EDIT: Damn, so they are just Circle rehashes? Poo.

Still, the Coven look cool!

YEah, noticed the same thing myself....on a related note, the Coven looks to have an interesting backstory,too (judging from their desc's, anyway) I'm hoping they and the Fir Bolg get to be permanent members of CoH's Rouge's Gallery.

So far, I'm doubting it. All of the enemies have been rehashes of old enemies. The Zombies are just Banished Pantheon, the Fir Bolg are just Devouring Earth with pumpkin heads , and though I haven't seen them yet, I'm assuming the werewolves and vampires are just like normal 5th Column enemies. Haven't seen any ghosts yet, either. But the Coven witches seem pretty original. It'd be cool to see them stick around.

I write a lot, and a lot of my writing was influenced by Mike Mignola (Cosmic Odyssey, Hellboy), who draws a lot of his influence directly from the mythos of virtually every European country. And, when looking for things to write about, I came across this awesome site, Pantheon.Org.

During the couple minutes I was on Justice before being disconnected again, I reached one door, and a bunch of Devouring Earth with pumpkins on their heads hopped out, and I noticed that their gang name was "Fir Bolg." I wasn't sure, but I knew I'd heard the named Firbolg before. Sounded Celtic, and when I checked their description, sure enough, it mentioned them being the third race of gods to inhabit Ireland, after the Tuatha Dé Danann. So! If anyone's interested:

Personally, I think it's pretty genius. It shows a lot of depth on the part of the developers. Thumbs up, guys!

So... is it two hundred, or one thousand monkeys, now?
