I dunno wether you consider it worth reading or not, but it will be an official anouncement of CoH2.

I'd be interested to see what makes you come to that conclusion.
However, lets for a moment assume that you're correct and that Posi is announcing CoH2. How does that affect CoH, or improve it in any way? Unless they're going to close CoH1 and transfer all our characters to CoH2, then it's pretty meaningless as far as THIS game is concerned, no?
We need to see updates for THIS game, not some hypothetical sequel that's likely to be a couple of years away.
I guess we'll just have to see what Posi has to say on the 28th.

I reckon it'll be that as well, along with hints about 'going rogue'.

I share PRAF's suspicion. What with the ramp-up in developer staff, the dearth of new art or story content, CoH's current architecture having clearly started to grow cumbersome and the mounting pressures from the competition, it makes sense that they'd be working on CoH 2 now and the anniversary would seem a good time to announce it.
So, I'd hazard a guess we'll get an announcement of CoH2, some concept art, a few planned features and "planned for second half of 2010." I have been known to be wrong from time to time, though.

Soooo.... From 11am to 12pm EST (that's 4pm to 5pm GMT or 5pm to 6pm BST - When most of us aren't back from work yet), we get to experience old content that we've all seen before and doesn't actually require much effort on the devs part other than flipping a toggle?
I'm soooooooooo impressed... Not.

No FFM, from 11am to 12am. In other words from 11 in the morning until midnight. So 4pm to 5 in the morning if the same times are mapped to over here. Really they should have used better phrasing for that.

But what if the Zombies drop presents, the Winter Horde perform bombing runs and the rikti rise up from the ground? That would be special.

You forget the Rularuu too... All that at once would certainly be chaos. It'd also be lagtastic and incredibly underwhelming. 5 years is kind of special for an MMO, you'd think they'd do something NEW.
Well, we'll just have to see I guess.
Wonder when we'll get our official post about this?

Just to clear up any timing issues:

I am undecided on this, a month long event can get rather tiresome in the end. On the other hand there might be some good teaming the first few days. Oh well, only time will tell.

Pretty swish birthday present.
This is the first time in my memory that they've announced Positron's address in advance. Announcing an announcement, as it were. Either it's something really hueg, or Paragon Studios have become a team of suits. There isn't a middleground here.
Necrobond - 50 BS/Inv Scrapper made in I1
Rickar - 50 Bots/FF Mastermind
Anti-Muon - 42 Warshade
Ivory Sicarius - 45 Crab Spider
Aber ja, nat�rlich Hans nass ist, er steht unter einem Wasserfall.
It all sounds very dull. What has gone on in the last five years that was so great that warrants being re-introduced for the 5th Anny?
The announcement from Positron may well include some news about COH2, but it's really just a carrot dangling in the wind at the moment.
Not that having a dull 5th Anny will stop me playing 
I'm still having fun

Anyone running a sweepstake on how many times Positron says "Soon" in his address?

Personally these are the things that i want the chaos to be:
[*] All GMs running around every city zone giving their 2 merits per kill. High spawn rate.[*] Alternating invasions[*] Signature AVs/Heroes running around the zones[*] HUGE buff to players outside of missions. All stats are maxed out for the day with enemy numbers hugely increased.

All I really want for the anniversary event is for something new... I don't think that's too much to ask, is it? Something new that actually fits in the game storyline instead of chucking it out the window again...
It doesn't even have to be anything that big, honest! Hell, I'd settle for a day of Arachnos invading Paragon.

Thats basically what champions was trying to be. Really if theres a CoH2, would you be buying it seeing the track record since the big changeover? I wont.
