I don't think we have seen a sequel MMO which has been truly successful.

Whatever happens, I hope it is a game which can co-exist (and perhaps co-operate) with CoH.

I'd rather they not make a sequel. A massive engine update would be nice, like a huge expansion. But people have worked hard on badges and such and starting fresh would be a bit of a hassle, as would moving SG's.

Define successful. Lineage 2 could be arguably be called a successful MMO sequel.


SI Radio has many DJs and listeners whom hold City of Heroes close to their hearts. We will be supporting many efforts to keep CoH ALIVE!!

Come on guys, it make complete sense. Positron steps down as lead on CoH and goes to work on the endgame (what we now know to be Incarna system) and other unspecified projects leaving War Witch in charge, and the art lead for CoH, Ken Morse, does the exact same thing with David Nakayama taking over as CoH's art lead. They've been hiring and training lots and lots of new staff as well.

If they aren't making City of Heroes 2, I'll eat my hat!

Edit: I'll bet they won't announce the existence of CoH2 for at least half a year, probably in first quarter 2011.

Think I could make a couple bucks in a few years if I go register CoH3?

I'd like to point out that it's not like releasing Everquest 2 has stopped SOE from pumping out Everquest expansions every week, so I doubt doing CoH2 would really stop NCSoft, as long as the demand was there.

Go ahead and copy-paste it yourself and save him 45 seconds.

No, no...Ocho is too smart to fool like that...who's one of the newbies over there we can take advantage of?

I thnik they'd all be too sharp to fall for that

We'll need a more subtle trap to trick them into giving info.

I was thinking may some sort of bugging device hidden in a cake that we could send them.

Leave that to us villains, dearie...."subtlety" isn't in a hero's vocabulary.

Dear Devs,

Is there a CoH2? Ignoring or denying this question will only confirm there is a CoH2.

Thank you,

OK, this is the press release:

Quote:
"City of Heroes is a flourishing franchise and continues to be the world's most popular super-powered hero MMO. While we cannot comment on City of Heroes 2 at this time, NCsoft is proud of City of Heroes' success and is looking forward to future product launches associated with the franchise, including the City of Heroes Going Rogue expansion scheduled for release this July."
"While we cannot comment on City of Heroes 2 at this time?" This make me think more than ever that there is going to be a CoH2.

I started a thread not to long ago suggesting that they start working on CoH2.

Mod8 stepped in and had this to say:

"This discussion is getting pretty non productive so I'll go ahead and lock it.

While I disagree with direction the OP suggested (City of Heroes still has plenty of life left in it), the suggestion itself is not without merit.

Starting over would allow us to reconsider certain design choices that we are committed to at this point. There are things you just don't change about a product nearing it's sixth birthday. More important than anything else, it would give us a brand new canvas to work with, and there are many great ideas, both suggested by you folks and created here internally, that we are currently constrained from doing by design choices made many years ago.

But given CoH has such potential still, I am glad to say we are not planning on stopping work on it any time soon. We've got lots in store for you folks still no worries. We all plan on being here a long long time.

Thanks, "

And so let the speculations begin...

Wow! That's a really candid response. I'm pretty much 100% convinced at this point.

But, I also think they'll keep CoH running and updated at the same time as CoH2, just like with Everquest and Everquest II. Just because a "2" is coming out doesn't mean the "1" will die.

I wonder if this could be a Herocon 2010 announcement?
Although I'm sure the present COX has a couple more years of life in it. As long as it's around I'll be here!

Honestly, GR has been on the board for some time now, it's like paying a contractor to do some work on your house, even if you plan on moving, you've already paid to have the work done. They still have a schedule to follow with this game, no where does it say they can't be working parallel on a new one. I think the biggest draw to a CoH2 would be being able to port your characters over. This would ensure a ready-made base of players to keep you running over that critical first year.

That's not that subtle either

Infiltation is also a possibility, and that can be a hero thing.

That is a rather...open reply.
Maybe we should just PM him?
