Winter Event

The 2009 Winter Event has reached Paragon City™ and the Rogue Isles™ and there is much rejoicing to be had again this year! But don't fall into the trap and keep your senses alert as a new menace is also looming in the horizon threatening to bring the holidays to an abrupt end! Will you be able to defeat Lord Winter before he succeeds?

This year's Winter Event goodies include a new "throw snowflakes" emote and a character respec (both bought by candy cane salvage), and two new holiday badges--Festive and Lord of Winter/Lady of Winter! All the temporary powers, badges, and fuzzy earmuffs from last year are also back, bringing nostalgic cheer. Along with streets and rooftops loaded with Father Time's gifts, you'll still encounter snow beasts and Winter Lords, Father Time's mission, ski challenges, candy canes, and more in this fun-filled feast of holiday festiveness!

December 2009

Many of the heroes I know have been spending time in the Hollows recently. Numerous battles against the Outcasts, Trolls, Hellions, and Circle of Thorns are taking place with the good guys victorious on all fronts.

Kaptain Amerika recently teamed up with the legendary Lorena to turn back The Lost and discovered that they were working with the Rikti - that doesn't bode well for the future.

Although my battles in Croatoa continue, I have also spent some time investigating things in Brickstown and Founders Falls which seem to have problems all their own.

Another successful 2XP weekend

- I can confirm that I have discovered alternate versions of myself - photos are on my facebook page.

Double XP weekend starts tomorrow...

...and I am quite excited about seeing all of my friends again. Yes!

Hmmmm...

I have discovered several alternate realities, parallel earths if you will. I wonder if there is a parallel version of me in them...
