Social spots/events are being facilitated in a big way, so no surprises there. Although you may find yourself a little surprised concerning non-combat in Champions Online. Combat? There's a lot of it - shock! But that doesn't mean Cryptic is blind to the fact that some superheroes do much more than pound faces until they look like a bowl of meat pudding.
In-game right now is an evidence system allowing players to collect villainous breadcrumbs and turn them into the authorities for increased reputation and consequently deeper resources. It sounds like a good start, and that's just what it is: a beginning. Eventually, Cryptic wants to turn their evidence system into an investigation system that's aptly named -- as it involves the creation of missions based on strings of player-found evidence.
While this feature won't make it for launch, we hope it surfaces early rather than later as anything at adds variety to an MMO is most welcomed.

Crazy funny raptor capion picture saved : check.
All good Champions news, as ever ( I was already resigned to player housing not being in at launch ).

I really hope this non-combat system blossoms as well. While many MMOs have great combat, you can still get bored playing "whack a mole" ad infinitum.
