Huh, really? I thought it rotated at the same speed it revolved. That means it's not actually tide-locked, which is...odd...considering how close it is to that gravitational body.

Actually, compared to some of the exo planets we have been finding, Mercury is a very distant object.  :o

Mercury is in a 3:2 sync lock. Finding out Merucry wasn't a 1:1 lock was a sad day but knowing that there is polar ice there still gives hope for something there.  8)

I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

Get back to me on that Message I sent you so I can ask you whether or not I can start up and run the Titan network Facebook.
I do run one for a small game store in GP Oregon so I have experience with doing things like that.

I now have a physical copy of the article.

The old CoH background looks really nice in print. Seriously.

I always thought if we got a sequel, that's exactly what it'd be called.

I hate to sound cynical, but the guy's note that "nothing had been decided about selling the game afterwards. . . ."

That does not automatically imply that they are considering selling anything at all as some are reading it, sadly.  :(

i think ncsoft is reconsidering how they do a lot of things considering their stock has dropped about 9% in the last day or so and its dropped about 50% since the closure announcement and first unity rally

the massive amount of public negativity and losing investor confidence is finally starting to hit them where it hurts

No, it doesn't. You're absolutely right about that. But it clearly goes against what we were previously told, that being that "all options had been exhausted."

So either we were lied to, or they're changing their mind.

That's a good point as well. They lied to us originally, and now, after all we've caused... they're finally second guessing it.

Well, we heard from multiple sources saying that they believed NCSoft would be open to selling after the actual shutdown.
So, that idea is not entirely a surprise, nor being based entirely on this statement.
As other have pointed out though, this most recent statement is different than the last statement we received about how they had "exhausted all options".
Regardless of how we interpret it... how others interpret it and how NCSoft's people follow it up are what matters.
Us pointing to it and bringing it up everywhere and continuing to suggest that they sell it is a good idea, no matter what. ;)

I could easily interpret, "...nothing had been decided about selling the game afterwards..." as speaking of the past, when they made the decision to take the "strategy" of shutting CoH down and before they "exhausted" all other options.

I honestly don't think that this is the true meaning... but the "had" (past tense) in their statement does leave that as a possibility.

Regardless, even if it is a slip-up in their game of corporate-speak... it is a slip-up. And we'll play that game if we have to.

It's either that or they're trying to save face.  Either way, this is the biggest blink we've seen.  And we know that because, like you said, they have directly contradicted themselves.  Still good news, even if it's not the best news possible.
