• That's an inevitability, unfortunately, considering the size of the system and the number of quests that are likely to be published. Persistent advertising and word-of-mouth does pay off, though, if the content deserves it. Back in the City of Heroes days, I made an effort to recommend "Blight" (one of the player-made…
