I don't have any news yet. I really think the next thing we will hear will be a yes or no answer. If the project was acceptable and the conditions of sale worked out - then there wasn't much left - well except for the Lawyers.

1000 of them at the bottom of the ocean would be a good start  ;D

Thank you for taking the time to let us know! I know we're all super eager and it must be harder on your side knowing more of the goings on than we do, so thank you again for all of your efforts.

When we get the game back, I'll buy you a drink in the D.

You like breakfrees, right?

Part of me wants the news to hit on the 500th page.

Or this Black Friday... Two years ago when the closure was announced.

Since the announcement was on an August 31st, I'll also accept it on this Sunday.

Thanks Ironwolf! It's been a lot of fun discussing the possibility.

It is amazing that the group has become experts of NCSoft's inner workings! They're EXPERTS! They've exploited every loophole, dodged every obstacle! They're penetrating the bureaucracy!  ;D

My hope: Everyone maintains realistic expectations regarding an update that was vaguely given as "August at the soonest".

My expectation: 31 August 2014 has a lot of "when's this update coming?" posts.

My fear: 1 September 2014 - "Ironwolf u liedz 2 us! Ur a dirty, stinking, smelly poopoo liar from smelly poopoo liarland!"
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* FFM: I think you're mostly wise in this instance, apart from one part.

Reading the way you guys played, I sometimes think I played the game wrong. :)

I realize I didn't because I played it the way that worked best for me, but some of the things you all did are mind blowingly full of win!

The only way to have played the game wrong, was to not have any fun.

If you were having fun, you got it right! ;)

Wait?!  Ironwolf you are from poopoo liarland?!?!  Read it on the internet, must be true.

I seem recall me and some SG mates messing around with me hitting mobs with 6 slot kb power push and them throwing fireballs at them as I launched em lol
Heat seeking missiles if you will.
Also the frustration of trying to find the last glowie on a map......not fun.
Hitting inertial reduction in Atlas and telling all the low lvls to hit space bar....they were all like wtf hah.
Explaining that seeds of confusion was a drop in xp but not actual xp gain ie it was quicker,forget the maths but some ppl just weren't having it.
I think every 50 of mine took recall friend too,it just speeded up everything so much,specially if u mentored down.
But the single best thing about was sidekicking,whoever came up with that should get a knighthood.
Absolutely game changing,meant never having to worry about out lvling friends,etc unless they were doing the content religiously which pretty much meant solo anyway lol.

Just hope we get a big announcement next weekend,I would seriously blow £500 in the game store just to celebrate lol

NB obviously it isn't going to be up n running on the day ;)

Although perhaps the task they were set was to get the game running again....hmmm.

We don't know.  Iron wolf told us that the team hoped to have the deal sealed this month.  Doesn't necessarily mean it'll be 100% on scheduel.
Currently; Not doing any streaming, found myself with less time available recently.  Still playing starbound periodically, though I am thinking of trying other games.  Don't tell me to play mmohtg's though please :).  Getting back into participating in VO and the successors again to.

If COH (with or without COH 2) comes back up, I will even play Aion again in celebration!  I haven't fired up a single NCSoft game since the shutdown.  I had bought Guild Wars 2 and was playing the early start, until a week later when NC dropped the COH closure notice bomb.  I haven't logged on there since.

That was before NCSoft asked them to provide a display of technical expertise. I know we grow closer day by day but August was their goal - not locked in stone. I will ask how the project is going later this week.

I can't stop people from reacting to a process that only NCSoft controls for the most part. The team was shooting for August but again it isn't them who gets to call the shots. If it was within the teams power - we would have the game now. I got to talk to them during the Massively article furor and they want the game back as much as we do. Panic stations - the only thing missing was a robot going - Danger Will Robinson!

No worries Ironwolf.

Everyone is doing their best I am sure.

I loved that robot. He was my third favorite robot.
