City of Heroes/Villains Interview

FiringSquad has conducted an interview with Cryptic Studios’ Jack Emmert about the company’s future plans for the City of Heroes franchise.

Q: City of Heroes and City of Villains continue to be popular MMORPG titles. Even with the face of current and upcoming titles in the genre do you believe both games will continue to be popular?

A: Of course! Historically, successful MMP’s that break the 100,000 subscriber mark tend to last for a while. Ultima Online, for instance, is still going strong even with incredibly strong competition from a half dozen other fantasy titles. Cryptic Studios is fully behind supporting City of Heroes for a long time to come.
