I can wish cool developers from CoH will work on it though, right? :3

We (Paragon) are not working on Blade and Soul.
As far as the subject matter of the Coffee Talks goes: We'll try, every week, to cover something that talks about City of Heroes; whether it be news about the game itself, getting to know a new member of the Paragon team, covering community events or whatever, we'll have something (This week was getting to know Rob, our new Lead Engineer).
The important part of these chats isn't always going to be the subject matter. Let's set some expectations; we're not always going to rock your sock with new and amazing material. That's not the point of it. The purpose of Ustream is to provide a regular and consistent personal interaction with you, the Community in a venue other than the forums. Sometimes we're going to talk about random stuff, and sometimes it's going to be fairly structured.
And sometimes Tunnel Rat will say things she shouldn't.
All in all, we love doing Ustream. We love the interaction and we really enjoy that we get to dedicate a portion of our week to spending with our players in this format. I plan on continuing to host Ustream for the foreseeable future, and we're exploring new opportunities utilizing outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and starting this year, Google+. G+ Hangouts have some interesting applications and I'm playing around with how we can use them to create a cool, intimate connection between the Paragon team and you.

Rob only lived in Iceland. Don't think we have any actual Vikings here in the studio.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
And now for something completely viking...

Right, I was pretty aware of this. But I'm also not von Krieger and am much more biased in what I think is important to disseminate. The coffee talk was fun, it was nice getting to know our new resident brit. But for what I feel is 'important info', nothing was really related so I'm not going to report on those sorta things, I'll leave that to VK for when he does them. It was fun though, we're all glad you're doing them

We've got the vast majority of them beat, even the ones who release expansions you have to pay for instead of free issues. Even a particular grandaddy MMO that started in 1999 and is on its 18th expansion. |

Right...
You're just surfing the 'net not doing any work and acting like it's work!

Thanks for doing a recap, even a minor one, while I'm afflicted with Vahzilok Wasting Disease.
Got a cold at Thanksgiving, got a nasty cold at Xmas that I'm still battling, and adopted a puppy in early November.
So I'm not sleeping as often as I ought to be and have managed to shed 11% of my bodyweight since August.
Of course there's still plenty of me left. I'm down to 299 pounds from a high of 330ish.

Since he worked on Eve, the single burning question I have is a question I would have to figure out how to ask in person, because I doubt he'd answer it publicly.
Rob, if you're out there, poke Zwillinger for my email address. Some stuff I wouldn't mind discussing with you that I was discussing with Television (Matt) before he ran away.

This chat was mostly information free because Rob is such a newb and doesn't have much info to give, he himself is still learning.
This chat informed us that if we need to ask something from Rob how to phrase it, like, "Good day, ol' chap. What's all this about Power Pools not being customizable, eh what?"
