At least this year the costume code does not seem like it will be permanent; looks like it will be temporary like the Halloween costumes. Still it bites that us on the Eastern shore are pretty well out of luck for these. I know I can not afford a plane ticket and/maybe hotel costs for even one night to attend.



The costume code functions just like the ones given out last year at the cons. It is a toggle power that you can turn on and off.

So maybe now it's time to start talking about the next CoX Con?



There is a section devoted to Hero-Con if that is what you are looking for.

It's that time of year again...when over a hundred thousand people start jumping into their most impressive character costumes and marching towards San Diego, CA to celebrate the pop-culture phenomena known as San Diego Comic-Con! This multi-genre fan convention spans the gambit of entertainment--from comics and movies to television, anime, toys, animation, video games and much, much more!

Will you be joining the masses this year? Well, we will be...and you're not going to want to miss the people and goodies we're bringing with us!

City of HeroesŪ will be strutting its stuff at booth number 5005 for the entirety of the convention - July 22nd through July 26th - and we'd love to meet you!

Come by and meet in person members of the City of HeroesŪ development and community relations teams! You will be able to seek Mission Architect advice and tips straight from the designers who created the system themselves - including Matt "Positron" Miller, Joe "Hero 1" Morrissey and Bruce Harlick. Or...you can take advantage of this unique opportunity to show them in real-time your already created story arc mission!

Thursday through Sunday you will have the chance to get your CoH character drawn by Paragon Studios conceptual artist, David Nakayama. Simply take a quality color screenshot of your hero or villain and bring it to the booth anytime. We'll put you in a grab bag with all the others submitted and if David reaches in and picks out yours, you'll be able to stop back at the end of the day and pick up your drawing!

But there's a whole lot more...

Make sure to attend our City of HeroesŪ panel on Saturday evening (7/25) from 6:30-7:30pm in room 7AB entitled "City of HeroesŪ - 5 Years and going strong. How to keep your MMO Alive and Kickin!" Here's the description:

Sit down with Brian Clayton (GM/Executive Producer), Matt Miller (Lead Designer), Vince D'Amelio (Lead Engineer), and Joe Morrissey (Senior Designer) who are some of the masterminds behind the award winning MMO, City of HeroesŪ. Hear tales of frustration and success from their 5 year journey. Discover how your favorite content became part of the game. Uncover the secrets of how to keep an MMO vibrant in an ever-changing marketplace. Room 7AB

Our giveaways this year will include the Knives of Artemis character temp power costume code, so stop on by the booth to pick yours up! (One per person only, please!)

You'll also have the opportunity to take pictures with Miss Liberty and a brand new soon-to-be-revealed Going Rogue character!

There's a whole lot going on, so don't miss out on all of the fun!

Remember - it's Booth #5005. We look forward to seeing you there!

**Not attending Comic-Con this time around? Don't despair - you'll have another chance to hang with us because we'll also be in attendance at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) in Seattle, WA, September 4th-6th. Watch for more details coming soon!

I would suggest waiting to see before booking any other hotel rooms.
