Issue 17 Closed Beta

Get your testing caps on, because Issue 17: Dark Mirror (including Ultra Mode!) goes into Closed Beta on March 2, 2010! This means the Training Room will be inaccessible unless you have been invited to test out the new issue. Eventually, testing will advance to Open Beta, which allows any player to poke at the shiny new stuff.

Free Server Transfers Extended Again!

Due to the success of the free Server Transfers the past two months, and the upcoming Double XP/reactivation weekend, they've pushed the end date back by a week. The new extension ends March 7, 2010 (midnight Pacific, 3am Eastern, 8am GMT).

If you thought you were going to have to carefully plan your last few transfers for the Double XP and Reactivation Weekend, they're making it a whole load easier for you!

Double XP and Re-activation Weekend Starting March 4th!

Get excited because one of your favorite times of the year is quickly approaching - Double XP Weekend! All the fun begins on March 4th!

What is a Double Experience Weekend? It's a three day stretch of time during which all participating Hero and Villain characters receive double the XP, Influence, and Infamy for their accomplishments in game. And if you pre-purchase Going Rogue, you'll be able to take advantage of all that Double XP has to offer while wielding the Dual Pistols power set!

But it doesn't end there. NCsoft is also having an Account Reactivation at the same time! This means that all inactive accounts in good standing will be re-activated free of charge and given access to City of Heroes and City of Villains® during Double XP weekend!

  • Start: Thursday, March 4th at 8:59am Pacific Time (11:59am Eastern Time)
  • End: Sunday, March 7th at 11:59pm Pacific (2:59am Eastern Time)

Issue 17 / Going Rogue

Issue 17 has been announced, titled Dark Mirror, with a current release date of April, 2010! Even better, Ultra Mode, previously slated for Going Rogue, has been completed early! That's right, in an article on MMORPG.com, Paragon Studios announced all kinds of goodies ready for release prior to Going Rogue!

Also, in that same article it was announced that pre-ordering Going Rogue will unlock Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning powersets before the official release! Additionally, the "Going Rogue Complete Edition" was announced, which is filled with exclusive goodies, like costume pieces, "stance" emotes, and "The Shadowy Presence" invisibility power. Beta will begin this Spring, with release currently slated for July.

Are you ready to Go Rogue?
