City of Altitis...
Issue 12 of City of Heroes/Villains launched yesterday. I'd been testing it in Open Beta on it's test servers for the past two weeks. Specifically, I'd been testing on of the Villain Epic Archetypes added to the game. More specifically, I levelled a brand spanking new Arachnos Widow/Fortunata up to level 32 in 8 days.
I feel like![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
winterlady all of a sudden. It's weird.
Anyrate.
So, yeah. It went live yesterday. This issue also brings us the ability to purchase additional character slots for our servers. See, we were limited to 12 characters per server, which was great for the time. There were 12 archetypes (5 Hero, 5 Villain, 2 Epic Hero), so you could have one of each*! Well, now you can have up to 36 slots per server, but you have to either purchase or use awarded slots to get there. I got 5 free slots. 3 for have a subscription for 3 full years (I lapsed due to the OMG SO POOR) and 2 for logging in after the issue went live. So now I've got new characters on my favorite server that I can hug and squeeze and level until I get bored with them**.
Lots of stuff got added in this update. And this is a "small" update.
So if you don't see me for a while? I'll be in Paragon City or the Rogue Isles or Cimerora or Ouroboros or something.
*: yeah, right, try like 5 of any given archetype on a server, and spilling over into one of the other 11 servers to make more alts
**: Which will be in about 2 days, or 10 levels, whichever comes first. Then I'll make brand new ones and do the same thing with them. Then I'll become crackaddicted to one and level it from 1 to 40 in 2.5 seconds and be hermetically sealed to my desk chair.
