Relive Memorabilia 2007 on video

31 Jan, 2008

If you didn’t make it to our biggest show of last year, here’s a chance to see what you missed.

NCsoft Europe had a massive presence at the Memorabilia Winter 2007 show last November, with bargain games on sale, live demos and in-game characters brought to life - both in person and by the Draw the World Together artists.

Plenty of players from across Europe came and enjoyed the show, but if you couldn’t be there, see what you missed in our exclusive video - now showing in the Movies section.

Thank you to everyone who came to the show and donated money to Draw the World Together, who were as always raising money on behalf of EveryChild. Between frantic sketching by our artists (drawing your in-game characters) and the never-ending efforts of Ms. Liberty and Ghost Widow (posing for pictures ‘in the game’ ), we managed to raise over Ā£2,300 for charity - smashing our previous all-time records for a single show. As always, every single penny donated goes to EveryChild.

As well as watching the video, don’t forget to visit the PlayNC Gallery to see all of the sketches that were created during the show, and our Flickr photoset showcasing some of the players who managed to get ’in the game‘.

We’ll be on the road again in 2008 so keep an eye out here on the official site for details!

The 2008 State of the Game

10 Jan, 2008

A word from the Devs on the past, the present and the future of City of Heroes / Villains

The New Year is always a time for reflecting upon the year past, as well as setting goals and outlining plans for the year to come. In looking back, we feel that 2007 was a banner year for City of Heroes. Three major free expansions, among the 21 total game updates over 12 months, made for exciting times! We added a completely new game system with Inventions, bringing “loot” and strengthening our economy, and invited players to fight off an alien invasion and travel through time, among other things!
