Or was that still an independent effort? Has SEGs been officially abandoned?
Paragon Chat is an offshoot of efforts to reverse engineer CoH, much like Icon before it. That said there's no proof that it's directly related to whoever or whatever SCoRE might be. Certainly efforts to reverse engineer the original servers would have to go far beyond what's being done with Paragon Chat due to the greater complexity of the servers and
not having actual server code to work with, but it does show that reverse engineering the client has been pretty successful, so there's that.
