The City of Heroes team loves its community. There's no real doubt about that -- whether or not you care for the design principles the team has embraced, any given member will happily engage with players about the reason behind same. So it's probably not surprising to learn that the team backed up an in-game proposal with more than just GM support. It might be a little more surprising, however, to find out that it included a Giant Monster and the intervention of War Witch herself.

The New York Post has the full details in comic form as well as a brief interview with several members of the Paragon Studios team about what it was like helping to make the proposal one to remember. And really, when your engagement starts off by destroying Rularuu, what can you say but yes? Read the full details over in the article, sure to bring a smile to the faces of any City of Heroes players of a romantic bent... or any romantics, period.

The power of love is a curious thing. Makes one man weep, makes another man sing.

Things like this really hit me in that sappy chick flick kind of way. It's one of the things I most appreciated when I played CoH. It was rare to meet anyone who was a complete Tool. Oh, I'm sure *some* are in there, but if so I never ran across them. It's not all that shocking to see that people who dream of being Superman or Captain America would not be all that inclined to crap into someone else's cereal.

Normally, when people do "themed" weddings of a Nerdish nature in real life (i.e. Star Trek wedding, etc) I laugh, and find it a bit ridiculous. However, here, they took something they enjoyed and managed to add a really special and once in a lifetime element to it and did so with people they didn't even know making it even more special.

So, cudos to both Paragon Studios and the CoH community for being so awesome. Oh, and Grats to the soon to be newly-weds. May you crush many a vile villain together = )

These are my team mates! This worked out so well and the paragon team was awesome! It was an amazing time seeing war witch pop into our base and bring us into atlas to face off with Rularuu.

A lot of us Knew he was going to do it and that he had worked with the dev's but we didn't know to what extent.

All the best wishes to the couple!
