CoX seeks player submissions for optional in-game ads
As the City of Heroes dev team always said, optional in-game ads aren't all about advertising someone else's product. There's potential there for the players to use the billboard space, too; we thought the idea of advertising player-made publications, events, supergroups and even heroic deeds on the game's own billboards was fantastic. They're now making good on their words, as Community Relations Manager Alex 'Lighthouse' Von Minden has put the call out for player submissions that can be put in front of the Dev team. Guidelines for creating in-game ads can be found on the fan submission guidelines page.The well-loved regular fixture The City Scoop, a player-made magazine, is naturally in the forefront here and several ads for it have already been created, including the superb ad made by Echonis and pictured alongside. There's no guarantee that any submissions will be used, but the NCsoft community people can certainly take them to the devs' table to be looked at.
CoX news flash: City Scoop seeks submissions
If you attended NCsoft's CoX Meet & Greet in Milpitas at the end of November, the City Scoop would like to hear from you. They're looking for your thoughts on the event, and any memories you'd like to share. Did you arrange to hook up with Supergroup friends you'd only known online, or did you perhaps meet someone server you'd missioned with before? Why did you attend, and what did you think about the event?The full submission guidelines are on the forum, but there are three things to remember: keep it clean, keep it under 300 words, and get it in to them by Saturday, the 8th of December. Although they can't guarantee that they'll run every submission, they'll certainly run the best, and the entries chosen will appear in an issue of the Scoop sometime during the month of December.
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.
