Doc_Scorpion Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 15 hours ago, Zect said: CoH player numbers had been stagnant the last few times they reported player numbers, hovering at under 300k active subs. The premium server was deader than dead (you probably don't even remember it existed). The expansion zones were a no man's land. In hindsight, the death of the game should have been obvious to anyone willing to see. Yeah. I remember every quarter people would pore over the NCSoft financials, note the dropping number of players... "It's right after Christmas, they'll be back when they're bored with their new toys." "School just let out, they'll be back after the summer." "School just started, they'll be back after they settle in" Etc... etc.. Except they never did. Quarter after quarter, the same story, the same steadily slipping numbers. (IIRC, the numbers peaked about Issue 2ish, 3ish and slipped steadily thereafter.) The data was always there for those willing to see. Very, very few were willing. Unofficial Homecoming Wiki - Paragon Wiki updated for Homecoming! Your contributions are welcome!

Zep Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Unless someone 'in the know' from NC Soft speaks we really wont have a clue what all the reasoning is/was for shuttering the game. COH was always my fallback game. Play WOW a bit, get board go back to COH, play StarCraft a bit, go back to COH, etc. GW2 was the last cash I spent on NCSoft, I had already pre-ordered when I found out. I played it a bit but wouldn't buy anything for cash. Now that I have had my game back I am willing to spend money on NCSoft again, so long as they allow COH to exist. 1 ** Asus TUF x670E Gaming, Ryzen 7950x, AIO Corsair H150i Elite, TridentZ 192GB DDR5 6400, Sapphire 7900XTX, 48" 4K Samsung 3d & 56" 4k UHD, NVME Sabrent Rocket 2TB, MP600 Pro 8tb, MP700 2 TB.

I think that, had NCsoft been able to figure out a way to do it that didn't immediately kill the game due to player exodus, we'd be paying for 'special' individual costume pieces on a character-by-character basis, usable once, so if we wanted the same piece in multiple costumes for a character, we'd have to hit up the cash shop for each one (at least, judging from the way they -- and the other Asian companies running MMOs -- run the cash shops in other games, where the point is to milk players fast before they tire of the game and move on). However, if they'd been able to do that, it's also likely that the game wouldn't have been shut down. Still, that feels like a "we had to destroy the game in order to save it" scenario. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperstrike Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 And as for the people who kept it going, in secret for so long. THANK YOU! Yes, some people are salty it was kept hidden so long. But we have it now. And it'd take an act of God to dislodge us. 4 2 If you want to be godlike, pick anything. If you want to be GOD, pick a TANK!
