Thank you to all the players who submitted their arcs for consideration in City of Heroes' First Annual Architect Awards. We hope all of you enjoyed making the arcs as much as we enjoyed playing them. It was a difficult and intensive process, as we did receive a considerable amount of submissions, but we were finally able to narrow them down and announce the first ever nominees! Remember, the winners for each category will be announced at Hero-Con this Saturday, October 24, 2009. The nominees and winner for the Arc of the Year category will be revealed at Hero-Con.

For those of you who would like to play through the missions, we've posted the Arc IDs.

The Tower of Eternity is the fantasy MMO from NCsoft that has conquered Korea, and is heading this way soon. From spell casting to map use, aion kinah has all the hallmarks of a success. The story is an ethereal, fantasy-inspired world-split asunder, background-rich online RPG.

It is the recent trip to NCsoft that let us get some time with the game, have a quick play around with creating our own Mage character, get to run around the world playing some of the first quests and also get a feel for the gameplay mechanics.
