Have you downloaded yours yet? It’s not only gorgeous, it’s a fun way to look back and remember just how far we’ve come. I picked up my copy of CoH the week it launched, and four years later I’m still just as addicted as I was at the beginning.

Every time I think they have blown me away and can’t make me any happier, they say something like this:

I can’t tell you how excited I am for our game’s future, and although we have some major announcements yet to be made, one of the things I can talk about is a feature that we are planning. Similar in concept to our character creator, it allows you, the players, to create missions and story arcs for your characters and others to participate in. You’ll be able to pick the map, villain group, and objectives, as well as write the dialog and any clues needed for the missions. When you are satisfied with it, you can upload it and have other players across all servers play it and rate it. Fame will come to the players whose stories rate the best overall. It is features like these that we never dreamed of including when we first shipped, but are excited to be able to offer players very soon.

Just a quick note to let you know that Issue 12 Open Beta will be starting next Tuesday, May 6. I don’t know about you but i intend to take a sick day so I can explore all the things I’ve been waiting for. I’m told by little birdies that so far the updates are fantastic!
