Uh, no news is good news?
We have heard that people from Paragon and investors were in talks with NCSoft about the future of the game. From a red name.
No red name has made any follow up post to the effect that any such talks have fallen through.
So, safer to assume they're still in progress. Businesses don't discuss ongoing negotiations.
No news = good news.
Also, people playing other games is fine. It's possible to play more than one game. If the game is saved, they're sure to hear about it and drop back in.
I've been playing CoH on and off since it started. Usually kept my sub running though.

You know what always makes me feel better?
Logging into Paragon City and beating the snot out of something.
I'll be exercising that option as long as it is available to me.

Ok, you get a free pass. But the rest of you....

no news = no news
Not necessarily good news. Talks may have failed and NC refused to release the IP but the devs can't tell us that because there may be an NDA. (though I don't fully understand if an NDA would work like that)
[/negative nancy]
I sure hope the silence is good news though. Still... it would be nice to hear from the devs. A hello or how that staff dinner was. Understandably, they are busy though.

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.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Aren't the marches, rallies, and the Posi runs supposed to be morale boosters? You know, on top of keeping server activity up, which indicates how much the game is still in use despite the looming doom.
For further morale boosting, as was pointed out in another thread, Posi HAS NOT answered the lore questions. It's been about a week since he originally planned to release them. Considering that plot spoilers would only be released for a absolutely doomed game and we're not getting said spoilers.... you get the idea.

When I saw that game lore thread it gave me a feeling of dread.
Hopefully Posi won't have any reason to actually answer those questions.

He could have been told that he wasn't allowed. People get weird about IP.
Be well, people of CoH.

Possible, but I would think he would have told us he wasn't going to be able to do it. That's why I see things as being in flux since he hasn't posted either a "can't do it" nor a "haven't had time, will try next week" statement.

Telling you now what I've thought for ages;
Please, for other peoples sakes, type English right will you? The majority of people I played with in CoH were from non-English countries like Finland and Sweden, people like Sam Tow are from middle Europe, and they type it better than most English people I know.
You have no excuse. Fething hell.

I saw in another thread that he had answers written and was waiting on executive signatures. That doesn't sound good to me, and I was actually really optimistic about the answers not being given yet until I read that. Sorry, I don't remember exactly what post it was in but I'm pretty sure it was here on the forums.

My understanding is that execs won't sign off on releasing spoilers for something that isn't already doomed. While yes, there are more factors than just "Is it doomed?" it's STILL a good sign. As for having them written up, that's just polite. And probably not time consuming at all given that he would have the current lore bible on hand.

He has mentioned that he has a learning disability. he has previously quit the forums over people yelling at him about this, and you know what, at least he is trying. It is not that hard to tell, and most people have the basic human decency to not act like an *** to him over it.
