When NCSoft bought the whole thing from Cryptic, they decided to invest a ton of money into the game. So suddenly things that were thought impossible before were suddenly on the table again. All they had to do was hire a lot more staff and they could finally get some of these long requested features in the game.

I'm really excited about the state of CoH right now. With the improvements they've made to the game lately and the promise of upcoming stuff like Going Rogue, it's a great time to be playing the game.
