Overview

Issue 18, untitled, will be a major revision to City of Heroes and City of Villains, which will accompany the Going Rogue expansion.

Confirmed Content

In an announcement by War Witch, the following items were announced[1], and an FAQ was posted[2].

  • Heroes and villains will be able to trade and gift each other in Co-Op zones. This specifically excludes PvP Zones.
  • Players can Global Email (GleeMail) INF and most items to their characters regardless of alignment (some restrictions apply)
  • The Consignment House will be merged, allowing all characters to trade freely between each other on the markets. Naturally, a character is still restricted to their faction's market (i.e. Wentworths for heroes and Black Market for villains). When the merge occurs, all bids and unsold items will be returned to the player to be reclaimed.
  • Influence and infamy will be renamed INF on character ID cards.

Note that it hasn't been specifically noted that these are an Issue 18 change and not a Going Rogue change, but it doesn't make sense for the developers to create a function to allow only players with Going Rogue to trade freely between factions; thus, it is assumed to be an update to the core game outside of the expansion.

There is no other confirmed content yet. It is even possible that for those who do not purchase Going Rogue, there will be no new content at all. However, it is likely that any universal changes made to the game, such as an update to the Graphic User Interface, will be available to all players, even those who don't purchase Going Rogue.

It is presumed that this issue will be similar to Issue 6: Along Came a Spider, which was released to coincide with the boxed, commercial expansion, City of Villains. Those who did not buy the box had access to new PvP zones and gladiators.

The developers at PAX East have confirmed that the Issue after Going Rogue is Issue 19. And the Issue before Going Rogue is Issue 17. This means that there must be an Issue 18 that will accompany Going Rogue.

Notes

Release date will be concurrent with Going Rogue, on August 17, 2010.
