(Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?)

I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

As has been mentioned, even if it's true and negotiations with Paragon ultimately fell through, that doesn't mean that things are over. It just means that we have to approach the problem from a different angle. We move on to Plan 'x'.

...can we at least hit up plans B-W first? >.>;

...not feeling much of an 'ouch' really. Mostly a bemused "...really? you're going to try that?" here.

That's the most rational approach, I think: await confirmation.
Absolutely.

I didn't even bother reading the whole thing, but you guys can think about it, if you want.   8)

I was going for a variable, because I didn't know if we were on plan B yet. o_o I thought plan A was trying to rescue Paragon before some staffers moved elsewhere. I think Cryptic has already hired some at the very least.

I also want to say...
Way to go, everyone involved with the SaveCoH movement! Thank you!

We may not have gotten the words we wished to hear today, but we positively created the situation for NCSoft to actually deliver us a response.

I doubt we're done trying to change the minds of the people behind these decisions.

Again though, let's wait and see what more we hear from other parties that would have been involved in these "exhausted" efforts.

Assuming that's a response to me, I was noting that "candidate" literally had a quote of that NCSoft response and the line "Ouch!" as his very first Titan Networks post.

It was, and your point is why I didn't give it any attention.  If it's not a troll (unicorn?), it's at least someone who didn't bother doing the reading. :)

I'm not changing my opinion until I see something here from VV, Tony, or Brian, unless someone with an established connection to the devs chimes in.  All of this is what they want, otherwise, assuming it is misinformation. The only thing I did like was the nuclear graphic that followed the first post. That made me snicker.

It sounds like complete rubbish.  "Exhausted ALL"....??   


Sounds to me like they're saying "How do we politely tell them to shut the heck up?"

Now we need to avoid Step 5. You know. The one where they shoot you with a revolver at close range. (that's a joke, I seriously doubt NCSoft is evil enough to hire HITMEN to kill us.)

I'm not normally one to start speculating on such things...but a guy with only one post on the Titan Networks, and it's this, after said link had been given and commented on for a page or so worth of "let's wait and see..."

Interesting.

VERY interesting, if one thinks about it deeper still...
I feel like I should point out that several other first time posters have popped up after that announcement, though most were of the positive variety.
