Once the forums are shut down..

Where is everyone going for any news on...anything City of? Future projects from the devs, rumors of NCSoft selling the IP, etc?

The Titan Network and Facebook wil be the best places for keeping up with the situation as it develops after December 1st.

There's also the SaveCoH radio stuff here. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/theelf

I don't know yet if Pogoman plans to continue the weekly broadcasts after shutdown, but I hope he does.

When the game is gone, I'll check the normal media spots, ABC, NBC, CNN, Buisness week and the likes for news about NCSoft and the sales but then, I wont be looking for rumors. Rumors will be treated about as factual as the the Sunday's paper comics are.
If stuff dont hit major stations, then it's below radar for me and I wont be interested then.

Already got a place lined up for Dec 1st, so when that time hits all of this will be another history section for the memories.

But as I said before, I hope Plan Z works out or IP thing or emulation or what ever other direction they may be going that day works out so that they have a place to stay.

I gues facebook and titan it is. Something tells me most of the major news media won't give to much coverage to NCSoft, or any other gaming company really.

I probably won't be glued to the screen for news but I'll be periodically checking out stuff in places I have bookmarked.

Alternatively just go to Google News or your search engine of choice, after Dec 1, set the date range to the past week, and see what comes up. If anything genuinely interesting happens post-apocalypse, it'll show up there. And if anything REALLY interesting happens, you probably won't even have to go looking for it. It'll find you.

The Titan Network is where I'll be for CoH continuation in some form or another (even just for forum chatting/community).

Good to see you have a little bit of hope.

Also...



Do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands.

Nothing.

Right now there is no MMO out there that remotely interests me. Unless a true CoH2 ever comes out I guess my CoH times is done. I have no interest in a spiritual successor or an emulation. Right now all of my friends are in GW2, but I didn't really like it much. ChO, DCUO, and SWTOR do not interest me as I doubt they will be around much longer. I MAY check out Marvel Universe Online...note MAY.

Regarding the forums; I have no plans. I'll check out a few MMO sites every now and then and that's about it.

I won't visit the Titan Network forums, but if I think about it I may occasionally check the main page on Paragonwiki since it seems to be the closest thing they have to a news page.

In order of frequency:

1. http://cityofheroes.deviantart.com/

Fan art, OC pictures, screenshots, and short stories are still being posted every day.

I've been posting a few screenshots..

Hopefully a commission involving the ultimate fate of one of my longtime OC's will be done.


2. http://wootlabs.thewebcomic.com/news/

Webcomic starring Square Woot, a character I first met in Virtue. The comic is enjoyable.

3. Titan Network on their progress towards making City of Heroes: Golden Age a reality.

(Yes, I actually want this.)

4. Paragon Wiki - as source material for a story I still intend to write after the closure.

Love to see what Positron is up to these days.

Stopped using Titan as a source of info a while ago. It seems to be to absorbed in anti NCSoft sentiment (which while some may feel is justified, is not something I really think is healthy nor do I want to be part of) and also with Plan Z, which whilst is a fine idea in theory, I've seen similar projects fall flat on their face after 6 months once the people involved really get a feel for the enormity of the project they're undertaking. Not bashing the efforts, just not pinning any hopes on it at this stage.

My source for info is, and will continue to be largely Twitter. I follow Massively, MMORPG.com and (ironically) The Titan Network as well as a few avid CoHers who will likely post such info when it becomes available. I tend to find it easier to distance myself on Twitter from the petty squabbles on forums, and I know I've been as guilty for getting drawn in to them as much as anyone else.

I stopped tweeting on #savecoh for the reasons I mentioned above, but I do still have it as a column on TweetDeck so I can keep tabs on any developments. (I'm @Volkanik70 on Twitter, in case anyone's interested :P )

Cheers fella.. don't really use Steam (only installed it to play Skyrim), but will return the twitter followage
