Yes. Wanna give it a shot sometime? I'll fire up Mumble next November.

You can also have a past. Even you're allowed that, Canny.

Wow. The fact that players become devs and devs remain players is one of the many wonderful things about this game. I really feel bad for you guys. Losing my make-believe second job as a superhero with only 3 months notice stinks. Losing your real-life primary-income job with no notice at all is disastrous. I wish you all the best of luck.

Arcanaville has a working teleporter! You heard it here first.

I got 5 out of 8, but I bet those were the obvious ones.


Hm....

Could Technology Services Vendor be one of the missing variables?
That would certainly complicate things...

Fine... I admit it. I was the Paragon Studio janitor!! And Zwillinger went through way to many tissues... BEFORE TODAY!

****, they if they hired you, then I definitely had a shot!

Always loved reading your posts. I'm jealous you got to be behind the curtain, even if it wasn't for that long.

Oh man. I didn't get to interact much with you when I saw you at the Pummit, but I'd have never guessed who you were.

Glad you got to live the dream so many of us have had of getting to work on this fabulous game.

----------------------------------------

The only other one I know the identity of that was still working there would be Alpha Wolf.

And much like knowing Tic-Toc was BAB, it is not my place to reveal that identity.


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.

Texas Justice, it was so much fun getting to talk to you and everyone else at the Player Summits. Just pure joy.

Though, on the first Player Summit someone from Pinnacle noticed me. I tried to disappear, but later I received an in-game tell to my personal account asking if I had been at the Player Summit.

Had this hanging on my wall.

LOL
Also, I'll do the obligatory... Wow, so Golden Girl is a Dev!?!?!



Well, anyway, good to laugh and reflect on the good things... but this really does suck.
Just seeing the members of Paragon Studios from the outside, and getting a chance to interact with them here and in person at a few meets, made me feel like I knew how awesome they are and how seriously enthused and passionate they are about this product. I can only imagine how much that comes off when you are actually inside and behind the curtains with them. I hope you can continue in the business, Bass.

I'm upset about what's happening to our wonderful community, but I am saddened about what has happened to the best team I have seen in this industry. Paragon Studios deserves far better than this. They have been the champs, delivering the best service, product and customer satisfaction... Oh, and the number one super hero mmo, of course.

At the very least, we can all walk away knowing this.

Just played Brawling Humiliator through a Lady Grey Task Force with the Talsors, and bAss was there... that's where I learnt about the Dev thing.

Whoa.

And totally Awesome. A Pinnacle Dev. Sweetness.

bAss, thanks much to you and all the Red Names/Devs for your work in keeping CoH, and these forums, the fantastic stuff they are. Good luck in your next endeavour, may the interim be short!


August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.

Also:

HOLY CRAP, bAss was a dev!!!

That gave me a Usual Suspects moment there.

Is it odd that I feel strangely honored that dev sent ME a gfriend request?

I mean, I'm kind of a dick and all.
