  1. I still don't see why the devs can't just cook up a batch of code on their stoves at home. Seems pretty simple to me.

    quite depressing, I really was trying to forget it was closing in 3 months.. grrr all the reason to fight stronger to try and keep it, keep making noise people let them hear us roar! the moment we stop making a fuss about it is the moment they think we don't want COH..
    That's an automated message. I'm not even sure there's any GMs left to respond to those manually anymore.
  3. Dammit, you made me think Dee was back.

    Somehow you dislike the idea of promoting a game you love (a dead one, at that), but I'm not entirely sure why.

    What if you had a Superman emblem shirt, with the "SUPERMAN" comic book title on the back? Would that also be advertising?

    As I noted earlier in this thread, this belief is short-sighted. Paying money for these shirts only shows NCSoft that there are still people who love this game. They've made it clear that they're done with it no matter what, but continuing to show your support may at least push them toward allowing it to live on elsewhere.
  6. Yes, I should note that I ordered mediums. Also, their sizing chart is completely wrong, even when you convert from metric to Imperial.
  7. 1) The original launcher, probably, but it wouldn't work anymore. Even if you bypassed the launcher, it wouldn't let you log in because your version of the game wouldn't match the current version.

    2) Not without servers, no.

I may have referenced it earlier in the thread. The Master was hiding away in the Matrix and showed up to help (and double-cross, of course) the Doctor.
    He was 12.5, between the Doctor's 12th and "final" incarnations. Of course, now you have the Doctor claiming that there's no limit on regenerations in The Sarah Jane Adventures, and the Time Lords were the ones who put that restriction in place originally and they're long gone. So really who knows what the hell's gonna happen.

    Fair enough, but I'm still positive there was at least some technical reason why it couldn't be done (and I'm sure someone could still find a way to exploit the system).

    And I hope the message comes clear to NCSoft that I am willing to spend money not only on the game but on CoH merchandise too.
    Just want to update this thread. I put in an order for both shirts about 2 weeks ago, and they just arrived today, no back-order issues (at least, none that I was made aware of).

    Amusingly, they still have the Cryptic logo on them, which tells you how old they are. They look nice, although I have my doubts about how long the detailing will last.
  11. I started a #pinnbadges IRC channel (the hashtag is for an IRC channel, NOT Twitter nonsense) on Foonetic, all Pinnacle-ites welcome (and what the hell, non-Pinnacle-ites too).

    Okay, now imagine the ability to pay someone on any server to roll and PL a character for you, then transfer it to your account. (Copying would be much worse as you could duplicate 50s from your main account to a secondary account which is just begging for exploitation.) Not to mention the possibility or even likelihood that it might be flat out impossible to even move that kind of information between accounts.

    I'm certain this has been addressed by a redname in the past but I don't have the time to research it at the moment.

    Someone should make this Loregasm thread sticky.

  14. The wiki page, sadly, lacks newer tracks used during the trials and new story arcs.

    Pffft!
    Honestly, I trust a robot car more than actual drivers based just on what I see on the road every day.

    City of Heroes may be saved, but it will almost certainly not remain within the walls of NCSoft. But even if it did, this will never happen for a bunch of pretty obvious reasons (enabling RMT/PL services, for starters).

    It was awfully nice of them to take the time to redirect an e-mail address directly to the trash bin.

    (Also note that in Star Trek's case it's popularity INCREASED after the original show's death.)
    Yes, the write-in campaign only served to briefly postpone the show's demise by a single (inferior) season. Only in reruns did the show become popular enough to warrant a movie (and so on).

    It's also worth mentioning the flipside, that a similar letter writing campaign failed to save Enterprise at all.

    That's about as useful as graystar_blaster posts get.
  20. Maybe that's the tweet people were referring to. *shrug*

    It was Joel McHale, but he wasn't talking about dubstep.

I think this project has been successful in its goal, and at this point, I don't think any further e-mails will get read. Also, I want to minimize the possibility of trolls getting the addresses at some future point and using the addresses to grind an ax.
    I saw it said that the addresses were also posted via Twitter. Was that you, and if so have you removed those tweets as well? (And if you have -- will removing them make any difference?)

    Confessions

    I have all you guys topped. City of Heroes was my first MMO. The person who got me into the game basically held my hand for my first play session as I worked with the costume creator and started to learn about enhancements and all that. After maybe an hour or so I needed to go to the bathroom or was gonna grab a sandwich or who the hell knows, so I asked him "So hey, how do I pause?" "You don't", he said.
