Well, if there's anything I can do to help, let me know. I still maintain that it's not a question of if NCsoft will eventually let the game go, but when. You never know when just the right thread is pulled at just the right time.
For the record:
When I left the City of Titans project due to conflicts of vision with others, I reorganized my game design company (established 3/2010).
We have been steadily working on a superhero concept, which I am not prepared to discuss at this time.
We aren't asking for volunteers and such, and although we appreciate there being a community, we don't feel it's fair to build a community presence at this time.
After this writing I intend to stay below the radar and not release information until we have something to give.
We had made inquiries to the sale of CoH last fall.
We hit some walls in
our effort to purchase CoH.
Our obstacles weren't/aren't money and structure.
It was a lack of NCSoft's people being receptive to negotiate or even be reached.
Through contacts, it is like pulling teeth.
From what our sources gathered, NCSoft did not want to sell at the time, they had other plans.
So we stopped pursuing that avenue.
If it's really what the community wants:
Our company has acquired enough traction to create resources and infrastructure to support such an acquisition.
If I tell my contacts that's part of the plan, all I have to do is write a document that says how it fits into a development and they go get the money. Done.
If people want to seriously communicate with us and put us in contact with those folks (NCSoft), awesome.
In the meantime, I am returning to our cave to work on a game of superheroes worthy to succeed CoH's spirit, but evolved in so many new ways, just like I told the audience at the Phoenix Comicon last year.
Good to see y'all again.
Have a nice day!
