"In the upcoming expansion City of Heroes Going Rogue, we'll be doubling the file size capacity for Architect arcs."
That is going to please a lot of people.
EDIT: Just an edit

That's actually a no-no Golden Girl. Those sites need players to actually visit them for their revenue.
Still here, even after all this time!

Colour me jealous! Now if only I could get someone, anyone, to play my arcs! 24 days live and not a single play, comment or rating. I iz a very sad panda about that. I've tried placing the details in the Live announcement thread, added my ArcID's to my forum signature, submitted them for reviews, asked my SG members, and even done short, "Play my thread nao!" requests in local while in Atlas Park AE, still nada. |

Splendid. I stopped working on my first arc when I realized I was going to need 6 or 7 custom enemies.

You've done some of it (submit some for the various reviewers, too.) Now go play OTHERs arcs that are similar (hero/villain, similar enemies, etc.) and if they seem more than just slapped together, ask them to try yours out in the return comments. Don't mention how many stars you gave or anything, you don't want it to come off as "I x starred yours, you x star mine!" Just "I had my own twist on this, would you mind taking a look, arc ID..." at the end of your comments.

Okay, that's an idea I haven't tried. Thanks Memphis Bill. It's not meant to be this hard though, is it? I put in a fair amount of love into them, and enjoyed the creative process, but still, I'm not one of those types who creates for a void, I'd like an audience. Oh well, at least Golden Girl will get to mine when she hits the 330,000's.

this exactly. Gives hope to all of us gamer wannabe Devs out there.
@Catwhoorg "Rule of Three - Finale" Arc# 1984
@Mr Falkland Islands"A Nation Goes Rogue" Arc# 2369 "Toasters and Pop Tarts" Arc#116617
I think it's awesome that a player was hired - it adds to the nice community feel here.

Personally, I think its great that fearghas is in an advocate position for the Architect. It suggests that Paragon Studios is interested in continuing to develop the AE system moving into the future, which was one of the open questions often asked about the AE prior to its release: was it going to be released and then abandoned. Clearly not. And fearghas aka Dr. Aeon clearly believes in the AE system. And it means we all don't have to compete with his damn arcs any more.
I wonder if this means Dr. Aeon now works for Hero-1 on AE development, or if Dr. Aeon has taken over the responsibility of AE development from Hero-1. This is important as its critical to know who to armtwist^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H abuse^H^H^H^H^H discuss AE changes with.

I think any new mission mechanics that appear in Praetoria will be aded to the AE eventually.

@fearghas was one of the heroes of the MA getting out really good arcs right away in Closed Beta. Gratz!

Soo...if a good MA writer got to get hired, how about a good PvPer gets hired to, you know, examine PvP?

Then you can choose from hundreds of maps for the arena event and set up goals and ambushes and NPC threats that both teams have to deal with as they battle each other?
