Convention time is fast approaching, so we're kicking off 2011 with a return to PAX East in Boston, Massachusetts! Last year was our first foray into the East Coast convention scene, and we had such a great time we couldn't wait to come back. This year once again, were planning a panel, prizes, and the chance to hang out with representatives of the developer and community teams from Paragon Studios.
Here's what we have in store:
To start things off, we wanted to let you know that Friday, March 11 at 10:30 AM, Paragon's own Matt "Positron" Miller will be on a Newsarama panel entitled, "Game Comics: Lifting the Curse," where Matt and other panelists will discuss what the pitfalls of video game-based comic books currently are, how to make them better, and what the future of this subgenre could be.
Then, on Friday night, we'll be hosting a combined NCsoft Meet and Greet with Aion and Guild Wars. There will plenty of fun and socializing, not to mention an awesome raffle where fantastic prizes will be up for grabs if you have the right ticket, of course!
Here are the exact details:
What:=red> NCsoft PAX East Meet and Greet When:=red> Friday, March 11, 6 PM to 10 PM Where:=red> Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, Harbor Room 425 Summer Street Boston, Massachusetts 02210 (617) 532-4600
Because this event free to our players, please keep in mind admission will be granted to the capacity of the venue.
As anyone whos attended one of our events before knows, Meet and Greets just wouldnt be the same without giveaways, so City of Heroes players who attend the event will be rewarded with their choice of one of the following costume powers:
Meat Doctor Costume Inherent Power
Rikti Mentalist Costume Inherent Power
Praetorian Police Costume Inherent Power
Ghoul Costume Inherent Power
Freakshow Boss Costume Inherent Power
Carnival of Shadow Harlequin Costume Inherent Power
PPD Hardsuit Costume Inherent Power
Praetorian Clockwork Costume Inherent Power
Knives of Artemis Costume Inherent Power
Carnival of Shadows Ring Mistress Costume Inherent Power
Last but certainly not least, CoH will be throwing a panel stacked with members of our Dev Team on the Saturday of PAX East weekend, so if youre considering whether or not to attend the convention based on our participation, go ahead and buy your tickets! Here is the info we currently have to share about the panel session (more specifics coming soon!):
What:=red> CoH PAX East Panel Session When:=red> Saturday, March 12, 12 PM to 1 PM Who:=red> Nate Second Measure Birkholz, Matt Positron Miller and Senior Environment Artist, Ryan Roth.
Well keep you updated on all further PAX East developments, but right now is a good time to mark your calendars for some City of Heroes quality time!
We look forward to having you join us for an awesome PAX East weekend!
