The Shot Heard Around Paragon City - SCORE Public Release

[Voltixdark]

So I am curious.. Though everyone or some people will setup their own servers. Who will host the main server for the community. Like we have Paragon Chat for the whole community to join so I assume that the main host server and all will be hosted by Leandro? I am completely fine with that.

I am kind of asking that question because with the spread of the servers, I am not sure where I would land and stay to call home. From the info the leaker leaked, when they played everything character wise, enhancements, etc was exactly where it was before the game closed in 2012. So I am hoping that those things could still remain intact for others like me who still want access to their old account data and to continue where we left off.

Another thing though is that with the character database spread, Leandro mentioned that clean up or hashing of the character database would be required so other accounts would not be compromised. How would that work exactly? Say you have 100 people who want to get their old account data back how would that process go?

I've already mentioned it. 

Has something to do with healing your wounds.

It's a brighter future than we've had, I recommend embracing it.

Because that rift? You embrace that? Thanos.

Thanos didn't lose anyone. He was obsessed with balance. You're thinking of the MCU Zemo. Who broke up the avengers because his family was killed by Ultron.

If you're going to accuse everyone you don't like of being a murderous villain, get it right.

[Ultimate15]

I know what you mean.  For six years nothing....and then...all of a sudden...BOOM!

I know! Like, I'm super happy, don't get me wrong... but I'm almost too shocked to feel any second-tier emotions. Just pure, unequivocal shock is controlling my systems right now lol.

Also, is anyone else suddenly thinking of buying a new computer? Haha.

Friendly advice:  Stop embracing the rift.

Also: People I don't like?  I like everyone, at least, I try to. 

My message... My wish... is that moving forward, we still have highs and lows to encounter.

Keep your capes ON. Do NOT attack each other.

Resist the rift. At all costs resist. It IS Thanos.  The comic book version. 

You should be able to understand my message.

Hugs.

Already building one, timing is nice. I'm watching the coders chat on discord while I work, interesting how fast they move.

Time is of the essence.

It will probably self-organize, much like swgemu, with some  different flavors.   Expect to potentially hop around as new servers pop up, but likely the first technically savvy group to organize and implement a stable game will win the race to collecting dollars... kind of like city of titans snagging kick starter dollars.  If server maintenance is pricey,  it will be hard to support too many across the population of interested,  committed players.

Comic book thanos was romantically interested in the concept/avatar of death, and sought out the infinity gauntlet to kill half the universe for her and her love.

You're still thinking of Zemo. Like the exchange between Zemo and black panther is great. We shouldn't ignore it.

I changed my mind.

The rift shall now be known as my English 101 teacher.

A cold and callous creature with evil bane for skin and bitter malice for bones and organs.

Every day she would find herself yet again in that horrible state of being awake and thus believed the world should suffer for it.

Cracks left in the floor by her stilettos out of sheer spite.

And that red pen.  Damn that devil red pen. Concentrated hate.  Like a nightmare version of that Bill Cosby marker.

It made Freddy glove noises as she brutally assaulted her students papers.

Yeah. That fits.  That's the rift.  Run from the rift.

Being told to stop being upset has never made anyone stop being upset in the history of mankind.   I agree now that Leo has spoken people can start healing.  But you need to let people heal their wounds on their own time.  It isn't just a snap of the fingers for some people. (Shit now im bringing up Thanos)

You do know that I teach that course, yes? :-)

[Mister Hassenpheffer]

You do know that I teach that course, yes? :-)

I also know that Santa and Satan have the same letters in their names, they both wear red and black, they both only appear at night, and they are never seen together....

[Ultimate15]

...I will say, I still have one cautious eye on NCSoft. I think they're definitely aware of what's going on.

Is anyone else waiting on a move from them? Or am I the only one?

I'm waiting.

[nicoliy]

I'm sure NCSoft will at least issue a statement. How far down an actual path of going after Leo or new servers is anyone's guess I think.

Agreed.

It's making me anxious AF.

[MM3squints]

One thing that will make me wonder no just from NC Soft stand point, but also what happens when people start making Marvel and DC characters on these servers. I assume there won't be a ToS (because technically hold the code and running it is sketch enough) so would the house of mouse and WB come after these server too? On a lighter note, since there is going to be multiple servers, will Titans have a post listing the servers with population count and the quirks of the server?

Being real? I never said stop being upset. I don't expect people to "get over it"

I've been attacked, thwarted, disowned, and excommunicated by my blood relative family.

I know first hand that there is no such thing as "just get over it" because nobody ever just "gets over it". I'd never discredit someone's pain.

Healing takes time, so yeah, lets do whatever it takes to heal ourselves.

Heroes can be upset, heartbroken, in pain and still put on that cape and be heroes.

That's really what we all need to do, no matter how much it hurts now, or in the future.

We must steel ourselves for this incoming bumpy ride.

Breaking out the pitchforks and tearing into each other? That's easy.

Putting on the cape? Behaving like the community we SHOULD be? That's hard.

But it's what we should do.

That's why I say avoid the rift. She's a bitch.

Couldn't server owners just moderate that the same way that CoX, CO and DCUO have over the years? Name filters and the occasional deletion if the likeness is too close.

[Felderburg]

Here's a question: if this is the i-24 beta prior to shut down code,    what about the player database?  Was it the beta-test server player character database or is it the live server?

There was an interview where Leandro described what it was, but there's so many articles now I don't want to put in the effort to find which one it was. Basically, the source downloaded all the character data, one live server at a time. It was noted that a lot of people were switching servers near shutdown time, so someone who switched servers at a poor time might not be on the downloaded data.

Edit: Due to the migration of posts from "New Efforts" to this thread, the quote above no longer links properly. But it is unmodified, and the original can be found in this thread (I don't want to put the effort in right now).
