Pretty sure that was covered back on page 1 or 2 of the FAQ thread. We're not holding back because of any past, present, or future attempts at acquiring the IP. Whether or not that ever happens doesn't really change much, and since we have no information one way or the other we decided to go ahead and release Paragon Chat to the public.

EDIT:
You know that the people working on Paragon Chat are not the ones working on the deal, and vice versa, right? These are not mutually exclusive things. The work on both can continue on, independent of the status of each other, and if the people working on the deal were to stop...that still wouldn't change a thing about Paragon Chat. The status of the deal will not in any way change the speed at which Paragon Chat is being worked on.

... aaand beaten by 2 minutes  ;D

Don't run Tequilla then!

Seriously, you ONLY need it to get i24 and ParagonChat initially. After that, PC updates itself so you never need Tequilla again (unless you're thirsty :P).

Ok, ty for the explanation. Had no idea. (pours shot).

They aren't selling it. It's been years. They don't need money and don't care. It actually takes them time/money to try to actually sell it.
But yeah, spending anymore time on that "deal" is just wasting time from focusing on getting Paragon Chat playable and getting back to the CoH we all know and love. NCSoft certainly doesn't care, and probably never did.

My main point is that, there has been amazing progress on Paragon Chat, and I'm glad to see it's being focused on more and more. The reality is Paragon Chat is what will have to be focused on to get back to CoH.
I understand where you're coming from, I'm just really optimistic about CoH/CoV coming back, but I don't fault you for what you think, because then I'd have to fault myself due to thinking the same way from time to time :P

On the other hand, if they were really interested in selling they'd probably have done so by now. I'm all for hoping we'll get the game back someday but at this point I wouldn't call it likely.
I also understand this as well, and who knows? Maybe we'll get CoH/CoV back within 6 months or so, all we can do is wait and hope, which for me, sucks because I'd rather be playing CoH/CoV... All the more reason to be thankful to everyone who has and still is working on Paragon Chat.

The only change in 0.99j is fixing a bug introduced in 0.99i would cause new installs that don't have a database yet to fail to create one, resulting in the 'database corrupt!' error on startup.

The bug didn't affect anyone who upgraded from an earlier version, so for all practical purposes, 0.99j is identical to 0.99i for existing users.

It sounds like .99j could have been named .99i.2 or .99ii or .99i1/2 or Banana.

Hmmm, Today, I couldn't log on the first 2 times, however- I got on after the 3rd.

Guess just keep logging-in until you are successful. 8)

I like the idea of 0.99i Banana Edition, myself. Just cause reading that would make me laugh every time I opened the program.

Not sure if this is the right place for bug reporting, but in AP, on top of the brownstone building directly west of the Atlas Statue, some of the 'smoke-stack' features on the brownstone's roof vanish as you approach them.   Not a big functionality issue, of course, but since I stumbled across it, just thought I'd mention it. :)

Paragon Chat cannot change anything about the textures, geometry, and animation of the client without mass-releasing override options, which is not a good idea because we can't guarantee everyone has it (we can't even guarantee everyone's running the same version of PC, let alone every has the same overrides!). Also: Bug thread.

So anyone know what's up with Null the Gull in Pocket D? is he/she/it a PC addition or was he/she/it really in CoH/CoV? (I very much doubt that he/she/it was in CoH/CoV, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Devs had put Null in as a way of rewarding people who click on everything :P )
