o.o apparently, for the 20th anniversary of the game, NCsoft decided to stop dragging their feet and just take the money. the HC group is now legally allowed to run and develop content for the City of Heroes IP.

the above article talks a bit more about, though you might need a HC account to see it, no idea.

I know a few ppl didn't want to chance things while discussions where in progress... aaaaaannnddd dragging... and draggging more... but they're finally done!

For anyone planning to join back up, we're currently on Indominable server, just poke me over steam for an SG invite if you want one. the weekly TF is on fridays this time.
