As autumn slowly creeps in, many of the super-powered denizens in Paragon City cast a thought to Halloween. This year’s celebrations take an all-new twist as Heroes don costumes of an altogether different nature - from the Coralax Minion to the Paragon Protector, all the way to a Vahzilok Eidolon!

Today our friends at Boomtown published the latest “Ask-a-Dev” instalment with Melissa “War Witch” Bianco’s answers to player’s questions about how the world of City of Heroes / CIty of Villains was designed.

Also have a look at Vince D’Amelio’s introduction. Vince is the Senior programmer for City of Heroes / Villains and responsible for such great inventions as the Rikti Invasion.

All done for fun, Evolution Radio has kindly organised two weekly PvP events every Monday and Friday alternating between Defiant and Union in Pocket D’s Arena!

Usually random team based and open for players of every level, it’s a good way for you to try out your PVP skills in a friendly environment.

Monday Night 8-10pm is the Monday Night Mash Up with Fen Tiger. And Friday Night 10pm-Midnight (alternating) is the Friday Night Fight Club with Proximity.

So come and join Evolution Radio in Pocket D on those days… and punch a DJ in the face!

Tired of that character you accidentally named “Keernsky”? Now you can correct that spelling mistake.

Or did you spend hours creating that cool looking character but then realised that you were on the wrong server? Well, then teleport him to your home server!

Today we have turned on the Character Transfer and Character Rename features on all European servers. Now you can transfer your characters from one server to another and rename your characters.

Also we have freed-up thousands of names - giving you a wider choice of names again.

More on this in today’s feature update!

• new “Very Rare” purple invention sets

Find more on these exciting new features in our Feature updates!

Update: Detailed Walkthroughs for both features are now available under the new “Walkthrough" section

Arachnos always needs new blood, and that’s why we’ve sent Ghost Widow herself out to find new members this October.

Under cover of a ‘comics convention’ Ghost Widow will be issuing tasks to potential recruits over the weekend of October 13th and 14th. Recruits who manage to complete those tasks will potentially be eligible to join Arachnos.

Your first task is to infiltrate the show itself, taking place at the ThinkTank, Millennium Point, in Birmingham. Make full use of the environment to blend in with the general populace; a good use of your time may be to talk to some of the many comic artists and writers attending, including Mike ‘Hellboy’ Mignola, Dave ‘Watchmen’ Gibbons and Adi ‘Iron Man’ Granov amongst others. There are many other activities to take part in, all of which will serve to conceal your true purpose.

The nerve centre of Ghost Widow’s operations for this weekend will be the NCsoft stand, serving as cover for Arachnos. To show your potential loyalty, it is highly advised that you spend time at the stand, donating money to their chosen charity to obtain sketches and perhaps - if you are suitably reverential - getting your photo taken with the mistress herself.

While advance Night Widow scouts have either seduced or destroyed most law enforcement authorities in the area, we cannot be certain that Longbow forces will not attempt to set up anti-Arachnos propaganda stations. Ms. Liberty herself may appear in person to oversee these activities; be on your guard.

If you can’t make it to this show, don’t defect to Freedom Corps just yet; Ghost Widow will return, at Memorabilia in November.
