Congrats.

Except that the op was asking for a secret identity name... he was asking for another superhero name for when a character turns good/evil. For example, Captain Good becomes known as Captain Evil when he goes rogue, but can return to being Captain Good if he mends his ways. Similar mechanic, I suppose, but for a different purpose, and used in a different manner (going rogue/vigilante versus civilian outfit).

Speaking of which, the current in-game ad system has been out of use for some time. Are there any plans to re-use it? Sorry if this question has already been asked.

Also, I've always been perplexed as to why the Hero Cons haven't been tapped for media coverage by the several MMO / gaming online magazines out there, Like TTH or MMORPG.com, or even G4.

I also fealt this way when taking the survey. While taking the survey, I felt as if it want me to select the answers to which the bias was steering, which invalidates the purpose of a survey. It's too late to change the survey now, but in the future, you may want to consider the wording in order to eliminate bias as much as possible.

To add to my survey results, I feel that games, books, and movies should create an empathetic response in the audience. Any good story, regardless of medium, should. If a story involves cruelty to animals, for example, without doing anything with it, like driving character to action, it won'
t be a good story. Just like in other mediums, some games are built with only shock value and gimmicks; these games lack a good central story, and therefore aren't worth my entertainment dollars. In other words, a game can still have extreme content such as torture, murder, etc., as long as they are elements of a story, and not just the end-all-be-all to the game or story.

As far as violence related to graphics technology. No, not wholly. Really, it's a complete package of technology, including AI, procedural rendering, and processing capabilities of the gaming devices as well.

I'm pretty sure that's the desired effect, based on a hunch and clues from the devs that some new technology would help aleviate problems with teaming on low-pop servers. I'd test it again with different/ more toons from each server.

Funny thing is, I often forget which arcs have badges attached, so I still get surprised like this on occasion

Sounds like a gelcap for small doses, or perhaps ingested for larger ones. Supports the rave theory also.

Any bets on the lead content?

Ironically, my favorite motor oil is a beer. And at 10.5% ABV, who can blame me?

And I just realized _Sixy_ was back. WB!

IMPO? Lately? Slow development cycles, and scarcity of new canon stories for the past 12+ months. These won't matter much for new players, but to keep veterans strung along, we need something new to do in-game. Hopefully, GR will take care of that, but the long development cycle it's been in hasn't helped the game, again IMPO.
