2009 Winter Event
The 2009 Winter Event has reached Paragon City and the Rogue Isles and there is much rejoicing to be had again this year! But don't fall into the trap and keep your senses alert as a new menace is also looming in the horizon threatening to bring the holidays to an abrupt end! Will you be able to defeat Lord Winter before he succeeds?
This year's Winter Event goodies include a new "throw snowflakes" emote and a character respec (both bought by candy cane salvage), and two new holiday badges--Festive and Lord of Winter/Lady of Winter! All the temporary powers, badges, and fuzzy earmuffs from last year are also back, bringing nostalgic cheer. Along with streets and rooftops loaded with Father Time's gifts, you'll still encounter snow beasts and Winter Lords, Father Time's mission, ski challenges, candy canes, and more in this fun-filled feast of holiday festiveness!

Free Character Server Transfers for the Holidays!
City of Heroes is proud to announce that starting today character transfers between servers (within North American OR European server lists) will become free to all players and remain that way through the end of January 2010.
- Starts: Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 8:59 a.m. PST (11:59 a.m. EST / 4:59 p.m. GMT / 17:59 Central European Time)
- Ends: Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 11:59 p.m. PST (2:59 a.m. EST / 11:59 p.m. GMT / 00:59 Central European Time)
Now you will have more freedom to fully enjoy the game and each other...but don't go haphazardly jumping servers without knowing the Character Transfer limit and all the other facts. Visit the CoH Knowledge Base to learn all the specifics so that you can make educated transfer decisions. Amongst other things to bear in mind:
- Transfers are not available between North American and European servers.
- You will be able to complete up to 6 transfers a week (7-day period) per account.
- Not all possessions will transfer over with your character so be sure to read the corresponding Knowledge Base article before you decide to transfer a character.
- Super-group affiliation, Prestige and access to your Supergroup base items will be lost.
- You may lose your character's name when transferring from a server.
Then all you have to do is transfer away and enjoy the holiday server ride!
