By the way, I'm pretty sure PAX East was the place they said they were going to discuss the Praetorian Hamidon at - so maybe there's going to be some kind of Incarnate Hamidon raid?

So...the good news is that City of Heroes has at least one Omeganaut. The bad news is that I have to miss the panel due to the Saturday morning round. 
Will there be video coverage at some point, or some kind of posting of the presentation? I hate missing the chance to see it in person and ask the devs about all the great stuff coming down the line, but, well, when someone asks you to be an Omeganaut, you say yes.

Do not go gently into that good night - save Paragon City!
Just a heads up, the 3 day passes for PAX are sold out and they're running out of Saturday passes now. So if you do not have your Saturday pass and plan to go I HIGHLY suggest purchasing it right now.

This is a great suggestion and I'll look into seeing if this is something we can accommodate.

Easy, Zwill. Have someone there with a cell phone or videocamera recording the whole thing, then upload it to YouTube ASAP. Coz safe bet is that at least half a dozen COH players in the crowd will be doing EXACTLY that, within 30 minutes of the panel being over. Better that it be on the official YT channel to establish authenticity.|

Also, the charming player just above your post (ransim) very kindly kept up a running Twitter feed during the panel last year. This was hugely appreciated by those of us who could not attend.

is there a way to reserve a spot JUST for the meet and greet?
As Queen Deleen has said "The Mayor" should be there.

I would shoot off an email to Avatea or Zwill to try to reserve a spot at the meet and greet...that was what I did last year (nearly made it but circumstances at the last minute prevented me from going..and this year isn't looking so great either...). If I guessed wrong about who to send the email to, they'll be glad to let you know who to send it to|

Global is @Mellissandria
I don't have that much art, but I do write stories and I do collect art on
my DA account
I thought I read somewhere that since this was a joint M&G with the Aion and Guild Wars fans, there was no RSVP/reservation feature this time around, and rather it was first come-first served to capacity. But now I can't find that info.

What exactly is the capacity going to be like? The event space for PAX Prime last year was tiny and only moderately sized for East. Assuming since its for three games it'll be bigger, I hope.

It's better to save the Mystery, than surrender to the secret...

500 hundred people is the capacity of the Harbor Room which is where the meet & greet will be held |

Shoot, now I have to choose between the awesome Ghoul costume or of equally awesome Meat Doctor costume
