City of Heroes: One World, One World List


City of Heroes is the original-man’s super hero MMO. Since the game’s release in 2004, City of Heroes has seen the addition of two expansion packs and nineteen “issues,” with numerous content updates in between. But that’s enough pushing the game up with information we all know, on to the juicy meat center of this article:

In a recent move, NCsoft announced that they are combining the North American and European services, to create one conglomerate of players under one service. The announcement can be found here, and details what effects this will have on players. NCsoft states that this move will allow better interaction with players on both continents, as well as improving gameplay for many (as both services will use the same live and beta builds), as well as decreasing the need for players who have both European and North American accounts.

This will offer all players 15 servers to choose from, eleven located in North America and four in Europe.

City of Heroes/Villains/Rogues Says Welcome Back, Weekend!


Not this weekend.

City of Heroes may be six years old, but NCsoft is still committed to keeping the old super geezer alive. Last month saw the release of the latest full expansion pack, Going Rogue, allowing both heroes and villains alike to grey in the lines between heroism and villainy. This past April brought in Ultra Mode, the brand new higher graphics settings, and numerous other free updates.

Paragon Studios wants you to enjoy City of Heroes for all of its splendor, with a welcome back weekend, and not only do they want you to enjoy Paragon’s new ultra mode, but the team is opening up Going Rogue for the weekend. As stated on the website, Going Rogue content is only accessible up until level 14, and your powersets will become unavailable after the weekend is over if you don’t own the expansion.

The welcome back weekend begins Thursday, October 7th, and continues until Sunday, October 10th at midnight Pacific time.

Keep Fighting the Good Fight

With Champions Online and DC Universe taking up most of the superhero limelight, we tend to forget that City of Heroes is still in the room. City of Heroes is getting along in its life, and despite having just celebrated its fifth birthday this year, the train keeps rolling. City of Heroes remains one of NCSoft’s more popular titles.

The developers over at Paragon have been working tirelessly this year to keep City of Heroes up to date and relevant. Aside from improvements to the customization of your superhero, Paragon announced Going Rogue, an upcoming expansion pack for the title. Set in a Utopian alternate universe to Praetoria, Going Rogue will introduce a new system that dives into the shades of gray in between the Hero and Villain. This expansion will allow heroes to become villains, villains to heroes, allowing each side to experience the opposing side’s cities without having to reroll a character.

More on Going Rogue as it appears. If you attend this year’s Hero Con, you can receive beta keys to the expansion.
