Last week, we announced the City of Heroes Freedom™ Player Summit (a.k.a. the FPS or the Pummit) in Palo Alto, California, on Saturday, November 19, 2011, and today, we are happy to share the full schedule with you so you can mentally prepare for this excellent opportunity to meet the fantastic people from Paragon Studios™, learn more about your favorite MMO and meet other members of our wonderful community of players!
But before we give you a rundown of the events, allow us to present to you the exclusive costume power selected for this 2011 Freedom Player Summit!
Here comes the Rulu-Shin Costume with a mighty disturbing moving eye as a chest piece, courtesy of none other than Rularuu himself:
Feeling like donning your spandex and super-jumping to the Freedom Player Summit yet? Well, here are the details for the venue and schedule of activities to entice you even further!
This year's venue is the exotic Dinah's Garden Hotel in sunny Palo Alto! With its artefacts collected around the world and lush gardens with koi-filled rivulets and mini-lakes, you'll feel as though you've landed in a peaceful Praetorian setting!
PLEASE NOTE! Parking is limited so if you live in the area, you may want to either use public transport or car-pool!
