City of Heroes: the closure of the game are still talking

With the closing of the game City of Heroes took a lot of time, but talk about what happened, is still underway. At the closing of some of the details brought to light, giving an interview to one of the online editions, Matt Miller, former chief designer of the game.

As it turned out, before the servers were shut down in City of Heroes, a game yet we could not find a new owner, was formed the same buyer. And promising. They were members of Paragon Studios, which, in fact, worked on the project. They decided to buy it and continue to further develop the toy. However, they have failed to reach an agreement with NCSoft. By the way, decided to buy as CoH, and the other two projects, the right to which is NCSoft. However, the names are not called, they were created in the bowels of the studio, but they were not destined to live nor to the announcement, nor to the release.

Creators in honor of closing the servers before the fact of closing to release the latest update. It was to mark this sad fact by an alien invasion under the name Batallion (by the way, event created six years, and for a long time in the game there were hints of it), thanked all those players who have supported the project. But NCSoft not allowed to do this, thinking that the patch is very much a lot of bugs, and therefore do not need to install it in this form to the servers. And all this despite the fact that the work is all done, and the game closed.
