I drove by the old Paragon Studios which is still just an empty building the other day and it got me to thinking what ended up happening to that awesome team behind CoH/CoV?
-
I recently learned that Sean McCann (Dr. Aeon) is the lead developer for Neverwinter but I don't know about the rest.

I remember last year Matt Miller got fired from Star Trek Online

Where do I start...?
Here's what Twitter tells us at a glance at the moment:
Joe Morrissey (aka Hero 1): Game Designer. Currently @SuckerPunchProd on Infamous: Second Son and @VyeGame. http://www.vyegame.com Check out my blog http://www.GameDesignerJoe.com
Eric Cleaver (aka TheOcho): Also known as Piestro and Ocho. Doing Community Stuff for Trion Worlds.
Jeff Hamilton (aka Arbiter Hawk): Senior Systems Designer on @AtlasReactor at @TrionWorlds. I tweet about #GameDev, #DnD, and occasionally comics/superhero media.
Keetsie Braz da Cuhna (aka Tunnel Rat): "Poor neglected Twitter account."
Al Rivera (aka Geko): Star Trek Online Lead Designer.
Hosun Lee (aka Black Pebble): Marketing Guys on lots of games. Fortnite / Infinity Blade/ City of Heroes / Stuff(TM). Mostly evil. Craves Jamba Juice.
Sean McCann (aka Dr. Aeon): Content designer for Neverwinter, Commander Ander on the official forums. Formerly Dr. Aeon from CoH. and dev on Star Trek Online.

O_o (bAss_ackwards): Video games! They're fun and I work on them too.
Nate Birkholz (aka Second Measure): iOS developer, photographer. I chain optionals for a living.

Jessie Lawrence (aka Hit Streak): I manage esports social media for @twitch. Esports never sleeps! Riot Games alum.
Andy Belford (aka Zwillinger): Player Relations Manager for Riot Games.

If we were ever allowed any non-lore questions during Matt's anniversary Q&A, I'd definitely want to ask what all the devs are up to these days.

Damn, Didn't know that... What happened there?
I had been wondering what he was up to when I realized I think he deleted his Twitter as @mmodesigner is no longer an active account.

He's still active. He just changed his handle to @ManyThingsDeck since he's not working on MMOs now.

As in the Dungeons and Dragons Artifact.

He HASN'T been heard from, so not so much kick A$$, as it were.

So, he's the Anonymous-man. ;D

Developer 13 was the one who put glitches in the game to, "Make it more fun".

Dave, in accounting got a job delivering pizzas.
Michelle, the game mechanics developer got married, became a mommy and is working on that right now.
Kevin, the game designer opened a dress bontique. His motto: "No Capes!"
George, the game story writer got a job writing children's books where bad little kids get eaten.
That one guy, with the...you-know, became a professional wrestler. He goes by the name The Compiler.

Dink...is doing costumes again...but this time for Marvel Heroes online.

Hey, PsychicKitty, can you tell what I'm thinking?
Probably something involving catnip and an expensive hotel room for the weekend.
-
All the Devs were replaced by foreign H1b visa holders who work for far less and supposedly have skills lacking in their American counterparts. One of theDevs was quoted as saying, "Do you want fries with that?"
-
Black Pebble is currently working for Deathstroke as a hacker/intel guy.

This is interesting, to say in the least.. I have always liked Poz and Craig. They had great ideas, but never really took shape, like is STO crew death.
I know this might be wishful thinking, maybe this could be the start of getting the band back together, to make a superhero mmo.
That or id love the devs to join one of the spiritual successors(most likely CoT).
-
All the Devs died in a tradegic house fire in Fresno, CA. They apparently were trying to use a Raspberry Pi to run City of Heroes when some one spilled his Red Bull on the rig. The house went up like tissue paper soaked in gasoline.
-
I would believe that, except I live in a town that boarders Fresno, and that was not on the local news. ;-)

Maybe they paid to keep it hush-hush. I blame the Russians.

I know Castle was working on ESO as recently as march 2016.

Actually, City of Titans is almost completely done. There is one nagging issue. Half the team wants:
.mainScreen {
max-width: 100%;
width: 600px;
}And the other half wants:
.mainScreen {
width: 100%;
max-width: 600px;
}
Neither side will budge and both sides insist that their way is the correct way.
Developers :roll:

I know he's not with Zenimax anymore, not since... well around March actually.
I haven't heard an update from him lately and his linkedin doesn't show anything new, so I'm not sure if he's still looking or doing something outside the industry.

ArbiterFabulous checked into TheCapeRadio's IRC tonight. He just released a new book (http://www.ajmayall.com/2017/04/the-art-of-madness-available-now.html).

That one guy, you know who, well he was spotted at the rescue mission last night. When asked, he said that he was helping out, but his clothes and personal hygene spoke volumes about being homeless. And I think he was the guy who coded that enhancement unslotter thingie. Anyway, it just goes to show you, we are lucky to wake up in the morning.

People going dark could actually be an indication they are working on something - remember the power of the NDA.

It is all powerful, and unbreakable! Like some magic spell that leaves you bereft of honor, and penniless if you break your vow!
