OK, what now? I need a private server or the ability to run my own.

[Waya]

Ok, here's the plan.

We are going to collect enough money to buy CoH. But we aren't going to buy it. We are going to buy an island that is not currently in any country. Then, we are going to put reverse engineered CoH servers there and market it as our own MMO. It'll be great. We'll be untouchable and spitting in NCSoft's face.

Seriously though, they would make a movie about that.  :roll:

I wonder if it would be possible to work out some arrangement with NCsoft wherein NCsoft would retain the rights to their oh-so "(my) precious" intellectual property, but we (Titan Network, former CoH players themselves - I don't care who) could obtain a "license" to run a server(s) with the most current content (from the Beta server, perhaps)? That way, if CoH resurges, NCsoft would still own the rights, and make a ton of money - say, if a CoH MOVIE or TV show or whatever, happened...but we'd still get to play the game we all love, even if it was just in a "maintenance" state, with no new content.

Even without the possibility of new content any time in the foreseeable future, I'd be willing to roll that way, just to get to play the game I love still...

[sindyr]

I would like that option too.

[houtex]

I don't think y'all are gettin' it.  NCSoft is doing something *very* strange, and whatever their plan is, no "oh, that'll be just fine, go ahead and run it!" is going to come until and unless it's

a) resurrected in their possession.
b) sold to another who resurrects it.

Excepting those two, the hacked server method is the only way you'll be able to play the game, as NCSoft is simply uninterested (I would suppose that's the best word?) in the small amount of people who would want this, but very interested in not letting the tech/IP back out into the wild.

And *especially* if it's possible to be sold.  Giving anyone the ingredients to The Drink for free means you can't sell The Drink formula to anyone else, as it becomes worthless.  Or so the thought goes.

I would be happy to use a hacked server too.  Ecstatic, in fact.

[Ironwolf]

I would like to warn you folks that if such a thing occurs you need to not be using any form of communication on these boards including PM's as it could come down on Titan.

[Noyjitat]

Since titan wouldn't be supporting it as long as links aren't posted publicly here they should be fine.

[daveyfiacre]

i will take one of those secret messages with links for a hack server

<_<

give me tech and code and i'll finish writing/linking those radiation sets and the wind control set too, using existing but not used animations and junk [numbers and stuff is already there, yea?]?

>_>

I debated on whether or not to post this, but it comes from a very reliable source.  Others may or may not back me on this, but:

NCSoft executives don't give a damn about their players.  And they have no idea where their players hang out, so all the projects on the Titan Network should be relatively safe.

I've said it before here, I'll say it again.  Any strategy that relies on the incompetence of our enemy is a bad strategy.  This would not be a good idea.

What's the worst that happens if you are paranoid, assume the adversary is competent, and plan accordingly?   ;D

What's the worst that happens if you do the opposite?   :gonk:

[Electric-Knight]

Okay, let's get back to being serious here...

Why is everyone here saying that they would like to get PMS??

OHhhhh... PMs!!
Sorry!

Yes, I love the PM as well as I've always been a night owl.

Now, back to the more relevant matter - casting us for this movie.

Hmmm... I'd love a chance to play myself, but I worry that I'm note quite right for that role.

While I only recently discovered that Marc-Paul Gosselaar may have made a great Electric-Knight...
I think, instead, I shall make a more fun and interesting casting choice... and choose Gary Oldman (because he can play just about anything and everything).

Okay, now that we've got this thread back on track... what do you have to say?

[Electric-Knight]

I have to say that I find your posting style sexy! However, I only have to say that because you're holding a chainsaw against my neck.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Assume the adversary is not just competent, but willing to use every dirty trick at their disposal.

[Triplash]

[fortunecookie] "Assuming your adversary is incompetent only proves it true about yourself." [/fortunecookie]

I've been known to dig the nightlife myself on occasion:

Wait, people are getting PMs?

I'd like a PM.

I'd like one very much.

[Profit]

I would like a M&M.

[damienray]

M&M ?? PM ?? Please keep Mamma & DamienRay in the loop :)

[Victoria Victrix]

I would like a bag of special dark M&Ms please.  I find in these dark days of loss that I need theobromine very badly.

[Terwyn]

Ah yes, the most effective psychoactive substance known to humanity - Chocolate! :D

I could use some myself. I absolutely have to hit the store tomorrow.
