When are the private servers going to be made open information for all to play on? Not just a select few of the chosen people that certain individuals feel "deserve" to continue to play in a world we all love?
Really now, this has gone on for almost 2 years now. It was going to become public knowledge at some point. Let's do the right thing and let everyone back in please.
Thanks Tony.I totally agree with you IW and Tony, I got angry last night when someone posted #privateserver and it came from the same person who caused problems last year.
If there is a private server - good! I would rather have a public server, but I like the idea someone is playing the game somewhere.
To those who only want a free ride a private server that would completely waste the time and money of the people trying to legally buy the game and continue to run it above board - go to hell.
I want the IP and the game back and in a legal way that can't be snatched away from us. Do you want to play the merry-go-round of building constantly on the next server that NCSoft hasn't shutdown with a C&D letter yet? The short sightedness and entitlement mentality continues to amaze me.
I hope a Dev did walk off with the code and if a deal with NCSoft can be reached, that said Dev would supply the code to the appropriate party.
All or none.... we feel ALL should have access to this private server.... OR NO ONE
Watching it burn sounds fun
Do you want to play the merry-go-round of building constantly on the next server...?
Now, having said all of that, I have consistently said that there is a possibility that one of the devs might have managed to get their hands on the code before the shutdown. I'll even concede that there might be a private server out there. If so, then more power to them, and I hope that eventually whoever has access to the code will see fit to release it.
entitled trolls and psychotics with no touchstone to reality.The net is full of them. Trust me on that.
The net is full of them. Trust me on that.I know what you mean. I have people who still believe that either CoT is nearly done and we are holding back access to people, or that no work has been done and it's just a scam. There is no middle ground.
This "EVERYONE MUST HAVE IT OR IT SHOULD BURN" garbage is just entitled tinfoil hats acting out their butthurt at not being part of something they are ABSOLUTELY SURE has to exist.
I've dealt with this sort of people myself, including a few who decided that since the name of a project I was working on was announced, then they must have immediate access to it and threatening me is the way to get it.
At the time when the project was not even in alpha yet, just a nebulously defined goal and a registered domain name.

I've heard from people in contact with "The Source" that they're taking credit about Paragon Chat being released now, and that clearly by raising such a ruckus, they ensured it was released to appease them. Which is absolutely insane. I've been teasing that Paragon Chat was coming since December, and the intended release date was April 28th for the anniversary. No amount of obnoxious posting in Facebook would make it happen any faster.
I am pretty sure that anyone reasonable will accept that we have a private server for testing code before we release it. We brought Shannon Doyle on it for the latest article and interview and you can see in the screenshots that the chatserver for Pocket D broke while she was on it, so, yeah, still bugs to sort out. We want to release something public when we know it works, not something half-baked that breaks every time you zone.

When, in Tony's words, it starts to seem like there's "Elites" being allowed access when the common man isn't, like for example early chat server access in"Soon""Paragon Chat", people who aren't selected are going to be a bit jealous at first. Then comes "Why wasn't I picked?"
Thankyou Tony for clarifying that there /ARE NO COX SERVERS HERE/.
If they exist they exist elsewhere run by other people who have not contacted us.doesn't matter anyways, it was probably just a prank site made by trolls.Spoiler for Hidden:
Hey google and yahoo I know your bots are reading this, it would be really handy to have a date tag system on search results so we can search by date. "show only results that were available on day/month/year"
I know google has web cache logs up the wazoo recording this info from the beginning of the olden days of web traffic. put it to use already!
I have it on good authority it was a phishing site, designed to get access to your computer and steal your personal data. Desperate people do desperate things.
Actually that one's real, just not very functional. Google CoH SEGS. They've got...something.That's still around? *sighs*

I know there was a similar thing--NOT SEGS--that claimed to have I4 up and running and immediately planted spyware on clicking. It got shut down fairly fast, thanks to some ace work on the part of Titanites.

Last I heard, Nemerle had thrown in the towel on SEGS due to lack of interest from other developers after several years of working on his own. Maybe he'll get involved once the Paragon Chat source is released. The low level stuff is the hardest and that's finally (mostly) taken care of.

There were many times I wished I could reach out to him and offer my help, but while the game was running in some ways I was the only person on Earth who *couldn't* help him with a clear conscience. An outsider could do anything. An insider could make an informed decision as to whether or not to help him. But I had access to insider information that I couldn't possibly get informed consent to pass onto a reverse engineer. It would have been extremely unethical for me to get information from the devs and pass it onto him for SEGS when they had no idea I was doing that. Since I couldn't very well ask, I couldn't get involved either. It was an extremely tight knot I couldn't find a way to untangle to my satisfaction.
