Comic-Con 09: Paragon Devs On Creating, Maintaining City of Heroes

The superhero MMO City of Heroes has seen a lot, as far as MMOs go — it was released over five years ago, pre-World of Warcraft, has gone through a major studio shift, and is still under active development and promotion by publisher NCsoft.

Speaking on a Comic-Con San Diego 2009 panel, four key employees of Paragon Studios, the NCsoft team that was formed to take over development from creator Cryptic Studios, reminisced on the game’s path over the years and discussed the challenges of maintaining a lasting MMO.
