Hey I thought I'd wade in here again and help clear things up. There seems to be some historical revisionism going on and I'm hoping that it's just a case of people being confused as opposed to individuals wanting to create some pointless drama.

So hopefully this has cleared things up a bit. I want to again thank you all who have worked with us to improve things and we hope to have some positive news for you in the near future.
Thanks for taking the time to give us an update, Noun. I think I speak for the majority of the CoH community in saying that we understand the extraordinary efforts in keeping the game alive, and appreciate the seriousness with which Relic regards CoH.
Yes, the current situation is not ideal for either players or Relic, but I for one feel I've gotten more than my fair shake from Relic for my $50 + $30 + $30, for a 6 year old game.
Looking forward to the finalized Steam version when it arrives. I miss meaningful competitive play for CoH, in the meantime we'll all be playing for fun's sake.
Regards
