So if you suddenly had half a Billion $

I'd donate a sizeable amount to Paragon Studios.
My guides:Dark Melee/Dark Armor/Soul Mastery, Illusion Control/Kinetics/Primal Forces Mastery, Electric Armor
"Dark Armor is a complete waste as a tanking set."
I'd take up PS's offer and have them fire up for me my own personal server.
Speeding Through New DA Repeatables || Spreadsheet o' Enhancements || Zombie Skins: better skins for these forums || Guide to Guides
I'd get both the family accounts back up to V.I.P., clear the market of all one time purchase items (both accounts), and have Mr. NoPants get some of those no moving parts drives he's always babbling about.

This was my first thought too ... and I would fully expect a new Patron by Recluse's side for said donation.|

Well... let's just say I wouldn't be waiting on my monthly sub allotment of points!

I'd probably do a bit of all of the above 
Though most of the money I'd save...I'm not a big spender in real life so...
Leader of The LEGION/Fallen LEGION on the Liberty server!
SSBB FC: 2062-8881-3944
MKW FC: 4167-4891-5991
Try to find out how much the IP is. Oh to be boss. 
There would be new animations...and clown summoning! Just kidding on the last.
Types of Swords
My Portfolio
As far as PS is concerned... well, I'd have some seriously pre-paid subs. I'd probably be less able to play, honestly, since I'd finally get to be a career student and/or get the travelling done I want to (lots of museums to see.)
I think I'd only offer cash injections if there was something they wanted/needed to do that there's just not money for - like having to spend a lot of time figuring out the base editor and how to fix/improve it in ways that wouldn't break current bases.
family debts - gone
friend's debts - gone
setting up friends for live - done
setting up family and kids for life - done
me disappearing - done
Donate? No no no.
I'd buy Paragon Studios. Then make all the changes that I've wanted.
What's that? Changes you want? Not a chance. All changes will be for me only. Then all you suckers will have to
pohsyb: so of all people you must be most excited about the veats
Arachnos Commander: actually, I am
pohsyb: I mean you kinda were one already anyways ^_^

Yeah. I think I'd be interested in something like this... if I had to spend my winnings on the game that is.|

I'd free it to "Established Indie Studio" status. I think the most innovative game making currently is coming out of smaller, adroit and untethered indie studios.

Donate hell, I'd buy a sizable chunk of e-real estate and pay to have the entire base system overhauled with what I've designated on the frivolous spending part.|

I think with the lump sum you'd get around 200 million and some change after taxes, most of that would be working for me in some fashion (investments of some sort or the other), my family could sponge off of that, my tax shelter would be a nice small resturant/bar - doesn't need to make money, just needs to give me something to do and be able to pay a bunch of people a good wage.

Get more hobbies with the new found free time I'd have.
Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....
Come show your resolve and fight my brute!

Then there would be a Cat Mastery set, a vanity kitten pet, and a petting zoo in Atlas Park.
*runs out to buy lotto tickets*
PS: Plus a sizeable bonus for all PS employees because I just love this game so much. I figure a year's pay ought to do it.

'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

Well, at *guessing* main 80 employees making an average 40k/year Thats 3.2 million a year for payroll + another 1 million for benefits and whatnot and going by other franchises of similar size and fame and the price for all the structure and other support staff you are looking at, at least 200 million to buy the City of franchise along with all the support to continue running the game.

I would personally fund the creation of at least one free new Archetype, and/or a buttload of alternate power animations.
Open Archetype Suggestion thread!, Kirsten's Epic Weapon Pools, Feudal Japan, Etc., Alignment specific Rularuu iTrials!
If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.
I would fly out West and have a meeting with one Samuraiko...
From that meeting would come Steelclaw & Samuraiko Studios which would specialize in computer animated movies...
... full length ones... think Shrek only with Super Heroes and the like...
Think the world is ready for that kind of thing?
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Heh, with that much money you could do things in RL Mitt would envy! I'd doubt the day anyone that hit it they'd be thinking about a game honestly. GL to all!
@MARTy McFly
a) Buy the movie rights and make the COH movie. (Including voice cast, custom music, the whole schmear.)
b) Spend the rest of my days happily making COH vids after leaving my full-time job forever. (But still no more ads! Screw that. Music videos, parodies, etc. But no ads.)
c) Subsidize four major COH Pummits - one in the Midwest, one on the East Coast, one in Europe, and one in Australia. (For THAT one, I expect thank-you cards.)

I'd pay off the student loans for all my Facebook friends and ultimately dedicate the rest of my days to charity work, Peace Corps, and shopping local businesses.
I'd put away half for the kids, invest 1/4 of it, pay off homes/cars for parents, in laws and our house in Indiana, make a donation to the JDRF, and take the wife and kids on a nice vacation.
And then I'd come back to work the next day .
