I drove by the old Paragon Studios which is still just an empty building the other day and it got me to thinking what ended up happening to that awesome team behind CoH/CoV?

I recently learned that Sean McCann (Dr. Aeon) is the lead developer for Neverwinter but I don't know about the rest.

I remember last year Matt Miller got fired from Star Trek Online

Where do I start...?

Here's what Twitter tells us at a glance at the moment:

Eric Cleaver (aka TheOcho):  Also known as Piestro and Ocho. Doing Community Stuff for Trion Worlds.

Jeff Hamilton (aka Arbiter Hawk):  Senior Systems Designer on @AtlasReactor at @TrionWorlds. I tweet about #GameDev, #DnD, and occasionally comics/superhero media.

Keetsie Braz da Cuhna (aka Tunnel Rat):  "Poor neglected Twitter account."

Al Rivera (aka Geko):  Star Trek Online Lead Designer.

Hosun Lee (aka Black Pebble):  Marketing Guys on lots of games. Fortnite / Infinity Blade/ City of Heroes / Stuff(TM). Mostly evil. Craves Jamba Juice.

Sean McCann (aka Dr. Aeon):  Content designer for Neverwinter, Commander Ander on the official forums. Formerly Dr. Aeon from CoH. and dev on Star Trek Online.

Tim Sweeny (aka Black Scorpion):  Game Designer, GM, Pirate, Scoundrel

O_o (bAss_ackwards):  Video games! They're fun and I work on them too.

Nate Birkholz (aka Second Measure):  iOS developer, photographer. I chain optionals for a living.

C.W. Bennett (aka Pohsyb):  <blank>

Jessie Lawrence (aka Hit Streak):  I manage esports social media for @twitch. Esports never sleeps! Riot Games alum.

Andy Belford (aka Zwillinger):  Player Relations Manager for Riot Games.

Vince D'Amelio (aka The Dark Watcher): Gamer and Game Programmer.  (I believe he's currently working on ROBLOX. - E)

Bruce Harlick (aka Horatio):  Game Designer, Supervillain, and Foodie

If we were ever allowed any non-lore questions during Matt's anniversary Q&A, I'd definitely want to ask what all the devs are up to these days.

I won't tell NCsoft if you don't tell them :)
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!

I will go down with this ship.  I won't put my hands up in surrender.  There will be no white flag above my door.  I'm in love, and always will be.  Dido

Damn, Didn't know that... What happened there?

I had been wondering what he was up to when I realized I think he deleted his Twitter as @mmodesigner is no longer an active account.

He's still active.  He just changed his handle to @ManyThingsDeck since he's not working on MMOs now.
