In order to refocus the thread on "Second Measure"'s letter, the discussion that was taking place around the soloability of the game and end-game has been segregated into this thread.
Please be so kind as to use this thread for questions you may have for "Second Measure"
Thank you! -
Please use this thread to discuss concerns and issues related to the soloability of the end game and of the game as a whole.
This thread has been created further to the discussion that arose from "January 2011 Producer's Letter to the Community". -
Just a reminder to all you advertising enthusiasts out there that the City of Heroes Billboard Contest will be wrapping up on January 24 (January 25 in the EU), 2011! Paragon City and the Rogue Isles are looking to fill some virtual ad-space with player-created billboards, so be sure to get your submissions in by 11:59 p.m. CST Monday, January 24, 2011 (6:59 a.m. GMT / 7:59 CET, Tuesday, January 25, 2011 in Europe). Lucky winners will see their billboard idea in-game, and also receive some fabulous prizes!
So put on your advertising caps, break out your (figurative) drafting table, and start creating. The next time a super is flying low around the city, it might just be your billboard that catches their eye!
Full contest details here. -

Guardians of the Dawn Spotlight #20
His handiwork can be felt from the start of the series.
His name was mentioned numerous times.
He was the nemesis of "Doc" Tor during his days as a time manipulator. He was the reason for the year-long disappearance of Icon Powers and the destruction of the home universe of the "Guardian Exiles". He was the unseen half of StarCygnus, prodding the sabotage of the Guardians of the Dawn and instrumental in the perceived "death" of Daybright.
And now his story can be told from two different sources.
Witness the story of ALOR, the destroyer of worlds, and find out what his plans are in the City of Heroes universe as Phase 3 of the "Time and Changes" storyline contines.
Special appearances by in-game characters War Witch and Citadel.
For more information about the comic series, please visit the official Guardians of the Dawn website...
