I also suspect that a few of the most prolifically negative and unlikable forum posters are using this situation as a coping mechanism for some grave losses they've hinted at in the rare post here and there over the past couple of months. I'm basing this off the realization that none of this has ever made me want to frame my posts with details about the friends and family members I've mournfully buried, think of often and miss dearly. For the negative posters, despite all of their nasty and negative posts, I pity them and hope this has at least been helpful for them in some way, and not just another avenue for them to deal with the root of their pain by not dealing with the root of their pain, letting anger and apathy infest them a little more with every post.
P.S. A few people have sent PMs in the past week and I'm sorry and apologize that I haven't answered back. My computer spent a few nights in pieces, while I cannibalized my computer case and fans to build an entirely new system, then a bad cold, then work, then a couple new games to test the new rig out on, have majorly distracted me during this week. I have been reading these forums and the Titan forums every night on my Android so I'm not out of the loop on anything, but I can't log into the forums via my Android for some reason. I did not mean to blow anyone off, especially two of my biggest Paragon heroes who asked for some feedback about things.
P.P.S. This also means I need to know where to download the most recent client for City of Heroes.

I think you and HoneyBadger should do running commentary on movies, like MST3k
And, yes BP, she can put a few phonebooks on her seat.

I'm actually not much for toast in general. DON'T FLOG ME, I AM SORRY! I just prefer bread in its less tanned form.
...OH MY GOD I AM RACISTS AGAINST BREAD!

I think this thread is the saddest thing that's happened to CoH... INCLUDING the close down...

"I have something to say! It's better to burn out then to fade away!"
NCSoft stock has dropped over 25% since the third quarter results came out last week with the volume of stock being traded over 10x normal the first day.
When Aion had it's first full quarter of sales revenue 1Q 2009, it earned more than either Lineage or Lineage II while those games maintained their previous quarters revenues. Year over year 1Q sales went up 50%. YoY 1Q profit went up over 300%. At the beginning of 2009, their stock was only at 55,000 a share. Due to all the positive buzz, by the time the 1Q 2009 report came out, the stock already tripled in price to 179,000 in only five months.
Blade & Soul's first quarter numbers painted a completely different picture. In it's first full quarter, the sum of sales revenue of Blade & Soul, Aion, Lineage and Lineage II in this quarter is within 1/2 of a percent of Aion, Lineage and Lineage II's sales revenue the previous quarter. It didn't add any new sales revenue but appear to swipe/shift it from the other three. Not good for a new "home market game".
Guild Wars 2 had higher sales revenue in it's first month than the whole quarter sales of any of the above four games. GW2 isn't necessarily a "home market game". The original Guild Wars did alright when it was pushing out paid expansions but once that stopped it's sales revenues fell dramatically. So I'm betting the analysts are looking at GW2 for only a few years of good sales instead of it being a long term source of revenue.
So institutions and other investors still holding onto NCSoft stock during the decline leading up to the release of the 3Q numbers, hoping they would be great with both new games adding revenue saw that didn't happen so they dumped it after riding it down from it's high in October of 2011 of 380,500. The stock closed Friday at 156,000.
As for the closure date, it was likely chosen solely to give a month to decommission/reassign the servers and for the accountants to dot the i's and cross the t's so CoH and Paragon Studio numbers don't run into 2013.
Now come here and hug me so we can get them to fight.
