Hitstreak? Anyone? Any chance we can get the chalet back until close?

Yes, please, Please, PLEASE reopen the chalet.
It's my favorite place in CoX and it's where I planned to be when the servers go dark.
Please?

Pretty please, with sugar on top?

GMs don't have the ability to do this; only coders do, an they're gone. The chalet closed when the winter event stopped, and this can't be changed.
The only possibility is that, if any of the devs still have GM powers attached to their accounts, and the accounts are still open, they can go to the D on a specific time and teleport you into the chalet.
The Chalet has been open during most of this time since the announcement, so it's clear that it can be reopened without coding.
Whether it will or not, I'm not hopeful. Apparently AP33 is no longer being recreated either.

Sadly, I believe Interface may be right. I was in Virtue Pocket D after CoH's closure was announced and one of the "Red Names" appeared and threw a massive party that included Nemesis Ponies, Fighting of Hami, dozens of AV's and even a trip to the Old Paragon Dance Party. Yes I have screen shots so it did happen |

. The "Red Name" also opened up the Ski Chalet on VIRTUE. He was asked if he could please open it on other servers, but he implied that he lacked the access to do so.Either way I hope someone can restart the Ski Chalet.
PS. Special Thanks to the "Red Name" for that party, It made the bad news a little easier for me and my friends to take.
That was Arbiter Hawk. He spawned 16 Statesmen in Paragon Dance Party for the 50+ people there to fight. Then we danced our pixelated @sses off.
AP33 is back once again. And through a reliable middleman, it appears that the Chalet is being worked on.
So what exactly is the AP33? My search-fu is weak, sensei.

Well if you've ever gone to a monorail or a ferry and occasionally you see more than one of a certain zone... "Atlas Park" "Atlas Park 2" etc. The servers limit how many characters can be in one zone, to prevent computers from melting down and player bandwidth from getting overloaded.|

When the Unity Rally to keep CoH running happened back in September, it was done by everyone going to Atlas Park and holding torches. This made it necessary for Virtue server to create 33 different Atlas Park zones to handle the load.

As Tim said, we got up to Atlas Park 33 on Virtue - and then the server just wouldn't let more people log in. People stayed in AP33 after the rally, to keep it alive. On the next server reboot for maintenance, one of the existing staff recreated it (not sure who did it the first time). Since then, after the server reboots for some reason, someone recreates Atlas Park 33 and people stay in there when afk, holding the torch.|

This was a few more days than normal, but GM_Lloyd (I think) recreated it.

Also check out Leandro's creation, based on the same event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRsj2DtLCQs
Well I was afraid this was going to happen when the winter event ended. It automatically closed the chalet even though it's been available ever since Oct 1.
Is there any chance of getting it opened again?
