This is clearly a precursor to a server merge.
Just in time for the launch of CO 
By the way, does anyone else think that with the huge amount of stuff there is in game, they should perhaps convert those info terminals that record defeats into proper info points, with an index of all the different things in game, like MA, badges, crafting, PvP and so on?
I think it would help newer players a lot if they could see things like a list of zones and zone descriptions, the locations of Wentworths, when and how to make or join a SG and so on.

Of course, they're really doing this to distract everyone from the /Regen nerf.

Yes, that box art right there is ...awful, just awful. 
There is not one new art asset there, every figure is pulled from existing CoX art assets that are years old.
Not only that but the whole artstyle is swinging away from the Good Vs Evil branding that has predominantly defined CoX up until now.
I hope the European Box set is more creative, either give it to us via another art competition or (If NC soft are short on ideas and planning to do a version of that for the EU.market) chuck it my way and by hell's teeth I'll gladly do a better cover.
Sorry just my professional opinion, The branding for 'Good Vs Evil' is sound and recognised, The Mission architect logo is also great and could be used as a reveal under a box-jacket slip or inside (or even as a Steelbook.com cover) - this new box art uses neither of CoX's best Imagery/branding and just comes across as a lazy port of the similar art on the website.
Don't get me wrong, The content for Issue 14 sounds revolutionary, but I certainly wouldn't package it like that.
Also, why isn't Ms. Liberty used more? She and Statesman go together like Lord Recluse and Ghost Widow - plus, there's a 50% chance she'll be the first signature Character new Heroes will see

never understood that one either why use sister instead of miss lib.
tho i partially disagree with ML i think the new artwork is better than the GvE artwork (though its still not great)
If they want to pair them off, then Sister Psyche should be paired with Manticore
Also, I wonder if the total lack of mention of Villains anywhere means they've kinda abandoned the CoH/CoV thing, and the "offical" title of the game is just "City of Heroes"?

I'd guess the only reason Sister Psyche gets used more is that her costume is more revealing than Ms Liberty's.
well possibly thats not the new artwork didnt realise thats just the same art they used for the mac edition.

Sister Physic likely sells more boxes then Ms Liberty. Something to do with the amount of clothing they can get away with before the game changes rating.
Sister Psyche FTW! And she contrasts nicely with Ghost Widow. (Although Kalinda and Ms. Liberty would look nice too...EDIT: But that would create problem with Statesman's costume, - too much red/blue in thwe picture... )

I'll take bad box art over no shelve presence anyday, you never know, game store clerks may actually remember the game is still going now.
more importantly, any exclusive items from buying said new pack?

I've done alot of designing in my time, Well enough to notice that, that box is highly basic and rushed-.-"
I highly doubt that is the actual new cover art to be honest.

OMG thats well strange! so they have abandoned it! 
Don't know if this got mentioned in the MA Academy thread, but apparently we're due a new retail box, featuring the MA, sometime in the near future. Details currently unknown.
Wow, a new retail box. Clearly the game is DOOMed!
