So do we go back in time and kill the Developers or The Producers?
As long as we can get a Zero Mostel or Gene Wilder singing number, I'm ok with either.  :)

I think there is control and then there is involvement.

If I were NCSoft and paid any attention to gamers, I would play this up as us listening to the gamers. That they "found a way" to bring back an old favorite. They may get a cut of leases for the IP - which would be fair enough and have their name on the game and its websites - which again to me is fair enough.

I never started this entire thing on anything but a business standpoint - I did not care why it was shut as much as would they listen to an effort to buy or return it? Yes, was the word I recieved back - they would listen - in their way. A number of people approached them but in a way that was contrary to their accepted business practices.

Know your enemy and try to make him your friend is one of the first rules of business. If you think NCSoft is bloodthirsty you really need to read about IBM and Intel. IBM started the term FUD Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. I am a huge nerd and some of the stories about what IBM used to do and what Intel did and does do to any threat is very interesting reading. In November 2009, Intel agreed to pay AMD $1.25 billion as part of a deal to settle all outstanding legal disputes between the two companies. It also involved a lot of cross license agreement equal to about $5 billion.

I dont care if all the people working at the I23 maint company stand and shout "hail Ncsoft"!! every day at 2pm central. As long as I can make my fire/em blaster and my Ill/emp troller.

Hm,,,,, "Hail NCsoft"?    nah, that's a bit much don't you think?  :)
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,
Look to Cyberspace, where HOPE burns bright!

Twilight Grasp should be enough. :)


Completely aside. I still thought the old animation on that power was the best animation in all of CoH. It took over 4 seconds but it looked fantastic. You could fire it off and watch as a teammate destroyed your target (guaranteeing a miss); you would still have enough time to yell about it in the team chat before the thing finished.
For those who never saw it, it was like putting Energy Transfer (but with tendrils forming) in front of TG.   
Cogito, Ergo... eh?

I spent a couple months lurking, actually. Then one day I decided I wanted to come back into the conversation. Lurking wasn't really working for me. It's what I do. I gotta talk XD

Here's an idea, instead of having to lurk here for updates and instead getting the same old "no news is good news"; why don't we start an email list.  That way where there is an update in the months or years it takes of good news/silence; we can have the news sent to our email.
