refund = doom

Just got my emails from ncsoft.


So rather than letting me play the game they would prefer to give us our money back.

Basically this is something NCSoft would pretty much have to do. Regardless of whether the game was saved or not.

If CoH is licensed off or spun off or whatever, they'd still have to refund us.

Bank the money for now and, if/when it comes time that CoH rises under another banner, give them the money.

Remember, even if CoH was declared "saved" today, we'd probably be looking at some downtime in December anyhow. There's a LOT of systems in CoH that are tied to the NCSoft billing system. It's going to take some time and a bunch of programmers to decouple that.

Don't give up the ship yet. It's not sinking. It's simply releasing ballast.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Dear OP,

NCSoft does NOT want your money anymore. That's why they're shutting down the game. They made that decision clear on Aug 31, 2012.

I think you're not being counterproductive enough. Surely there's even more you can do to depress fellow players and alienate NCSoft executives during negotiations! You can by yourself destroy the game, you're already well on your way!

I thought it was kinda bad when they closed the studio, fired all the devs, and publically announced that the game had 3 months to live, but now that I'm getting a refund I'm REALLY worried!

Hello xxxxxx,

I apologize for the delay in our response; we have an unusually high ticket volume which we are working through as quickly as possible.

Your ticket has been escalated to me as a supervisor for NCsoft Account Support. Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding the recent announcement that City of Heroes will soon be discontinued. For fans of the game, including myself, this of course was not news that was well received.

Regarding your request for compensation, what I would like for you to do is keep this reply as a record of our conversation. Typically, when a game has run its full course and the decision has been made to end services and support for the game, a compensation package is rolled out to all those players who qualify or have remaining paid game time, point, or currency balances left on their game account. In the past, these packages have been very generous and have sometimes included complementary copies of other NCsoft games, depending on how much time or currency was left on the account in question.

Since the compensation package for City of Heroes has not yet been finalized, and I do not yet have authorization of offer compensation for the closure of City of Heroes, I would very much like for you to wait to see what the official offer will include. If what is offered is not up to your satisfaction, please reply to this message and we can address your request at that time.

Of course, if you have any questions in the mean time, please let me know and I'll be happy to address your questions to the best of my ability.

Thanks,

Oh, so this whole thing is just another graystar_blaster troll thread.

Cool story, bro.
