WOOT, East Coast win!
Again and again this dev team proves they pay the closest attention to their playerbase, thanks for your awesomeness.
Next step: Paragon Studios at AnthronCon with the panel: Creating the Perfect Heroic Cat-Girl!
***
Unfortunately, PAX East isn't an option for me this year 
The devs finally head east, and I can't attend.
Am I reading it wrong or does the Pax Website say they're out of Saturday passes? The Pre-reg has 3-day and Saturday crossed out. Which I get.
But so is the "At the door" price. Crossed out that is.
I can't pre-register for the day of the panel but I also can't go to the door to pick up a ticket?
This is the first time I might, maybe, be able to make a Con. As a both a Marylander and... well, poor. I don't get many chances to go to cons. This one is within driving distance (7 hours still counts)
I hope I didn't miss my chance
Is this this Saturday?
Yeah I hear you je-saist,damn economy ruined it for me....and of course Boston is too far anyways.
Still it's good to hear that some much needed love will given to the east coasters!
European visit next, please 
Oh, and you attendees need to spill the beans on what that new feature is!

That's what it looks like. If you don't have a pass already, you won't be able to make it. Which kind of defeats the purpose of announcing it here this late.

We'll always have Paragon.
Ah, still too far for me. Have fun everyone!
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I bought tickets over a month ago and they were selling out then.

Columbus, Ohio
Cleveland, Ohio
maybe even... Chicago, Ill?
This was an exercise in frustration for me.
I live in the Boston area...and didn't even know about PAX East til tonight. Friday and Sunday does me no good if Saturday is already sold out....Wish it was possible for the devs to rethink this and well...move their meet and greet to a day that's not sold out....

The meet and greet will most likely not require a PAX membership. At the very least, it doesn't on the west coast.

Thanks for coming east. I can't make it, but I really do appreciate you venturing out closer to my home.

It's a little late for those of us who weren't planning on going to PAX East since the tickets are sold out.

Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
WOOO!
So glad now I got my passes for PAX East definitely going to the panel and can't wait for a chance to thank the devs personally for Dual Pistols.
This has totally made my week!
Edit I'll note that I made plans to go ages ago we got our tickets back in like November. Once I heard they were close to selling out I was hoping and hoping NCSoft was going to come. I just hope this shows companies its worth coming to the east coast too.
I took a leap of faith back in October, and man am I glad I did!!!!
See you at PAX!!!!
East Coasters, rejoice! It's been a long time coming, but we're finally headed your way to meet our loyal players in person and represent at PAX East in Boston, Massachusetts!
There's no NCsoft booth at PAX East this year, but we are hosting the following panel at the show on Saturday afternoon from 11:30am - 12:30pm:
Re-Inventing A Super-Heroic MMO
How do you keep the world's first and most popular super-powered MMO fresh and relevant? First, you blur the lines between good and evil. Then, you throw in new content, features and systems that provide an upgrade guaranteed to keep things interesting into 2010 and beyond! Join the art, design and production masterminds behind City of Heroes® as they discuss their upcoming "Going Rogue" expansion and share their overall wisdom on how to keep up with the times by continuously re-inventing your MMO. Attendees will learn about a never before discussed Going Rogue feature!
Panelists will include Melissa "War Witch" Bianco, Matt "Positron" Miller, Jesse "Ghost Falcon" Caceres, and artist extraordinaire, David Nakayama.
But that's not the extent of it--we're throwing an official Meet and Greet! The location and other details are coming soon, but mark your calendar for Saturday evening, March 27th from 7:00pm - 10:00pm. You'll be able to hang out with the developers and the Community Relations team from Paragon Studios, have refreshments and even play pool or air hockey! There will be raffle prizes and the opportunity to purchase City of Heroes® items previously sold at Hero-Con. It's going to be a fun time you won't want to miss! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a follow-up announcement with more specifics.
We can't wait to make our first visit to the East Coast and hope you'll come out to see us!
Clarification: I just wanted to clarify that the Meet and Greet will not require you to have a PAX badge in order to attend.
