My well wishes go out to the Paragon team that is trying to establish communications with NCSoft and its execs. Hopefully something can be established and worked out.
I'm allowing this to be a hopeful message without getting my hopes up.
Thanks, Golden Girl, for posting it.

It's not like Paragon Studios has a static staff. People have come and gone over the course of its existence (even just in the two years I've been following the game), including major players like BAB and Castle.
So if a few don't come back, it'll still work out. (If it works out at all, of course. My optimism is still very very cautious)
Thanks GG.
I was not able to log in the game since friday.
Im too sad for that.
I just hope they can keep the IP and go as an indie studio till they look for a worthy company.
So much good stuff was coming to just surrender. And they were also working in another MMO.
Cross fingers!
If "Investors" happen to read the forums, I know I, for one, would gladly pay double what I am paying now to keep my account alive, and would also fund a "lifetime" subscription, similar to that other Super Hero game, to fund start up capital. I know there are many more like me.
I don't hold out a lot of hope, but I really appreciate you posting this GG. Sometimes a tiny glimmer of hope is all that is needed. We are heroes (and villains) after all and have fought off hoards of enemies with less.
Woohoo!
Err I mean,
Oh this is very interesting news please keep me informed.
Squeeeee!!!

Dear Universe, whatever good luck, positive karma, or anything I might have... please give it to Paragon Studios. My job search can wait... it's just me and John. But some of the developers have families, and I'd rather they be taken care of first.
Kay? Please? Thanks.

You can do it Paragon!
My hope is to see GG hit 100,000 posts in the next couple years. Fingers crossed! Thanks for the . . . tidbit.
tulga and vitruim games as well. of istaria. They have ben hanging on with a fraction of our player-base.

(great, now I gotta watch that again!) |
This is the perfect time to finally post this once I remembered it. If anyone's watched all of the recent Jim Carrey "Horton" movie, will fully understand We are here, we are here, WE ARE HERE!
