Scott! Good to see you. Thanks for posting, and thanks for starting this whole thing off.

Thanks, Warcabbit! From your CoT updates, I get that you're very dedicated to the feel of CoH gameplay as I was, and it's too bad we didn't get the chance to work side by side over these two years.
Whatever I may have done to help get Plan Z rolling and make it seem real and achievable, I count that as time well spent. I wish that life hadn't stepped in the way of me playing a bigger part, but it brings a smile to my face every time this community gets past another inevitable tough choice or technical hurdle. It's great to see everyone steaming ahead, all charged up with engine software and volunteers and financing, and then recall those early days... an odd mix of "We can't let it end like this" anger/courage while the shutdown counter ticked to zero, trying to spread hope and confidence that one way or another the City would return. That we could eventually have the City back in 5 different incarnations would have been astonishing at the time, even more so that a Plan Z project begun with zero cash and no intent to approach NCSoft might end up connecting the right people and tactics for a TFHM win.
I can hardly wait to see these games, worlds, and characters [back] in action.
