I've been under NDA before, and in at least one case, I was not allowed to even say I was under NDA. Personally, I think that's going a bit too far with one's NDA, but it's fairly commonplace.
As far as I'm concerned, good ol' task force hail mary is a long shot, but still better than most attempts to bring a game back. I mean, the community is still alive enough to revive the game, there were at least some negotiations of a more serious kind, and, judging by the plethora of 'spiritual sequels' out there, there's plenty of active interest. Still, getting NCSoft to be remotely interested is highly unlikely. They don't care. It's a great idea to bring it back, they could get some free money out of it, they could improve their reputation a bit with it, etc. Still, they earned their foul reputation, and it doesn't look like they'll be paying attention anytime soon.
Still, I'm not one to just give up. I'm still looking forward to any chance at something like CoH coming around, one way or another. I know the odds are low, but I'm still going to hope for the best. Stranger things have happened.
