http://www.cityofheroes.com/newsletter/0410/ and I assume that it is emailed to players too. Looks like there will be a Halloween event, possibly with those undead guys who are pictured. Could be interesting (if Cryptic have managed to get the villain balance right this time!).

They're currently in the game, in Talos Island and (especially) Dark Astoria.
Title: CoH Newsletter out Post by: Big Gulp on October 25, 2004, 08:50:10 AM The only complaint I can really conjure up about this game is how lackluster the events have been so far. This is a game that's just crying out for whacky events like a giant, skyscraper tall robot running amok through the city, or how about gelatinous ooze slowly expanding throughout the city, zone by zone? There's a lot of cool stuff you could do with this genre, but so far all we've seen are scattered new bad guys throughout the zones. Not exactly the stuff of the legend.

Banished Pantheon are cool though - Dark Astoria is one of the few zones with instant atmosphere. Title: CoH Newsletter out Post by: SurfD on October 25, 2004, 11:12:43 PM If you think DA has atmosphere, wait till you do the Eden Trial.
I SOOO fucking wish they had a zone like that that was available for entry any time, and not restricted to one trial that is level 39-41. I will have to agree tho, DA is just such a sweet zone.

I still think they are gonna pop the undead in the hollows, since all the npc's are actin wierd and carrying torches and books. |
