Hello and Happy Holidays to the City of Heroes Community!
Over the last year we made substantial improvements our production philosophy in preparation for Freedom. Our success with a new hybrid business model depends upon our ability to bring more value into the game, especially for our VIP subscribers. Our continued goal remains consistently delivering more compelling content, more frequently, whether it be through your VIP subscription or the Paragon Market.
I want to thank you, our players, for supporting City of Heroes Freedom during its very successful transition to a new business model and subsequent launch! The Freedom initiative and Issue 21: Convergence have significantly increased our active player base and our revenues, and have invigorated our game with amazing new content including monthly Signature Stories, weekly items in the Paragon Market, Paragon Rewards, a kickin Halloween event, and plenty more! I can confidently say that the City of Heroes game has never been better.
As we continue to support our game and service we will be looking more than ever to you, our players, to help us steer City of Heroes into the future. In accordance with this philosophy, on November 19th we had our Fall Player Summit in Palo Alto, CA. Our venue was packed and a good time was had by players and Paragon developers alike! Not only did we have the opportunity to show you some of the exciting content coming before and within Issue 22, but we also took the opportunity to listen to you, our players. We wanted to know, what have you liked most about Freedom? What havent you liked? What can we do to add even more value to our VIP subscription? Hearing your thoughtful insights truly helps us to shape the City of Heroes experience.
One of the highlights from the Player Summit was our Create a Costume Set panel, in which our players worked with David Nakayama and our artists to design this new Retro Sci-fi costume set (see image). We are pleased to announce that we will be completing and detailing the designs and rolling out the costume set next year (details are still to be determined), and we hope to make this one of our regular Player Summit activities moving forward.
So I would like to thank all of the folks at Paragon Studios and NCsoft for their passion and dedication, and I want to thank our awesome players for helping to make the City of Heroes Community the best there is! We wish you well during the holidays and look forward to seeing you online in Paragon City the Rogue Isles and Praetoria!
Sincerely,
Brian Clayton
