Massively shows the way to a forum thread on the f13.net forums discussing private messages they report some City of Heroes players have been receiving in-game from Cryptic Studios. According to the post, Cryptic (who developed City of Heroes before parting ways with NCsoft) is attempting to recruit CoH players to beta test Champions Online, leading to an extended discussion of whether or not this is appropriate. There's an official comment on this on the City of Heroes Official Forums, where NCsoft says: "Although we cannot stop someone from initially communicating with you - whether it be RMT (real money transaction) related, another game company trying to lure you to their competing product, or general spamming...we are in a position to investigate the situation (and potentially take action) once a solicitation has occurred, for it is a direct violation of our Rules of Conduct and EULA (End User License Agreement)."
