Congrats, Mel! 
I was just thinking about how we don't get to see enough of you around here any more!
I hope maybe this means we will get a bit more of ya now and then.
That and... While we'd all put it together and had some vague information passed our way... I missed the memo that had you move out of the top spot! 
So, welcome back, you hoser!

Congratulations, War Witch
And Seond Measure too
I'm guessing that the recent cubicle shuffling is also related to the super secret project

Gratz to the both of you!
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Congratulations to you both.
Nate, be sure to tell Matt and Joe that I said Howdy. I'll miss getting to see you at the Pummit, unless you drop in unexpectedly, which would be a good thing.
Melissa, you'll have to step up your posting again now. Also, this will require you to entertain us with karaoke at the Pummit.
Hey, if Matt can do it, you can do it.
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.
Oh my! A female lead producer. Melissa and Matt in charge. I think "give the players what they want" is going to be taken to... um... the next... umm... phase.. of.. um... awesomeness!
Congratz, War Witch!
And congratz, Nate! I'm sure leading a new super sekrit project is a sign of great trust in your competence.

I like the fact that a woman is in charge of the team in a corporation. Good job.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
Congratulations all around. Naturally we're impatient to know the details of this project Second Measure is working on (and if he will still use the same coding cognomen for it), but in the meantime, we can relax with War Witch at CoH's helm. Here's to a return to the heydey of Going Rogue!

Did you just use Airplane and Beetleljuice quotes to sum her up? Boy, I watch to much tv as a kid.

Apparently, the super secret "next gen MMO" project invovles an "exciting new IP" - which kinda rules out anything CoH related.

Not necessarily. But they cannot reveal such info at this time if it was COH 2, for I am sure marketing reasons. Or high expectations.
Gratz to both of you!
and if something goes wrong, like in Southpark.. we can blame Canada!

Why doesn't an "exciting new Independence Port" have anything to do with CoH? |

Grats to both!
Good to see we still have War Witch around, I'd like to know just how "successful" this business model has been.
Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.
We have a few organizational updates to share with the Community. Because our team has a close relationship with our players, we feel that it's important to share this with you all so that noone wonders why you may not see their names around.
For a over year, Nate "Second Measure" Birkholz has been at the helm of City of Heroes Freedom. Under his watch, we smoothly transitioned CoH from a traditional MMORPG to a successful new Hybrid business model. Nate's constant guidance was a great contributing factor to our successful launch of Issue 21 and City of Heroes Freedom.
Of course there is no rest for the Wicked. Nate has moved over to another project within Paragon, and taking his place as the Lead Producer for City of Heroes Freedom is the one and only Melissa "War Witch" Bianco. As many of you know, Melissa has a long history with City of Heroes and has, on multiple occasions, taken it to the next level.
Sorry Mel, I had to.
So hey Community, join me in welcoming Melissa to her new position as the Head Honcho, the Big Cheese, Canadian Numero Uno, The Ghost with the Most...someone, please stop me...
