In a meeting today of our officership, it was decided that Toy would be better able to perform her duties as an Officer, and so she has been promoted to that status.

If you see her on, congratulate her!

Angel Sakura brought in another friend, and she and both her friends brought in several alts.

Also, Freelyx and Monochromme have been busy modifying their stables of characters, changes also reflected in our new Roster line-up.

With so many new folks around, there should be no shortage of meet-and-greet opportunities from the Old Guard among us!

While much of the staff from Cryptic that ran CoH moved to NCSoft, several core personnel did not. And while Cryptic is ensuring an 'orderly transition', they are washing their hands of CoX and being very quiet about it. While also quietly announcing that they are developing a Superhero MMORPG for none other than Marvel Comics.

It remains to be seen how dedicated NCSoft will be to the CoX franchise, rhetoric aside. And it also remains to be seen whether or not Marvel, with their foot firmly in the door at Cryptic, will once again seek to kill CoX.

Only time will tell.

It's a great game, and I encourage you to stop by the official website,   http://www.cityofheroes.com/ or click on their logo above and check it out if you aren't already familiar with it. If you were a comic fan as a kid (or still are!) I can safely say you won't be disappointed.
