As Jimmy has said, Homecoming will remain free in perpetuity.

As I said earlier and will likely be saying regularly for the next month, that wasn't Titan Network, that was the guy who was in charge of the wholly separate City of Titans, though to the best of my knowledge he wasn't negotiating as lead of City of Titans, either. (It's complicated.) You read about it on Titan Network, but none of them were involved; kind of like how you can watch Congressional proceedings on C-SPAN, but C-SPAN isn't run by Congress.

PM @Mangaand presumably he'll send you the instructions.

It's okay. The game is back.

Hi. Let's cool down in here before I have to lock the thread and warn people, shall we?

Oh, certainly. Can you Perma-Haten in game? I think not.

While I would be incredibly amused if the Leakening was a massive false-flag operation, Titan Network has not been negotiating for 6-7 years. Titan has been negotiating since April. Previous attempts were not Titan. It's not all connected.

I don't know how you got that, exactly, since we've never posted that anywhere to my knowledge (and I didn't even know it was a thing! If I don't know about it, nobody on the GM team does!) but it redirects to the main manifest, so it's really six of one, half a dozen of the other.

We don't operate or support Cream Soda, so I don't believe we can do anything about this.

Uh, one argument at a time, please. XD

Yeah, and it's unfortunate, but somebody's got to do it.

Then you have heard wrong. I'm not saying any of this to disagree with the rest of your argument, mind you - again, I advocate cautious optimism - but I have been telling people that's wrong for nearly four months and I'd like to get the point across. xD

No, we haven't. Contrary to "common knowledge", Titan Network hasn't been involved in any of the prior buyout attempts beyond providing a space to talk about them on their forums. The Paragon attempt died pretty early on, Hail Mary never bore fruit, and the downix attempt just sort of disappeared years ago (and for all we know, may have been much less serious than it was made out to be). This is the real deal. I'm not saying it's absolutely guaranteed, but my understanding is that it's much closer than any previous attempt.

Well, there are 10-15 private servers and the source code is out in the wild, which is a big change.

Bloody hell - fixed, thanks. I mean, you did post in it a page before! 😃

There was a whole discussion on this in a previous announcement which you can read here.

Hello, friends. Please refrain from personal attacks and grandstanding, thanks.

I'm sorry, Abraxus, but that sounds an awful lot like logic and reasoning, and that's not allowed here. Please move along. /s

NCsoft isn't blind. There's going to be a target on us no matter what, unless this succeeds. (And to your inevitable counterpoint, I'd advise cautious optimism - the lay of the land has changed quite a bit from the downix attempt.)

Ah, hold on - City of Titans and Titan Network are two completely different entities. We are wholly unaffiliated with City of Titans and their success or lack thereof has no bearing on our efforts.

Won't do you any good, I banned her hours ago.

Accounts were synced this morning, so everyone who made an account in the last ~6 weeks should be able to access Justin now.

Indeed, Good work, though.
