If CoX comes back, my first toon will be a Mastermind who was imprisoned at Nexon, planned his revenge, broke out and got the game back with all the ill-gotten stock cash loot in tow!

And just cause:

I want my Ninjas back, I may go for an MM first as well.
We're almost there!  ;D

when I was a kid my best friend kept getting scolded for calling his little brother a dum a$$, so then we just turned it from D.A. into District Attorney, and shortened it all to just "district". So my friend would look at his brother, shake his head and say "district...." I would get the message, he would not get scolded, and his little brother would be confused (as usual).

So, THAT's what happened when I was growing up!

Hope is, generally, viewed as positive.


Unless it's the hope towards the end of the world or some such...

What is difficult for many to accept is that the Loss of the game was much like a hostage situation.

The people that played the game for years developed a relationship with there Characters and the community.

When the game stopped it was like someone took what we had worked on for years.

Anyone that understands how the information that made up the game works knows that it could be restored.

The question is will the let the hostages free

The team that is working on the release is doing there best to get them back to us

Lets just hold in there and hope for the best

Games with defunct online servers. . . .

This feels MORE like, say, the Resident Evil Outbreak games than closed MMOs, especially closed MMOs based in other countries.

I've seen stuff like this already raised on here, but I can't recall what people have been saying about it thus far.

CoH however was only OWNED overseas, it was developed in the USA and mostly functioned in the USA. IT operated primarily in united states jurisdiction.

Battlestations Midway might get help from this :D

I cannot see how CoX is an abandoned property when it is in closed negotiation for transfer of ownership

I cannot see that argument as having much sway in a court. If it weren't for the MMORPG exemption, it certainly would fall under the court's decision of being abandoned. Otherwise a company could just start closed negotiations to sell a product upon closing it, and never complete negotiations for any period of time, in order to maintain that any game is "not abandoned".

Ah... I read that wrong. :(

Well, maybe it's a step in the right direction anyways.

True but say if I had read the article correctly. Then the negotiations fell threw (which I don't believe they will. I don't see something taking this long falling apart). Then maybe it would of been a good back up plan.

I think that if that were ever to happen, then a case could be made that they were not negotiating in good faith.

HEY!  Mr. Downes!

How about an update? It's been 14 months since your mask came off - how about some hard information? People are dying over here!
