Hello there!
First of all - greetings and salutations
I've posted on these forums once a few months back, but I literally check Titan nearly everyday just to get the latest scoop on where we are in reviving our City of Heroes.
You guys rock. I applaud all your efforts. I miss this game like woah. <insert hug here>
Anywho - a couple threads down you'll see a topic that was started by @Knight Light regarding NCSoft's new investment in the San Diego based gaming development company Molten Games, Inc. I checked out their website, their Facebook (as I'm sure most of you did) and saw some of the comments people were leaving on their status updates/photos.
Would it be worth it to perhaps start a 'petition' (for some reason I hate that word) or perhaps just make EFFORTS in trying to convince Molten Games to look into reviving COH now that they have a direct partnership with NCSoft?
Feel free to let me know how great/horrible this idea is, because truthfully I'm quite the nuber when it comes to such things as coming up with ways to bring a game back from the dead. HOWEVER...truth time? Even if Google were to have a positive reaction to what I'm sure was a fantastic sales pitch (they haven't responded yet, have they?) we would still have that inconvenient truth of an obstacle that is
NCSoft's unwillingness to sell the IP. I may be completely wrong here, but I'm inclined to suspect that NCSoft would be MORE willing to look into bringing a game back with a new potentially western-driven gaming company - whom they have just recently decided to directly finance - as opposed to selling the IP to another company all together. While they have never brought a game back nor sold an IP...I think they would sooner do the former as opposed to the latter, given the specifics of the circumstance.
Also...I can absolutely see why people wouldn't want to do this because this would mean COH would remain in the hands of NCSoft - which, obviously, isn't the ideal for ANY of us. But...truth time part II? I would rather see NCSoft bring back COH than have them just sit on the IP so as no one can ever play the game again. Or, if you've moved on to another game or you're more interested in checking out TPP or Valiance, that's cool too!
Everyone has a right to feel how they wanna feel. I just wanted to get a discussion started here. I'm trying to gauge how naive I'm being, haha
