Personally, yes, I've plenty of faith. Because of the NDA, no news is good news, for realz, because if the deal had fallen through, they'd be free to say so. And since they haven't... need I say more?
In the meantime, we've been given back our home with Paragon Chat, a totally unexpected gift from Codewalker and his team, dedicated members of the CoH Community. It feeld so good to explore the zones, fly through the city, and talk with other players.
As for the successor games, I'm looking forward to them as well. I know they're being designed by people who loved CoH, and I'm excited to see what they offer when they're far enough along in development for playtesting.
