I'm talking to the person now in private messages and I'm kind of worried it's a scam. I hope he proves me wrong and I also don't want his group to interfere and with what the hell Mary group is doing.

 This is his last reply to me:

For the moment being our Group has a way that might help us bring CoH back unfortunately i cant give more information than that.. But we can always use more help if you are interested as a loyal member of CoH

I had a sudden urge to do the Freaklympics arc this evening.   :D

I know it was a story arc, but now that I think of it, Freaklympics would have made a great summer event!

Isn't there some kind of maxim about responding to strangers on the internet making monetary requests/inquiries?  :P

Yeah, CoH page removes those asking directly for money. He's saying this is a survey. Him asking me to help was a private message.

This was his first two messages to me:

1. No not with that group (Hail Mary), with more of a Private group. And why do you say that if you don't mind me asking...

2. Brotha all that our group is trying to do is get some surveys from CoH members to see how people react of the Game came back but it became a monthly charged game again, and believe it or not but we did some field surveys and A LOT of people said NO to paying a monthly

Are you saying that guy from Nigeria was not really a Prince? Seriously though I would not trust to give any credit or banking information to that organization. They are going to try to profit off a product that is under IP, and if they are willing to do that, how secure do you think your info will be in their hands.

I think it's harmless informal, non-scientific data collection for whatever purpose whether educational or b.s. in the sky.  Until someone misrepresents their efforts, asks for money or simply degrades into dick-trollery then its harmless.

Sounds like they're trying to drum up some 'hard evidence' for the next round of troll accounts. Though I guess the next round would be a sequel so we'd have to call them goblin accounts.

The CoH survivors post on would you pay $14.99 to get the game pack to a "reorganized" poll after the moderator talked directly to the poster.

Take that back: the original post still exists. /shrug

That's very much what it sounds like to me.

Ah yes, the loyalty card. A truly loyal member of CoH ("member?") would be willing to pay anyone any amount to get the game back. Including paying me! Please click the donate button at the bottom of the page.

A question:

When hero becomes a vigilante and then a villain, at what point does the former heroes/heroines lose their connection to their heroic SG?

You lose ability to enter the base when you get fully to other side. You'll stay in the sg but won't be able to access the base again until you go all the way back to the original side. So if i'm a hero I can use the base as a vigilante but not once i become a villain or as a rogue on the way back.

 True.. All my villains were Rogues (technically they were deep undercover heroes) So they had access to villain bases...

His grammar alone makes me suspect of any "truth" he claims.


I for one would pay $30 a month for CoH 23.5

I would probably pay $15 a month, sure, but not consecutively for say, a year, probably. I would also be worried about the health of the game with a monetary system like that in this kind of saturated market. At the least I would suspect that it would be in maintenance mode - but a game with no players isn't fun. :(

EDIT:

Whilst I'm here, is there any cool CoH music you guys can point out to me? There was the old CoH theme, but, is there anything else?

Not sure about $30/month for CoH, but i willingly paid ~$15/month from May 2004 to shutdown and would continue if given the chance. i wouldn't even balk at $20/month for an APR sub. Actually for the last year or so  i was probably spending at least $20/month on CoH and there was a period of about a year where i had two subs before they added more character slots, so $30/month really isn't that hard to imagine.
So far so good. Onward and upward!
