I need an actual box in hopes I'll get another Paragon Map.

Thanks for the reply. Steam made UT3 a pain between my version and their Black version so I guess i 'll go find some CoX retail boxes.

Hi, been away awhile, about a year. I have almost 4 years in play time, but haven't played Blueside since Villains launched. Is there anything special I need to know?
Also this: I got a Steam account and they're selling the Architect edition there. What's the best way to upgrade? Is there a box/disc edition? I was planning to get the GvE anyway just for the little bonus you get with that. Anyway, any advice on getting fully upgraded will be appreciated.

A not-insignificant percentage of missions you run once you get out of Mercy are very much like COH missions. A little window dressing has changed, but beating up on Family or Council in a warehouse in COV is virtually identical to the same mission in COH. What's so villainous about that?

Heh, not much.
Some of the features are interesting though. I like the edgier music and the environments I've seen. CoH appears to be getting some of these environmental upgrades within the missions.
Playing the beta is disconcertingingly bad at times, though I've experienced a few sessions when the lag was noticeably less bad than in CoH. Today, the game crashed so often as to be unplayable. Not good.
