Discussion: Paragon Studios Hangouts on Google+

We're always looking for new and exciting ways to engage our fans. In addition to traditional methods like the City of Heroes website and community forums, we currently post news updates on Facebook, Twitter and Google+™ and we host a weekly Community Coffee Talk on Ustream where we have casual chats with the City of Heroes developers. We do our best to make sure that no matter what medium you choose, you're always getting the latest information about City of Heroes Freedom.

The City of Heroes Player Summit gives our fans the opportunity to have face to face conversations with the people behind City of Heroes but we can't do those every week, and not everyone can attend. This brigs us to Google+ Hangouts. We love the idea of being able to have real-time, two-way dialogues with our fans and this gives us the opportunity to have this. By joining a G+ Hangout, you'll have a chance to talk to the developers of the game you love: City of Heroes Freedom!

Our first Google+ Hangout will be Thursday, May 31st at 5:30PM PDT.

In order for you to join us for a Hangout, you'll first need a Google+ account. You can get one here.

Google+ uses "Circles" to help you organize your friends, family and favorite things. You'll need to have us in a Circle in order to join us for a hangout. Simply click "Follow" at the top of our page to add us to a circle.

Right now, Google+ limits people who can chat with us to ten, so we'll do our best to rotate people in and out so everyone gets a shot to have their voice heard.

If you want to enjoy the Hangout without creating a Google+ account, that's fine too! You can join us on our YouTube page as we're chatting. You won't be able to interact with us, but you will be able to watch in real-time.

Another reason, along with their idiotic naming policy, that will keep me from using Google+.

Not only for CoH related chats but for anything.

Old fogey here sincerely hoping all this social networking is having the desired positive exposure effects for the good of the game. Personally, I find many of your efforts so far to be on the rambling and amateurish side and won't be joining you on Google+. Thank goodness my fellow players have taken to providing summaries that capture the few noteworthy things that do occur here in the forum. I'd caution that merely using more social networking outlets does not necessarily mean better products... or even better information flow. But it's clear the Community Relations Team has a different opinion in this matter. So good luck with it all.

Seriously wish you would drop facebook and google+. Focus on your own forums here. far too often info is late or missing. Or no redname response. Seems that you have even a smaller group that would be on facebook/google+ to be worth the resources.

Really don't see why you can't add a streaming video either here or on the offical site.

What is 5:30 PM PD in Eastern time?
