I have no idea what the hype is about, since it doesn't explicitly say that it's for 'CoH' itself. And I seriously doubt it will be from the looks of it.

The reason that most people are assuming it's for City of Heroes is because of one of the requirements being;
An avid MMO player, specifically City of Heroes.
Why bother saying specifically City of Heroes if it's going to be for a completely different MMO?
Badge Earned: Wing Clipper
A real showstopper!
Maybe it's for an MMO that's planned as the complete opposite of City of Heroes and so knowing what CoH is would help you avoid being too similar. Not likely, but possible...

LOL, good idea.
Maybe it will be called City of No-Farming?
I really should do something about this signature.
Well first thing I heard Posi say when I logged into test was:
04-28-2009 17:38:37 [Local] Positron: We'll be dealing with the farmers, harshly.

All I can say is: Bring on the new staff member! 
I hope to god it means non-bipedal character models and not the usual "Awesome stuff for exclusive NPC use."
Well having nothing better to do i decided to go look at the paragon studios web site (yes really im that board) and theres a few more intresting jobs up
yet another character artist
could this be the type-r man (take special note of the resposibilites)
Another powers person more powers persons cant be bad
There definitely up to something it may not be CoH but going by many of the preferred requirements its definitely Super hero related
While all that is interesting - VERY interesting - I still see no sign of content, and even worse, if this is what they need, that means this is what they currently don't have.
...and that's a rather scary thought!
edit: At least it's a clear indication they're investing in the "hero" franchise, be it CoX2, expansion or whatever.
Definitely an investment no matter what way you look at it. Exciting stuffs

Or just the third part of the City Of... series. Based on the Waterworld film, City Of Costner should launch early 2010.

It was only a matter of time before someone tried to turn Sid Meier's Pirates! into an MMO.

Hmm, interesting. How do they intend to do that then? has the EULA changed since I started playing? I don't remember it mentioning farming...

From the I14 patch notes:
[*]NCsoft reserves the right to ban any missions that contain any exploits that provide unintended statistical advantages. Players and/or authors that advertise exploitable missions through our forums, in-game chat system or through the Mission Architect system may be banned from the Mission Architect System or may have their game account closed.
Now without a formal definition of the terms involved (e.g. 'exploit' or 'unintended statistical advantages') it could be the case that creating farms where many mobs can be harvested at low risk for the rewards on offer is seen as an exploit providing statistical advantages unintended by the devs.
It most certainly seems that being able to go 1-50 in a matter of hours is an unintended advantageous rate of xp gain.
Also note that in the anniversary pocket D appearance, Positron said (with regards to MA farms):
04-28-2009 17:57:54 [Local] Positron: Yes, if you lodge Complaints against the farms, they can be taken care of
Which I guess means that the official position is that we should report farms.

Ah, fair enough. Somehow I missed that! Lets hope they getb a move on then because all this MA farming is destroying the game as I knew it for new players especially.
Aren't we forgetting something here?
