All the details are here.

And I'm posting this in this forum for one very good reason...

'Our players -- and this is probably true with most MMOs, but moreso of City of Heroes -- because of the costume creator and the level of detail people get into it, you kind of get a different mindset of player. You get a very creator-centric mindset. Now we've added on to that with Mission Architect. Now they can become creators of their own stories and everybody wants to be good creators with each other. So it builds this positive feedback where you see all this stuff going. You know, if I ever need to hire a new mission writer, guess where I'm going to look? I'm going to look at the highest rated guys on there. Because that's your resume. You've done it and people love your stuff.' - Positron, Massively interview

(no, I'm not able to apply. I'm in the UK. ;P)

Why not? Just telecommute and video conference via web-cam

As for Positron's comment: Great, this means they'll get a designer who specializes in making 1 mission XP farms.

Ha ha ha... I love these "HR preferred lists", guess who they're going to hire...


I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!
