Entirely unrelated to the "save CoH" effort, the tangent on "better than fantasy" and "CoH can do anything, not just limited to fantasy" in this thread made me ponder: perhaps a Fantasy-like expansion sometime in the future (assuming all goes well and there is a future) would be interesting. We've seen in Marvel comics that a myth/fantasy-esq story arc is not out of place in a comics-verse (see Journey Into Mystery starting with the plot arc Fear Itself; I don't read comics, much, but I enjoyed that one so much I bought a hardbound copy of the first half of it and am looking for the rest in similar format).

I22 = Fear Itself, CoX style

At least I think that's when DA got remade.

I22?

Issue 22: Death Incarnate which modified the Dark Astoria area.

Ah. Neat. ^_^

And then ther is Arf the Puppy, who effectlvy uses a semi silly proof of concept travel power as a key aspect of his charecter.  What other MMO can say THAT?

Impeccable timing, I just bumped into Arf for the first time within a half hour of reading this post.

I am the rogue behind Arf the Puppy.

I wanted a character which I could baseline basic emotions on in roleplay. Whiile i was conceptualizing the idea, the Paragon Market updated... with the travel power that defined Arf.

Once again, the studios timed things perfectly. One more reason I love the game.

Which travel power is this, and why is it "proof of concept?"

The Coyote Travel Power, and it's proof of four legged model concepts controlled by players.

That was never the problem... the problem is making ALL the animations fit with it, especially MA and similar sets - which would take tons of time from the development team.

Ermm.. Back on topic please?

Zwillinger is no longer with the company, leaving us without a community manager for the final two months

This...could get ugly. Does that leave two effective full-time moderators on the main boards? We may have to start doing what we can to keep things tidy ourselves.

[Thirty-Seven]

Sadness :(

[Knightslayer]

Sadness :(

Yeah... that's exactly the way I feel...

[Aggelakis]

Yes, there is at least one full-time (no-redname) moderator. I don't know if the other redname moderators (HitStreak and Freitag) are officially working or not but I don't think they are.

Personally I find it amusing that those dolls all seem to live in a refrigerator.

OH COME ON, don't pretend you don't know what I am talking about!

And you'd think Sera, of all people, could manage to keep warm...   8)

Gonna hook up with Max (Schaeffer) and get his take on all this, but I need to give it a few days: Torchlight II dropped yesterday, and he's a tad busy right now.

[Kheprera]

I can't fault Zwill his decision, and wish him the very best.  He has two adorable boys and, for a short while, they'll get some extra Daddy Time.

Still, I worry about the status of the main forums.

I'm more active here than anywhere, but it may be worth our time to try to put out fires ourselves--if people start getting rowdy, remind them that there's still a chance CoH could be sold, and that potential buyers will be reading our messages and judging our community accordingly. If we can demonstrate that we're more than capable of being prosocial without oversight, that's going to reflect well on the community and CoH.

I still have hope up until Posi says the same thing.

Then it's game over.

It's not game over until I darn well say it is.

Am I understood!? :P

Wait, are you saying you're the fat lady? I always imagined you'd be heavier-looking.
