It's been so quiet as of late I am wondering if there are enough people with VIP access left.
Well my event will be Nov. 2nd-4th and I've managed to collect over 50 promised gift artz from 30+
amazing artists to give as prizes so sound off if you are still around and up for some winning of teh free artz!

Otherwise I may have to host most of it on DA.

Well going on the population on Defiant during the day time and yes I know people are at work /school in the past I have never been the sole player logged on,and if there are any hidden I have not even seen those people moving around the maps.It would appear that 95% of the population have already left the game for pastures new.Checking Virtue earlier today 73 people showing on search that was about 12.30 gmt in the past there have been over 200 at around the same time.I will leave you to draw your own conclusions to these population numbers but as a thought if someone came along and managed to buy the IP from NCSoft how many would even come back now.

It depends if it comes back in it's current iteration or if it's City of Heroes 2. The game going away I have to imagine is the main driver of population decimation so the game returning I would think brings most of them (there was a lot of interest in the new issue that had many resubbing) and if it were to be a sequel I'd think everyone would be back to see what's new as well as lots of people who never played it before.

Virtue as that's where the 606's official base is. These days it's not hard to move a hero and even easier to move a costume for a contest with the save option to a different hero. The ongoing Halloween event will have the salvage for extra costume slots to boot.

Good to see. I'm playing a bit more lately just trying out things I never got around to. Also taking screenshots for the contest and character preservation.

Glad to see you still around Kat.
I'm honestly surprised more of the big collectors aren't paying attention to this... have you seen the list of artists?

I've not been in this section of the forums all that much, but I am here and definitely interested in this. It's great to see this wonderful aspect of this game's community continue and have a big hurrah.
I'd be very sad if there wasn't such a hurrah for all of the talent and interest in making our characters come alive outside of the game.

Thanks a ton for being the impetus behind this, ChristopherRobin.
I truly appreciate it!

I think most would come back if it's the same game. Never know the new rights owners may have other ideas and may change some stuff around but I think new players may come, if word actually gets out this time, at a rate that would replace those that wont return and grow than before. I think this time the old players would try harder to ensure success, even if it's just out of spite for NCSoft.

And that may one fear of NCSOft and a reason they are not too keen on selling.

Do anyone have any hard numbers of those offers anyways or just more speculation. Not even sure if anything truely reasonable was offered or not. NCSoft might have ran out of options at the negotiating stage depending on what teh offers were. Remember, as it seems to be held to be truth, that this was the most populated game that is to be shut down and that would add value to the IP. I guess to get some sort of figure that what the IP should have actually be sold at, have to look at what many other game's IP was sold at, tha twas smaller, had less people in the end, and was another game in an over filled genre. COX, as believed by many, is considered to be the only one of it's type, populated, large game so the value should be top notch. Maybe all the offers were actually low ball offers that no one, NCSoft or any buisness would accept.

Or maybe NCSoft was asking for too much. Without actual facts being released, actual facts, not speculations of one particular side, then who knows who is actually being unreasonable. It might have been the proposed buyers that were being unreasonable in thinking that NCSoft should and or would just take what ever chump change is in the back pocket.

Maybe NCSoft have plans in the future maybe not. Maybe they dont know yet.

My creative writing project has proven to be quite cathartic lately. Still here and logging in, although I've been in poor health. Protector has been quiet for a few years so the drop in population count in the past month hasn't spooked me much.

I'm popping in and out of forums. I really haven't had the heart to go in game lately- most of my SG mates have migrated to CO, and an old friend gave me a WoW subscription for my birthday this year...and yes, very upset at NCsoft for their actions.

I'm also doing NaNoWriMo this year, mostly to make myself write more-

But, still got my lurking license...

I don't have that much art, but I do write stories and I do collect art on
my DA account

I'm still here and artz is always good.

I just don't play as often as I should be with only 29 days left

More info to be posted to my journal and watch for new threads started
by me but briefly the event will be a series of mini contests taking place over the weekend.
Some will be here or in All Access, some on Deviant Art (so have a free account over there if you want in
on those) and some in-game. Some will be trivia or puzzles (first to answer correct wins) others will
be costume contests etc. Just keep your eyes peeled for new threads/journal posts by me over
the weekend and make sure to take good screenshots of your characters.
Good luck!

Looking at the schedule, you might want to specify which time zone.

Really wish you could break up the contests evenly so that people who work can participate in at least 2 events....
I have the perfect toon for the "metal" contest, oh well.

There will be dozens of little mini contests happening in 3 places (4 if you count in-game) over the span of 3 days.
Three costume contests per day (9 total) staggered 4-6 hours apart so people in all timezones can participate.
You can win art literally anytime between 10am -10pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Not sure how much more evenly I could break it up.

Indeed it is mentioned in the journal that I have a link to above but yeah I should say everywhere that it is CST.
Thanks for catching that DD.

Too far behind to catch up. Too tired to figure puzzles out. I was gonna take a shot at the number thread but you ran out of numbers before I wandered in.
