Thanks to every single person involved with this CoX project! I'm not holding my breath on NCsoft doing anything but A.) procrastinating eternally so as to try and make the private server owners wait to proceed or B.) firing up the C&D machine (let's hope all CoX servers are in untouchable locales).
However, at that point no one will too feel badly either way about starting up donation methods to keep our City running in perpetuity, paying those donations, or playing on and maintaining said servers.
