Relax67676767676 I'm not sure from your post if you know THQ owns Relic and is also the publisher?

I'm not up to date as of the last day or two as I have been play testing at Relic HQ but all the judge did was delay the sale to Clearlake Capital not kill it. Judge Mary Walrath said the sale was unfair to creditors of THQ as no one was made aware they could make offers to buy THQ in full or piece by piece or asset by asset. The judge simply put the sale on hold until THQ obtained 10 competing bids (or lack of bids) by other sources including Warner Bothers. If no one beats or challenges Clearlake's offer to buy out THQ (they have promised not to break it up) then that's what will happen and the company will stay as it is.

THQ owns Relic and from what I can see Relic has just been moved into nice new offices and is putting out a AAA title CoH2 with lots and lots and lots of earning potential. Relic will float even if someone puts in a higher bid and breaks THQ up. Let's hope for the sake of the THQ guys like Bobby (THQLynx) and crew and their families that doesn't happen. Either way Relic is a valuable asset but lets just wait until the date for auction bids to be submitted and see. Especially before we get nasty with each other. We are all part of the same community and no one knows for sure what will happen and in the end we will all be CoH2 faithful. Even the stuff in the media isn't always correct and often can be media hyper-bole. That's where the info I have came from and is all from the last week. No sense in panicking until the boat starts leaking but I have faith in Relic as a profitable studio.

I have no actual knowledge it is but looking at the titles they have put out and their history I would say so. They are still going on business as usual. They weren't the ones behind Darksiders 2 and the uDraw losses so I can't imagine anyone would fault Relic in this. CoH2 is still supposed to be out as planned and no pre-orders have been stopped like Metro: Last Light's has which could just be that studio's issues. It's just the industry and the way some of the cycles go. RTS games are not always the sellers Shooter's like Black Ops and MMO games like WoW are but THQ has rights/published them all. I can't see why RTS aren't as popular but it's strategy and real thought not just point and shoot. No offense to anyone. I just don't find interest in MMO's or Shooters (Except games like Fallout or DayZ) past 20 hours and one copy but I have bought at least ten copies of CoH and it's expansions for myself, family and friends. That speaks volumes. Get the Pun. I'm not talking 10 humble bundles either but I did help support THQ and charity a little by buying 4 of the 10 as Humble Bundles and not for $1 either. The original few were full priced and Collector's editions with the tin and cards and all. Let's all hope for the best and support CoH2 to the fullest so this doesn't happen with THQ via Clearlake or whoever acquires Relic in the future.

A lot of us are rooting for you guys Relic/THQ. You guys are awesome developer's/publishers in my books. Either way thanks for the great products from the past and the future ones to come.

They did set keys aside for dedicated and loyal Relic hard core fans. I was sent one by Bobby after they found out I didn't get one and put my all into play testing at Relic HQ. That and I was decent on the CoH official forum when guys were going autistic. If they had been decent they may have gotten keys instead of playing the "Fuch Relic card I'll never buy if they don't let everyone in." Were those guys for real. Complexity knows what I'm talking about. It was crazy on the day they started the alpha. Even if I hadn't gotten in it wouldn't have been the apocalypse or anything. Then I got a second alpha key in the second wave that I gave to OP - CrazyGuy but it was on the day before the last day when I saw his PM. At least it will grandfather him into the Beta.

By the way that has been confirmed. I have a Expo key too but I'm not giving it up just in case my alpha access doesn't get me into the initial beta. Now I gotta take my notebook full of bugs with dates, times and all my observations and put them into the Alpha forum. More work for CoH but at least it's the noblest of causes.

What about Ram disks/caches? Anyone know much about or recommend them. I got 16 GB now in quad channel on my 8 dimm Sabertooth x79 and I'm looking at adding a 32GB quad channel and taking out and using the 16 in another build. Then I might add another 32GB for 64 total later so I am interested but only know what I have learned and read. Nothing practical or actual experience. I know I don't need that much now as 32 would be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overkill but I'm gonna be using it for some design/rendering and a lot of software other than just CoH2.

By the way does anyone know if there is any benefit putting a Samsung 830 256GB and an 840 250GB into Raid 0. I want the extra space as I could only afford a 256 GB to start and I could try to get another 830 at the local store but looks like newegg is Out of Stock. I'd plan on getting a controller possibly. Whats the best bet there Budwise.
