I don't know - while they will be authorized to sell the IP - I don't think they would have any say in your design. To run the classic game server and to authorize leases for the IP seems a relatively simple job. If they - as I would do in their shoes - had a word with the possible SCoRE folks and work on a stand alone version while still hosting the original server.

My most fervent hope is that the folks who would end up running the classic game are a CoRE group of developers who really understand the systems.

At this point, I wouldn't care much if it was Bill Gates himself that brings the game back as long as the game is back.

the one thing I wished City of has was a zone with a beach, I know there were zones that had it, but I am referring to is zones like the secret world Kingsmouth. :)

Crawling with Zombies?   ;D

I don't know, I think there were more than enough Vhazilok to go around...

I dunno about a city of heroes movie.  Remember the directors who typically made movies based on video games always made sure there was no story, plot or anything.  A city of heroes movie of such low caliber would kill the franchise.
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.

Agreed.

Remember the Mario Bros. movie?  yikes.


Now the first Mortal Kombat was fun, the second one.....ugh.

The first Mortal Combat had a nice dose of Christopher Lambert....always a winning formula in my book.

Tom Bombadil could easily be the subject of his own movie. . .


There were CoH movie plans that I am aware of  http://variety.com/2007/digital/news/desanto-visiting-city-of-heroes-1117966386/ Tom DeSanto announced in 2007 he had optioned the rights. Around 2010ish I had read those rights were sold to James Cameron but my weak google-fu reveals no evidence of that. 
We're almost there!  ;D

Indeed... and while I was a Bill Gates fan for the longest time some things over the years have changed my opinion of him.  As far as his company goes in software I am still a loyal pc/windows user but not so much the rest.

Regarding Bill Gates, that would be fine... I could see him using the IP to help with charitable works.

I liked the National Lampoon version of the Lord of the Rings. I especially like the way they dealt with Tom (Benzedrine). The 'bard song' as interpreted by the lampooners was especially humorous.

Now I'm going to have to find my copy of the Harvard Lampoon's "Bored of the Rings"... and I guess reread Lord of the Rings so I understand all the references...
I used CIT before they even joined the Titan network! But then I left for a long ol' time, and came back. Now I edit the wiki.

I'm working on sorting the Lore AMAs so that questions are easily found and linked: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Lore_AMA/Sorted Tell me what you think!

Still talking...It's going slowly, but that's to be expected over the holiday season, and in the wake of such events such as the Carbine layoffs... Nothing much new to report.

At least that's the latest news I've gotten as of a few days ago.

Indeed, you mentioned the two words that mean to me that we won't get the final answer until sometime in 2015,  "holiday season".   Barring a massive amount of good luck, that is.

Agreed, I didn't expect any news until at the very least March.

Keep up the great work everyone and Happy Holidays. Incase I don't post anytime soon. LOL!
