We need to get some shelf space for the boxes, not just in niche places like Gamestop, EBgames and such, but in big-box stores where the grannies are likely to purchase stuff for the young'uns. Any place that has the competition's MMOs should have ours.
At the places I listed, I saw CO, WoW and the rest of the usual suspects.
The shopping season is soon, so let's get out there and kick some :0 !!

I have two arcs that are Lowbie-Friendly (I use Longbow, Security Guards and such), villianous and soloable.
They are a bit on the silly/lighter-side, though, rather than the darkety-dark side of villainy. More like Vernon van Grun and less Peter Themari/Westin Phipps.
"Operation: Super-Wedgie" and "To Settle A Bet" by @BBQ_Pork

I was getting nervous, having been through Fred Meyer, Target and Walmart's bins this week and not seeing a single copy of CoH. Christmas is getting close.

Edit: I've seen our product at those stores before. Just not recently.

Yes, I am happy to have known our good friend HEROID before he got his big break. I was even a member of his SG, "The Other Guys".
But now, he appears to have sold the screenplay and will hopefully make some big bucks.
But will he remember the "little people" when he's famous?
Will he cut the rest of his SG-mates in on the action?

I'm speaking about "The Other Guys: the movie".

Gratz.

I'm sure that by now, you've discovered the first of the additional mission difficulty settings available to CoH-parents.
Baby-on-lap: removes mouse use, except to the occasional door and glowie.
Next is Toddler-on-lap: same as above, but may have random keyboard inputs occasionally. Very small chance (but this has happened!) of "press-the-shiny", specificly the computer's reset button.
For the CoH player with pets there's : Cat-on-Lap. Occasional random keyboard input. Mouse use is not restricted except for once/day, when it is yanked off of the desk by it's cord. Optionally, there is a very small chance of "walk-across-the-powerstrip". Yes, this happened once. Steps have been taken to relocate the strip.

Should at least some of the character's mission difficulty sliders (I am as good as X# of Heroes, Have/Don't Have Bosses when solo) apply to ToT spawns?

When defeated, your character will be dead.
However, in a few minutes the 1000mm clone gun will fire a pre-made clone of your character (in a specially padded, shock-resistant shell) to the location so that you can continue play.
The clone will be assumed not to be a member of the Resistance, nor a mutant.
Emperor Cole is your friend. Have a nice day!

My fellow heroes,
I have heard the rumblings and mumblings that some of us intend to travel to Preatorian Earth to join some resistance group to overthrow it's current government. Now, I'll admid that it must be tempting to do.
But what right do we have to travel to another dimension to tell them how thier government must be run? We are the city that produced Mayor "Spanky" Robinowitz for goodness' sake.
I'm not trying to crush your dreams of reliving WWII fantasies of joining the French Resistance and being the one who removed that dictator from power.

Our job here is not done.
We can't abandon our city to fight over there.
Giant Monsters wander our ports, our sewers and even our city parks.
Despite all our best efforts, the Hamidon is barely pushed back to a stalemate.
The Rikti are somewhat contained in the RWZ, but occasionally stream forth to fall from the skies like hail.
Our citizens are still getting mugged on the streets and thugs from the Rogue Isles still infiltrate our city to rob our banks and cause general mayhem before slinking off into the night.

If we get involved over there and fail, we will start an interdimensional war that we cannot afford.
But let's say that you do succeed over there? Who is going to rule? What system are we going to set up? They will probably end up with chaos, and have the strongest rogue claw his way up to being the next Emperor Cole.
Yes, I guess you can call me an Isolationist.
Awesome Possum, Hero of the City.
