City of Heroes Issue #13 Preview

IGN has cranked out a brief preview of City of Heroes Issue #13, based on what they learned about NCsoft's upcoming update at the San Diego Comic-Con.
First of all, it's free. It's one of three free content packages that players get to download every year and Issue #13 is the last one for 2008. In it heroes or villains will discover the ability to create user-generated missions to further extend the life of one of today's most popular MMOs.

What does this mean exactly? Essentially, players will get to craft their own storylines, complete with custom dialogue and characters that can include other non-AI-controlled players in the universe. While your adversaries will always need to be a set number of baddies from the standard stable of foes, what they're doing, what you do to stop them, who you work with and the impact that has on the world around you is entirely up to your design.
