MMORPG.com City of Heroes Correspondent Pamela Blalock writes this guide to the recently added Mission Architect system in NCsoft's City of Heroes

Screenshot

With the latest update to City of Heroes/Villains, the much talked about Mission Architect feature was added, allowing players to create custom missions. Those missions are published for the community, giving all players access to play, rate, and comment on them.

This is a quick guide on how to make a mission using CoH's Mission Architect. With the right amount of time invested in mission making, you can really make something great. It's important to know that this feature does not allow you to make a custom map, but rather lets you choose from several pre-made maps.

Read the Mission Architect Guide

Definitely sounds interesting. I wonder if the Champions Online game will have the architect feature as well.

I already created my first. It's called "Monkey Business." Joe Young has gotten in trouble with the Family and he needs your help to save the monkey club. Go check it out!

I believe MA was developed entirely by the Cryptic-free devs left at NCSoft.  From everything I've read, Champs won't have anything like that.  (doesn't mean it won't get added later though!)

Yes the MA was done after NCSoft took over CoX.  That doesn't mean that Cryptic won't "borrow" the idea for Champions though.

I also read that within only a few days after the MA went live there was already FIVE TIMES the player made content as there was dev made.   So maybe now the people that always complain they are "so bored" with CoX will hush and go play something.  :)

As popular as this idea turned out to be, I expect it to appear in many other MMO's.
