    Hey there.

    You're probably playing a trial.

    Trial accounts can't access the Mission Architect. They can't create missions or play them.

    Even if you downloaded the trial from the Architect Edition Free Trial page, you still can't do anything Architect-related.

Perhaps a disclaimer would be in order on the "Get a 14 Day Free Trial" page.
    The header of the page is "City of Heroes: Architect Edition Free Trial", which shows up in Google with that same exact title when "architect edition free trial" is searched for.

    Just seems kind of silly. Like an ice cream shop putting out a full page ad for some delicious new flavor. Pictures, testimonials, excited descriptions of the lusciousness and texture and creaminess. At the bottom of the ad there's a little box announcing a taste test that Saturday. Guy sees this, shows up for the taste test, and is told the new flavor isn't included in the taste test.

    City of Heroes: Architect Edition Free Trial

    A bit cheeky of them to advertise an Architect Edition Free Trial that doesn't allow use of the Architect.

    I'm on the Architect Trial but I can't seem to use Architect.

    I've searched everywhere to see if trial accounts are blocked from Architect or if there's a level requirement, but I've found nothing.

    Wow, the test server client was worth the 3 gig download. Being able to see all the animations for each powerset will help a lot in choosing one. I'm still working my way through all of 'em.

    Thank you for the heads-up!

    Thanks for the info!

    I have the room to spare, so I'm currently downloading the test server.

    I'm not really a roleplayer, per se, but I do like making characters that make sense. I would hate to design a red and orange villain whose energy auras are all purple.

    Hi everyone. I just started the trial for the game and I haven't even done much in the game world yet. I've just been tinkering with the character creation, which is amazing.

    However, there are so many power sets to choose from. I thought about just picking two that sounded good, but within five minutes of playing I start to get restless. What do the other power sets look and play like?

    So I start a few other characters to check out their powers, but they only start with one from each set, and there are eight more in each. I can't possibly try all of them out.

    So I'm doing some search to see if there's any way to preview powers. For instance, the 'Psionic Tornado' skill in Psychic Blast may look awesome but there's no easy way to preview it. Does anyone know of a website or program that can show you what powers look like? Thanks in advance!
