Issue 11 launch maintenance
NCsoft has announced that the North American game servers for the City of Heroes/City of Villains properties will be coming down on Wednesday, 28 November, for extended maintenance prior to the launch of Issue 11. The server downtime is expected to run approximately six hours, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern Time. Will we see Issue 11 live when the servers come back up? Naysayers point to the upcoming Prestige grant and Debt wipe on 10 December; however, even though the event is mentioned in relation to Issue 11, NCsoft stated explicitly that it would take place after Issue 11 launches. So let's keep our fingers crossed, folks: we'll know the outcome in less than 24 hours.

As part of the announcement that NCsoft was purchasing the rights to the City of Heroes franchise from Cryptic Studios, the development team revealed that they were going to roll out some fun stuff for players to thank them for their continued support and patience in the coming time of transition. The first perk came the day the of the announcement, when players who only owned City of Heroes or City of Villains were granted access to both games.Well the team has lifted the veil on the second phase of gaming goodies, revealing that the prestige grant and debt wipe will be taking place a little less than a month from now, on December 10th. As part of the announcement, Supergroups will be receiving 20,000 prestige for each member they have on the day of the grant. They're also encouraging players to be as spectacularly reckless as possible, since all debt will be forgiven on the 10th. Don't you wish real life were like games sometimes -- who couldn't use an arbitrary debt wipe?
