Discussion: City of Heroes Anniversary News!

We'll be very busy this week with activities! We want to make sure everyone's up to date with news items that are published around the web to help us celebrate eight years of City of Heroes.

OnRPG has an extensive interview with Melissa "War Witch" Bianco on the past, present and future of City of Heroes Freedom

OnRPG also asked some of our veteran players about their experiences in City of Heroes - what characters they play, what they love about the game and what keeps them coming back!

• Here's their interview with Dechs Kaison, who's been playing since 2004.
• And here's their interview with "TwoFlower" who's been with us since Beta!

• Link for North America
• Link for Europe

Disappointing that MMORPG.com giveaways no good for the Australians ):

I hope some promotions over the anniversary remember us.

~~~

Great to see the news in one spot & hope to see lots of stuff happening.

My question is, will there be an in-game event?

O god not another rikti /zombie/magic banners event...everytime they happen I watch my FPS go from great to meh.........

Please be a contained event like halloween or winter....

standard PR spot. felt heavey edited and created by committee.lot of loose ends still dangling.
for example were we not told they would make a non-glowing hasten?. or how about other power fixes. 95% if what they do is fine ,its like pulling hen's teeth getting the other 5%.
wonder if they will have base raids back by 9th Anniversary ?

I have been lamenting not buying the Going Rogue item pack since Freedom went live. Now I can get the costume pieces (which have never been part of a bundle) for Free. This Rocks!

i was doing my best to promote the giveaway in game, i think i helped a bunch of friends who didnt have the costume sets get the costume sets as well as some free players who werent around for the GR release

Thank you I really enjoy with my new costume... or not

Country Error

Your Country is not included in this Promotion.

edit. Oh oh sorry. Wrong link Be careful when you select EU or NA

Yea I editet Accidentally clicked wrong link. You know too hasty

edit. BTW Jeff Minter is king

Here's their interview with Dechs Kaison, who's been playing since 2004

if you read the interview 1st question dechs says

I played for about a year when the game first came out in 2004, but didn't start playing again until after I had finished college in late 2009 and have been playing non-stop ever since.

so i take from the line stopped in 2005 started 2009
its a nit pick i know but it made me laugh

warwitch interview was very intresting looking forward to the event

add me to what will prob be a long line of people in europe that have american accounts and cant re-deem the code with out changeing the profile and wasting a eu code i thought when they merged they'd do away with seperate codes

if someone from the EU wants the code send me a email
(i doubt the webpage will run out but its a shame to waste it)

Was I even considered for some kind of "list" as to potential interviewees???????

I've already forgotten about most of you

I'd love to see an overview of the events, and when. And if you need someone to roleplay a Nemesis NPC general to add some more immersion, I volunteer! I promise to stay in character and name-drop PCs that are actively fighting.

There's gonna be an anniversary badge right? (Please excuse me if that's been posted before, I'm dealing with a fairly nasty case of a summer cold. Not really thinking too well ATM. )

I've been here longer than all the devs?

Awesome.

Add Positron's anniverary letter - it's been up for a while now

So... has anything interesting happened in game today?

Are the AVs and or GMs invading or anything?
