==== European Users Able to Buy U.S. Codes ====
We are currently maintaining [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] [[Special:Allpages|articles]]!<br>
 
;[[Rebirth Wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]]
According to reports on the official forums[http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=7807447#Post7807447], European users are now once again able to buy codes to access U.S. servers.

;[[Help:Contents|How to contribute]]
According to ThinIce on the official forums, the following message was received by support regarding the inability for players to order game and upgrade codes for servers outside of their region:
:▪&nbsp;[[:Category:Stubs|List of articles needing expansion]]
 
:▪&nbsp;[[:Category:Incomplete|List of incomplete articles]]
:"We apologise for the inconvenience, however if you cannot currently see the option to purchase a US serial code, this will be changed in a few days. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience." [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=7787216#Post7787216]
:▪&nbsp;[[:Category:Work in Progress|List of WIP articles]]
 
:▪&nbsp;[[Special:WantedPages|List of wanted pages]]
It now appears that the change to the stores was intended only to be a default, not to lock players into playing on certain servers.  More updates will be posted as received.

==== European Players Denied U.S. Server Access ====
;[[Rebirth_Wiki:Policy|Policy]]
 
;[[Rebirth_Wiki:Article Guidelines|Guidelines]]
'''Important Note:''' To clarify, ''existing'' European players are still able to access the U.S. Servers.  The following applies to ''new'' accounts and account upgrades only.
</div>
 
</div>
Players with European IP addresses are now unable to purchase game codes for playing on U.S. servers.[http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=7764218] As a result, all new purchases of City of Heroes, City of Villains, and premium account upgrade options from NCsoft within Europe are effectively denied for non-European server access.  This action was implemented without any advance warning, other than an announcement that the option to transfer accounts from U.S. servers to to European servers would be disabled[http://de.boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=740056#Post740056], with no warning that new accounts and premium account upgrades would be denied to European players.
<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>
 
</div>
The motives behind this decision are subject only to speculation, but a post in the official NCsoft forums offering to facilitate Europeans obtaining codes for playing on U.S. servers was deleted.  Since NCsoft doesn't wish for messages pertaining to such an offer to be posted on their site, I (TonyV) will echo it here:
 
:If anyone wants to get a U.S. code, drop me a PM or e-mail me at [mailto:[email protected] [email protected]] and we'll see if we can work out getting you one through PayPal or something. (But that's just a friendly offer; if I start getting hundreds of requests or people don't pay me back, I'll stop.)
 
If you wish to contact me via forum private message regarding this offer, please do so on the [http://paragonwiki.com/forums Paragon Forums] instead of NCsoft's forums, as I do wish to respect their decision not to have messages of such a subject posted or sent via their forums.
 
==== Valentine's Day Event Over ====
 
The [[Valentine's Day Event 2007]] officially ended at midnight last night (March 4, 2007).
 
=== February 13, 2007 ===
 
==== Valentine's Day Event Live! ====
 
The [[Valentine's Day Event 2007]] is now released on the live servers!  Among the perks in this event are:
 
* The rare ability for heroes and villains to work together to accomplish missions in Pocket D
* Several new badges, including badges from [[Valentine's Day Event 2006|last year's Valentine's event]] and badges normally available exclusively to a character's enemy's side
* A new "Heart" costume pattern
 
Be sure to check out the article for all the details about the event!

====Issue 9 info====
A confirmed list of content to appear in [[Issue 9]] has been released and added to the wiki. Anxiously awaiting it's drop to [[Training Room]]. {{smile}}
 
=== January 17, 2007 ===
==== Double XP Weekend Coming January 26-28 ====
[http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=7442701 Double Experience Weekend is Coming! Jan 26-28!]
: Gather your teams and get ready! Shape up your soloing prowess! Get those eager lackeys and sidekicks in line! It's time to clean up and cash in!
 
: Another Double Experience Weekend looms on the horizon! Mark '''January 26th to the 28th''' on your calendar because you won't want to miss it! All weekend long, experience, infamy/influence and prestige rewards will be doubled! It's time to level up!
: ''This does not include enhancement drops.''
 
===== MediaWiki Upgrade =====
An upgrade to the wiki *may* occur this weekend as well. However, everyone should be enjoying the double rewards too much to notice.

=== Wanted: Your Mad Writing Skillz (with a Z) ===
 
Want to contribute to the Paragon Wiki but don't know where to start?  One good place to start is by editing articles that are designated as [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Stub|Stub]] articles and [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Wip|Work in Progress]] articles.  These articles need anything from minor tweaks to major overhauls, and anything you have to add would be appreciated!
 
If you want to dive into writing some highly needed articles from scratch, check out the list of [[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted Pages]]. These are pages that are linked to from other pages but that have no articles associated with them. They are sorted by the number of links that point to them, so by filling in the articles towards the top of the list, you will be giving the most bang for your temporal buck.

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!
