At one time when I was measuring distances to to get to places by the train and into IP and Bricks, I discovered that Brickstown by the manual measurements of the zone and distances between the gates to Kings Row and Brickstown from the IP zone... Brickstown is partially subducted under Kings Row :p
Well, the gates lead to connecting highways that aren't necessarily 100% straight lines, or all the same length. We just skip them because who wants more travel time? The in-game world map showed the connections.

Before this thread started, I used to check ihe "New Efforts" thread several times a day for news. These days, I find myself only interested in seeing if the new "The Deal's a Done Deal" kind of thread has been started yet, and new comments on "Arrow", "The Flash", "Gotham" and "Agents of SHIELD". This site's getting a lot less traffic from me than it used to. (Not that I'm blaming this thread. I figure that it helped me to see that it'll still be quite a while yet before it's done.)
Linux. Because a world without walls or fences won't need Windows or Gates.

I can wait as long as it takes.  :'(

But that doesn't mean my taunt finger isn't itching!

I agree, the suspense is royally killing me! lol Though, if you look at this way, at least there's something to be impatient about. Because if it wasn't for the guys doing what they're doing (awesome work btw, ultimately grateful) we wouldn't have anything to look forward to, and we'd have no hope at all, because no one would be working their butts off to get the game back, so as much as its annoying, and driving me insane, it also makes me happy that someone is doing something for the CoH community that miss the game so much. :)

I envision the negotiations were going like this:

Buyers to NCSoft:  "I think this game should be condemned. There's serious metal fatigue in all the load-bearing members, the wiring is substandard, it's completely inadequate for our power needs, and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone."

Meanwhile on the Titan forums and Facebook threads we were all like:
"Hey! Does this pole still work? .....Wow! This place is great! When can we move in? You gotta try this pole! I'm gonna get my stuff. Hey, we should stay here, tonight. Sleep here...you know, to try it out."

And they'd really rather we stopped talking until the deal is signed

Haha!  Thanks for my first belly-laugh of the day.   :D   This was great.

Since I just got home from seeing this movie playing at my local theater, I know exactly what you mean!

Sooo.... I wonder if doing a deal for NCSoft is going to sound more appealing to them now that they're doing a whole bunch of layoffs....

More money in their pockets to sell a dormant title....just sayin'.... ;)

Sadly no.  The layoffs are carbine and the coh sale, which means the world to us, is chump change to NcSoft.  The sale will happen...

One might also say that if they sell CoH that they could enrich the lives of many happy PAYING CoH gamers......
In fearful COH-less days
In Raging COH-less nights
With Strong Hearts Full, we shall UNITE!
When all seems lost in the effort to bring CoH back to life,
Look to Cyberspace, where HOPE burns bright!

That, my friend, is anti-hero basics.
