Hey everyone! The following is a list of the story arcs I have up.

Just as an explanation, the goal with my story arcs is to create a sort of episodic world. I've got 4 up right now, with another 5 waiting to be rotated up onto live in the next few weeks. Each arc has a self-contained story, while also moving along the "ongoing" story as well.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Here is my trailer for the following arcs!

Episode 1 - The Legacy of Joe, the Longbow Eagle
Arc ID - 1009
The heroic adventure of a lifetime, the beginning of our story! Go back through time with the help of a homeless bum and his garbage can to ensure time flows properly so that a young man named Joe will become a Longbow Eagle! Find out how exactly this seemingly random event is directly tied in with your hero!

Episode 2 - The Mind of a Villain
Arc ID 8774
The beginning of your villain's journey to power and much more! Your villain has decided to begin their grand plan and to do that, they'll need some funds. Find out how a simple bank robbery can lead your villain to strike fear into the very hearts of heroes in Paragon City!

Episode 3 - Business of a Hero
Arc ID 8787
Hero Corps has been looking for new talent as of late. What will happen if your hero signs a contract to join their organization? Decide for yourself if your hero is a "company man" who will further the goals of Hero Corps, or a hero who will save the people for the people!

Episode 4 - Faith in the Family
Arc ID 8795
A young woman named Naomi Murphy contacts your hero, begging for your help on a situation on small island in South America. She claims you're her last hope! Beware though, this small, unknown island holds a terrifying secret for your hero, and the world at large!

PREVIEW
Episode 5 - M for Malta
A preview of the upcoming episode, to be released soon!

This series of arcs is my favorite thing to come out of the architect.

I love the way the different episodes could all be played from different characters, heroes and villains weaving together a meta-plot.

I agree.

"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

My guess is since Fearghas only has 4 slots and one is perma'd as Ep#1 due to DevChoice, Ep#2 was deleted to make way for Ep#5.

Maybe in the future, other slot obtaining methods will be available and back issues can be reposted. Shame good content has to be removed from the game due to this limitation.

While I'm of course biased toward my own work, I nevertheless whole-hartedly agree here that Fearghas' stuff is superb work. I really wish there was some other way of earning slots for stories like these.

Yeah, sorry Briar! I had to take down Mind of a Villain to put up my new episode.

However! And I'd like to extend a big thanks for this, some people have come forward saying that they'd help me host the rest of the arcs on their accounts. We're talking now and once we get it going I'll update the thread list, either by begging a mod to edit the original message or posting a new list.

And also pohsyb and everyone else, thank you very much for the compliments! I hope I can continue to meet your expectations with my future arcs. I have 9 total made, with more on the way and the full story already written up!

I wouldn't mind hosting a story arc of yours if you need some more room. Although you could ask to get pohsyb to Dev Choice your arcs since he likes them so much.

The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

I thought we were only allowed 3 arcs per account, do you have multiple accounts Fearghas?

He's rotating his arcs (says so in the OP). He *does* have a Dev Choice, meaning he can have 4 total arcs up at any given time, but he rotates the other ones.

To me, this represents a simply bizarre policy because it hurts the best writers among us. I really enjoy playing the dev choice arcs because they're the best the mission architect has to offer, those are the people who should be encouraged to make more and more arcs.

Short of them playing every single arc this is the best they can do to be somewhat fair to everyone.

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

A bunch of people in beta whined that their arc wasn't good enough so now it's one per person.

I thought that was only for the migration off of Test server. No?

Given there's probably 100,000 arcs now, it's a good rule to force the devs to not just look at arcs by the same guys they already have recognized.
