"you cannot depend on your eyes, when your imagination is out of focus" - mark twain

The sequel to City of Heros ofcourse. I honestly didnt see that coming, and it's funny in my mind, but I dont know if it will be any good. Long-time City of Heroes players will be rewarded with beta testing slots for the new title. Players subscribed for at least six months will receive the next level of priority in consideration. City of Villains is slated for a 2005 release.

Good move or bad!?

Its just an expansion pack, not a sequel. Therefore, on part of the games players for the most part its a good move.

I know it's an expansion, like the "Council of War" expansion for COH. Simply using the words of [Jeffery  Adashek]

Leadership in a MMO is nothing more than a popularity contest.

Hate to rain on your parade but its not an expansion pack.It is going to a game seperate from CoH.Eventually the player gets to wreak havoc in Paragon City.

This is a seperate game entirely from CoH.Its NOT an expansion at all.More of a "evil" twin to CoH.

First line of the game info for City of Villains:

Presenting City of Villains, the first expansion of the comic-inspired massively multiplayer game, City of Heroes.

And as I said, one of the features is base vs. base combat, hero vs. villain wars, etc.

Dude how woul dit not be an expansion?

It is adding to the current state of CoH, from what i hear we can now craft......and if thats so, what? Villians only? very doubtful

and if it was a complete seperate game how come peopel from CoH get 1 char transfer to villian side?

also...PvP....seperate game would = no PvP...cause it would be its own.

 

So i guess someone be told....

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Well when it was first mentioned to the community way back at the release of CoH it was mooted as a seperate game. Its reasonable that anyone who followed CoH would think that was still the plan. Either way it will be a welcome breath of fresh air for the brand.

The enemy is so dumb! They believe that WE are the enemy! - A famous orc commander.

You can play CoV and never have buyed CoH, so it is another game.  If you buy DoN, you wont be able to play EQ no matter how hard you try, this is an expension.  You may download Issue 4, you wont be able to play without having a copy of CoH.  Lastly, if they would have include a free version of CoH with CoV someone could have argue, but they dont.

 

It share the same timeline, the same world and players from BOTH games can meet each other.  Also as long as you pay the monthly fee for 1 game and own both, you can play either at your own pleasure.  SoE call this a STATION PASS and prevent access from 1 world to another, more flexibility then SoE is always nice, especially with the free expensions.

OMGZ! Can I have ur phatz?

First of the Issues are not expansions, they are just huge updates.

Second, CoV WILL NOT be a seperate game, it is an expansion. CoV will include bases for Villains and Heros for SGvsVG (guild vs guild) combat/raids.

I believe it is an axpansion. Otherwise, you'll be able to play City of Villians entirely without the original in your system....which will not happen.

It'll be an expansion
