City of Heroes

If its the old UI with all the new stuff, im fucking down. I loved the old look. The new look was a bit overdone.

Which is why I find it hilarious that as soon as he drops a hershey's shit-kiss of information, we have a bunch of faggots coming out of the woodwork saying "wow guize come on we're HEROES this isn't what we do!1!!" I get that death threats and doxing the guy isn't "morally justifiable" at all, but you'd have to be retarded to not realize that that's the sole reason why any potential progress is being made at this point. He doesn't give a shit, he's scared.

>my grandma died and my puppy was sick so I couldn't release the code for six years
If you fall for any of this I have no words.

Faggot has my retail char, fuck this asshole

Give me a quick rundown, are they planning to actually make it public?

>It's coming home edition
not until some argentinian steals the drives. You'll just get a bait and switch.

we're going home

Is it really? I tough Leo just dumped the authentication server and fucked off?

Yeah everyone's fucking grandparents died because it's been six fucking years. Of all people, why the fuck was it this guy who was given the source code.

>we
Fuck off back to crapchan.
You morons already managed to get yourselves on a couple of alphabet soup agencies lists with you ebin edgelord mosque shooter and general depraved pedoshit you allow over there,no reason to drag this place down the shithole you're in alongside you just because you're lonely pathetic pieces of shit excuses for human beings.

If you believe Leandro, he is. He already released the authentication server.

i meant the hardware.
according to leandro, so grain of salt, it took multiple old machines running specialized hardware because that's what the code was written for

Classic pity. Always looking so pathetic to deflect. my 7 year relationship with my best friend ended with betrayal, my cat died, I had to tell an old man hes been diagnosed with cancer as a make shift translator for a doctor because I was in the area, I was mugged AND had to endure everyone being happy around me all in the course of a fucking month. Harden the fuck up Leo, life is shit, crazy and chaotic, give me the access codes to my hero Zion (gravity/kin controller).

He didn't give two shits about them becuase they weren't angry. Now you have fags on 2^2^2chan who got his personel information down to his birth certificate and stalk around his house. Dude has good reason to start caring now.

>Honestly at this point the only thing that's saving the poor bastard is the fact that no one knows exactly where he is right now, and the Cripplechan maniacs are working on that as we speak.
they actively are trying to kill him and steal his shit. Going by the psots there I'm not sure if giving up the server would stop him. Apprently there's a pciture of the server floating around that cuck boy himself uploaded. I'm anoyed this faggot was making 1 mill usd to keep the server running and let himself live like a king in hue land for 6 years.

So when is the rest coming?

>2^2^2chan
2*2*2chan

Oh righto. Well, it was a pretty old game in need of an upgrade at some point. Lets just hope we can actually get it first.

Brainlet here. What’s the authentication server?

>Apprently there's a pciture of the server floating around that cuck boy himself uploaded
This one?

I think its the login screen to get to the server list. Dont quote me on that though.

You all FUCKED yourselves. You fucked every last one of yourselves with your stupid petty greed and "but I just wanna play!!!!!" Read this post carefully because I'm about to fucking detail it:

What you THOUGHT was the case:
>Evil admins: "Heh heh, we have this secret private server just for ourselves! We'll never let all those outside plebs in! Scour the reddit and antagonize anyone who knows the truth!"
>Hero whistleblower: "I've uncovered their secret plot! CoH should be for EVERYONE!"
>Evil admins: "NOOOOOoooo how dare you..."

What it REALLY WAS:
>Admins: "Hey, we have this entire codebase and database for CoH.. it'd be awesome if everyone could play it. But that would be SUPER ILLEGAL for us. Like major felony. What if instead, we secretly used as a base to build our own server emulator in linux, so that EVERYONE could enjoy it?"
>Fat shit pig who can't keep a secret looking for 15 minutes of fame: "HEY GUYS THERE'S THIS SECRET SERVER GOING ON!! THEY'RE KEEPING IT FROM YOU OINK OINK. MAYBE THIS WAY I'LL ACTUALLY GET SOME FRIENDS OINK OINK"

>Fat pig: "OINK OINK" *buys CPAP machine* *uploads video of himself in diaper*

go back to sleep, Leo, you've lost

Prove it.

Yes, didn't read the text with it before.
>it was given to a dying man who barevely managed ot get it to function and then cock scuker took over and profited off of it
>he's now hiding behind his dead friends and people he didn't know
I hope they burn the fucker to a crisp.

Daily reminder that this reddit thread doesn't cares about game at all and just have personal grudge to Leo.
Also it's only active during american hours and most posts there comes by few posters.

i really really hope you didnt bother typing that up yourself

Wait so the dev that gave out the source code and shit didn't even intend for it to be left in this shitbags hands?

Look at all the evidence yourself and that fat piece of shit's videos, it's all there. He fucked everyone because he's a fat fucking creeper shitheap who doesn't know how to function as an adult, with his deviantass fucking art gallery.

You got your chances to play City of Heroes again ruined by some obese loser desperate for attention on his shitty 1998 webcam youtube channel.

Bigger things have been done by less people in 6 years. There were so many ways to go about it and he some how chose one of the worst paths. I get that its super illegal and yeah, keep it anonymous, but guess what isnt cool, gas lighting the community and making money off this shit. We now have a SLIM chance over no chance of getting the game back now that we have dragged it into the light. We all thought it was dead. Plus there were no indications of them making it public before. 6 fuggen years gringo. That's allota time.

When your painful death comes cretin, know you spent your days being worthless to everyone and an annoyance at best.

pretty sure Leo is saying he named the first server after the dead guy, not that the dead guy had the server before him.

>We now have a SLIM chance over no chance of getting the game back now
It's the opposite actually. You now have NO chance over where there used to be a slim chance.

going by that screen cap of him apparently, the more i read the more I hope the cripplechan hues come through.

>When your painful death comes cretin, know you spent your days being worthless to everyone and an annoyance at best.
ooh ouch that edge, thanks for proving you don't know anything and are just acting like a sperging teenager.

Considering Leo and his cronies were (still are depending on how paranoid you are)in charge of the Reddit is more or less abandoned. The last two days it was full of posts and anger but most people are in the wait and see mode now. You can only have so many "I AGREE RELEASE CODE!!" posts

Acting like you are some kind of intellectual superior isn't any better

I'm not reading your shitposts loser, you are a human failure, all you do is shitpost on Yea Forums, you are literal scum.

>K I L L Y O U R S E L F

Actually I already laid out my "arguments". It's quite clear you couldn't respond to them at all. Posting "no arguments" is just describing your own posts, sorry you can't "throw it back" like that faggot. This isn't your precious reddit where you can pretend it never happened.

It’s a start, but he should release the full server code, and fast. Trust is easily lost, and he lost the trust of the entire community. The longer this drags on the more the community will be ripped apart by his bad decisions.

>he has more facts than me, i don't like how he's intellectually superior!
That's not a very good argument either.

Leo was a prominent figure in CoH, he created the subreddit and was on mod teams in various forums. The best guess is that the dev gave it to him to eventiually release it some time later after the codce got scrubed from any evidence that could lead back to the dev. Instead Leo started to build his own little empire with it.

If he's this in-tune with how much can change in 6 years, you'd think he'd consider all the people who died in those years that DIDN'T get a chance to come back. And fuck him for making it seem like they were trying to release it; six years, and not a single fucking SCORE member has seen any word of development on that side of things. Just a bunch of new content and quality of life changes.

This is the first real progress the community has had towards getting their game back since SEGS, and it's all built on the backs of a lot of solid backlash and a bit of intimidation. Leo is feeling the heat and feeling guilty, he's going to deliver.

I must have missed something, it's Argentina that he lives isn't it?

kek, leo never had any intention to release it. You know it as well as I do shitbag. I do wonder if you're one of his cocksucking goonies who can't stop gruzzling his cum. Fact is that nobody is really happy with how things stand now thanks to all the exposure. Releaseing the code would be the best course of action for everyone. Sucks that leo would then also discover that nobody really wants to "play" with him and he'd be alone with maybe two other guys on his super sekrit server.

he's in voice chat

good goyim

It was an MMO that came out just a few months before WoW, and despite being capeshit was one of the most fun and well loved MMOs to ever exist. It had a god tier character creator, tons of customization options in both the character creator and class/build variety, and the world was tons of fun to explore with tons of variety in zones. The combat was tab targeting but the animation and effect quality was top tier for a 2004 game, and it still holds up today. The community was kind and honest without having that creepy hugbox feeling that some games have today, and quests even had a customizable difficulty slider if you felt like you were breezing through content too easily.

The game shut down in 2012 because NCSoft are greedy scum who unironically closed the game because it was successful in the West while not being popular in their home territory, Korea. Many people offered to buy the game from NCSoft, including some celebrities and even the game studio that had developed the game up to that point. NCSoft ignored them because of some bullshit cultural pride, where their name would look back if they sold the game to a company that ended up making it more popular than when it was under their control.

For the last 7 years, the CoH community has been looking for another MMO with a similar feeling, and we've just recently discovered 3 or 4 days ago that either an ex-developer or somebody from NCSoft stole a copy of the game's full source code and anonymously passed it off to a "trusted member of the community". I guess that developer assumed the player would spread the source code online once stuff had calmed down, but instead that player kept the code for himself, while running a private server for a handful of his closest friends, while also doing a bunch of unbelievably sketchy shit like gaslighting potential leakers, and using his connections to silence anybody who spoke out on any form of media.

The only reason we even know about it was because of him. He kept it his hidden little cash cow for 6 fucking years. He was never going to release it. Now there's brazillian anons going to rob his dumb ass and steal his shit, maybe even kill him.

This is the only chance we had.

Perhaps, not 100% proof, but past actions and behaviors have sparked curiosity. Plus there is some screen shots of his financial gain and illegal NDA club rules. Its pretty easy to connect some of the dots if you dont live in side that bubble of yours.

Lets say a man was murdered and is laying in front of you. You, the corpse and one other man are in this room too. That one other man is drenched in blood holding a knife. You're the type of person who would say "I dont think he did it." because you didnt bother to connect the dots.

Don't trust anything till its out.
he could very easily just make a 2nd account and say "im giving this guy the code" so people stop looking at him, then promptly vanish with the code.

COH wasn't "ridiculously" profitable by anyone's measure. It was doing decent for itself in the post-wow market and more than earning it's keep and investment in major new updates, but it wasn't this incredible runaway money machine or anything.

thank
source code is messy stuff, i know firsthand because i was given parts of source of another game under nda, so not sharing the code is understandable
but gaining profit off of it and silencing any discussion for 6 years is peak scum

Remake some of the characters I made on Paragon Chat. I never played the game before but I’m super excited to try it out!

It managed to have both a growing playerbase and profits well above break even when WoW was at its peak, user. That is "ridiculously profitable".

iirc it made more on average the nwildstar during it's peak time. It should've been more then profitable enough for them to keep it going.

As an aside I don't know why people think rackmount servers are so "magical".
There's really nothing that differentiates a rackmount in a data center from an ordinary beige midtower if it has powerful enough multicore hardware installed.

Then you need to refine your understanding of "ridiculous", because all you said was the same thing I did in different words.
Ridiculous implies an absolutely outside of any even barely reasonable expectation, and COH was not the only MMO able to turn a profit a survive at peak WOW time.
If it was truly earning "ridiculous" profits, koreacucks never would've shut down the cash machine. Even for those faggots absurd gobs of money beats pride.
