Paragon City

Map of Paragon City

The zones within Paragon City are separated by War Walls. Most zones can be reached on foot, but there are more efficient (and typically safer) methods for traveling from zone to zone.

Monorail System

The monorail is the best way to move between zones in Paragon City. If it doesn’t go to the exact zone you want to be in, it definitely goes somewhere close.

Each monorail station has a departure area, in the front of the station, and an arrival area, with an exit leading to the side of the station. From the departure area (the front room of the monorail station, at the top of the ramp) you can board the monorail by simply clicking on the gate area (it doesn’t matter whether a car is visible or not).

There is one monorail line operating in Paragon City. The line passes through each of the following zones:

Ferry System

The ferry system is used to get citizens of Paragon City out to the islands that lie just off the coast. The ferry system can be used to access Peregrine Island, which is home to Portal Corporation. To board the ferry, simply hop on and enter the ferry.

In addition, there is a hero-smuggling operation that will take characters to Striga Isle, an island haven for criminals that is dominated by the Council. To board, click on the door that leads inside the cargo ship.

Helicopters

Helicopters provide transportation to heroes between the following zones:

Portals

Some zones are only reachable through the use of portal technology. The following zones are connected by portals:

Ouroboros is also reachable by portal, but the portal may only be summoned by a hero who has been entrusted with the secret.

Submarine

Vigilantes and Rogues may travel between Independence Port and Sharkhead Isle via submarine.

Rogue Isles

Map of The Rogue Isles

The area collective known as the "Rogue Isles" is spread out across many, many islands. Within the Rogue Isles are individual islands such as Mercy Island, Port Oakes, etc. This is where villains spend the majority of their time honing their skills.

Ferry System

The ferry is the primary means of venturing to the various islands scattered throughout the Rogue Isles. Simply approach a ferry and run aboard; there you'll be presented with a menu providing options of where you can journey to next. Every ferry in the Rogue Isles can take you to any island.

Helicopters and Arachnos Flyers

In addition to ferries, you'll gain access to helicopters and flyers so that you may more easily fly the unfriendly skies. Like ferries, the black helicopters can take you to any island in the Rogue Isles.

Portals

Some areas connected to the Rogue Isles are reachable only through portal technology. Portals are used to connect the following areas:

Ouroboros is also reachable by portal, but the portal may only be summoned by a villain who has been entrusted with the secret.

Submarine

Shared Zones

Some zones are accessible by both villains and heroes. These zones may be classified as player vs. player zones, or cooperative zones.

Two restrictions apply in all shared zones:

  1. Players may not examine the powers list or even the power set selections of members of the opposite faction.
  2. Players may not gift or trade items or Influence/Infamy to members of the opposite faction.

PvP Zones

In player vs. player zones, it is possible to target and attack other player characters in the zone. Zones that fall into the player vs. player category are:

Cooperative Zones

In cooperative zones, players may team with both heroes and villains to battle their mutual foes. A player cannot be invited into a mixed team or into a team made up entirely of the opposite faction unless both the player and the entire team are in co-op zones. Any player belonging to a mixed team is automatically removed from the team if he enters a non-co-op zone. Mixed teams do not need to remain entirely within one single zone -- they can be built across, or spread into, multiple zones as long as all zones involved are co-op ones.

Zones that fall into the cooperative category are:
