Depends on the NDA and if it may or may not have a non disparagement clause. Seeing how they are not talking about it, it's probably part of the NDA.
Ah, well that makes sense, I wonder if NCsoft is more willing to sell CoH because of the Nexon Drama...

Feels like its one of those not so fun pugs where it takes 30 minutes for everyone to reach the next door /em wait

no sense of urgency for NCSoft, they have other things on their mind.

I'm glad folks are trying to get the game revived, I just hope it doesn't take so long that folks moved on.

VO just started their alpha on internal servers, we might see something in a few weeks. getting closer for at least 1 of the successor projects.

I don't have inside information but using your numbers - if you had a one time fee of $19.99 to buy the game to get everything all vet rewards and so on and then a monthly $5 or the F2P model as it was left - I think you would do ok.

I would assume you could get 10,000 purchases or near that. Then the monthly fees or F2P purchases would drive the rest. I can see this being on Steam for certain, I know some people hate it - but I only open Steam when playing a game and then close it.

I hope it's something like this.As far as Steam goes it would definitely bring in more people(even though
I am not a big fan of Steam)but would they want a cut for having it on their site?

Question about this, Is the Team even allowed to say outright whether or not the deal is going good or bad?

No, but sly winks are permissible so long as the corner of the mouth only raises or lowers no more than 1/16th of an inch (depending on what the intent is being conveyed.)

Most likely not.

But also most likely, there shouldn't be anything that would prevent them from saying:
1: As soon as negotiations are completed, we will announce it.
2: As soon as negotiations are ended, we will announce that we are not engaged in any negotiations.

And by connecting the dots, since neither of those has been posted....

Couldn't we ask something like "If the negotiations are proceeding in a positive direction then DO NOT respond to this post"?

Potentially?

I was snippy?

Sorry if it came over that was not grumpy! I was just checking fast!

You are not snippy.

I think we just want our game back and each day takes a toll.

Indeed. That fact I am not in a PPD Hardsuit Costume right now, knocking on doors and punching Spirits and Vampires in the face makes me sad.

I miss hunting Eochai and Jack at this time of year.

That reminds me, I forget, how is Eochai pronounced?
In fearful COH-less days
In Raging COH-less nights
With Strong Hearts Full, we shall UNITE!
When all seems lost in the effort to bring CoH back to life,
Look to Cyberspace, where HOPE burns bright!

How would one know, unless is it based on some folklore? My guess is "e-okay" with the emphasis on the "o".

Always enjoyed getting a big team together and logging in with a Force Fielder, go knocking on doors in an enclosed area or with a nearby corner, fire up (Repulsion Field?) to push the huge swarm of emerging critters into a tightly-packed killzone.

Hurricane was an acceptable alternative.

It is based on folklore, but it's Gaelic, so no one knows anyway :P

Also are people forgetting that they nerfed all the fun out of trick or treating a couple of iterations before shutdown?
