First of all I would like to thank your entire team and everyone involved. I would also like to thank everyone at NCSoft for being so understanding and willing to cooperate with the team attempting to purchase the game.
Now I have a comment and I seriously do not want anyone to get upset, because I am incredibly excited at the prospect of us getting our game back. But there is something that seriously bothers me.
Based upon what I have read, (if) we get our game back, it stays at Issue 23. Period. No updates at all. No fixes for client bugs, nadda, zit. When Windows 9 is released, and it (maybe) doesn't work. We're done, we can not play anymore (if we upgrade to Win 9 of course.). This is incredibly disturbing to me as it essentially means that the game is being revived to (in my eyes) die (probably) within a year, as we expect Windows 9 to come Spring of next year.
Now there is obviously another way to look at this, the game is revived temporarily while we move over to whatever you would like to call CoT+Atlas Park Revival, CoH 1.5 as it is being referred to. That's great and I seriously look forward to that, and will most likely play it. I've been an avid supporter of CoT since the beginning. Here is my concern.
We now have three games. We have CoH, then we have CoT, then we have CoT plus Atlas Revival. We have City of Heroes which isn't getting any new players because of guaranteed no content updates, added on to the lack of support on newer operating systems.
I personally am just not convinced that this is going to work out well. I can't fully express why but I am uneasy about playing the game for a year then going through the same stuff we went through exactly 2 years ago. I am not convinced that any port to UE4 will still feel like City of Heroes. It might, and perhaps the different games that spawn will be even better than City of Heroes. But I do not think it will be City of Heroes.
I am sorry if what I have typed is somewhat vague, and please understand I am not attempting to spark an arguement or insult anyone working on any of these projects. I am extremely happy and grateful at what our community has accomplished in the past two years and will never give up on it. I will play City of Titans, whatever City of Titans + Atlas Revival comes to, if it does, and I will of course play City of Heroes shall it be re-opened. I will give all of them my support.
