It seems that:

'Position: NorCal Studio General Manager/City of Franchise Executive Producer '

is still in communications and negotiations with NCSoft regarding our plight. Reference taken from comment at cohtitan and reposted here. Someone may have beaten me to the punch, but as of 1 hour ago when I initially tried to open this new thread, there was none here.

Agreed. But I am amazed at what the players have accomplished so far. It's good to know that if it doesn't pan out, it was not without a fight!

Well, I'll be damned. Now I understand what they're negotiating... Risky as it may result in a gap period before service is restored... And it would leave NCsoft to go their own way but...

IT. COULD. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORK...!

I wonder if Matt Miller and the others can't run the game by themselves if NCsoft sold them the rights? Probably not realistic, but I'd stick with it, new content or not.

I *think* they're trying to legally uncouple the studio and all its assets from NCsoft/NCwest so it becomes it's own separate legal business entity (assuming NCsoft agree to relinquish "ownership" over several pieces of... "stuff." The negotiations would require a hard separation date between companies (for a variety of reasons) but that August 24th cutoff date for refunds is *very* telling.

Plenty of complications and financial implications arise from this kind of transaction (not accounting for global legalities as well) and there's a chance the game could be "inaccessible" after November 30th until such time as service is restored...

Tricky and I'm oversimplifying all the legalities and risks involved to do something like this, but I think NCsoft's intent to provide refunds is a pretty good reason to stay hopeful.

If this actually goes down as described, and I truly hope it does, then I'd resub hard.

And then harass the living hell out of Mr. Miller to fix solo incarnate progression. So, hey, he's got that to fight for as well!


Be well, people of CoH.

Sorry, I see the phrase "dance of joy" and this is the only one I ever think of (not one of the two linked above).

I was already sub hard but I'd definitively spend money to buy every power set I don't have unlocked. Likely do the same with costume pieces I don't own, if only as a way to inject some money into the new venture.

Keep in mind, this *has* to be a win/win for NCsoft especially otherwise they won't let it happen. I'm sure "no news is good news" means they have Finance and Legal probing every angle to ensure there's no unforeseen liability and that such a separation only helps NCsoft's bottom line look stronger next quarter (which it will if this is all handled correctly...).

Of course the deal could still fall apart but it's ok to be cautiously optimistic at this point now that an arbitrary cutoff date for refunds has been assigned.
