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

Celebrate the return of City of Heroes!

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!

-== Recent Updates ==
+We are currently maintaining [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] [[Special:Allpages|articles]]!<br>
+;[[Rebirth Wiki:Community Portal|Community Portal]]
-* Added a Warburg [[Missile Launch Mission]] article to describe the steps involved in completing this mission and receiving your Warburg temporary powers!
+:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki:Ourodev|Ourodev]]
-* Confused about how coordates work in City of Heroes and City of Villains?  Check out the new article that details the [[coordinates|coordinate system]]!
+:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki:Portal Corps|Portal Corps]]
-* The site has recently changed hosting providers.  This process should be rather transparent, as everything works as it did before.  There is one change, however: the site URL has now changed to http://paragonwiki.com.  The old site (<nowiki>http://www.pcfreepress.com/wiki</nowiki>) is redirecting to the new site, so all old links will still work, but please use the new URL going forward.
+:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki:CoX Community Sites|CoX Community]]
-* Yes, we do stay on top of everything!  Within hours of the [[Valentine's Day Event 2006]], Paragon Wiki had articles about the event itself and the two badges ([[Heart of Light Badge|Heart of Light]] for heroes and [[Heart of Darkness Badge|Heart of Darkness]] for villains)!
+:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki: Other Servers|Other Servers]]
-* Thanks to the dedicated efforts of [[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] and [[User:Yakovlev|Yakovlev]], there is a ton of new content about villain groups in the wiki.  Check out the [[:Category:Enemies|Enemies category]] for the list of enemies, expanding daily through the hard work of these users.
+:▪&nbsp;[[:Rebirth Wiki: Tools|Tools]]
-* I have created a [[Paragon Wiki:Main Discussion|discussion page]] for anyone who wants to to post comments, ideas, etc. to the wiki.  If it starts getting too big, I might consider just setting up a real forum instead.  Until then, I guess we'll see how just a discussion page works.  I'll be adding some things that I'm really tossed up about on there soon.
+;[[Help:Contents|How to contribute]]
-* I owe [[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] a HUGE thanks for updating a ton of [[:Category:Powers icons|powers icons]] that I had screwed up the category for.  He corrected a whole bunch, and I've since gone in via SQL directly and updated the rest so that the category is now correct and browsable.  Again, thank you!
+:▪&nbsp;[[:Category:Stubs|List of articles needing expansion]]
-* 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.

-Wow, a brand new unpublished event was sprung on us today!  At midnight Eastern (for the east coast servers) and 9 pm Pacific (for the west coast servers), heroes and villains who logged in received a new costume part and an accolade!  Read more about the event in the [[Valentine's Day Event 2006]] article!

-==== Paragon Wiki Forums Test ====
+</div>
-[http://www.pcfreepress.com/forums Test forums] have been installed for the site to discuss anything you have on your mind, such as mistakes in articles, requests for articles, asking for help, and so on.  Currently, the forums and the wiki use two different user databases, but before the forums are considered live, the databases will be integrated.  We apologize for the inconvenience, but hey, that's what makes them ''test'' forums!  If you'd like to participate in the test, [http://www.pcfreepress.com/forums/profile.php?mode=register register for an account] and post away.
-Also please note that as test forums, you should consider them purely beta, and though we'll be making periodic backups of the database for them (as part of my own administrative testing), you should keep copies of anything that you consider too important to be lost if the forum database eats itself on a whim.  The default phpBB logos, colors, and icons have not been changed, but before the forums are considered live, there will definitely be some "aestheticization" of the site.
-==== A New Domain Name ====
-The domain name '''paragonwiki.com''' and its variants have been registered and redirected to this site.  Since the Paragon City Free Press and the Paragon Wiki serve two conceptually different functions, serious consideration is being given to splitting them up.  Before you panic, All current pointers will be retained, so all existing bookmarks, links, and such will still work fine.  Mainly, the look of <nowiki>http://paragonwiki.com</nowiki> is better than <nowiki>http://www.pcfreepress.com/wiki</nowiki>, as it's much more readily apparent what it points to and it's much easier to remember.  More information will be posted on this later.
-=== January 31, 2006 ===
-==== Issue 7 Preview Released ====
-The [http://www.cityofheroes.com/game_update7.html Issue 7 Preview] has been released on the City of Heroes and City of Villains official sites.  With a new zone, new mission types, an increase in the villain level cap, new power sets, and much, more, this looks like it will be an exciting new chapter in the CoH universe!
-=== January 22, 2006 ===
-==== New Administrator ====
-I've added another person as an administrator of the site, [[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]].  If you've seen the [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] log lately, you'll know that his additions to the wiki have been invaluable, and spread across several areas such as enemy articles, powersets, error corrections, and more.  With administrator privileges, he will now have even more access to change protected pages and perform user administration as well.
-Thanks for your contributions, StarGeek, and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next!
-==== Server Outage ====
-Well, not exactly.  The DNS servers for this site went kaput sometime yesterday (Saturday) afternoon Eastern time, which had the same effect:  For hours, the site was inaccessible.  It was, unfortunately, completely beyond my control other than logging a couple of tickets with my web hosting provider to try to have the matter resolved.  Sometime between around 11:00pm EST Saturday night and 5:30am EST this morning, the problem was resolved and normal service restored.  I apologize for any inconvenience this caused, and hope that the service provider takes steps to keep from having such a long outage again.
