, she'll still do her best to save the reason for our being here. That's why Golden Girl is one of the biggest real-world heroes here, and it's why I'd throw my chips in with her any day of the week.
