Exactly 6 years ago today Walt Disney acquired a small little gaming company called Playdom, which at the time was known for its online games like Sorority Life.
Eventually this paved the way for Marvel Avengers Alliance, a game that we all LOVE!
Then on this day, a few months after MAA’s launch we got our first scroll item for 64 gold. It was the Scroll of Melsalam, which is actually the only scroll that’s real name is part of the Marvel cannon. An apocryphal story floating around is that this scroll was so bad, that players renamed it the “Scroll of Salami”. Thus all future scrolls where Anagrams of meat! You decide?

New Weapon | Scroll of Melsalam is first introduced at 64 Gold (very first scroll!!) |
Two years later we got the 3rd Guardian of Galaxy character for 90 CP and on this same day the Facebook Group MAA Spartans was founded by Daniel Malroney.
Today was a great day in meta changing weapons! 3 years ago we got the Cosmic Cardinal. This was the first time we seen a “passive” weapon that the agent couldn’t access during his turn, but it would follow up attack like it had a life of its own. It is still seen even in todays Meta.
Group bosses have always been considered the “silver pinatas” of MAA. These cash cows were introduced into the game in Spec Ops 8 – Vision of the Future. Ultron appropriately was the first Group Boss. The last one we had was Zzzax from Spec ops 32 – Follow the leader which ended on 2/18/2016. That was over 5 months ago! Those of you complaining its been a long time since we had one are justifiably right, since this is now an all time record high (see timeline chart below).
Our speculation here at MAATIMES.com is that the next Spec Ops will most likely have a new Group Boss. Given also the rumor that Ronan will be the next Lockbox character, one can maybe assume this can be another Guardians of the Galaxy themed Spec Ops. Perhaps this will be a continuation of the story started in Spec Ops 35 – Black Vortex. We will most likely will not see the launch of Spec Ops 36 until the end of this month or maybe even until August. Also Playdom has not given us any hints on who the next group boss will be. We can only speculate on what we know. Based on what you know, who do you think it will be?
