City of Heroes thread continued

Im going to sleep. If i dont see news of the heads of people responsible on a pike tomorrow morning, im going to be upset. Keep up the good fight boys

here is a quick tldr for anyone missing the last thread

>game was revealed to be alive all this time
>all those talks of private servers being impossible have been bullshit
>the main moderator of the CoH subreddit was given the code + database to run the game
>game was at it's latest update, even had a new class and powersets added.
>instead of releasing it to the public, he only released it for a very small and select few
>impossible for the average joe to find, only can get in if you're known by one of the small few allowed in the club

don't talk like that, i'm going to start yelling really loudly!

what's the tl;dr

were we going to get a new official city of heroes re-launch or a private server equivalent and one big faggot ruined it all?

If I would have to play it with a cabal of children who want to keep their toy all to themselves I would've leaked everything too.

This is relevant to Yea Forumss interests as well. You can never have enough people in a lynch mob.

This writing style looks very similar to the archived post in the OP, might have been the same guy.

>City Of Hereos but no powers and the only thing you can do is chat

No, but these faggots are going to try and say they always meant to give it to us. Don't mind the six years of secrecy and the outright lies, they totally meant the best for everyone guys :D

Did the private server software get leaked?

Who is Tony Vasquez? Did he corroborate with this guy? Can he get rolled up too?

City of Heroes has had a secret private server with everyone's account data for years. All talk of the game being impossible to get a private server for, all the people shutting down discussion of secret private servers, and all of the kickstarter CoH private server projects were people inside the clique playing on this private server fronting bullshit to keep it hidden and pay for its expenses. This has been going on for six years. The entire City of Heroes reddit moderation staff is in on it, and has admitted to having their bot specifically set up to automatically ban people talking about a private server.

Basically, you live in the worst timeline.

Leandro is talking about Paragon Chat, but obviously they were using assets from the private server to set that shit up. The deleted tweet was probably someone outing the private server or hinting at it too obviously.

Nobody noticed because no one thought it existed, because these nerds were actively gaslighting everyone.

So what the hell happens now? The super secret club these turbo faggots have been keeping for themselves has been exposed, the biggest perpetrators have been named, and the vitriol is starting to roil. We know heads will roll. We know possible legal shenanigans are definitely possible.

The hell does the average bloke get outta this? Unless ownership of the server changes hands or isn't deleted completely out of spite I can't imagine a positive outcome here.

It's been an experience watching this unfold. I'm absolutely amazed to watch Yea Forums actually lean on the side of justice by collectively agreeing it would be better to lose everything than to let one debased tyrant have it just for themselves. It's a real heartening moment even if it's born out of the seeds of vengeance.

Know in your heart that even if it's the greatest sacrifice you can make, it's worth it to ensure evil doesn't win.

Holy fuck

That's what the neckbeard leaker says, and it's what Tony and Leandro would really want to deny, because if it's true that's a pretty big leak of private information.

>So what the hell happens now?
Realistically? Absolutely fucking nothing. Because that's how the real world works.

Maybe he wasnt a complete faggot back then, who knows.

Best possible outcome is someone other than Leondro has the game files, and uploads them all, but seeing as he's jealously guarded this shit for six years I really doubt he ever actually gave the whole thing to anyone else.

>So what happens now
Absolutely fucking nothing. Thats why its infuriating.

They definitely have everyone's account data. The big question is if the data is just account names and character data or if they have sensitive data like payment info and personal data.

We see it all crash and burn.

My guess is NCsoft will C&D and kill it for good

A better alternative then letting it fester among evil nerd villains

We had nothing to start with, we can only gain.

I'd rather it was truly gone for good than used by some motherfucker to manipulate people while fellating his own ego. It's like knowing a necrophile is fucking the corpse of a good friend that died. Even if someone could magically bring him back to life some day as long as the corpse isn't destroyed, is it worth letting him fuck it until it can be found?

Leo can't be blamed, he just never stopped RPing a villain. He's mentally unwell and needs our help.

>City of Heroes returns to kill WoW after WoW completely blew City of the Heroes out of the water when WoW launched a month or two after CoH did

Well we know who holds the server data. Best case scenario is someone hacks his PC and steals it.

The only amount of power and control they will ever have in their pathetic lives

We can only hope claims that they've been making money off of it are true. If that is the case then they are all in deep fucking shit.

CoH fans have been mad as fuck at ncsoft for being so scummy about it's closing and their treatment of the dev studio since it happened. The main thing that bonded all of those people together was the community and how "great" it all was.
Now that same community finds out that it was betrayed by a large number of its most prominent members. Not just the ones who've been named, but lots of other highly-recoginizable/public names are also "in the know", and without knowing who's who, anyone who's even been recoginized for a loud fart vageuly resembling a power SFX is gonna be suspect.
I mean, the fact itself is big on its own, but the complete and utter shattering of the community bond and trust is a whole other bag of wormy dicks. There's nothing they can do to fix this. The schism is permanent, and I guarantee you a lot of people are gonna pull a fade and re-handle soon to go underground and hide from the shit they'd be getting.

Nothing. We are never going to play CoX again. Today is much like yesterday, except now we know we *could* have been playing it.

>specifically tries to throw the legitimate private server project under the bus while claiming nobody is REALLY upset

what a fucking scumbag

My friend, this wasn't "private server software". That clown shoe has been sitting on the retail server software and character database since CoX shut down, and making people twiddle his prostate to be allowed in all these years.

hacking some random pleb's PC to copy data is a lot easier than trying to hack into a server farm.

Is this retard serious?

I love how these guys always manage to make it worse than if they just kept their mouth shut.

It would legitimately be easier to find his house, break into it, and physically steal his computer.

>nothing in his past indicates that was his intention

Considering the shit has been running six years I think we can safely say that's quite the damn contrary

Isn't it completely clear that if it hadn't been secret the private server would have been shut down immediately by the publisher?

The inside developer who leaked it probably had these terms to start with. I don't see how you can blame them aside from being peeved that you got left out. It's not like they could reach out to every player without effectively destroying the game again.

Yes, the servers needed to be secret, but he could've put all of that data up fucking anywhere anonymously and there'd be a lot more than fucking one

Retribution for everyone involved. That's all I ask.
This is absolutely disgusting behavior on their part and they absolutely must be punished.

It happens with lots of dead mmos and even other online games

Fans make their own servers and theres so much or so small that a lot of the times it's not worth their effort

But keeping one secret for your friends only especially one with such a big following

Its unheard of

there I made a version the faggot can't edit, copy it or whatever, spread it everywhere

Nigger. All he had to fucking do was disseminate it out anonymously using torrents. You think NcSoft is going to be able to do something not ever ActiBlizzard has been able to do? Any talk of "They had to keep it secret of the evil lawyers will get them" is fucking stupid. Hes a greedy, ego-maniacal, self absorbed twat who has been lying to the community he claims to care about for over 6 fucking years.

He deserves to fucking burn.

Send someone in to kill him. Let there be punishment for this shit.

use this one

I'm seriously impressed how they were able to keep this under wraps for 6 whole years.

If he keeps it secret he's dead. And if he deletes it he's going to be extra fucking dead.

CoH was a good enough game, I fully believe there are more than a few people out there who will be royally pissed about this and be successful or powerful enough to get involved.

It's all going to burn. This guy kept everything a secret with the reasoning that he was keeping a little part of the community alive, and might maybe give others the privilege of being so blessed one day (SIX FUCKING YEARS), and now the community is going to twist inside out and eat itself. He has single handedly destroyed it.

Well he must have been yearning for an entry in the Guinness Book then, because he set a land-speed record for going from 0 to Faggot instantly when he received the goods but didn't spread them.

>when discovering there was a long-kept city of heroes emulator secretly running helps you finally see and realize things are truly worse than you ever knew and that conspiracies ARE real--ALL of them.

No that's retarded.
Return of Reckoning operates and they aren't allowed to take any money at all, even just donating for server costs

the fact some random vandalized your shit in the first place is why you couldn't get an invite fag haa cant keep even a google doc organized

At this point, the character data is a wash. Whatever they've got, it's gonna be flushed. You're never gonna see that shit released.
The server itself, maybe, but someone's gonna have to get access and pull a dump-and-run on it. Lizardfag literally can't do it now even if he wanted to(which I'm sure he doesn't. He wants this to go away and everything back to normal.) - he's the name attached to it, and if it magically ends up in the public domain, he's the first guy under the gun.

Nah. Everyone of us will talk a big game, but none of us will even lift a finger.
Except one guy who isn't actually posting about it, but is probably rooting through darknet for cheap B&E guys in argentina, who will then proceed to get ahold of leandro's collection of brie larson shop porn, but miss the portable with the server on it.

Oh god, her in porn would be a nightmare. Those feet would immediately turn away all forms of arousal. Bitch has fucking cryptwalker toes.

Stop. That sounds too realistic.

I still want to know why a CoX dev give him the source code and character database.

Yes, except everyone thought the evil was a hero all along. It'll make for a grand final issue, but the ending leaves us all a bit concerned.

Pahhhhhh, a secret server? I don't believe it.

Look at the picture of OP I bet he is a schizophrenic autistic delusion-haver.

Plus, I bet if the creator saw this thread, he'd want to delete your characters so that they're gone forever ;)

Nothing he can say will make this betrayal any less infuriating. This faggot has been lying to the entire community for 6 years while his dicksuckers and friends have been playing the game as if it never closed behind their backs the entire time. He'd be better of mocking them and neener neener-ing like they've probably wanted to do for years so the entire community implodes and dies a final death so they stop bothering him

Then become a Leo friend, not a foe.
I just don't understand all of these reddit tier hunting, since it's his choice to delete all data, make it private or make it public.
He chose 2nd option, and all worked fine until some faggot ruined everything. And after it everyone could just be happy and befriend him, but decided to curse him for his "wrong" choice.

If there was one game i always wanted to play it was this, and i had the chance too for the last 6 years?

>Satire/Joke
Please tell me it is.

How can any of you fuckers defend this?

Fuckers stole all the data related to the game and instead of leaking it, used it to play with their friends on a private server for years. Doing that while banning, berating, mocking, and silencing anyone who claimed they had a private server.

And that's just what we know as an absolute fact. All the rest of this isn't totally proven yet but you don't even need it for this to situation to reek.

He's going to take his ball home and burn everything, you know it, I know it. He was never going to share this and he'll make sure that if he and his clique can't have it, no one will.

But would you suck fat Argentinean cock and give him loads of money to do so?

Literally no one is defending this. People are actually trying to find out his address.

you're getting Tony mixed up with Leo in there, and the kickstarter stuff is all unconfirmed, but yeah, pretty much

If you actually played MMOs, you'd know that you can still grind out everything you've done with the same looks and abilities. Let my 15 year old characters wither away, I just want a chance to play this with other fans of the game without having to bootlick an insane person to even try.

Larpers mostly

This is fine.
He literally tried to protect his project from plebs. Everyone knew the rules. When you vouching for someone, be ready to be fucked up.

what is the problem with this
wasn't it not functioning in the first place? can't you just swap the original hardware back in?

South American anons can deliver. Just compile the info and they'll turn him into glue.

Pretty sure the kid was serious, and went “i was pretending to be retarded” when he got his sorry ass flamed

Argentina isn't Brazil man

>he thinks Argentina is white

You either have to be in on it, or retarded, but probably both. The game is going to die forever now because only one person had it, and Leo is going to get sued. RIP CoH

I had to look at a map because you made me second guess.

Stop being retarded.

No you fucking moron, the reason people are fucking upset is because the person who has been running the server has been one of the biggest names in the community since the shut down of the original game.
Hes has the code for the game for 7 fucking years while continually going around the community telling people it was impossible to emulate the game in any way shape or form and that the only hope of getting the game back was to rebuild is from scratch(SEGS) or wait for NcSoft to release it.
And while hes been telling us all this he secretly hosted the actual fucking code for the game and all our account data with all of our old characters for himself and his clique just so he can stroke his tiny dick and scam money of people.

Quoted By: No, you picked the worst example you could have.

CoH handled a great degree of its data on the server side of things. The way the game is built makes it pretty much impossible to create a private server. At the time of its closure, not many games at all were built like that.

When they gave the shutdown notice, there was not enough time for people to document and capture it all. Maybe they could have but the community spent most of its time trying to petition NCSoft to keep the game running. Wildstar already has some private projects aiming to be playable at some point.

that's why City of Heroes doesn't have private servers.

All of these are wrong. City of Heroes was not terminated because they needed the servers for GW2, or that they needed funding for Wildstar. City of Heroes was turning a higher profit annually than Aion and Lineage II combined, yet those products are still going. (Though mostly due to Korean pride; NCSOFT HQ was livid when NC West decided to close Lineage I)

The real truth is that nobody knows the truth. Most employees at Paragon Studios didn't know until the day of. The server team in TX didn't know until the day of. NC West didn't know until the day of; everyone there was too busy planning for the Aion PAX party that day, and all of a sudden a studio was just fucking gone. Prevailing theory about what happened, though, and you'll never read this in any interview, is that TH Kim (brother of NCSOFT CEO TJ Kim) was trying to undermine TJ's wife, Dr. Yoon, who has pretty much been the driving factor in running NC West. It was a decision that made absolutely no financial sense and conferred no real benefit; City of Heroes was more than supporting itself, and had content planned out far in advance.

The server farm wasn't aware, ArenaNet wasn't in need of server space, and Carbine employees were just as stunned--and afraid for their own job security--when the news hit.

tl;dr, family drama is the likeliest culprit of killing City of Heroes, not other games, nor the game's financials.

Niggerbitch, I am the lord of pwoer.

I hope you CoHfags get your justice. Truth is I'm jealous and wish my favourite MMO was as beloved.

It's not like he had an obligation to leak it or anything. Sounds like a bunch of whiny babies mad because they weren't in on the secret club.

COH became a heavily instanced game very quickly, so that stuff wasn't an issue nearly as often as you'd think.
More and more contacts were becoming character-private, and towards the end they were even implimenting mud-style Realm technology to fracture up the world itself and produce permanent alterations you'd cause that were persistent for the rest of that character's existence, but they didn't get the chance to use it in too many places.
Breaking immersion in an MMO is largely the fault of lazy and uncreative devs, not an inheriant problem with the genre.

Koreans have an entirely different outlook on MMOs, all their korean MMOs are shallow shit that's all flash no substance so they don't comprehend growing attachment to them. The game will probably be dead and uninstalled off the cybercafe's PCs in a few months anyway, after vanity lingerie outfits on the cash shop stopped selling. The only one they REFUSE to let die is Lineage for god knows what reason it's a shitty soulless PvP grinder like all the lineage clones that followed it. Must be the WoW phenomenon the only thing that can kill Lineage is NCSoft itself
meanwhile CoH was, like, an actual fun little game and not a WoWclone and didn't turbojew so the Koreans were baffled and confused by it.

COH was fucking huge for a time, it had 180k subscribers and had a steady content stream with a stable playerbase. This faggot kept sabotaging any attempt to make a pub server and did so for 6 years, while having a sekrit club server for the less than 2k who would suck his dick vigorously enough to play it.

CoX was supposedly killed for its server blades. Which went to GW2. But then again they also refused to sell the property when actual development team wanted to buy it so fuck if I know what's going on there.

Did it really come down toa guy stealing all the files because he didn't trust koreans only to put his faith into somebody worse? Did NCsoft not have the files all this time and it was this dumb nigger who did?

Hardware i doubt it, unless some type of mission impossible was made to take the computers and send them to argentina, it was probably just the software and data.

You are a redditor or you have no fucking idea. CoH graphics were dated even when it was released, the missions were the same shit over and over again, but that game...that game had a spirit not even WoW could get in a million years.

Not even the version they have supposedly been working on, the original files just so there was a public backup that would never go away. Do you think that is possible to do?

Not one person in this entire supposedly program savvy friend group could upload a torrent from within a country with little to new laws concerning doing so, or dropped it through a USB at an internet cafe or something?

You know the fucking answer.

Fuck man this shit isnt right and I wont be silenced. I will never ever forget this and that fucking argentine cunt will burn.

He could have distributed it around the world and had flawless private servers everywhere almost as soon as the official servers went down.
Instead he chose to keep it hostage to fellate himself, and at this point it is known he is the only one with it so even if it got out everyone would know where it came from.

I haven't seen this much shilling since the original Borderlands release. It's almost like there is a group of thousands of known liars desperate to keep this quiet. Really fucking weird.

Right, so you're one of the few people who isn't flocking to controversy like said, obviously.

>CoH graphics were dated even when it was released, the missions were the same shit over and over again,
I never had the game myself, I always wanted to play it, graphically it looked better than WOW at the time, and had cool combat, I waited for years to get a pc to be able to play it, and it shut down when I finally got one. But I always admired how good it looked for the timeframe, especially compared to it's contemporaries.

10/10

It's worth noting, as someone on the massivelyop article comments points out, that there are plenty of Lineage 2 private servers, which is also an NCSoft game. I'm pretty sure they could have easily spread CoH around.

Don't worry, most people itt won't leak it either being too pussy. Also probably tried to capitalize on this too.
Most people are hypocrites, thats why they want to do bad things instead of looking for peaceful methods to get server data.

is it true that software stuff got leaked? Yea Forums server when?

A true hero.

This is some serious shit. IRS is coming for that ass now.

>City of Heroes
Small niche game taken down to pave the way for Wildshit. Funny story about this one, there was an expansion on the way right before it was taken down. NC refused to sell the rights of the game to Paragon, so the expansion never saw the light of day.

The monthly cost to maintain the server appears to be around $1000, the current playerbase of around 1500-2000 account holders donate abit of $3000 quarterly to maintain the server and pay for its upkeep

How the hell do you get 2k people and not a single whistleblower until now?

Never ever unless we have the perfect autist or one of these serverfags does something right for once

From what I've heard, most if not all attempts to start a CoH private server quickly got C&D'd by NCsoft. Was that just a rumor to keep this under wraps, or...?

The only possible excuses I can imagine is that he had no idea how or where to pass on said assets (which goes out the window because he's a community leader for one of the ONLY CoH projects - on top of the fact that he's had opprotunities to communicate with indie devs recreating the game from scratch), or that he was worried the employee handing him everything was actually a plant to get him sued (which also seems bullshit since he still ended up hosting a private server for profit for years). Everything just points to him being a selfish asshole on a major power trip.

the whole costume creator was amazing. It blows DCUO out of the water, that game obviously ran into technical limitations on the kind of costumes they could create in the engine. Or maybe the graphic artist guys just sucked I dunno

Before I would have said it was real, but now, I'm not so sure.

When someone raids his house to get the files he got from the former employee, as far as anyone knows he is the only one with the original data.

No.
Absolutely nobody on earth except an insane argentinean has it. Not even the original devs.
This is why we're mad.

according to the leaker most attempts were shut down by this faggot, wouldn't be surprised if he was the one tipping them off.

This is the scummiest part. The dude wasn't some nobody, he was one of the biggest people in the community constantly commenting on this subject as a smoke screen.

WoW has a huge private server community and that shit was put together from scratch. This dude has been sitting on the latest retail version of official software for 6 fucking years.

I hope it burns.

These guys have been deeply involved with the CoX community since it went down.
They have worked from inside to shut down and delay every other attempt to get working servers.

Damn, how deep does the rabbit hole go???

> How the hell do you get 2k people and not a single whistleblower until now?

They did have whistleblowers. A lot of them. Admins in all the major CoH communities (reddit, titan network, etc) were fucking IN ON IT and would gaslight the shit out of anyone trying to leak.

I've never even played it, but I would personally wrench this Leoandro guy's eyes out of their socket and jam them up his urethra. What a disgusting excuse for a human.

Thank you for scrutinizing the purity of every poster in this thread's love for COH, to chase away "controversy chasers". What a completely natural activity for someone who supposedly doesn't give a shit about the game. You couldn't possibly have an ulterior motive could you?

I JUST WANT TO PLAY A VILLAIN AGAIN FUCK!

I never played City of Heroes because back when it was out i was a lil' shit kid with no way of getting my parents to pay for a MMO subscription, however, i still remember having a gaming magazine that talked about the sequel or expansion where you could play as a villain, and i remember thinking "the bad guy looks really cool, i wish i could play this".
So, my condolences, thanks for reading my blog.

You know he's going to delete all of it when the pressure gets too much. These kinds of people will never share their good fortune with others unless they get the ego boosting that comes with it being available to a select exclusive few. He's either going to pretend to delete it and go deep underground while cutting off anyone he doesn't explicitly trust, or he's actually going to delete it and make this entire fiasco worse, probably netting him a shitton more death threats than he's getting right now.

That's the thing, there were whistleblowers, they just had almost total control of the entire collective CoX community and with admins in all the major places, including Reddit, they were able to silence and censor anyone who talked about it and spread mountains of disinfo to keep people off the scent.

how so?

> I don't think I can believe a bunch of reddit mods have just been keeping the whole thing a secret out of pure greed and exclusivity.

Its pretty much turning out to be exactly that. Although replace Reddit with Titan Network.

The villains WERE cool. Brutes unleashed assbeating, Corrupters were offenders on crack, Masterminds were fucking FUN summoner class, and dominators were...well, actually, controllers were damned powerful too so dominators were just on-par with their heroic counterpart.
Except for stalkers, their backstab gimmick was quickly eclipsed by everybody else's AoE damage output and they got relegated to just being the guy who can ghost to the final room and TP everyone to save time. Maaaaaybe you could be useful against factions with one really important enemy to KO immediately, like Malta and their sappers.

In addition to that, they also had a chainban in place saying if you say a fucking thing not only will we ban you, but we'll ban the nigger who invited you, every nigger you invited, everyone we can confirm you know, and the nigger to the left just for good measure.

It's not about greed and exclusivity, at least I don't think it started that way. I think they did it because they didn't want their precious little toy to be taken away by someone at first. But now? It feels like jewery to the max.

Leonardo is known to be an egoistical spastic fuck. plebbit-mods are powerhungry retards who would sell their own mom to gain any kind of power. So yes, it's basically just them being egoistical poewrhungry tards who don't give a crap about anyone or anything else.

That's the one aspect that makes this so scummy to me. He knows the demand for such a beloved MMO is so high that the players, themselves, are willing to censor each other just so they can have the chance to play it. This shit would even make Recluse go "dude, that's low".

Sounds a bit tin foil hat, and NCSoft would still need to get some actual evidence.They still have to prove it beforehand. Like conduct a search under a warrant, at which point he is probably done disposing of servers and data
Unless they get some circumstantial evidence, like messages? Maybe Reddits main administration will give them access under a warrant to their backups?.They still need proofs. They need to actually find that data

>I don't think I can believe a bunch of reddit mods have just been keeping the whole thing a secret out of pure greed and exclusivity

You wot?

Report the dude to the IRS or some shit. He's probably getting massive "donations" aka bribes to get in and maintainence fees to run this from people and I doubt he's filing it in his taxes as income.

>claimed himself to be based and chad

Absolutely the least based and un-chad thing you can do. Disgraceful, user.

I can't believe this event will make reddit spacing posts real holy shit, based gaslight impersonator

Extremely low number of parts compared to CoH/CO, not as many options (like, less areas you can actually place parts - think armour parts in Morrowind vs armour parts in Skyrim), you can only have about 3 different colours on your character at one time....
There's also an insanely extensive wordfilter on names that I have never been able to figure out the rules of so you're really limited in what kind of name you can have. I'm pretty sure it couldn't have spaces in it either. And obviously most good names were taken - Champions Online avoided this by having your full character name be "[character]@[account]", e.g. Batman@user, so multiple people could have the same character name. They just hid the account name part.

Hopefully a blood sacrifice will right the wrongs of humanity.
if you guys think this is bad remember how many potential cures for cancer have come up over the years then suddenly disappeared, or more fuel efficient vehicles, etc.

someone needs to get into his house and steal the sourcecode ss13 style

IRS cant touch him.

Now I didn't play COH at the time apart from trying it out once and I know that leaking it would have been the morally right choice, but 90% of the people in this thread would have done exactly the same if they had the chance to make money from it

It's a testimony, I doubt it will hold in court as sole evidence

I feel like we should just tell NCSoft out of spite

Considering his crimes, it would be justified.

The wrong will never be righted. But blood will flow.
Time for a "Killing me won't make the world better" and "We can't know unless we try"

You are neither good guy to asking for someone else to be good. While you want to take moral ground, you can't, since you just justify any type of taking researches by force if someone don't want to publicly it.

They probably already knew

As a SWG fan, I stand with you brothers, I hope you get to finally play your MMO again and these fucks burn.

IIRC, with the change of their passive to S T A C K S mode, Stalkers could actually be better scrappers than Scrappers were, more or less.
Also, you completely forgot to mention how batshit absurd the VEATs could get, especially if you stacked multiple onto the same team. They also didn't even have to deal with dedicated FUCK YOUR SHIT enemies like Kheldians did.

No drama, just it's dead but slowly being brought back to life with a dedicated team, eventually I'll get to play the SWG I remember, and I want the same for other older MMO fans.

Some of the players were CIA and KGB agents.

Am I in the wrong for wanting all the things that could benefit others to be freely shared?

They didn't, it was never a secret. All they did was make it into a conspiracy. Once it's something that people accept only crazy people believe you don't need to keep that tight a lid on it. Sounds familiar yaknow.

It's explained in the thread. Mods throughout the community were in on it and everyone that attempted to come clean had their friends and family banned as well.

By actively silencing any attempted leaks

Someone here in Mar 2016 knew about it

They had eyes everywhere protecting the secret.

>"we"

Typical DEADWEIGHT

Is there a screenshot or anything of the subreddit mods admitting they were banning people who spilled the beans?

Read the thread
but basically they had people in high places on most of the community sites (including the CoX subreddit where they also have a bot for detecting and banning leaks of the server), and they had people seeding mountains of disinfo and lies to keep people from finding out about the server and still believing that it would never be possible.

People who did leak also risked getting their sponsors, friends and anyone those friends knew banned. There was real threat of fucking over their friends keeping people in line.

CoH Survivors facebook group has some guy who has posted about this for years who was made out to just be a crazy attention whore.

I watch the facebook for the odd cringe stuff people post and it sort of blended right in.

We have a Google doc with tons of info but we're never gonna get his servers. All we can pray for is retribution

Almost every single mod and community leader for CoX across the internet played on the server and gaslit any possible whistle blowing immediately.
They also picked up and changed the addresses for everything at the drop of a hat and threaten bans on everyone in the entire chain of invites from a leaker along with any friends they may have had on the server.

>BattleForge is back before CoH
kek

No, they're trying to play it off as lies when it's plainly obvious they not only have people on the mod team watching for leaks but also a bot for automated keyword based bans

oh shit that's because i forgot about the arachnos soldier/widows
i had one of those mega-leadership spiders who brought the grenades and the softcaps, shit was funny

I don't know the specifics of how the CoH server operates, but in the case of a private EQ server, I could run mine off of a regular PC with my small handful of friends. Keep playercount +1 zoneservers up and running at any one time, and the performance was fine.

Yes.
You can't force someone else to make something free. Yet you can be that man who make something (yours) free.
You just a parasite wanting for something good in this case. See at imageboards, that got less and less content over years because of pretty much same mentality.
Everyone wants content, but not everyone want to share for free something their. And it's totally ok. Just don't be a bad person.

Theres a few in here
as well as the vid in the op.
Also we're going to need another thread soon someone hurry.

Well that's obvious. The idiot was so selfish that he wanted to be the only living CoX server ever. He didn't want to deal with the consequences of his decisions, so he projects his blame onto the people he let down. It's not like every other MMO has multiple reoccuring iterations of private communities that breed like rabbits when given the proper means. He decided it's better if he forced a known market to pay him for sole access to it instead.
