That is a fantastic question. I'm going to add it to my list of questions for the devs. Though I imagine today will be the day we find out more.
I'm guessing at this stage that nobody knows.
Thelonious Monk
I'm guessing they mean "This Thursday."
Chief Hamster of the Fist of Justice / Shadows of Victory
Victory Server: Join Victory Forum for team forming and general game chat and IRC Chat: irc.hashmark.net #victory for offline chatting.
Rock, rock on Hamster.
I assume midnight on 11/30 (which is a Friday).
I expect we'll get details on this from someone before then.
Agua Man lvl 48 Water/Electric Blaster
"To die hating NCSoft for shutting down City of Heroes, that was Freedom."
It would be nice to get a firm date that we could trust but I'm going to go ahead and download the client again today just in case it all goes down far sooner than anyone thinks it will.
Be well, people of CoH.
They probably haven't worked out those details yet. I'm doubtful that it will happen at midnight though, more likely in the afternoon or evening. IIRC that would be in line with other MMO's that NCSoft has cancelled.

One EU, one US.
Server turnoff for each region was at Midnight of the *following* day (of the server)... so you would have till effectively 23:59 of 30th November to play. It was how I managed to take part in both the EU and US closing server events.
For CoX, it would probably be due US time based (Seeing as that is where the servers are located)... however i can see them doing an EU Midnight shutdown, so that the staff can get hammered that night.
It will not go beyond 12/1 as of now.
Soon�
Given that Paragon Studios was closed, I wonder if NCsoft will even care to keep the servers up until the 30th of November. It's a target date, but seems to me like if they got rid of the devs they'd get rid of all support personnel long before.
As I understood it, It was 'no later than' not 'it will happen this day'. That was just my impression.

Been wondering this myself ... Not to mention server maintenance that's costing them money, and not making them money.

And what time zone?
Remember the ruckus when they started testing the Freebie Friday giveaways using 12 AM BST British Standard Time.
So will NCSoft use PDT, EST, BST, or even KST or some other time zone.

Yeah, I was wondering that, too! And they should give us not only an exact day but an exact time (in specified time zones so we can convert if need be), too, so we can make sure to be there.|

With the totally crappy way they have treated Paragon Studios and CoH's player base, it's the least they can do.
