I hate to say it, but I don't think this is just a new notification of old news. Note the references to in-game closing events - this sounds almost like a 're-set' of the closing the way everyone thought it should be done. I'm honestly a bit worried this means they really lost the bargain. Maybe someone can get a quick confirmation that discussions are still ongoing? That much they should still be able to tell us.
No, this has to happen even if City is saved. NCsoft isn't going to continue this product. They have to shut down their servers, they have to close their version of the game. Period. This is just an email saying as much. It doesn't contain any new news. Hit Streak posted the closure events several days ago on the forums (and I think the main website).

Further, I believe the text is exactly the same as the initial closing announcement posted back on August 31, 2012.  This isn't anything new, in any sense.

I haven't gotten the e-mail.  I never get e-mails about anything CoH-related except for things like "you submitted a Help request" and "you applied a code to your account."  I haven't for over three years now, and I have no idea why.  I've checked all the settings on all the websites that control this sort of thing, too.  I know I'm not the only one like this.

tl; dr: Don't read anything in particular into this.

Olantern, I never get anything more than what you get, but I also got this, yesterday. I think that may lend some credence to the "blocks" theory.

As to the type of blocks, I'm going to go with LEGO. I hate LEGOs, because I always ever seem to find them in the dark with the bottom of my feet.  :D
I wouldn't use the word "replace," but there's no word for "take over for you and make everything better almost immediately," so we just say "replace."

I have yet to receive this email too. The last communication I had from NCSoft regarding CoH was for the launch of Nature Affinity on 22nd August (with the exception of some costume codes notifications).

The only subtext to read from this is that it took that long for the NCSoft PR department to dress up the text in a pretty email to send out.

Which, frankly, is not too surprising given what we've seen out of them before.

I haven't had it yet, either. Come to think of it, I /never/ get any emails about COH. *shakes fist*

My SECONDARY account got the e-mail, still waiting on it on my primary.

So not happy, I forwarded it to all the e-mail addresses that I have for NCSoft with a nice little response... OK, maybe not so nice.

I received it. My coworkers will distinctly remember me hissing at my phone the moment I got it.
