General Discussion

Recently, MMORPG.com's Carolyn Koh had the opportunity to sit down with some of the guys from Ncsoft's City of Heroes / City of Villains. In the interview, they talk about the upcoming Issue 13 Day Job and Mission Architect features.

In November of 2007, Cryptic Studios made the decision to sell City of Heroes/Villains to NCSoft – their publisher. The entire development team (about twenty of them) made the move from being Cryptic employees to NCSoft employees. I asked Senior Designer Joe Morrissey about the transition.

“It’s fantastic!” Joe enthused. “It feels like a new game. We’re doing what we want to do with the game and we’ve got all this support behind us. NCSoft is giving us the resources we need to really take this game where we want it to go.”

Advertising Two Games At Once , Nice ..

Posting FAIL?

This is not the first time this has been done, and with LOTRO to be specific.

I understand Turbine is using you guys as their main advertiser and you're getting a kick back, but really...

LOTRO does NOT deserve this much attention...

Sweet Jebus man,

How on Earth do you think that mis-labelling a news story would be something that a company would like? If I hadn't noticed / been made aware of this error (first thing Monday morning, not as on the ball as I shoudlhave been, obviously), I would have expected to see angry emails in my inbox not just from NCsoft, but from Turbine as well.

Posting fail? Yes.

Posting before morning coffee? Yes.

Embarassing moment for Jon? Big Time Yes!

Giant reidculous kick-back conspiracy? Not really.

Seriously, if you want to accuse me of taking kick-backs or bribes or whatever it is you're trying to imply here that's your perogative. It's not true, but it's your opinion and that's cool, but you may want to at least check and see if it makes any sense before throwing around bizarre accusations.

Anyway folks, it's all fixed up now.

I could be wrong on this, but I think he was being sarcastic about the whole bribe thing. Hard to tell on the internet. But hes a Guild Wars player and as a former Guild Wars player myself I can tell you this kind of sarcasam is pretty popular among the users of that game, so I'm 90% convinced we are dealing with sarcasm here.

Besides, you wanna see some guys in the gaming industry who take bribes to hype games then go read PC Gamer magazine. Those guys are so corrupt its not even funny anymore.

Not bad, but still just minor "fixer up" touches.

Remove the cookie arch types, move all powers into a single power pool, and let us REALLY make the hero or villian we want. Instead of having to settle for some 1 dimensional imitation.
