"This... this can't be happening. City of Heroes is still offline" remarked a dismayed Lucifer, referring to the recently icy conditions discovered on the road to hell. In related news, after an unsuccessful attempt to purchase the IP rights to City of Heroes, Richard Branson bought controlling shares of the game's publisher NCSoft. "City of Virgin" is now tentatively slotted for a late fall release.

ESRB has just announced that the title will earn the game an M rating, where as Branson has argued that it's more of a description of the majority of the intended players than the content.

when ESRB refused to change their rating, Branson suggested an implementation of Virgin Media's parental control internet blocking to censor the game for all audiences, ESRB still insisted the title alone is too lewd.
There is always another way. But it might not work exactly like you may desire.

A wise old rabbit once told me "Never give-up!, Trust your instincts!" granted the advice at the time led me on a tripped-out voyage out of an asteroid belt, but hey it was more impressive than a bunch of rocks and space monkies.

Virgin City would be a better name anyway, and it wouldn't acquire the "M" rating automatically either . . . maybe.

This just in,
imposter reporters have seized control of this network and are filling the airwaves with false stories about Kin Jung-ju.  Read at your own risk.

This just in,

The Titan Network will be shutting down.  That's right, TN has pulled the plug on the forum for the CoH community.  Insiders have failed to determine why TN will be shutting down.  When asked for comment, a spokeperson replied, "The community should be used to this sort of thing by now."

This just in,

In a surprise move Aggelakis was over-heard talking to a friend.  Aggy mentioned changing support for Bob Dole to John McCain.  When asked for comment, Bob Dole said, "Bob Dole doesn't need anybody, Bob Dole will be fine.  Mark Bob Dole's words, 'Bob Dole shall overcome.'"  Aggelakis was unavailable for comment.

IronWolf admits that there was a movement:

It sucks - but all involved have said in the recent past it is slow movement, but there is movement.

Fortunately he is talking about movement to get CoH back.

....  Why does this read like an ad for a laxative company?

On that line of thought, let's NOT get a laxative company to bring back City.

Yes, let's definitely not. Sewer missions could become intolerable.

This just in...

CodeWalker has announced the first Paragon Chat Expansion: Rularuu Rasa, to be released in July 2016. The expansion will include new zones Arieki and Foreas, accessible through doors in Portal Corp. Players will be able to chat between worlds after completing a mission from NPC Garriott who can be found quarantined in any hospital throughout Paragon and the Rogue Isles.
When asked to describe available details, CodeWalker revealed "Are you insane? Do you have ANY idea how much work something like that would take?".
Rularuu Rasa will be the first of many expansions planned for Paragon Chat, including the highly anticipated Paragon Chat: Warcraft.
"Don't drag my name into your hi-jinks" commented an excited Leandro.
Beta sign-up for the new expansion will be available upon request. More as the story develops...

This just in,

IronWolf and IronClad share the first 4 and 7th letters of their names.
This could be a coinsidice, or an evil plot.  If I know my superhero movies, it MUST be an evil plot.
Somehow, IronWolf and IronClad from Champs Online are working together to ...
DESTORY THE UNIVERSE!

(it all fits)

A quote from the THeM ...



Yeah, we're working hard to get City of Heroes back.





(Every time I look at this, I think that I can not top that one.  It's perfect.)

Update!

   The MMORPG known as City of Heroes was activated on a server under the control of NC Soft.  The THeM was told about the new URL and that the new server would be running the i24 game client.  During their jpyfull celebrations, NC Soft announced that the new game would be shut down, again, in minutes.  NC Soft responded to inquiries as to why the second shut-downby saying, 'Same as the first time, no reason <evil laugh />."
