NCsoft's Richard Garriott Meets with Fans, Real Superhero

NCsoft held a fan meet-and-greet event in Austin over the weekend where Richard Garriott, met with hundreds of fans as well as with The Defuser, AKA Jarrett Crippen, the City of Heroes devotee who won Sci-Fi Channel's "Who Wants To Be A Superhero" reality show.

Garriott, who is developing the soon-to-be-released Tabula Rasa, appearing as "General British" in full uniform was joined by the Ghost Widow, one of the signature characters from City of Villains. The event also included representatives from other NCsoft titles including Dungeon Runners, Guild Wars, Lineage I and II, as well as City of Heroes and Villains, who signed autographs and provided insight into their respective games.

Crippen appeared along with the City of Heroes representatives and gave autographs to an enthusiastic crowd. Crippen was also promoting a non-profit organization, "Scare for a Cure", an Austin-based Halloween haunted house that raises money for breast cancer research.

The invitation-only fan event included Garriott answering questions from attendees as well as providing autographed Tabula Rasa items. NCsoft has conducted a series of meet-and-greet events round the country this year, providing time for fans to meet one-on-one with its game developers.
