To celebrate the launch of Issue #7 of its superhero/villain MMOs, NCsoft Europe allows five free days of access to past subscribers...


Delayed from a previous release in April, NCsoft Europe has today launched Issue #7 - "Destiny Manifest" free for City of Heroes and City of Villains subscribers. Offering a number of major improvements including a new PvE environment "Grandville" for Level 40-50 characters, and over 300 new missions, NCSoft Europe has also launched a five-day free access period for all previous subscribers of either game.

New mission type "Mayhem Missions" have also been added in Issue #7, allowing COV players the chance to enter instances of Paragon City and wreak havoc on the destructible environments. Patron Powers, enabling characters of over Level 40 to command the same forces as the game's 'Signature Villains'.

"This highly anticipated expansion makes villains meaner and introduces a PvP zone that has not been seen before in the online multiplayer market," said Matt Miller, Cryptic Studio's(tm) lead designer for City of Heroes and City of Villains. "Players will have a blast exploring the new high-level content and causing endless destruction in the new Mayhem Missions, which take being a villain to a new low. This expansion will reinforce to players that the 'City of' franchise is the top comic-book based game on the market, because Issue 7 has something that will amaze everyone."

The free period for frozen accounts will end at 5am (BST) on Sunday morning, so get those powers firing.

We'll have more on City of Heroes/City of Villains shortly...

If a Brute can have Energy Melee, i don't understand why scrappers cannot. i will say though that fire shield with spines will be nasty for PvE, but i prefer PvP. Meh Corrupters getting Storm and Controllers getting Themal is good though
