CoH2 registered?

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.

Basically, I wouldn't get too hot about a City of Heroes 2 right now. It looks to be mostly a trade-mark protection.

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 wonder where MMORPG.com got that nifty CoH2 logo from?

I wonder if they might drop any hints nearer the run-up to DCUO launching?

If we PM TheOcho, do you think he'll tell us anything, or just copy-paste that NCSoft response?

OK, this is the press release:

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...

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.
