Deisgner Rick Drakan from Cryptic Studios is the author of the first City of Heroes Designer Journal at RPGVault. He talks about items in the game:
In online games in particular, the acquisition of items is an important part of showing other people just how cool and powerful your character is. If you're wearing the ultra-rare panda armor and wielding the incredibly powerful blade of ultimate nullification, then anyone who happens to walk by you is bound to be impressed. This is, I think, a pretty cool little social dynamic. It's especially important in games where, when you start out, all the characters of a given class and race look very similar indeed. Then, having these different items plays a big role in setting your guy apart from that other 50th level knight. He's only got a blade of penultimate nullification. Don't you hate being surrounded by cool and powerful characters? *g* |
