Welcome to the City of Heroes / City of Villains Wiki
Welcome to City of Heroes and City of Villains, the online world that's home to an entire universe of heroes and villains, where you and thousands of other players take on the roles of super powered heroes and villains in a stunning, 3D graphical world.
This wiki is intended to be a central repository of all things that have to do with NCSoft's two MMORPG's, City of Heroes and City of Villains. This wiki is a community effort. If you cannot find the information you are searching for, please add it to the wiki for other users to see.
To find information, use the search box on the left, or feel free to browse the available categories.
This wiki is provided by the Paragon City Free Press, a fansite dedicated to the enjoyment of City of Heroes and City of Villains by providing more depth to the game.
Please see the Editing User's Guide for information about how to write and create articles for this wiki.
Recent Updates
- Yes, we do stay on top of everything! Within hours of the Valentine's Day Event 2006, Paragon Wiki had articles about the event itself and the two badges (Heart of Light for heroes and Heart of Darkness for villains)!
- Thanks to the dedicated efforts of StarGeek and Yakolev, there is a ton of new content about villain groups in the wiki. Check out the Enemies category for the list of enemies, expanding daily through the hard work of these users.
- I have created a discussion page for anyone who wants to to post comments, ideas, etc. to the wiki. If it starts getting too big, I might consider just setting up a real forum instead. Until then, I guess we'll see how just a discussion page works. I'll be adding some things that I'm really tossed up about on there soon.
- I owe StarGeek a HUGE thanks for updating a ton of powers icons that I had screwed up the category for. He corrected a whole bunch, and I've since gone in via SQL directly and updated the rest so that the category is now correct and browsable. Again, thank you!
- At long last! The article on Inspirations has been added. Special inspirations for the Winter Event 2005 are included, as are obsolete inspirations that have been retired from the game.

Valentine's Day Event 2006
Wow, a brand new unpublished event was sprung on us today! At midnight Eastern (for the east coast servers) and 9 pm Pacific (for the west coast servers), heroes and villains who logged in received a new costume part and an accolade! Read more about the event in the Valentine's Day Event 2006 article!

Paragon Wiki Forums Test
Test forums have been installed for the site to discuss anything you have on your mind, such as mistakes in articles, requests for articles, asking for help, and so on. Currently, the forums and the wiki use two different user databases, but before the forums are considered live, the databases will be integrated. We apologize for the inconvenience, but hey, that's what makes them test forums! If you'd like to participate in the test, register for an account and post away.
Also please note that as test forums, you should consider them purely beta, and though we'll be making periodic backups of the database for them (as part of my own administrative testing), you should keep copies of anything that you consider too important to be lost if the forum database eats itself on a whim. The default phpBB logos, colors, and icons have not been changed, but before the forums are considered live, there will definitely be some "aestheticization" of the site.
A New Domain Name
The domain name paragonwiki.com and its variants have been registered and redirected to this site. Since the Paragon City Free Press and the Paragon Wiki serve two conceptually different functions, serious consideration is being given to splitting them up. Before you panic, All current pointers will be retained, so all existing bookmarks, links, and such will still work fine. Mainly, the look of http://paragonwiki.com is better than http://www.pcfreepress.com/wiki, as it's much more readily apparent what it points to and it's much easier to remember. More information will be posted on this later.

Issue 7 Preview Released
The Issue 7 Preview has been released on the City of Heroes and City of Villains official sites. With a new zone, new mission types, an increase in the villain level cap, new power sets, and much, more, this looks like it will be an exciting new chapter in the CoH universe!

New Administrator
I've added another person as an administrator of the site, StarGeek. If you've seen the Recent Changes log lately, you'll know that his additions to the wiki have been invaluable, and spread across several areas such as enemy articles, powersets, error corrections, and more. With administrator privileges, he will now have even more access to change protected pages and perform user administration as well.
Thanks for your contributions, StarGeek, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next!
Server Outage
Well, not exactly. The DNS servers for this site went kaput sometime yesterday (Saturday) afternoon Eastern time, which had the same effect: For hours, the site was inaccessible. It was, unfortunately, completely beyond my control other than logging a couple of tickets with my web hosting provider to try to have the matter resolved. Sometime between around 11:00pm EST Saturday night and 5:30am EST this morning, the problem was resolved and normal service restored. I apologize for any inconvenience this caused, and hope that the service provider takes steps to keep from having such a long outage again.
