Make no mistake.  CoH will close on the 30th.  There is no way we can stop that.

This is a crazy, long-shot, attempt to revive it. 

Team Wildcard has been baking our brains on this for most of a week.  I know it has stretched all of our abilities to the limit and a little over.  We're probably insane to try it--and no, it does not involve any fund-raising on anyone's part, because none of us are venture capitalists or know the first thing about running a game studio.

But if we don't try this, we are all going to be sitting around "what-if"ing ourselves until the heat-death of the universe.

Stay tuned.

Running a Game Studio would still be needed if Plan Z goes on.  Just a matter of when Titan network becomes Titan Studios in more then just ideas.

I know my brain is recovering from the shock with a soothing cup of tea. It's not often it has to work that hard.

Long shot, one shot... bah.

To quote Skold Greypelt... "Making it count is all that matters!"

We were heroes. We were villains. At the end of the world we all fought as one. It's what we did that defines us.
The end occurred pretty much as we predicted: all servers redlining until midnight... and then no servers to go around.

Somewhere beyond time and space, if you look hard you might find a flash of silver trailing crimson: a lone lost Spartan on his way home.

I thought the obvious quote was...
"Given the choice between slim and none, I'll take slim any day."

Eagerly awaiting updates!

I'm excited.  Even if it's a slim chance, I can't wait to see what it is.

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."

You're completely wrong. NCSoft has to know exactly how to run a game studio; there's no way that they could be acting so precisely diametrically opposite to the way a game studio should be run without knowing how to do it right.

Do not ascribe to Bizarro-level contrariness what can better be explained by comical ineptitude.
