If you want CoH lore on Google Docs, go here:

It's not the story bible - but it's quite a few parts of it.
Some of the stuff they wrote in 2004 will blow your mind when you see how they used the idea in more recent content - check out Red Widow's inevitable return and Romans bringing Mot to Dark Astoria. -
Actually, I think that there's still some sort of community rep presence here, but it's hard to know how much of it is official, and how much of it is just them being awesome even after being laid off.

Quote:We're highlighting different aspects of the story to appeal to different sites - the key is to spread the news beyond the player base and the geekosphere in general to generate enough attention to change NCSoft's attitude from "whatever" to "oops".Originally Posted by Night-Hawk07
That's an....interesting site; especially for an article about CoH to appear on. Nevertheless, publicity is publicity.

CoH2.

Quote:There are going to be a few ups and downs during this time - don't give up yet.Originally Posted by Ashtur
Kinda funny really. I've not been playing much lately (kept the sub up though). I'm actually more down about it now than I was Friday. When it hit Friday, I was resigned. Dec 1... gone. Period.
For some reason, I got a little perk of hope today when I read this. It made just enough sense to be something to hold to.
Now, I'm back to my default position. It's dead, and will not be saved. I just feel worse about it. *sigh* -
We're going to save something from all this.

It would need a huge recoding effort to make it work as an offline game.

Hey Golden Girl
the last few days have been hellish and hopeful and i feel like i keep getting emotionally thrown around the room then stepped on... then brushed off and shown a hall way of light... i want to run but... to the point, thank you for being reasonable and supportive and honest with your input and reply's, keeping my hope in check and my despair at bay.

No one on Justice gave a damn about the vigil. I was the only one in Atlas. Everyone else was off doing a MSR. I'm more than a little disappointed.

We can also take a wider angle of "geeks under threat from a big business that just doesn't get it" - emphasize it as an attack on the geekosphere as a whole - our fun, harmless nerdy hobby is being stamped out with no reason given.

Hmm, I like the cut of your jib.
Bringing in Stan Lee seems like such an obvious thing to do I can't believe hearing the idea left my dumbfounded for a second. -
If the choice is between another publisher and a player effort, then of course we'll support the publisher option - but we can't rely on there being one, so we've got to organize now for the possibility that we're the only ones who can try and save something from the game.

Quote:I'd suggest taking an angle that emphasizes just how much this game is a comic book game, and that without his work and the work of others like him, it wouldn't even have existed in the first place.Originally Posted by Obsidian_Light
HOLY CRAP WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THIS!!!?
Great Idea!! I'll get to work on the comic shops around my area, and I'll send Mr. Lee an email as well.
It was created by comic book fans, run by comic book fans, and played by comic books fans - and now a multinational corporation is going to shut it down because it no longer fits in with its business plan. -

Quote:I think we should wait until we have a bit more info on any potential bid from another publisher - but if we get news of a definite bid, then I think that a support campaign for their bid would encourage them.Originally Posted by Premonitions
Should we start a petition or letter writing campaign to SOE since it was rumored they were trying to buy out CoH?

Quote:Make sure to point out that the game is still profitable, and that the reasons behind the closure are still unknown.Originally Posted by Commander
I've just fired off 10 emails to some Rhode Island news sources with the subject of "Millions of Rhode Island residents to become homeless on Nov. 30."
At first it started with WPRI.com, as they were a local news station that reported on CoH back in 2004, as a family game based in Rhode Island. But I decided to keep sending the emails out in the hope that at least one source runs with the story.
If you feel up to it, google some Rhode Island News sources and send in an email of your own. Publicity will help especially if NCsoft is seen in a bad light. -

Quote:CoH is more than a game - that's why we're fighting so hard to save it.Originally Posted by AmethystAngel
Never EVER had I thought I would be so heart broken over a GAME! I need to step away from these forums because I cannot stop crying but I also cannot stop reading in the hope I read a miracle.
I want to rant, yell, scream and curse but I will not....at least not here. I have to keep in mind I am mourning a game I have loved playing for 8 years. Others, like Zwill and Posi, are mourning the sudden loss of a job. Even though I want to hop a plane and beat some sense into someone, I find myself wanting to help Zwill, Posi and so many others, ease their pain at their sudden loss. -
Quote:Reading between the lines of their financial reports, they might find any reasonable offer very hard to ignore.Originally Posted by BlueBattler
That's the other thing. No matter how good the offer may be NCSoft may refuse to sell just because they can.

Quote:With 95% of NCSoft's income coming from the Asian market, where CoH failed to make any kind of impact, I don't really think that that'd be an excuse that they could use.Originally Posted by Bloodspeaker
You forgot "refuse to sell the game, because it's existence is a viable threat to their other sources of income".

There's a rumor that within an hour of the closure statement, SOE and another un-named publisher both made offers for the game.
Like I said, it's a rumor - but it's not that far-fetched.
