NCsoft’s panel at PAX
Posted by Rockjaw in Community, MMO-related on September 3rd, 2008
By complete coincidence – I was looking at Aion-Welten.de, who’ve been driving traffic this way recently (Hello, Germans!) – I found a video of NCsoft Interactive’s panel presentation at Penny Arcade Expo, which is embedded below. This first part deals mostly with Aion, and is a good general overview of the game.
You’ll quickly see that this has been recorded by a fan in the audience, so excuse the quality. Come to think of it, that leads me to ask your opinion: wouldn’t you like to see this stuff recorded and presented officially through NCsoft channels?
Indeed, perhaps this is something my team should be doing (given we’re doing so much other video stuff). Hmmmm? Do let me know in comments. The more of you who want it… the more likely it’ll happen for future events.
Hint. Hint. Read the rest of this entry »

… is now live, courtesy of our friends in the US. Go and declare yourself a Fan.
Don’t forget, there are a few other official Pages for our games on Facebook, which I listed way back in June.
Win a Neil Edwards-painted PC!

First it was Andrew Wildman’s pen caressing the curves (er… okay, flat panels) of a custom-built City of Heroes styled PC.
Now it’s Neil Edwards’ turn, who picked up his paint brushes to create a one of a kind PC case featuring Statesman and Ghost Widow.
Where can you win it? In The Sun, of course – that super soaraway superpowered paper of record.

Official, and non-official, Facebook stuff
Posted by Rockjaw in Community, MMO-related on June 7th, 2008
I’ve noticed in the last few days that a few people have been becoming ‘fans’ on Facebook of this City of Heroes Page. While it’s cool that people want to be fans of COH, I wanted to point out to y’all that it’s not an ‘official’ page. (There isn’t an official ‘Page’ yet, but there will be.)
One of the big issues with Facebook Pages is that anyone can create them, and they don’t get vetted as official or not. As a result there are lots of well-meaning fans who create Pages that are totally unofficial. While there’s nothing wrong with this, I just wanted to point you to some Pages (and Groups) that I know are official, because we set ‘em up. If you’d like to become a fan/join a group, and want to get the inside scoop direct from the source, then join these. Read the rest of this entry »
Eurogamer re-reviews CoH
Posted by Rockjaw in Links of Others, Press on May 27th, 2008
Which is nice of them. In 2004 it scored 9/10; in 2008 it scores 7. Hmmm. Here’s a sample:
I still love it. I still have more fun in that City than I ever have in World of Warcraft, or elsewhere. It’s just so instant, so immediately satisfying. A new power isn’t just a slightly better chopping action, but the ability to fly. Or to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Or to call up purple tentacles from another dimension to bind the enemy to the spot. How can you not love that? It’s cartoon, it’s comic, it’s the gaming form of those brightly coloured words that burst from Batman’s TV fighting. But it’s also a world that, I suspect, has had its day.
Not bloody yet it hasn’t.
You said what?
