It's also apparently going to have twitch combat, which, again, worked out so well in SWG's, uh, third complete combat engine overhaul.

STATUS: True. Indeed, pretty much the entire City of Heroes team that hadn't already left Cryptic for other pastures entirely (Zeb Cook, for instance) jumped to NCsoft, so the CO team over at Cryptic now is basically Jack and whoever he's hired since. All the other prime movers of the CoH experience, as it were, are either at NC or not doing superhero MMO work at all now.
