Updated! City of Heroes goes to New York Comic Con!

Our last convention presence of the year is fast approaching and we’re thrilled to be ending it where we began – on the East Coast!

We’ll be attending New York Comic-Con and while we won’t be on the showroom floor, you’re not going to want to miss the Meet & Greet we’ve got planned for Friday, Oct. 8th and the panel session we’re presenting the day after! Read on to learn more about when and where you will be able to find us in New York!


The NCsoft Meet & Greet

When: Friday, October 8th, 2010 - 7pm – 11pm
Where:
Good Units
Hudson Hotel
356 W. 58th Street
New York, NY 10019

Yes you've heard us right! This is not just a City of Heroes® Meet & Greet, no sir! We at NCsoft have pooled our resources together in order to throw the mother of all Meet & Greets in a really cool location! You’ll not only be able to meet and interact with your fellow CoH’ers and the Dev Team, but you’ll be able to meet players and representatives from other NCsoft games as well! There will be plenty of activities, refreshments and overall fun to be had.
Exclusive only to CoH attendees, however, will once again be a very cool in-game costume code! This one will blow your mind away into the furthest confines of the Universe, literally! Get a hold of the New York Comic-Con costume code card, and you’ll be able to transform into a Rikti Mentalist and subjugate your friends and foes with your newly found Rikti appearance! Go on a rampage or save lives under the guise one of the biggest enemies Paragon City and the Rogue Isles have ever known!



At the event you will also have the opportunity to get your hands on a lenticular CoH/CoV button, participate in a raffle for great prizes, and much more! So don’t miss out – come out to see us for what’s surely going to be a great time in the Big Apple!

For the first time ever, Lead Designer, Melissa Bianco, Senior Producer Jesse Caceres and Art Lead David Nakayama are attending New York Comic-Con to share with you the story of how they created Going Rogue, what they learned from it, and provide a sneak peek at secrets they will be unlocking in City of Heroes.


We hope to see you there to celebrate our very first New York Comic Con with us!

Heya folks,

Just a quick reminder that the New York Meet and Greet is tonight starting at 7pm in the basement and sub-basement of the Hudson Hotel (356 W. 58th Street, New York, NY 10019)! Clever villains have conspired to trick you and removed any signs from outside the building, so we’ve included this handy reference shot taken by our own Avatea. This is what the entrance looks like. It’s a non-descript white building with a door man outside of it. We look forward to seeing you all there!



Thanks,
