__NOTOC__ <!-- This removes the table of contents -->

It now appears that the change to the stores was intended only to be a default, not to lock players into playing on certain servers.  More updates will be posted as received.

==== European Players Denied U.S. Server Access ====
+
 
+
'''Important Note:''' To clarify, ''existing'' European players are still able to access the U.S. Servers.  The following applies to ''new'' accounts and account upgrades only.
+
 
+
Players with European IP addresses are now unable to purchase game codes for playing on U.S. servers.[http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=7764218]  As a result, all new purchases of City of Heroes, City of Villains, and premium account upgrade options from NCsoft within Europe are effectively denied for non-European server access.  This action was implemented without any advance warning, other than an announcement that the option to transfer accounts from U.S. servers to to European servers would be disabled[http://de.boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=740056#Post740056], with no warning that new accounts and premium account upgrades would be denied to European players.
+
 
+
The motives behind this decision are subject only to speculation, but a post in the official NCsoft forums offering to facilitate Europeans obtaining codes for playing on U.S. servers was deleted.  Since NCsoft doesn't wish for messages pertaining to such an offer to be posted on their site, I (TonyV) will echo it here:
+
 
+
:If anyone wants to get a U.S. code, drop me a PM or e-mail me at [mailto:tonyv@pcfreepress.com tonyv@pcfreepress.com] and we'll see if we can work out getting you one through PayPal or something. (But that's just a friendly offer; if I start getting hundreds of requests or people don't pay me back, I'll stop.)
+
 
+
If you wish to contact me via forum private message regarding this offer, please do so on the [http://paragonwiki.com/forums Paragon Forums] instead of NCsoft's forums, as I do wish to respect their decision not to have messages of such a subject posted or sent via their forums.

* Several new badges, including badges from [[Valentine's Day Event 2006|last year's Valentine's event]] and badges normally available exclusively to a character's enemy's side

Welcome

Freedom logo.png

Welcome to the Paragon Wiki Archive, a central repository of all things related to NCsoft's City of Heroes, the world's most popular superhero-themed MMORPG; covering from launch on April 28, 2004, to the final sunset on November 30, 2012, and even beyond. It is a community effort, created and maintained by more than two thousand volunteers since 2005.

City of Heroes was home to an entire multiverse of superpowered beings in a stunning, 3D graphical world. Hundreds of thousands of players took on the roles of heroes, villains, vigilantes, and rogues, while both saving and destroying worlds. City of Heroes was known for its groundbreaking level of customization, its highly community-focused features, and its abundant developer-player interaction and feedback.

EdLetter.png Editor's Note:

If you're looking for information about content on Homecoming, or any other independent servers, you won't find it in Paragon Wiki. Our current policy is to keep Paragon Wiki as a historical reference to the official game as it was at shutdown, up to and including information about Issue 24 beta. If you want to make contributions to the Homecoming Wiki, go to https://forums.homecomingservers.com/. If you have questions about this, please reference this discussion thread on the forums. Thanks.

Contributing to the Wiki

City of Heroes may be closed, but the Paragon Wiki is not. We welcome any content you're able to add, fill in, or revise!

Getting familiar with Paragon Wiki's Article Guidelines and the Help pages prior to contributing makes a big difference in helping a new editor get settled. A lot of wiki syntax assistance can be found in the Help pages.

Don't know where to start? A good place to begin is by editing articles that are designated as stubs, incomplete, or works in progress. These articles need anything from minor tweaks to major overhauls, and anything you have to add would be appreciated! Once you're comfortable, you can take a look at the Wanted Pages, a list of linked-to articles that don't yet exist.
