City of Heroes/City of Villains Issue 8 Update Released

Cryptic Studios’ official City of Heroes website has been updated with an announcement that the game’s Issue 8: To Protect and Serve update is now available. A bit of what to expect:

Faultline Reborn (Heroes only)
Faultline transforms from a hazard zone to a city zone! Paragon City’s Measure X has passed, reconstruction of Faultline has begun, and the effort has revealed some major surprises.

Veteran Rewards Program (Heroes and Villains)
Launching together with Issue 8, the Veteran Rewards Program retroactively* rewards City of Heroes and City of Villains players for their past active playing time. Specifically, for each increment of three months played, players will unlock special costumes, powers, badges, and more! The program is retroactive by player account and rewards will be applicable to all characters within each respective account.
