I agree with you on that. Can a zone be made that you cannot use travel powers? I remember (many many moons ago!) that when ICON first came out, you had to run through Steel Canyon to get there (there was no north Subway station), or run through IP. Although, that was kinda fun, a real gauntlet to get by all the baddies so you can edit your costume. LOL And of course there was always that one mission door, all the way in the back corner of the Hallows that you would get at level 6 or 7, that was a dangerous hike to get there too.

I'd like to see a post-apocalyptic town/city similar to Pripyat / Chernobyl in the Ukraine. Pripyat Wikipedia Creepy, spooky, etc I know we have Boomtown, the hollows, crey's folly, etc, but none of those feel "Creepy" to me. They are too "Destroyed", this should be a "There were families and people living here, but then ol' Doc Vazh came along and wiped out the 'burbs". Make it levels 15-30. Throw in alot of zombies, vazhalok, banished pantheon, give it that "Walking dead" feel abandoned Amusement rides, this was the suburbs of Paragon City that had amusement rides, a roller coaster, games tents, that now no one visits. Hmmmm, maybe the carnies might be parking themselves in there?

I recall there was some missions (from arbiter brass? IIRC), that you are told by him to attack an Arachnos base, but it's with his permission and for the progression of the assignment. I would like to see missions, similar to the tutorial (if you start in galaxy city, and choose a villain, you see them there at the end), why are they there in GC? Also, there is alot of Arachnos in Faultline, doing "Archaeological" digs and investigations. Going so far as establishing a base (on the other side of the Dam), with tunnels all over the northern part of Faultline. I don't know if there is a treaty or permission for them to be there, but it's interesting that this is inside Paragon City, and no heroes, or longbow are doing anything about it. Something is going on, and it would be interesting to build upon that. So many ideas can come from this!

The steps listed above are very good. I like the idea of reviewing the current content and missions, and seeing where things can be improved. I also think that the Arachnos soldier / blood widow can use some examination. I don't think they should be going after / doing operations against Arachnos. I see them doing covert missions, spy and saboteur type of things, sewing dissent into paragon city, strike forces, commando operations, etc.

Count me in!

I know it would be big, but baby steps. I didn't say to re-do everything all in one day (Rome and all that), but if the powers that be, wish to put a team together to do one project, one new story arc, or something. I would be interested in joining that team for the betterment of the community, and Villains on Redside. Anyone listening, put my name on the list. 🙂

My suggestion, if it has not already been said: Improve, and update alot of the mission content for Redside. 80% of the missions in the Rogue Isles are what? fight arachnos, fight the circle, fight the freakshow, fight the goldbrickers, fight the skyraiders, etc. Should villains not be fighting heroes, longbow, "the good guys". I know bad guys do fight other bad guys, but I think the majority of being a villain should be fighting the good guys. I would like to see more longbow, vanguard, epic hero, misc vigilante, etc in the stories. To me, it gets boring and tired to fight the bad guys (most) of the time. Why am I playing a villain? why not just play a hero then? Another nitpick I have is playing an arachnos soldier. I have a widow and a soldier character, and it bugs me when I play a generic mission from a contact that has me going in and attacking an arachnos base. I know I'm a "Destined one" but still, I'd think this would get you court martialled in a hurry. I think that arachnos characters should have their own story arcs, which is more in line of being a soldier for the organization. Secret missions against longbow, into paragon city, doing hits on hero bases and infrastructure, assassinate key figures (like mayors and politicians). I am an avid roleplayer and GM. I propose if the community wants to pitch in and work on this as a project, I would be willing to volunteer my time to make the stories and mission write up content, I'm not good at anything else on the development side. We can come together and create alot of nice new story arcs for arachnos, then maybe expand it and make brand new content for the rest of redside. I think that would rejuvinate things a bit for Redside. Thoughts?

Is this a bug? I created a Arachnos Blood widow character, and when I went to make a new costume, it could not find the costume pieces. I currently have a Blood Widow costume on my first slot, and wanted to make a second one with a helmet. Is this a bug? or am I not looking in the right place in the costume creator? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Mirage.

I second this!

Why stop at $1 a month for server maintenance/upkeep. Why not bump it and start on a second or third server If $1 can afford one server, I think that $5 is not much to ask for monthly, so we can have 5 servers. BUT do research all the legalities first, I am so happy that this is up and running after 7 years, I don't want it to go away anytime soon.

A big heart felt and deep "THANK YOU!" for restoring this game. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard on this for us, the hero (and villain) community. We are behind you all, to the end. Together we stand, AGAIN!
