OK, what now? I need a private server or the ability to run my own.

...I had to, couldn't resist it. :)

Thank you.  This made my morning!  ;D

I would just like to make it known that I am a fan of private messages :D

[healix]

[private message] ok, digi...we'll remember that :D

[Lightslinger]

This has been my soapbox from the beginning of the end, NCsoft is determined to permanently mothball CoH and a private server is our only option.

So...send something or not? Is that how this works? ...or not?

I just wanted to say the derailment of the thread and the pictures that it prompted made me giggle at my computer screen like a crazy person. Thanks. I needed that.  ;D

On topic, I've always found it extremely interesting that, when pretty much every other MMO has a private server (including a little known one called Phantasy Star Online), this one didn't. I think I felt the loss that much more because of it. From what I've been reading about the way NCSoft is, it makes sense.

I don't know if there will ever be a private server, but for me the "what now" is simply gratitude that there's a place I can go to like this. You guys give me lots of interesting reading material.

I don't need to be on any PM list. I need to be able to play with CodeWalker's dots like a game of Tetris. Please. Pretty please?

[mikoroshi]

play with CodeWalker's dots

I am not sure that kind of erotic talk is appreciated here. ;P

Heh! I love you guys.

Okay, the "high road" is to convince NCSoft it's in their best interests to sell. We're using both carrot (pitching to bring offers) and stick (pissin' in their cereal.)

The "low road..." I understand NCSoft's trampled on prior attempts. However, if within the period of time it would take to set up the low road (let's say two years,) they continue to be recalcitrant, we might have to explore... other options.

As "the low road" would pacify us, they might actually leave us alone, rather than stir up the hornet's nest all over again. If they do bother us... we'll burn that bridge when we come to it.

We'd have full power.  Roll back I-13 PVP changes? Can do. Tail-capes? Can do.

So... I say damn the torpedoes. Best of luck to y'all brave programmers on... whatever y'all are doing.

What...? Still too obvious? I could delete that if it's still too obvious.

Ok, here's the plan.

We are going to collect enough money to buy CoH. But we aren't going to buy it. We are going to buy an island that is not currently in any country. Then, we are going to put reverse engineered CoH servers there and market it as our own MMO. It'll be great. We'll be untouchable and spitting in NCSoft's face.

Seriously though, they would make a movie about that.  :roll:

Before we buy the island, can we pull a Matthew Inman (of The Oatmeal) and take a picture of the money, stacked neatly, with a caption that reads "Look at all this money you're never going to have"? >.>

Since we're dreaming big, I got dibs on Scarlett Johansson playing me (IF she keeps the red hair she had in The Avengers). https://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa341/xXPixieBratXx/Forum%20Smileys/Emoticons_07_by_Senior_X.gif
