New efforts!

[Sinistar]

A modern day warrior, mean mean stride, today's Statesman a mean mean pride!

Apologies to RUSH

[Nyx Nought Nothing]

Leaving a couple mobs in every room, exiting the mission, turning on hide and then rerolling on another server a few months later?

Only if i went the hardcore RP route.

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember thorns
and orenbaga scorns
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time
In your CoV dreams

Once the world was new
Our heroes fought the evil Tsoo
fought until the brand new day (god I hated those container ship missions in IP)
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In our CoX dreams

And when the music plays
And when the world is touched by Trolls
When the music plays
I hear the sound that made me lols

Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The Rularuu were ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In our CoH dreams.

Trying to picture Justin Hayward singing the first part in the distorted "Arachnos Soldier" kind of voice.  :o

And here I thought my New Efforts Bingo card with 2 Moody Blues spots on it was a lost cause. Now I'm really close.

[psquared007]

I want my...
I want my...
I want my CoV...

No apologies to Dire Straits.

[ivanhedgehog]

All I want for christmas is my COV
my COV....


No apologies to Shirley Temple

[psquared007]

When the lights go down in the "City"
And the sunshines on the Crey
I want to be there in my "City"
Ooh, Ooh

So you think you're lonely
Well my friend I'm lonely too
I want to get back to my "City" fighting Crey
Ooh, ooh



No apologies to Journey

So it's been about 2 years since we have heard anything about a possible purchase so is it safe to say if it's not happening now that this game being resurrected is officially dead?

The only people who actually know anything about the negotiations are under an NDA. So no they aren't officially dead and won't be until we hear from one of them. Two years isn't a unusually long time for a business negotiation—particularly a multi-national one. 

[Paragon Avenger]

In the darkness of Mordor, I found a game so rare.
Then Gollum and NCSoft snuck up the slipped away with it.


My apologies to Led Zepplin and J. R. R. Tolkien.

This one takes the cake

This one takes the cake

But, the cake is a lie.

It's always been safe to say it.
Go ahead and say it.
Go on with your life. 

Feel free to mount another attempt to try to purchase the game from NCSoft.
Feel free to work on creating another Superhero MMORPG
Feel free to reverse-engineer COH

Nobody's stopping you from doing anything.

[Codewalker]

But, the cake is a lie.

The cake may be fake,
but the pie ain't no lie.

[RGladden]

There's no use in me a-cryin'
I've done everything and now I'm sick of trying
I've thrown away my nights and wasted all my days over you

[Nyx Nought Nothing]

Why are we waiting?
What are we waiting for?
Something to kill us kill us,
Just a little,
Just a little more.


Take a little more.

[pinballdave]

No-no, no, no, no-no-no, no, no-no, no, no-no
Na-no, no, na-no, no-no, na-no, no-no, no, no-no, no

Nobody can arrest (Rularuu) like I do
Nobody can beat the (Tsoo) like I do
Nobody can do (Arachnos) like I do
Nobody can stop (Freakshow) like I do

Ooh, yeah
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody

Thanks, Brig.

Not quite songs, but not far off.


In 2012, a great computer game was sent to shutdown for a loss of profit it didn't incur. Its fans promptly emerged from maximum gloom into the Internet underground. Today, still owned by a Korean company, the game soldiers on in various forms. If you miss your missions, and no one else can help, and you can message them, maybe you can hire...the Paragon Chat Team.

and, somewhat more obscure

It is the year 2016. NCSoft has shut down City of Heroes and evicted thousands from their home in Paragon City. But from secret staging grounds on multiple forums, brave heroes and determined villains prepare to retake their homeland!
