So sad. I had the best concept ever for a Water/Martial Combat character too. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The last nicest thing NCSoft could of done is just kept the servers open without further development but nope.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Hoping the code's released, but I highly doubt it will be.

Woah. Certainly didn't expect that. Heh, and a few days after I implied in a F2P topic the new payment model must have been a resounding success...

...How about Kickstarting the code source release?

Where is the petition you sign to try and keep it open please? It says in the megathread there is one, but I can't find it.... 44+ pages though....

This sucks!

Petition in my sig. The more people that put it in their sig, the better.

Pretty pointless to keep playing now, since you can spend the time on something else that may be around after Nov.

Don't you know that discussion of power selection/slotting can ONLY be based on hearsay, rumor, idle speculation, and bald-faced lies??!? ~Elf_Sniper

I know its unrealistic to wish, but I half hope some hacker somehow got admin rights and is playing a joke

My impression was since the switch to freedom, CoX was definitely in the black. And to be honest it may well be, you have to consider the following:
-We all know there are some corperate leaders who by their measure, if its not as successful as WoW, , its not successful, which honestly is an unrealistic expectation
-its possible DCUO with its more well known brand, crowded out the market for Superheroes, lowering what would be considered acceptable profit and market share
My wishes for the future?
-someone with some extra $ makes an offer the game
-this is a joke
-the leaders at NcSoft change their minds

There's no evidence, as far as I know, that CoH wasn't profitable under Freedom, and the statement released by NCSoft about the game's closing tends to suggest that CoH was profitable.

But it seems NCSoft thought that CoH wasn't profitable enough; they lost a lot of money on other ventures, and so they felt they should liquidate the resources they have tied up in CoH. Which is a legitimate thing for them to do, but it sucks.

And if I have the story right, and Paragon's employees were laid off today with no warning -- then that doubly sucks. I know what it's like to get laid off on the Friday before a holiday, and my heart goes out to all the good people of Paragon.

Stay strong heroes, and best of luck in your next adventure.
