In conjunction with the release of Issue 8: To Protect and Serve, NCsoft and Cryptic Studios are pleased to announce the launch of the official City of Heroes® Veteran Rewards program. This program rewards our fans for their time spent supporting and playing City of Heroes and City of Villains®.
There are many frightening and dangerous entities in our world. Some are relatively mundane, such as gang members with super powers, or the clunky clockwork robots of the Clockwork King, while others aspire to grandiose villainy and arch-plans, such as the criminals of the Rogue Isles. But there are some threats that outstrip almost all others, and cause even the greatest heroes (and villains, too, I suppose), pause. The Federal Bureau of Super-powered Affairs calls them “Threats” officially (although they seem to classify everything as a Threat) but they are more commonly referred to among agents by the informal phrase, “Giant Monsters.”

We are pleased to announce the City of Heroes Good Versus Evil Edition. In 2004, City of Heroes was launched, bringing the world of comic books alive in the first massively multiplayer game of its kind. In 2005 City of Villains was released, representing the other side of the coin, a world of super-powered villains and costumed criminals. Both games won numerous awards and received critical acclaim.
To help celebrate CuppaJo's last day on City of Heroes and City of Villains, and her promotion to the Tabula Rasa Community Manager position, numerous players and fans put together some great pieces of art in appreciation for all the hard work CuppaJo has put into the City of... community.
Issue 8: To Protect and Serve, the eighth free expansion since the launch of City of Heroes® in April 2004, introduces a host of innovative features, gameplay improvements and player programs. Issue 7: Destiny Manifest allowed villains to wreak havoc in the PvP zone Recluse's Victory and physics-filled Mayhem Missions. Now it's the Heroes' turn to take back the streets!
