(Good attitude!)Īnd as I noted, Leandro was on the chat all last night, discussing a broad range of topics, from the difficulty of streaming the game without being banned to dealing with third-party cleanup.

“I think it’s better that we focus on the progress being made, not the past leaks or my bullshit,” he told me. I had also planned to print a statement made to me by Destroyer Stroyer, the original leaker whose video we covered Monday.īut Destroyer Stroyer actually retracted his statement. This article was originally supposed to be a dump of a random assortment of interview questions with Leandro, several of which were submitted by community members from SEGS and Reddit. To be clear, we are not encouraging illegal activity and advise everyone involved to consider their actions carefully. ĭefinitely the weirdest chat I’ve ever seen and heard.

There was also a surprise appearance from a person asking everyone to put on the brakes to work with NCsoft instead – a person who allegedly has been trying to delay the private server for many years. You can check out a longer recap on Reddit, but the short version is that Leandro spoke in person to gathered members of the community on Discord and effectively confirmed he will release the SCORE code presuming he can properly scrub it of its naughty bits. In other words, folks who know how to make this happen seem to be making this happen, potentially with the character database that has sparked so much attention.Īnd while there was forward motion, there were also some frustrating parts revolving around harassment: specifically, the fact that the harassment against Leandro was far, far worse than just a couple of death threats as previously disclosed. Someone in voice chat said “this game is a unicorn,” and I’m relieved to find myself in agreement and able to share some hope. A lot of the faith I said I had lost in the community has been restored.


I can’t even talk about everything I heard and saw, but let’s just say that there was wild stuff, from chan trolls spamming snuff pics to genuine, heartfelt cooperation between coders trying to in their mind save the community and navigate a tricky emulator/private server quagmire. By the time I lay down for a nap at 7 a.m., I felt pretty giddy. When I got there, I was being attacked and harassed. Last night, following our podcast on the City of Heroes SCORE private server mess, I hung out on the SEGS Discord thanks to an invite on Reddit.
