Couple that with GR's clue about "offline", and I think there's a good chance that it'll be pretty well full featured AND runs offline from the main game.

...or the way little teasers are slid in here and there to influence theories. Plant control.
Or they're just using us as an idea farm and haven't got a clue what they're going to put into I13 yet.

That sounds remarkably temporal - like we are the genesis of our own surprises.

Big news. Here's Tom with the weather.
Is it time for the dance of joy yet?
According to IGN, apparently I13 will be more power proliferation and custom missions, and also that it will be the last issue this year, which is really disappointing if true as we have only had I12 this year.
I hope something comes out soon though, as you can always tell when it hits the anticipation phase, because SG members drop off or come on and log earlier as they get bored and wait for new content, and that has started again.

you post about what IGN said and you totally miss the main point of the article lol.
'It's one of three free content packages that players get to download every year and Issue #13 is the last one for 2008. In it heroes or villains will discover the ability to create user-generated missions to further extend the life of one of today's most popular MMOs.
What does this mean exactly? Essentially, players will get to craft their own storylines, complete with custom dialogue and characters that can include other non-AI-controlled players in the universe. While your adversaries will always need to be a set number of baddies from the standard stable of foes, what they're doing, what you do to stop them, who you work with and the impact that has on the world around you is entirely up to your design.'
so basically we'll get to create our own storylines and missions. Which in my book can only be a good thing :P but i suppose would only appeal to the creative types. Depending on how its done i dont think it would appeal all that much to casual mainstream player.
here is the link to the article http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/893/893278p1.html
The above is only my opinion, please don't hate me for it
SG: Suicidal Maniacs @Aurealis
GhostRaptor: Server populations have been trending upwards since Issue 13 release. There are no current plans for any server mergers and we're looking forward to Issue 14 and the rest of the year.
"most notably in Issue #12 when the ability for players to make both Heroes and Villains was unlocked. That meant that players who bought City of Heroes could create Villains of their own and those who bought City of Villains could do the same. The Issue #13 expansion takes that a bit further."
Ok maybe jumping to conclusions but.. Like this says NCsoft is now allowing everyone to do heroes and villains no matter what version of the game you own. The end of that quote says taking that a bit further. Could this be going rogue? Would make sense giving everyone access to heroes and villain and powerset prolif is a big step in that direction.
Maybe this is what was said about "enables us to do more things to the IP". Might just be reading too much into it.

You've had Issue 12, plus the large Quality of Life update for Issue 11. All completed while the team has gone through some pretty major changes: moving offices; increasing team size and integrating the new team members; change of ownership and thus vastly changed priorities and goals for the IP.
Also, when looking at the goal of 3 issues every 12 months, that's actually more accurately a goal of one issue every 4 months and not a promise that a calendar year will receive 3 issues. Issue 12 was released in late May, which was a bit later than the goals however entirely understandable given the changes the team went through while developing Issue 12 (and that they also released the big QoL Issue 11 patch).
As BAB has recently posted (and been quoted here on these forums in another thread), the NCNC team is now aiming to develop features, systems and content for new issues that they previously never considered possible due to the small team size and other constraints. A consequence of that may mean that the 3 issues every year goal slows down a little, however you'll be getting better issues overall.
well, issue 12 rumours brought me back to CoX after a period of absence (that and finally hitting my limit of calls of "pwn3d n00b" in Battlefield by a hack using skiddie who snipes a headshot from right across the map.. or worse, getting stabbed in the back, while backed into a corner in the titan repair dock in 2142 by some *&##" using a wall hack).
IMHO: I welcome our I13 overlords and am happy to bask in hteir glory. if its the last FREE issue of this calendar year, fair enough. I'm not going to complain because someone once said they aim to produce three free expansion but only deliver 2 , especially if either of those two are BIG. They're FREE. not like WoW where you have to pay to get an extra dungeon , oh and if you opt not to, you fall so far behind the other players who are playing the new expanded level content and picking up uber items that if PvP is your thing you dont have a chance. Not like Star Wars Galaxies where the whole game gets nerfed to restructure billing plans and make content that was originally planne dto be free a paid for expansion that again, gives the people paying a massive advantage.
So, congrats to NCNC for even putting out one free expansion in a year of so many changes . bad move revealing your desire to release three. And best of luck in the future. from what I can tell, you've got some big plans for the direction of the game and these require some large amounts of groundwork which you are laying now. I'm looking forward to seing whats to come.
IMHO: we'd all be better off ignoring the ign and massive reports and those like it and playing away happily until NCNC release official details.

hush, we could use this post as evidence later if he doesnt rectify it.
ehhh, mr person in charge of NCNC, we were promised 3 updates per month and we havent received them.
of course, such an email would never have to be sent should we find ourselves basking in the contented glow of that feeling you get from knowing that you know. Perhaps oh, i dont know...details of I13?... would promote that feeling ?
From what I'm guessing by the hints in BaBs quote is kind of as such
"We announced Mission Creator...that's a feature we're comfortable (I.E. We're 99% sure that it's going to be ready and in a fit working state for Issue 13) in mentioning...there's a crapload of stuff we're working on now for Issue 13 that we can't mention (I.E. We're not sure if they will be ready for Issue 13 release) plus we like to keep the Proliforated Powersets a surprise...oh and we like to keep you guessing on other things too Muwhahahaha!"
Does that sum up the gist from BaBs post?
