At risk of asking another question answered in these many pages...

All things considered...if this deal gets done as proposed in the OP...how long before we get to log in? Any estimates?

Nope. No ETA's. Announcing any now would be foolhardy at best.

Sorry FloatingFatMan...I didn't have the stamina to read all 25 pages to find my answers. Please know my tone in that sentence is friendly and genuine...you are one my favorite posters on here. I hope we might put answers on the OP to avoid such events.

My apologies if my tone came over as brusque, that wasn't the intent. :)

Second time today, I've done that.  I'm on a roll! :p

My dad has a pat answer for questions like this, but if you're not a Brit, you probably won't get it...

This is great news!  I have no idea why NCSoft closed down CoH in the first place.  Name a better MMO that closed?  You probably can't.  MMO's don't reopen every day, in fact, I can't name one.  Looking forward to it.  Great job!

I'm not a Brit but I think I get the idea of what you mean by that....

I grow impatient but realize I have no choice but to wait...

I can't even name a better MMO, let alone one that closed.

we are building it out of ducks? thats gonna drive people quackers...
Duck tape is made using duck cloth layered between the adhesive and the plastic backing. While it's popularly referred to as "duct tape" in many places it's actually a terrible tape to use on ducts since it doesn't hold up well at all in heat. Actually it's generally not a good tape for any sort of long term use since even in cooler environments it tends to get crumbly over time instead of turning into a gummy mess like in hotter environments.

i'd post more on topic comments and questions, but so far that's been pretty well handled by other people, so i'm mostly reading and offering incidental kvetching.
Kudos to downix, TonyV, Irish Girl, and everyone else on staying on top of things and responding with such clarity and patience.
So far so good. Onward and upward!

Well you are also explaining Duct(k) tape so that's a huge bonus!

Good point... the character creator alone is better than half of the MMO's out there.

 I must admit that, most un-heroically, since the cataclysm that hit our game, I have been in a modified fortress of...um...er..moping but, no more :)

Hell I like this kind of speculation so Ill take a stab at it.  Say deal wraps up by Nov. 1.  Say then it takes the holding company two more months to get its act together (raise some cash, build website, account registration, organize servers, test things, etc.).  So Id guess at the very earliest Feb. 2015.

Im sure others savy in these matters have a clearer crystal ball.
Formerly of Virtue server: Number 9, StormBird, Magic8Ball, Fyv, and many others I care not to mention in the desperate hopes I get to recreate them and use their names once again.

Be careful man, it might be fire ants.  It could even be army ants or some other super deadly ant!

I was trying to find a video with even deadlier ants......
Currently; Not doing any streaming, found myself with less time available recently.  Still playing starbound periodically, though I am thinking of trying other games.  Don't tell me to play mmohtg's though please :).  Getting back into participating in VO and the successors again to.

Im amazed.  This is such fantastic news! Getting the IP itself is potentially even more exciting than the client sure to the sheer potential of what could be done with it! Great job guys,  thank you so much for your efforts,  ill keep my fingers crossed!

I'm still hopeful, but not counting any chickens yet. I very much want to be back in CoH, but I can see where that road is long off - if it happens. None the less, I too am thankful for those working on this, your efforts are much appreciated.

Now back to also stalking City of Titans forums for updates from the weekend conventions.

Way too early to expect login date announcments. 

Even if the deal goes through this month (hoping it does), I wouldn't expect to be able to log in until winter 2014 at the earliest. 

Pure speculation of course.
