We are currently maintaining [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] [[Special:Allpages|articles]]!<br>
 
;[[Rebirth Wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]]
* At long last!  The article on [[Inspirations]] has been added.  Special inspirations for the [[Winter Event 2005]] are included, as are [[Inspirations#Obselete Inspirations|obsolete inspirations]] that have been retired from the game.
:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki:Ourodev|Ourodev]]
* Most of the the [[CoH Achievement Badges|City of Heroes achievement badges]] that I can personally verify have been added.  If you personally know of more (and I know there are several more), please add them!
:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki:Portal Corps|Portal Corps]]
* The two event badges and the temporary power mentioned in the top news item below have been added.
:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki:CoX Community Sites|CoX Community]]
* ClydeJr has written an article about [[Vivacious Verandi]], a contact in St. Martial.  Great job!
:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki: Other Servers|Other Servers]]
* A work-in-progress article about [[Bounty]] has been added to document what you can get in Siren's Call for defeating enemies.
:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki: Tools|Tools]]
* A new format for powerset documentation has been developed, as seen in the [[Energy Melee]] article.  Compare this with the format used for powersets such as [[Dark Armor]], and it has a ''lot'' more information.  The powersets will take a long time to document, so any help would be appreciated!

First of all, I apologize for a mistake I made when I moved the site over to a different server.  In the process, I forgot to set up the email forwarder which forwards e-mail to [mailto:[email protected] [email protected]] to the web mail client I use.  The end result is that any e-mail that has been sent to me in the past couple of weeks was sent out to the Shadow Shard somewhere, never to be seen again.  I apologize profusely if you sent me something and I did not respond.  Please send it again, and I assure you that it will be read by me now.

==== Happy New Year! ====

</div>
That said, I hope that everyone is having a wonderful 2006 so far.  The [[Winter Event 2005]] was a raving success in Paragon City, and most heroes (and villains!) seem to still be thoroughly enjoying their rocket packs.  Don't forget, they only last for thirty days from the time you got them, not from the end of the event!

<div id="editcopylink"><span>Changes for the main page are proposed [[Main Page/editcopy|here]], and the featured article can be changed [[Template:Main Page/featured|here]].</span></div>
==== Game of the Year ====
</div>
 
How did NCsoft start off the new year?  How about by winning [http://www.mmorpg.com/showFeature.cfm/loadFeature/368/page/5/from/ Game of the Year] from MMORPG.com!  Congratulations and kudos to the developers, and it's a great way to start what I am certain will be another fantastic year of fighting crime—or causing it—in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.  I promise that Paragon Wiki will continue to follow all changes and updates and become even bigger and better with tons of new information during the year!
 
=== December 15, 2005 ===
 
==== Winter Events Continue! ====
 
Last week, we got a new toy and a badge.  Today begins Lord Recluse's Operation Scrooge and Miss Liberty's Operation Holiday Cheer to counter his nefarious plans.  Along with the festivities comes another accolade and a special new look for the heroes and villains of Paragon City and the Rogue Isles!  See all of the updates in the [[Winter Event 2005]] article.

==== Winter Event 2005 ====
 
[[Image:Winter_2005.png|180px|thumb|Naughty or Nice?]]The Winter Events of 2005 have begun!  Beginning today, all characters logging in will receive the [[Longbow Reservist Badge]] (if the character is a hero) or the [[Jet-Setter Badge]] (if the character is a villain).  In addition, all heroes and villains will receive the [[Temporary Powers#Holiday Rocket Pack|Holiday Rocket Pack]] as a whopping ''30-day'' temporary power!  See [http://www.cityofheroes.com/news/fc_radio_address.html Miss Liberty's Radio Address] and [http://www.cityofvillains.com/news/blackscorpionholiday.html Black Scorpion's Memo] for the announcement.

==== New Admin: Arkenor ====
 
First of all, I'd like to welcome [[User:Arkenor|Arkenor]] aboard as the first site co-admin.  He's been an invaluable member of the wiki, having contributed and edited several articles, and even catching a couple of vandalism attempts.
 
==== Maintenance Monday: 2:00am EST ====
 
This Monday, November 28, I am going to run some routine maintenance on the ''Paragon City Free Press'' site, including the wiki, beginning at 2:00am EST (7:00am GMT).  During this time I will be backing everything up, shuffling a bunch of stuff around, and optimizing the databases.  I hope to be done by 6:00am EST (11:00am GMT).  Hopefully, it won't take that long, but I can't swear that it won't take a little longer.
 
During the outage, the site will be redirected to an "Under Maintenance" page.

Welcome to the official Rebirth Rebirth Wiki, the comprehensive reference written and maintained by the players.

Celebrate the return of City of Heroes!

Mecha beam rifle.png

City of Heroes is back and it showed us one important thing.

Seems not everything is remembered with rose tinted glasses, older games can be just as fun if not better than what you actually remembered. Value those memories but also relish the fact that you can finally, not only relive those memories; but also create new ones with your friends and loved ones in City of Heroes. The game lives today thanks to the brave leakers and self-less coders who worked day and night (for free) to bring you the possibilities you have at hand today. Don't let their efforts go to waste, what are you waiting for? Hop on your favorite AT and start playing today!
