City of Heroes logoCity of Heroes was an enormous part of my life for eight and a half years, and my favorite pass-time ever. I played from the week it launched publicly in 2004 until it was shut down in 2012. I was devastated by the game’s sunset, and felt like I was losing part of my family. Though the servers fell silent, I maintain this page as a monument to my love of and dedication to the game. (Homecoming images/info will be added soon!(TM).)

Calendar ThumbnailI’m not much for holidays, but I always celebrated Double XP Weekends. I did everything in my power to ensure I had the appropriate days off work so I could spend 3-4 days in-game, 18 hours at a time. At some point I started tracking the dates of these weekends, which then turned into tracking all updates and releases. Click the image to open a PDF; you’ll need to zoom in to read anything.


 

 

I really enjoyed playing the endgame “Incarnate Content”, and the epic teamwork it generally required. I collected the following guides for the Incarnate Trials, some created by the development team, others made by players, and I even helped create a couple of the guides.

Keyes Island Reactor

Underground

TPN (Total Praetoria Network)
