In something somewhat related to HERO Games, Champions Online crashed Christmas day and was still down as I went to bed last night.
For those who are unaware, Champions Online is a MMO using the HERO Games setting. Sort of fun, but IMO an incomplete game. Its system isn't based on HERO (in fact, being not effect based it's a complete reversal of HERO System). Just the background and characters and even those seem greatly altered at least in appearance.
The owning company isn't HERO Games, but rather Cryptic. Still, Long is always talking about it at the official web site. So I consider the crash on what had to be an important day of first experiences to many customers to be karma for 6th edition.
I'd smile except that I work in IT and know that the poor slobs working at Cryptic are in for a major backside chewing over this. Someone there deserves it, but it may not be the people getting the worse of it.
