Cryptic needs volunteers in the San Jose area to come to our offices for a user experience test. We need about eight local volunteers to stop by Cryptic Studios for one-hour play test sessions, where we’ll have them test specific elements of game play and provide focused feedback.

Today is my last day here in the Community group. I’ll be moving to another department here at Cryptic. In my time here I’ve met many wonderful people on the forums, in the game and on IRC; worked with some of the best people I’ve ever met and learned a ton about being a Community Rep.

I leave you in the very capable hands of Daeke, WishStone, Blue_Fire and Rekhan. I’ll still pop into IRC and the playtests, and I’ll certainly be in game after launch!

To all of you who have been here since I started (and before!), thank you for your patience as I learned the ropes, and your dedication and enthusiasm for Champions Online.

May we meet again on the path, before we all meet in the clearing ... — Roland Deschain

Through Harsh Winters
by Sapphire

Have you ever wondered what happens when a superhero has a bad day? Or a bad month? Or a bad year? What happens when a superhero gets depressed, or develops claustrophobia after having been trapped in a cave by their arch-enemy, or develops a twitch every time their emergency line rings? Superheroes get PTSD, too.
