Yep. Hero of the City is the badge you get for reaching level 50, which is the current (and hopefully permanent, but you never know with MMOs) level cap.

I'm told there's very little resemblance.

I do wish I was there on launch, just so that I can see what ridiculous concepts/names come out before Cryptic goes through the lists themselves. :D

If you want to see how the game's changed, you can reinstall it in the next few days. There's a "four-day weekend" of double XP and access for all inactive accounts on October 8-10th.

Here's the manual for Champions Online that gives a rundown of the character creation system it uses. I've been told it's not the HERO system, but I wouldn't know.

It isn't. It's got some obvious nods to it, particularly the stats. But it's at best a kissing cousin.

Five years ago I was a four-stone apology. Today I am two separate gorillas.

You think you have a vested interest in the HERO system? I playtested the last published 5th Edition adventure and proofread the first 6th Ed adventure.

And my GM wrote both of them.

And if they didn't sell well, he'd be sad.

That's vested interest: making sure a man almost in his 40s doesn't blubber like an infant.

Whose older brother and his wife runs that out in the middle of nowhere? :D

HERO System is, of course, their largest product in the warehouses; which is not surprising because he started work as their secretary while his wife officially became the Office Goddess.

Now that is vested interest. (Not to mention the pains of writing a sourcebook myself; he makes Lucha Libre HERO with Watts look easy. And it was all his idea.)
