Buttcapes and 60 Day Market Cap Removed

I was a strong advocate for the removal of the 60-day-inactivity-market-deletion, and with Issue 14 I and those who supported the idea of getting rid of it can claim victory. So long as your account remains active (that is, you're subscribed to the game) the items you put on the market will not be deleted. If your account goes inactive for 60 days, you'll still lose your stuff. There was never any good reason for this arbitrary rule, and data mining probably showed the devs that a lot of players were losing a lot of stuff to the 60-day-deletion rule. An MMO should never deprive you of the rewards you earned. That's my stand, and I'm glad the devs agree. Victory!

In other news, Issue 14 also features the addition of buttcapes (aka waist capes). Unfortunately they're female-only right now, but I'll take it. VEATs just got VEATier. Much crying was heard in the Kheld forums. But really, if you play Khelds, you're used to pain, so no big deal. ;)

Details on the Booster Pack II have been released. All I can say is they had better add collars and costume change emotes to the base game, because charing extra for those features is pretty low. The good news is you get a coupon for a free Booster Pack if you buy the latest boxed edition of City of Heroes. I'll get that as soon as the price drops to $9. ;)
