I would tend to think the answer to this is simply "no". Personally I am absolutely convinced by the nonsensical name change and other rename/new social media creations. It screams of a deal specifying trademark use. But I can't imagine any way that it could possibly matter whether anyone believes them or not. So I'd suggest you just disbelieve them until you see some evidence... and I'll just believe them absolutely... and I can't see any way that makes our choices to DO anything in any way different. I mean I'd happily give them money but I've never had a chance because the donate window has always closed before I could get to it.

Yeah, if I ever get the CHANCE I'll pay. Every time I've checked the donations have been closed ... which I guess is good?

Would it be possible to speed up "Flurry"? Maybe to "Shadow Maul" speed? It has never made any sense to me that the super-speed punching is one of the slowest attacks in the game.

HEY! I have a very specific request that just occurred to me... if anybody can tweak powers. It ALWAYS bugged me. Please could you SPEED UP FLURRY! Has it EVER made sense that the super-speed punch power is one of the slowest attacks in the game? Can it be sped up to at LEAST Sands of Mu or Shadow Maul speed.

My concern would be: does the part of NCSoft that they have at the table have the support of the part of NCSoft that actually makes the final decisions? But no way to know that until a positive outcome -- if a negative outcome we'll never know.

I hear you. I'm 63 years old, I've met my heroes, I've met celebrities, I've walked in the "corridors of power"... they're all just people, just like the ones in your neighborhood. Some are jerks, some are cool, some are smart, some are dumb... just people like that guy down the street -- you know who I'm talking about.

As I understand it, Leandro very deliberately has no actual connection to Homecoming aside from offering volunteer support and advice as he has for everybody setting up a private server (and as he did for years for other players and interested hobbyists during and after Live). Leandro is a very bright guy who lives in Argentina. I understand that Argentina is not signatory to a number of international IP agreements and I SUSPECT that this is the reason he made himself the point man for the secret private server as opposed to others who live in EU or US or wherever. I would GUESS that he is still running his own game. If I'm behind the times and have missed some news that refuted the above, please correct me.

Tons of people operate under that misunderstanding -- It was probably an unfortunate choice that that branch of "Project Phoenix" "Missing World's Media" chose to name their game "City of Titans" which, I imagine, was in homage to Titan Network where they originally organized via the chat boards. But there's never been an actual connection between the organizations other than the fact that a lot of CoT people have chatted on Titan Network CoH boards at some point.

Exactly what would have happened if there had been no negotiations at all and they decide to protect the IP.

Activist investors would like you to think otherwise -- those are investors who buy a company, push for short term profits and boost performance at all costs, boost the price with their antics and sell out to move on and wreck another company. They are VERY bad for the health of businesses in the long term.

That seems like a very sensible approach and precaution and it leaves me with only one question WHY WOULD YOU ANNOUNCE THAT ?????????!!!!!!!! There are probably lots of people who did that and IF NCSoft were ever so wacko as to try to shut down private servers and find individuals to try to go after, those people will all be so low key and under the radar that NCSoft would ever know even to look for them. Unless they ANNOUNCED that that was what they were planning in a public forum!
