Hello! As you can see in the last Lore AMA post (
https://www.cohtitan.com/forum/index.php?topic=12509.msg216915#msg216915) the last two years did not have an AMA. This was pretty much due to waning interest from all parties (only 8 questions in the last official one that was held, and devs moving on / remembering less).
But it ****MIGHT**** be worth exploring a new one for the 15th anniversary, because 15 is one of those neat anniversary numbers, and there's been a big surge in CoH interest these last few days (
).
There are two concerns that I have with anyone trying to reach out for a new AMA (I say "anyone" because I was never the person that contacted Posi, I only collected the results):
1. There may not be enough questions to make it worth the time. To see if that's a problem, go ahead and post lore questions here! You can see the previous AMAs here:
https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lore_AMA and a sorted version (unfinished) here:
https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lore_AMA/Sorted2. This next point is my biggest problem. It would be easy to make the *wording* of the AMA something like "hey, 15th anniversary, that's a big date, let's get some questions answered." But the obvious undertone would be "hey, we can continue developing the game now, let us know what we should do." My concern is that asking devs to answer an AMA at this point in time might put them at risk of being associated with continued development of the game via private servers. Obviously that's something only the devs can address, since they're the ones potentially at risk, and who know what the contracts they signed say they can and can not do. Plus, the existing AMAs have a TON of good stuff to work from... PLUS there was always the caveat that the entirety of their content could be ruled null and void to ensure the future storyline continued to be surprising and suspenseful.
Anyways, if anyone has thoughts, let the forums know!
