NCsoft®, the world’s premier publisher and developer of massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) have announced the launch of the highly anticipated Mission Architect system in its comic-book inspired MMO, City of Heroes®. Now, with issue 14, this game takes another giant step, allowing players to design their own missions and story arcs to share with the entire City of Heroes community across all of our live servers.
Using an intuitive interface, players can browse through other player created missions and create their own missions from the ground up. Players will determine details ranging from environments, mission objectives and enemies, to written fiction and character dialogue; giving their stories nearly infinite depth and personalisation.
Among other rewards, architects who create extraordinary content will earn acclaim and reputation. The highest rated missions will be prominently displayed earning those players in-game rewards for creating excellent content. Additionally, the best of these submitted story arcs will be hand-chosen by the City of Heroes development team and deemed as “Dev Choice” missions. Community feedback will be paramount and some missions will elevate in status, unlocking new rewards and benefits for their creators.
“We are very excited for City of Heroes to be the first-ever MMO to offer this revolutionary new system to our players,” said Brian Clayton, General Manager and Executive Producer of the franchise. “Within two weeks of opening the beta version of Mission Architect to our community, players published an astounding 5,000 custom stories, representing up to 25,000 user-created missions. Such a steady in-flux of fresh content offers the capacity for endless adventures to City of Heroes subscribers.”
