Welcome, City of Heroes/Villains Mentor Project

Greetings heroes, vigilantes, rogues, villains, and Praetorians,

It is with great pleasure that we announce the formation of a special partnership between those of us here at Paragon Wiki and the members of the Mentor Project.

Both groups of players have similar goals at heart: to assist and help guide other players, and to provide them with readily available information when and where they need it.

The Mentor Project began earlier this year as an offshoot of an event welcoming new players to the game. Although a relatively new undertaking, it has already demonstrated its use in providing in-game assistance and personal tutoring for new or returning players on all servers.

Given that the Mentor Project caters to a demographic that Paragon Wiki can also assist, we have begun some collaborative work and the Mentor Project will now offer some much needed maintenance and support for The Players' Guide to the Cities.

As we welcome the Mentor Project on board, we would also like to take this opportunity to thank each and every player who volunteers his or her time to improve other players' experience within the City of Heroes franchise. Whether they do so by providing advice on teams or in global chat channels, or by updating and editing information in articles here at Paragon Wiki, our gaming community is a much more friendly place thanks to their efforts, and for that we are all very grateful. Keep up the good work.


"Soft Launch" for Going Rogue

Going Rogue/Issue 18 has been implemented on the live servers as of Monday, August 16, 2010. This "soft launch" allows those who pre-purchased Going Rogue through NCsoft a full day of access to the Praetorian content before anyone else![1]

Going Rogue™ Release on Tuesday!

Going Rogue is scheduled for release on Tuesday, August 17th, 2010! Get your gaming fingers ready, and don't forget to check out all the changes and additions:

...and much, much more!

Free Server Transfers

Once again, Paragon Studios is offering free Server Transfers from Tuesday, August 17 to Monday, August 23[2] -- and this time, there will be higher limits (six per day until after the Thursday, August 19 maintenance, when it will be increased to twenty per day[3]). So get transferring! (Official announcement)


Going Rogue™ Release Date Announced

NCsoft and Paragon Studios announced today that players will have the opportunity to walk the line between good and evil (or cross it), on August 17, 2010 with the release of City of Heroes Going Rogue™. City of Heroes Going Rogue is the second paid expansion in the City of Heroes® franchise. For the first time in any super-powered MMORPG, the moral choices players make will affect their characters' game play experiences. Heroes can fall from grace to become Villains, while Villains can redeem themselves to become Heroes. In addition, players can now access the alternate universe of Praetoria where they can enjoy new missions, zones, costume sets, fight new villain groups, and play with new power sets including Demon Summoning, Dual Pistols, Electric Control, and Kinetic Melee.

"I was proud when we launched City of Heroes® back in 2004 and even prouder when we unveiled the City of Villains® expansion in 2005, but Going Rogue is by far the best work that this team has ever done. Paragon Studios has distinguished itself as a premier studio committed to excellence with every issue and we've raised the bar on this expansion. I'm so honored to be a part of this team and I believe that our players will be absolutely amazed when they see what we've done." - Melissa Bianco, Lead Designer of City of Heroes.

City of Heroes Going Rogue will be available as an expansion-only, or as part of the City of Heroes Going Rogue Complete Collection, which includes both City of Heroes® and City of Villains®. Both versions of City of Heroes Going Rogue will be available from the NCsoft store.

Trade Barriers Being Lifted in Going Rogue

More features of Going Rogue are coming to light as beta testing progresses and the release date draws nearer. War Witch announced today that a few key improvements are being made "in order to make the alignment switching system the most fun and rewarding experience possible."

  • Heroes and Villains will be able to trade and gift each other in Co-Op zones (except in PvP zones).
  • Players will be able to Global Email inf and most items to their characters regardless of alignment.
  • The Auction House markets for Heroes and Villains will be merged.

The original announcement and discussion on the topic can be viewed on the Official Forums, here.
