    Sorry for the dumb question, but could be someone as nice as to tell me what Premium players get access to in Issue 23 please? I am VIP, so I have no problem, but my wife is Premium and she asked me. I can't get head and tails about that from the patch notes.

    Thanks in advance!
    The answer for this Issue is "nothing for free" - unless you count the LFG channel - everything else is free for VIPs, or paid for content for non-VIPs.

    Or was this your Yoda-like way of emphasizing to the art team just how awful the #2 Penelope pose is?

    There will be nothing quite like watching that broken butt peeking up over the tab bar with every load-in to drive the point home.
    Any normally athletic person can copy her pose without any difficulty.

    You left out the complaints about both images being too wide for narrower monitors - they actually had to scrap both options, and redesign them to be above the forum, and not down both sides.

    What part of systematically trashing a superpowered fascist dictatoship that was planning to enslave the multiverse isn't heroic?

    I think that it would have been harder to cut off the legs of them when they were in their non-action poses and still make it look good - only showing the top half of them in their action poses keeps the same look as the previous banner.

    Game mechanics

    Praetoria isn't a faction - it was created to be destroyed, so that we could get a unique and satisfying final victory over an impressively evil and powerful enemy - there's no other story experience in the game that gives the kind of permanently triumphant conclusion that the Praetorian storyline delivers.
    They laid out the groundwork in GR, then carefully built it up and paced it through the dimensional war until we reached the climax in the Magisterium, finally smashing the loyalists once and for all, and leaving their evil master crushed and humiliated in the ruins of his evil empire.

    What happened?
    They made some tweaks to the layout so that it'd be easier to fit onto narrower monitors - it seems that anything that was going to be down the side of the forums had to be redone.

    Comerora's been added to on and off since it first came out, and it plays a key role in some very important parts of the lore - a medieval zone could do the same, especially if it was linked to Hero 1 and Lady Gray in a similar way to the links Cimerora has to Statesman in the lore.

    Well, phase one of her plan ended once her fall guy Darrin Wade had been dealt with - now she's spreading her power.

    They should have made a medieval zone to cover that, like they made Cimerora around the same time as that barbarian MMO - we need a medieval time travel zone

    It might have to - so far, the weather effects they've done with rain have been perma on mission maps, so it's possible that it'd need to be perma on a zone map too if they wanted to get it to work properly.
    If they were going to add puddles of rainwater on the streets too, then I think it'd have to be perma, as morphing scenery is currently restricted to RV.

    She's still in Atlas - so I think that she's now the most represented NPC in the game

    The Villains are being kept under control - they're not running the war.
