Hmm... toon idea... Derail Tropic: Beam Rifle/Fire Blaster? Derail Topic: Beam Rifle/Mental?
Played around with a build like that on test or beta when mental became an option I was inspired by Sakurai and the other Esper from Gantz Manga didn't get to far with that one sadly
Chance Jackson was my Global, I mostly played on Triumph Toons: LIEGE CHEETATRON X - Bots/Traps/Mu lvl 50 +3; DOWN RIGHT FIERCE - SJ/Fire/Soul Brute lvl 50 +3; FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE -KM/Nin/Fire Stalker lvl 50 +3; TIME MAY CHANGE ME - Time/Sonic/Dark; INFERNAL SAMURAI - DB/Fire/Fire lvl 50 +3 replaced by "NITORYU" - DB/WP probably a brute; THUNDEROUS BRUTE - Elec/Shield Scrapper; And Many More!

When the best game ever returns "have to stay optimistic" I will role up these feel free to comment and criticize. For Pvp grav/storm/Psi troller. the two other will just be for a bit of both because I love playin brutes. 1. SS/EA/? 2. SJ/SR/fire. I am sure ill mess with mids a bit more but these 3 I am heart set on.
My arm hurts holding this torch. I shall endore

I'd love to see psychics being a viable option again in super hero games.  Between CO and DCUO, only DCUO comes even remotely close, while CO your forced only to do a very specific telekinesis build that generally suffers in terms of fun, and telepathy just plain sucks in the game.  Be nice to sometime role a telepathic toon again who's powerful mind allows for an effective AoE juggernaught while still providing powerful support(ahh it'd be nice to play a fortunata again...)
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.

Check the first post of the New Efforts thread.  ;)

The first post of the thread is a little out of order, but October NCsoft accepted the technical test/task and no news is good news as of mid month.

Edit: now says as of November 9

I would say - steady progress with so far no setbacks.

I really do believe once the wheeling and dealing is done the point to start will be very short maybe 90 days or so as they setup accounting and perhaps build a launcher.

that's cool to know the deal is still going forward, also I find good news that it would take 90 days or so for the accounting and the launcher :)
One day the Phoenix will rise again.

I can see 90 days to 6 months after the deal is signed.  The tortoise beat the hare afterall, I'd rather wait a bit longer to ensure as error-free a relaunch as possible.

Create and test the launcher
Create and test the accounting system, plus decide if it is the old F2P/VIP hybrid or not. 
Set subscription price
Activate servers for beta testing to ensure things are ready
Provide a download of the game for those that uninstalled and an update for those that did not uninstall (I like using Icon) that points the game to the new servers.
Activate website and forums
Set launch date that can be met barring sudden epic problems
Rewrite and revise the old Terms of Service as needed to accommodate new ownership and any legal changes needed.
Adjust any of the old CoH rules that need updating
Hire GM's to police the game and help with stuck characters and teams and swat down exploiters and troublemakers.
Prepare incentives and special offers (people will ask/expect some. I don't but others will)
In fearful COH-less days
In Raging COH-less nights
With Strong Hearts Full, we shall UNITE!
When all seems lost in the effort to bring CoH back to life,

You know that, I know that, I think everyone here knows it :)

But realistically IF the deal happened tomorrow I could the game back online for the Valentine event rather then the Winter Event.

I'm betting we will get a bit of each holiday event when the game relaunches as a welcome gift for faithfully waiting.  :roll:

I would open the game up for a free open beta as fast as possible.

Then set a $5 monthly fee and have it include EVERYTHING. You get all powers, all special badges and so on.

Next set up the market for buying the usual stuff. Once the game is purchased contact the SCoRE team if they exist and work together to make a possibility for bringing i24 forward to conclusion.

Man, I wish i was a bit closer to retirement.
