Wow! This is... better than I thought we might get, even though I know it's not a done deal.
I kind of hoped that i24 might be on the table, but I did not expect that to be the case. I kind of assumed that, if the game were going to come back, it would probably be in maintenance mode. Again, that's okay with me. Even without having character data, I'm actually okay with it. A part of me would even kind of enjoy starting from scratch. We would all be in it together, supporting each other on the climb back to 50.
What I did NOT expect was the inclusion of APR, CoT, etc etc etc. To me, that is a HUGELY wonderful thing! How I read that was that yes, CoH would come back in i23 maintenance mode, but then we would know that it was working its way onto UE4 for a semi-but-not-quite-sequel. Based on the stuff I've seen of APR, it would be in pretty great hands. I am praying so hard to see this go through. Honestly, I think it would be a great deal.
Thank you, to those of you who have been working so hard to get us this far. I hope to see you in the City, to have the opportunity to team up with you or just express my thanks in-game.
Thank you, Irish-Girl; you have been so good at answering everyone's questions, and your work with APR is lookin' solid so far!
Thanks Nate/downix, for the update on where we stood. I was getting antsy, but now that I have a sense of where we're going I can wait a little longer.
And thank you to everyone else who has been instrumental to the NCSoft deal getting this far!
To celebrate, I will listen to the CoH soundtrack all day at work today! Especially that Ouroboros music. Love me that Ouroboros music (watched the Ouroboros APR recreation on youtube this morning).
