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.

I’m already writing missions as we speak. The idea of being able to create a series of missions featuring our beloved Paragon City Detective Agency is so amazing that I simply can’t express it in words. Being able to share the mythology we’ve created with our characters - Blue Boxer’s back story, or Silent Tsunami’s “control” issues with her mother - all as part of a series of missions that any player can enjoy? Holy crap that just boggles my mind. The only question left is - how long until you make me the happiest little MMO mission creator on the planet?

I Love City Of Heroes!!!
