Do u think Cryptic will get a Armory type page set up after the game launches, i know WoW took a while to get its Armory going but that kinda turned into fuel to put ppl down, like beimba and wowheroes. I dont want it to show gear or anything like that, but kinda like if u looked up a hero on S.H.I..E.L.D.'s data base ya know, name,powers, picture,known info(their back story if the made one) their SG(and link to it), their accomplishments in game, and their secret I.D.(if they decided to divulge that info) ya stuff along those lines.:D

Yes, they've talked a lot (at least on Twitter) about the web-based systems they're setting up, apparently they're doing some things that haven't been done before. Can't remember if they've actually stated this is what they're doing, but I'd be surprised if they didn't.

Considering the ubiquitous nature of fan made character tools, I'd be surprised if they didn't have a character details API avialable from the get-go, in a similar vein to EVE Online's system.

As far as the IP goes, the Champions Universe has the ASPRA database of all registered superheroes.

Ok cool i was just wondering because on CoX i would sometimes come across the heroes that had a awesome back story or were just all around well designed characters and would think, "That little info box doesnt really do it justice." lol
