We need to get together on this...

We need to initiate a petition... and no, before you jump to conclusions this wouldn't be a petition for NCSoft to continue to support CoH and Paragon Studios. Because chances of that occurring are nil. We need to start a petition to have the game, as it sits right now, be made opensource for those of us with the means and the will to host it privately.

Now, I do not know my way around the CoH Forums as much as many of you who are here daily. So I personally wouldn't know where to start. But if we can get the ball rolling here, word would spread like wildfire.

I have been a dedicated player since the launch of City of Villains, and my wife whom I met here in this game has been here since City of Heroes Beta. As i stated in the LFG channel this morning on Commander Hudson:

Quote:
For some of us, it's more than just 'code'. These characters, SG's, stories, TF's and iTrials... these are a part of us and the devotion we've put into this game. I met my wife here. All of my friends are here, online and in this game...
Frankly, this isn't something I intend to simply give up without a fight, and I'm sure there are quite a few people out there who agree with that.

We need to organize, and prepare for a battle. Welcome to the toughest iTrial of your lives. The AV is NCSoft.










Here is the official Petition:

http://www.change.org/petitions/ncso...roes-villains#

Please look it over, and if you agree, add your name and any comments you wish to be known to those with the authority to make this happen!

I met my wife in the world of CoH, this was and still is one of the major things we enjoy together.

It feels like we just lost a family member.

DON'T LET COH DIE PLEASE !!!

I don't know how to help but damnit if I don't want to actually help spread the word. Tell me what I can do and I'll do it.

I mostly play on Virtue.

Put up this petition and I'll sign it.

I'd be down with seeing this happen, personally. Losing access to characters and records of the Mission Architect stuff I've written all this time is really not going to be fun at all.

I'm a Justice player, as is everyone else in my supergroup.

I have been in CoH since beta..met my SG pals in beta and the majority have stuck around ever since...
CoH is more than just a game...for most, it is a social network...a means by which we are able to connect to people whom otherwise we would be able to. Some, have even met people whom have since become a permanent (and real) part of their lives. I believe for the majority of people in CoH..a part of themselves goes into every character created. Keep CoH alive....one way...or another.(cough...S.E.G.S. ...cough..)

I will join anything that keeps the game alive.

We will need to find out roughly how much NCSoft wants for it though - or if they will sell it.

I will spend money to keep it alive.

/signed, wholeheartedly.

I want FB, Twitter, and the blogosphere to go nuts about this. I'm doing my part on all three, with my fb and twitter (#CoHFanSupport hashtag ftw), and I'll be doing a blog post about it ASAP. But I want everyone to know that this game is beloved by its community and should not end in such an undignified, sudden manner.

Would love to see this become a reality!!

Anything I can do to help... let me know. I'm there and I'm with TA... Just not ready to give it up

I have been playing for 8 years. I met my husband here and every one (except our parents) at our wedding were people we met through City. This isnt just about a game. It's about friends and family.

I sign this with honor, and respect, and determination. Whatever is needed to keep the game alive, im in.

Been playing this game for 7 years. Met many good friends here. Made a few enemies as well. I wouldnt change any of these experiences for anything.

To my friends, i hope this continues so we can continue to team together and enjoy the game together.

To my enemies... I formally extend the olive branch, in an effort to put past things aside and work together for the common goal of the maintaining of coh

To my SG. You are like family. Over the years, we have gone from a joke of an sg that i started, simply to past the time,(i never thought the sg would last a month) to the Top ranked sg in the whole game according to prestige, and the only SG that succefully leads cathedral of pain trials on a weekly basis on Justice server. I salute you Paragon City Harem, and bow before all of you.

Lets keep coh alive. and fight to the last man and the last breath. Whatever, however, whenever, lets do this.

I'm willing to get behind this, but I also was around when Tabula Rasa went away. If I recall a sizable sum was offered(a million?) for the source which was declined. Can't remember anything about a petition, but I wouldn't have been surprised if there was backing in that manner as well.

Understood.

At the moment I doubt we could pool together that much of a financial backing, but at least it's worth a shot.

If it's declined despite the petition, then we know beyond a shadow of a doubt how much they care about their customers and players.

Maybe if we can determine if NCSOFT is willing to sell, that someone could organize a kickstarter to raise the cash and crowdsource the money to release the game Open Source.

Or maybe some of the source code can fall off the truck while they're packing up the servers. Eh Devs? Wink wink?

The Order of the Stick comic raised 1.2 million dollars on Kickstarter to reprint some books (out of a goal of 57K). We have to have at least as many dedicated fans.
