If such a project ever happened, I'd be more than willing to be a part of it, as I love CoH like Elvis loved fried sammiches.

So long as it didn't cause a performance hit, it would be cool if clicking on real life advertising billboards opened your browser and took you to that products website.

From the Canon Fodder thread:

The Greek gods aren't active anymore because they made treaties with other gods.

Again from the Canon Fodder thread:
The game takes precedence when a conflict arises between sources.

It's not so evident in City of Heroes as there are just a lot of buildings, but in City of Villains, it's REALLY apparent. When Aion "City" is comprised of, like four buildings, each with a footprint smaller than my house (and I'm a poor sod, too), something is wrong.

But they had at least 20-30 heroes/villains in each.

Rather than do something similar with just screenshots from the game, a novel way that Marketing might take advantage of the enthusiasm of the playerbase is to hold a massive contest - say, submit 'comic style' art (and obviously T for Teen style) for up to 5 NPC characters. A group of Paragon Studio judges (including David Nakayama and Ken Morse, for example, the art guys) then selects the best ones to represent the NPCs in the "City of Heroes Who's Who."

They can even do a "Create a Character's Look" contest - what DOES Galaxy Girl look like? Or Dauntless? How about the Dream Doctor? Or any of the other heroes/villains we hear about but never see? Talk about a chance to have your ideas made canon!

Then voila, we've got a comic-style "Who's Who" of the CoH-verse.

In fact, plenty of people (myself among them) are even now requesting non-reflective versions of the new reflective costume pieces, not because reflections look bad, but because non-reflective items sometimes mesh better with older designs.

City of Heroes is what it is. To expect a brand new game is unreasonable not just because of the technical difficulties involved and the cost of it all, but because a lot of people who play right now want THIS game, not a brand new one.
