I haven't seen Rick Astley mentioned.  Several years ago he was a player and regular poster on the official forums.  I don't know what his interest level is now, but he had an active appreciation for the game in the past.

*Waves* You csn cross Mercedes Lackey off your list to be contacted, since I'm her.  Did some serious networking at DragonCon (after I stopped crying).  I won't blow sunshine up your derrieres, but the single person in my personal circle of friends that I know can get things done on this scale is aware, is also a player, is furious and is seeing what can be done.

*thumbs up*  :D

...c'mon, spill the identity of your friend!!  ;)

But seriously, any additional help is more than welcome, as far as I'm concerned!

...still thinking the cast and crew of The Big Bang Theory would be fantastic if they could be contacted...imagine an entire episode centered around it somehow...assuming it could be shot in time....   8)

Your books have been bumped to the top of my reading list! ;D

I've contacted Vangelus.  He's got a big internet following and is a DJ at Cape Radio.  I'm sure he's already heard about all this but I figured it wouldn't hurt to send a message just in case.

I'm at work right now, so I can't look into this that much, but has anyone thought of Chris Hardwick at "The Nerdist". I've only watched it a few times but thought this might be something he would talk about on the show.

Wow, it is great having you a) here and b) supporting our efforts to save CoH/V to a larger extend than I at least would ever have hoped even in my most optimistic moments! Thank you very much for both and also for raising this with your friends and securing the support of the mystery person. Good news like this are in short supply these days and therefore doubly appreciated! :)

We could try to get in touch with the escapist's viral video star, Jim Sterling. He makes "angry" videos about injustices and what not. He may like the idea, if he wants to support what we should describe as "A desperate attempt at paying NCSoft just to play a game. What's wrong in being paid, seriously ?"

If I had to guess, then it could be Bill Fawcett, the author and co-founder of Mayfair Games - I've been hearing some very vague whispers - but as they're as vague as the debunked SOE rumor, so I'm holding off spreading them.

Your books have been bumped to the top of my reading list! ;D

If you want something superhero related, she's written stories based on her CoH charatcers and the game setting:

http://www.amazon.com/Invasion-Book-Secret-World-Chronicle/dp/1439134197

These are also available as a podcast:

http://secretworldchronicle.com

She's also helped to make life difficult for "Twixt", the college professor who claimed his serial griefing in PvP zones was part of a social experiment for a paper he was writing, and she's been a guest author for the AE, with her arc "Mystery on the Broadwalk" - so as far as her spandex credentials and CoH fan rating goes, she's much closer to having a Statesman star tattoo than she is to asking in broadcast chat where the trainer in Atlas Park is.

As someone who is in the tabletop gaming industry, I highly doubt this.

I've been reading your books for years, and re-read them often.  The whole community appreciates anything you or your friend can do to help.

We should be very careful about saying these things.  Right now we just need to trust in our star-powered friend and continue with what we've been doing.   

HOWEVER, you did make me realize something (that is fairly obvious, mind you); the fact that she cannot reveal the identity of her friend means that it's someone who's going to be able to pull some weight.  Whoever it is, I am hopeful.  Thanks again, Mercedes.

All I can say is action is being taken and was started today.  Go out and rattle your turtle shells, finger your beads, spin your prayer wheels for my friend, and keep pursuing EVERY possible other venue, because we have no way of knowing which one will pan out.

I am completely unashamed to admit that the noise I just made wasn't human.

To echo the Whedon idea, though they're not "celebrities" per se, I've been thinking all weekend of how we might approach the Browncoats, see if they might be able to help get the word out (doubtless some of us are they, or they are we, or whatever).

Anyone know of the best way to try and reach out to them?

Awesome, thank you very much! However this will end, it is an honour and a pleasure having you in our corner.
