Try and take it easy during this, Zwill... and thanks for doing what you can to keep these forums going as long as they can during this "sunsetting".
Any advanced warning will be great... but I am sure you know this and will do what you can, if you can.
Thanks and hang in there, Andy,

I understand this, and I understand your disappointment.
To put this more in perspective: NCsoft isn't moderating the forum. I am. Freitag might be. Hitstreak might be. They're also looking for a new job and trying to deal with everything that has happened. You know that you have the right as a consumer to voice your displeasure. Let's try to do it in the same manner we would have done during the last 8 years of development; without breaking the forum rules . |
It's not the loss of the game. That I think I could handle and cope with more reasonably (even while crying and posting nostalgic and maudlin things), but how it was done, by what was done to you. I've been there, you see, called into a meeting on a Friday afternoon, told I was fired, and discarded like so much used Kleenex. I did not handle it with your grace, and for that I admire you all the more.

I've seen a few such random folk about and don't understand it, given how positive our community is overall. But I guess they didn't like that we liked the game and apparently we were all in a conspiracy to back up some terrible devs or a terrible game or... something.

Z,
This should be stickied at the top of every forum. It will aid your sanity.
Thanks for working hard to the bitter end.
Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.
We're happy to have you guys 'n gals around for as long as possible, redsies! *hugs*.
I may be asking a silly question here, but will the forums go down when/if the game is being plugged too?
If the game can't be saved.... can atleat the forum be saved?
Read my in-game stories and check out my DeviantART page.
- coXso - It was a memorable time filled with art!
This ruins my plans to let loose on people I don't like and let dem know what I tink o' dem.

Or he could just induct himself because he's a moderator.
I wonder if anyone here remembers when CuppaJo gave me the forum cartel title. People started asking about it as soon as they saw it, and I denied everything. People really tried hard to convince me my title said forum cartel, too. I'm surprised no one sent me a screenshot.

Well, now what do I do with these?
Best of luck on the job search!
According to some commentor on Massively, there IS a forum cartel and while he is sad to see the game go, he's glad to see them burn.

No one spill the beans about the bonus PP and free VIP status.

Every single emotion you guys are feeling right now, we at Paragon feel as well. Many of the thoughts we were sharing yesterday would have been censored on these forums. It's understandable and justified to feel that way.
But keep it clean. You don't wanna go out like that

Zwill, thank you and the rest of the Paragon Studios team for your past and present work. I know how I am feeling, as well as how friends and SG mates on various servers feel about CoH ending 11/30. I can only imagine how you guys feel. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! CoH will be the standard by which I evaluate and judge all other MMO's (tho the idea of playing another MMO just now doesnt appeal in the least.) I'm still holding a vague hope that somehow either NCSoft will reconsider (which I think highly unlikely) or that somehow Paragon Studios and the development team can re-boot CoH with a different publisher (though I consider that also unlikely.) I don't know what it will take to show NCSoft that they have an extremely loyal customer base who all want to continue playing CoH. That NCSoft sprang this so suddenly on everyone stinks and there's no sugar-coating that! However, I appreciate that you want to leave this on a good note (since there are tears enough), so let me reinterate: THANK YOU!!! YOU GUYS TOTALLY ROCKED!!!
aka @Kristoff von Gelmini, leader of small SG bases (Infinity/Victory/Virtue/Protector), member of The House of Tera (Justice) and various others (Champion/Infinity/Victory/Guardian/Freedom).
It astounds me that when your life has dropped out from under you and the rest of Paragon Studios more than any of us players, your first thought it still to make the gaming community as great as possible for as long as possible.
*more hugs*

I haven't said it in any of the other threads I've posted in, so let me put it here so there's no doubt.
Thank you. To former devs, current devs, community team members alike. Thank you for helping make this the best MMO on the internet. And in my opinion, it'll be a cold day in Hell before some other game tops what we have here.
And thank you to the players, as well, for making the best MMO out there also the friendliest.

I'm just glad to see you're still here, and on a Sunday no less. As I said in a previous thread that got buried, I'd like to see the forums stay behind after the game. I don't know who'll host them and who'll moderate them, but I'd like to see them survive with their current database. It would both retain my home away from home, and it would also, I think, serve as a statement. I said it before that I'll be here until the servers shut down, and I'm not going anywhere. I might not play the actual game much beyond "saving" my characters, but I'll keep visiting the forums.
And if these forums live on even after the game dies, then I'll keep coming back here, and I'll keep trying to behave in a way I would be proud to demonstrate. I know we've all had our ups and downs, and I have more than my fair share of mod warnings cluttering up my inbox. But now is the time for us to moderate ourselves, I think. We've always prided ourselves as a positive community that doesn't condone bad behaviour. This is probably the time to prove it.

Whew. That was close.
