Saturday

I haven't played City of Heroes in two weeks, but within the last week I was invited to the City of Villians Beta. When I came home on Friday I decided to try and set that up. This involved logging into my PlayNC account, creating a new game account for the game City of Villians (entering the game code they had sent me and coming up with a game account and password for the new game), then creating a message board profile for my new CoV account (and... this part bugs me... my board name needed a password too... but you never use your board name to log in to anything, you use your game account name... so tell me why the board name requires a password?). After that you need to make sure you have City of Heroes Test installed, then you need to get the CoV updater on your computer and run that...

After all of that, I couldn't log in. A visit to the message boards revealed that at the moment they are only testing from 6-8 pm PST, Monday through Friday. Sigh!

But the good news -- if you can call it that -- is that next week is my jury duty, and so I might get a chance to log in and take a peek at what CoV has to offer so far.
