See, making stuff up is better.

Today it was annouced that NCSoft will begin talks with a group determined to purchase the shuttered MMO City of Heroes.  The group going by the name, 'The THeM', reportedly has raise over 300i in an attempt to buy the game.  NCSoft could not be reached for comment, but released a press statement calming responsivibility for the recent Iowain tornadoes.

How's that, Arcana?

Switch, apparently they ARE thinking about it - oddly enough, Statesman just showed up in another NCSOFT game 'Master X Master'.  No, I don't get it either.
I checked the date - it's not April 1st:

Err, NCSoft is clearly not thinking about rezzing CoH whatsoever, not that they ever seriously considered it anyway.   However, they're stupid to think they're going to draw CoH players into this thing by sticking a Statesman puppet into it, like that would ever be a viable substitute.  Good grief.

I don't believe there is any thought to CoH players whatsoever -- they just had a somewhat widely-known Super-Hero character that they owned in-house and found a use for the IP. 

From Nate Downs FB thread on this:

... Yep, which dispels rumors of a CoH buy out by anyone else.

It takes a village to raise a child. And it takes a villain to explain the value of lunch money.

Yes, he does. I always thought Disney Princes were more conservative in their language. He proved me wrong.  :P

Yes, it was quite something to hear in the theater. OTOH, it made it into the movie because it was esoteric and archaic enough that the vast majority of people, especially Hollywood execs, had never heard the word before, so most people in the theater had no idea why it was such a funny line to some of us.
So far so good. Onward and upward!

Hello,

Is there a new thread to this topic I'm not aware of? No one has said anything in over a year, or are efforts no longer ongoing?

I know I'm probably not supposed to ask, but I just want to know what's going on lol.

Thanks

Insufficiency of new or up-to-date information, combined with most of us checking in at the "New Efforts!" board more than here.

We're still around, though.
