Splitting Issue 13

Matt "Positron" Miller and Brian Clayton have given us some tasty tidbits about Issue 13:

The Good: The Mission Architect feature is getting customizable allies and enemies, at the request of the playerbase!
The Bad: This will delay the Mission Architect feature, pushing it back to Issue 14: Architect, which is slated for Q1 2009/Winter.
The Awesome: Issue 13: Power and Responsibility (new name) has some spectacular new feature announcements, and is slated for Fall 2008, with closed beta starting "soon™"!

Don't forget to check out the Massively.com interview with Matt Miller and Brian Clayton, with two more interviews linked at the end focusing on the PVP changes and Super Booster packs.

Issue 13 Details Released

New details about Issue 13: Architect have been released to the public! Among the changes are a new mission creator system, a "day job" system in which your characters will earn bonuses for the players logging out in certain locations, new powersets, including Shields and Pain Domination, new Cimeroran missions, and a new merit rewards system for rewarding more time-consuming activities such as long task forces.

In addition, Positron has written a message that goes into some detail about what we can expect from the new features.
