Core i5-3570k if you want to overclock, non K version if you don't. Asus P8Z77-V LX would be my mobo pick.

Wait, what does Perfect World have to do with it? Does Cryptic still have some kind of say in the CoX franchise?

Was about to say, CoX was run by Paragon Studios, which was the majority of the Cryptic crew that created it, and Cryptic sold it/left it and went with Atari until it was sold to Perfect Worlds.

That being said, I wouldn't mind Perfect World buying it and updating the engine to Champions Online/Star Trek Online's.

"the game has been bringing in 3 billion won ($2.76 million) every quarter. “It is hard to comprehend what NCsoft means when they said they closed it for strategic reasons,” one analyst said."

Mr. Outsider, what this means is that $2.76 million wasn't enough for them. There was a dev team and running costs to be subtracted as well. Yes vs your wage Mr. Outsider that may have been a fine salary, but for a big company, in which you don't have their entire vision, it must have not been worth it to them. "Unethical game closure?" Unethical, pulleeeze. Disappointment? perhaps. Unethical? No. We have to know games can eventually be sun-setted. Hidden fee's, inaccurate meters to your cell phone? Unethical.

That said, it would be nice if something can bring the game back for those who still want to play.

CryEngine 3 server?

I'm not aware of any multiplayer mods that use CryEngine 3, Crysis 2 multiplayer was dead on release.

Yes I've gotten into it, and basically "maxed out" everything one can possibly do (so far) as far as learning every skill, and crafted every possible item, and built every structure and have several villages under my control. It takes a while, a couple months at least to get there but the depth and complexity is much more than first impressions may give.

*edit* and I meant no kidding as in they need to bring on AC II.

III?

No, there needs to be a 2.

There was a 2... it failed... they shut it down.

But the reason it failed, as far as most AC 1 fans are concerned - including myself, was because 2 wasn't really a sequel... it was a completely different game with the name AC 2.

So, yes... they need to make a TRUE AC 2, but I'm not sure if that would be a success in this day and age. If they put a little GW2 mix in it (AC 1 with Modern Graphics Engine, and reward everyone for kills / let everyone revive, like GW2 )... they might have something that would be marketable... especially if Turbine comes out the gate with F2P, like GW2.
