Haha, Jagx.
Seriously though, I'd not give up hope at all. Now, I'm just in the same boat as everyone else and know nuffink... But...
I think it's highly possible that you'll have CoH on your screen again, whether it be private servers or it actually gets officially sold/purchased and revived.
I believe those to be high possibilities,
but even high possibilities
might not come true, so... we wait... we see... we do what we can. I am encouraged any time I hear people say "people are working on it", but we'll see.
I've said, since day one of the announcement, that I can't really imagine the game not showing up somewhere, somehow down the line. And I am not changing my tune yet.
Patience is a virtue... justice, freedom, triumph, victory, protector... etc.
