Paragon Studios has posted a new Q&A with answers to fan questions about the company's comic book themed MMO, City of Heroes. The game's designers discussed a variety of topics including the upcoming Going Rogue expansion and the recently released Super Booster V: Mutant booster pack.

Q2 “When a character changes his alignment, will he/she be able to use that alignments epic pool powers? such as a Stalker that goes Rogue/Hero can use Scrapper’s Ancillary power sets or a Defender that goes Vigilante/Villain and can earn the Patron power sets?”
WW: All characters will have access to the ancillary power pools for their AT. For ATs without ancillary power pools before I18 the powers are not exactly the same as the existing AT pools, but are very similar. Patron pools require running a patron arc to gain access to them, but once that’s been done once you always have access to the patron pools, even if you go to hero.

Q4 “Can you give us any comparison as to how big Praetoria is compared to what we already have with City of Heroes/Villains?”
WW: Nova Praetoria is about one and a half times larger than Atlas Park. I think Praetoria appears larger because there are no war walls to "close it in". The way we've seamlessly tied the visuals from one zone to another also gives Praetoria a really large scope. And that’s just the zones you’ve seen so far.
