If Jack gets the game back from NCSoft, does that mean that Statesman will be revived from the dead as well? (grin) Seems quite in keeping with the genre.
I had no personal gripes against the man, after all, it was his game to begin with, and those who chose to leave, left. I hated what ED did to my builds, but adjusted to fit the new reality.
As a matter of fact, I had quite a bit of respect for the team who beat the late 90's early 00's SuperHero game curse, after so many failed attempts to get a decent game out.
Heh, looking at the Wikipedia entry for City of Heroes, I just had to laugh at this:
"Computer Gaming World hailed the game saying "City of Heroes blows a super powered gust of fresh air into an increasingly stale sword-and-sorcery MMO world" in August 2004."
Has the air in the MMO world gotten any fresher since then? I don't think so.
Besides, if the Emmert CoH revival becomes a PW-style P2W money pit, well, there are groups who are working on alternatives, and I will take advantage of them ASAP.
