CoH's City Scoop drops player written news
One of Paragon City's best-kept open secrets is that its heroes - everyday people who put on their spandex and weapon harnesses just the same as you and me -- are pretty incredible folks, and nowhere is this more obvious than in the pages of the City of Heroes player-written City Scoop.
What do we like most about the Scoop? It's not just the consistently high quality of the writing, the in-depth retrospectives of the individuals Behind the Mask, or the artwork, but it's all of those elements combined with the passion put into it by the people behind the project. The pages show that real thought is put into layout and leading, that each person cares about the final product, and that everyone wants to make -- and succeeds in making -- the Scoop fun to read.
For example, whether you enjoy or dislike PvP (Player v. Player) activities, there is a wonderful article in the current issue about the Saturday Night Fights on the Justice server. It doesn't go into a great deal of detail about how to go about indulging in PvP slug-fest; however, it does explain the social structure behind the Saturday Night Fights, and how the players support one another in both working the bugs out of their characters, and in learning how to have the greatest level of enjoyment in the PvP zones.
Kudos -- heartfelt, and many of them -- to the marvelous staff and dedicated volunteers that keep this newsletter going. And if you're not reading it when each issue comes out, well... that's not very heroic of you, now, is it?
