If it is kept as a respectable "Thank you and good luck" gesture, not a protest, I'll be there.
Edit: Suggestion for naming schemes? Power colors? i.e. should everyone take Dark miasma and tint it orange? Or some such? Think on that, and update the lead post with any guidelines you'd like us to follow.
Thanks for organizing this Marcian.

Absolutely. I have no intention of creating issues or turning this into a negative. The full details haven't been released yet, but we know that these people aren't employed there anymore. Whether being unemployed or leaving for a new job, the transition is always difficult. As people that have greatly enjoyed their work for some time, I thought we could show our support and send them off with a sense of gratefulness and closure.

I'm going to see if I can make a "Marcian Tobay" character in time.
Nothing has been confirmed yet, has it? Might be jumping the gun here.

^ This. Theres no confirmation he was among the eight that have left. Considering I know exactly how much work goes into even the simplest animations, and they seem to be doing work on a lot of alternates, I find it reasonable to put his lack of postage down to armpit high levels of work.

I'll be there, but likely a little late. Still have a few hours' drive ahead of me.

So the lack of official word may undercut this? Frustrating.

Since theres been no official word other than Market Spew, I refuse to accept that.

could hold off till after NYCC? We'll most likely get confirmation via someone's direct interaction with developers there. Not regarding the circumstances, just whether he was amongst those laid off.

That's an idea on the table. Still considering all options. |

I'll be there.
This is a lousy way for my weekend to begin, but I guess it's worse for Chris.
EDIT: I won't be rolling a lowbie since Justice is home. I'll be there on TJ.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
I'll be there
My 6 months of subscription money was just received NCSoft
There is no such thing as an "innocent bystander"
Actually, this could still be a good idea regardless of whether Back Alley Brawler was among the lay offs or not. If he's still around, it can be 'Tanks for the work you've done thus far' instead.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
I will attempt to make it.

Really wish I could be there, farewell party or otherwise. It's our L5R RPG night.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
I'll be there. Chris put a lot into this game and the community. It really bites to see him, or anyone on the team for that matter, have to leave.

Whatever the heck L5R is, I'm sure it can be paused/stopped/left for 5-10 minutes or so just to pop by Galaxy City |

Then a 10 minute break for snacks would be a good idea

I'll be there... dressed in my Thorn Of The Fire Rose best.

Just wanted to say that this is going great. A lot of people are here. We intend to post screen shots shortly. ^_^
Statesmonkey sez: The gathering was awe-inspiring. Great to see all you folks out there in game for once, even for as sad an occasion as this.
Thanks for the hard work, BaBs and other Unknown ex-Devs! You were a big part of why CoH is so fun!
/em salute
Statesmonkey Sez: Lighten up! It's a game, for Lincoln's sake!
Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.
My proposal:

Who would be interested?
