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

When the game comes back, I'm making my own holiday event! I'm taking a week off work! :p

[Sugoi]

When the game comes back, I'm making my own holiday event! I'm taking a week off work! :p

Well, since I'm already retired (since about 6 months before the sunset notification)  I'll have to top your week off of work and take a week off from Real Life!   

And yeah, I do wish I were younger... sucks when the RL warranty runs out on body parts.

They're trying to reposses mine.. Something about abuse...

If I was a working generation X i'd take a day off for sure, but i'm a millennial, they NEVER give us any days off....ever .

[Azrael]

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.

*nods.

Teletech wasn't prone to give anything and actually regularly lowered wages on me, so they just bluntly didn't care.  Twice I was layed off and both times they lowered my pay, I ended up quitting when they wanted me to replace computer equipment to work for them, on minimum wage, part time.....

It costs 100+ dollars for a modem or router.  The place was paying minimum wage and part time, can't work for someone being that picky with internet equipment on such low wages know?

But never got a day off from em.  They just, didn't care.

Edit: And the second layoff?  That was after they'd just trained me for more responsabilities.  Thats how incompetent they were.  EVERYONE around me encouraged me to not deal with them anymore including even more workaholic friends/relatives.  So...yeah... :S

[Sinistar]

Yeah my specialist, Dr. Rudy Wells tells me my replacement parts are on back order since the price was hiked up to cost an arm and a leg.

On a side note:  I heard that they are making a reboot of The $6 Million Dollar Man.

I sure hope they update that figure though....these days $6 Million would only get you a bionic big toe.

Now your ideas I like!
As to the special badges, it would be nice to finally have Bug-Hunter and Passport and to have them reactivate all the old anniversary badges.

I'd purchase every costume/power pack again to ensure that certain costumes can be rebuilt, from there it is a matter of rebuilding characters.

Also here's a feature that I wouldn't mind seeing added in: we had the ability to transfer characters to other servers for $10 and we could copy characters to TEST server for free.  So since copying characters was possible, how about for $20 we can copy/clone a character to another server.

Some of us did like having the same name/character on multiple servers and while rolling and leveling characters can be fun, sometimes the TIME factor is a problem.  So if the potential new owners could add that feature that would be nice.

Currently Dynamite comics has a Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman series running that continues the series where they left off,.

Prior to that they had a modern series based on a screenplay by Kevin Smith called The Bionic Man which updated the origin and tech considerably.

Austiin asked Oscar how much the parts would cost and Oscar stated after factoring in the budget for personnel, upgrades, research, repairs, that it would be six million per DAY.

Austin lost one arm, both legs and his eye, but due to the weight of the arms that they had to amputate his left arm and replace it for balance issues, his bones were reinforced, for proper binocular vision his good eye was removed and replaced as well.  He could easily run about 90mph if not faster, he was virtually bulletproof, had built in wifi and a 3 TB computer in his head.   Also per the old CYBORG novels he did have lasers in his eyes.

We got retellings of Bigfoot, the Venus probe, Maskatron and more.  Fun series

Not even a bionic toe according to deus ex HR .  And the iluminati in the deus ex world LOVES putting explosives in augmented people so they can just say a word and detonate the person for disobeying orders, as well as keeping augmentations as high priced as possible for non members so non members cannot ever get them.  Not to mention neuropozine deliberately kept in short supply as a means to keep prices high to further centralize wealth to themselves. 

Yeah, six million dollars wouldn't be close to enough for a fully augmented super human these days.

For sale one liver, one careless owner ...

Plus can you imagine the maintenance/upkeep/repair costs?  In Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, the Major and Batu were chatting and it was stated rather clearly that they are essentially property of Section 9 due to their cyborg bodies and upkeep costs.

I really could not agree with you more on the costs of cyborgs and their maintenance.

The future is in reanimated corpses.

Hey, if Vampire or Werewolf were to approach me with an invitation to join their club, I would definitely join up....preferably after being briefed about any and all weaknesses, sunlight, silver, etc.

While the idea of being a super cyborg, or a suit of armor like Iron Man has an appeal, the maintenance costs alone would be prohibitive.

Heh,......imagine the costs of maintaining and deploying a GUNDAM

I don't know... I sorta liked the f2p model myself - how about f2p for a static, I23 CoX (2004 version) with the store extras for purchase and a small subscription model for the various projects to come?

Although the Major actually has had dozens of bodies stashed or "idling" around the globe and her ghost has gone repeatedly body hopping when need arose, and that's not counting what she became later. Although i don't think Section 9 is aware of all of that, and it would be in the Major's interest to not let them know.
