1.0 INTRODUCTION
________________
Welcome to Paragon City! Below is a guide to help you get around the various
zones in the Birthplace of Tomorrow, a list of special places to see and a
bit of a look at the unsavoury characters who may cross your path in your
travels.
This is not an all-inclusive guide and certainly hasn't been written to 'ruin'
people's experiences of discovering Paragon City for themselves. Instead, this
should be seen as merely an aid to the hero seeking to orientate himself in
the big City and assist in combating crime.
1.1 FAIR USE AND EMAIL POLICY
_____________________________
As collator and creator of this guide, I have no problems with its use and
distribution provided that 1) it is distributed in an unaltered state and 2)
that access to it is free (ie you do not need to pay an access fee of any type
to purchase use of this guide). If you wish to alter this guide and / or
charge for it's use, permission must first be sought from the creator
(ie me ;-).
If you wish to email me, PLEASE put something in the subject line about City
of Heroes. I tend to delete emails with no subject line on the grounds that
it is spam. Also, all submissions will be credited to their contributors, so
if you send me info that gets included in this guide you will have your name
credited in the Contributors section (5.2), along with some general
recognition of the type of information you provided. Please include a name
(any name or nic) for me to use as I dislike putting contributor email
addresses in guides.
1.2 UPDATE NOTES
________________
-More thorought notes on guide changes can be seen in section 5.3 (VERSION
NOTES). Below is just a quick guide to any major guide changes / info -
*Guide release notes: Launch is April 28 2004, but those with pre-order disks
got in on April 25. This guide (to this point) was predominantly written
during beta, so some information may no longer be valid. Please be patient
when playing and don't take this guide as gospel!
* Update 23 June 2004: As far as I can tell, most of the information in this
guide is still pretty valid. Some of the early zones have a few more villain
groups to fight (eg Vahzilok) but other than that, things are still mostly
accurate. How Update 1 (Through the Looking Glass) will change that I have
no idea.
* Update 14 September 2004: Issue 2 is due out shortly, which will introduce
a number of new zones and features. I'll add these in as I manage to explore
them.
* Update 11 October 2004: Have added in a little bit of the changes made by
Issue 2, but what has absorbed my time is confirming the location of badges.
I have included badge information in the relevant zones / neighbourhoods after
confirming their /loc. The badge list I am using comes from:
http://www.unseen.net/coh/badges.php
and a big thanks to Lopt to letting me use it in this guide.
1.3 PLEASE READ: I'M ABANDONING THIS GUIDE...
_____________________________________________
With some sadness I've accepted the fact that I am unable to keep up with the
updates required to keep this guide current. "Issue #6: Along Came a Spider"
has come out and I'm still lacking info from Issue #2!
As such, I'm abandoning this guide. It was fun while it lasted (it started in
beta and continued for about 18 months) but I'd rather abandon the guide
than keep to the current haphazard schedule of updating.
Instead, I recommend that all those looking for information on where to go in
Paragon City to head to
http://www.vidiotmaps.com
to find out the important features of all zones. Even better, download their
map patch which will let you see the revised maps in-game (although this may be
against a strict interpretation of CoH's terms of service, Cryptic / NCSoft
haven't imposed any sanctions against users of the map patch at this point).
I hope people have found some use for this guide, even in its incomplete state.
It was a great thrill for me that, in the early days just after CoH's release,
that Gamefaqs.com had the CoH guide page in its top ten (it went as low as #4,
I think) and that this Tourist Guide was one of only two guides available for
this great game.
Anyway, thanks all - if you wish to say hi, I'm UnSub on the Virtue server.

2.0 PARAGON CITY ZONES
______________________
All heroes have access to a map (default key 'm' or at the top of the ui)
they can look at to find out where they or their team mates are. Apart from
the zone they start in, these maps will not have their suburbs named. You
can see the suburb perimeters on the map as the coloured lines around the
edges of certain areas - these colours give some small indication of how hard-
core the criminals of that area are. Green areas are the easiest, yellow are
medium and red are the toughest suburb in each zone.
As you run around each zone, you will see that you leave behind an unshadowed
trail on the map. Once you have travelled enough through a suburb, the name
of the suburb will appear on the map for future reference.
The location guide will list a suburb name (eg 'Downside') and its location on
the zone map (eg 'South'). Some estimation has been used here - some zones
stretch in several directions or are small and closely packed - but
hopefully this info will be enough to get you around (at least until you
uncover enough of the map yourself).
You can travel between zones either through use of the Monotram System or by
moving through the zone gates. If you use the Monotram, you will be given a
list of zones that the line (either Green or Yellow) runs through - from this
list you can select your destination. If you use the gates, be aware there are
two types - the green gates (you can freely pass through these no matter what
level you are) and the secured gates (that require a hero have a minimum
security level before entry).
Within each zone a list of villain groups and their approximate strength
(ie Lvls) can be found. These should be used as only guidelines rather than
absolute rules - you may find villains of higher or lower Lvls than indicated
or find a location crawling with a particular villain group one day only to
find it deserted the next.
* Location Information: In order to find out your zone coordinates, use the
"/loc" command. This will give you three numbers: the Y (North / South), the
Z (height above / below ) and the X (East / West). This information can be
used to pinpoint the location of badges and shops all over Paragon City.
2.1 ATLAS PARK
______________
Atlas Park is probably the most well-known location of Paragon City and one
of two areas where heroes will start in the city after being dropped off by
the out-of-town bus. With a skyline dominated by a huge statue of Atlas, this

2.3 KINGS ROW
_____________
Kings Row will come as a shock to the hero coming out of Galaxy City or
Atlas Park - gone are the green grasses and clean buildings of these

themselves away in alleys and abandoned lots.

2.5 SKYWAY CITY
_______________
A mass of concrete pillars greets the earth-bound hero on arrival in Skyway
City - those that can fly will have a much easier time getting around this
zone. For those heroes on foot, prepare to race along side cars on the many
motorways that dominate Skyway City's landscape. Although ordinary citizens

2.6 PEREZ PARK
______________

Once a beautiful place to spend a day at a picnic, Perez Park is now infested

this park. Even heroes need to think twice before venturing into these woods -

2.7 THE HOLLOWS
_______________
The beautiful zone of Eastgate was changed into the desolation of The

2.8 THE TUNNELS OF THE TROLLS
_____________________________
The tunnels that ran under Eastgate had probably existed for hundreds of years,
but the explosions that destroyed Eastgate and created the Hollows have made
access to this area much easier. As a result, this zone is flooded with Trolls
who are further attempting to "redevelop" what is left of Eastgate with high
explosives.
NOTE: This zone has no neighbourhoods.
- Lvl 13 - 15 Trolls can be found throughout the Tunnels, often with bombs
and explosives. Destroying their bombs can save a hero a bit of effort in
Troll-fighting...

around magical crystals.
- The occasional Lvl 14 Outcast can be found here being beaten up by Trolls.
* BADGE INFORMATION:

for the Regenerator badge.
2.9 TALOS ISLAND
________________
Talos Island is a zone with only a little inhabited land - the majority of
this zone consists of open water. While this can make for some impressive
sunsets, it also means that non-flying heroes might find themselves getting
a bit wet if they attempt to travel to the unpopulated northern islands. Talos
Island itself is a busy (and crime-filled) area - the Tsoo, Freakshow and
Warriors can be seen battling it out on the streets for dominance. The natural
areas are not much safer - Devoured Earth creatures can commonly be found
outside of the civilised neighbourhoods.

2.10 SEWER SYSTEM
_________________
Several Paragon City zones have a sewer access port where heroes can enter
the Paragon Sewer System. Numerous criminal elements have taken to the
underground to hide from justice, meaning that any hero who ventures down
here must be ready for almost anything and probably shouldn't journey down
there alone.
You can enter the sewers from Atlas Park, Boomtown, Kings Row, Steel Canyon
and Skyway City. The Sewer System also allegedly contains links to the
Abandoned Sewer System, a much more dangerous place for heroes...
TRAINER: None

2.11 BOOMTOWN
_____________
[Minimum Security Level: 10]
For heroes used to the populated environment of Paragon City's other zones,
Boomtown will come as a shock - this zone is a scene of destruction. Debris
litters the streets and few buildings remain standing upright. Along with
this destruction has come an influx of villain groups, looking to use this
area for their own illicit purposes.
TRAINER: None
MAIN CRIMINAL ELEMENT: None. The zone is divided into regions for Trolls,

numbers

______________
[Minimum Security Level: 14]
Another decimated zone, Faultline makes Boomtown look positively inhabitable.
Large cracks scar the earth in Faultline, making travel difficult while also
providing shelter for numerous villains. This area was once known as
Overbrook until catestrophic earthquakes left it in the condition that it is
today.

(Gravedigger), Circle of Thorns mages (Soul Binder) or Clockwork Gears

2.13 INDEPENDENCE PORT
______________________
As a centre of trade and industry for Paragon City, Independence Port
attracts more than its fair share of criminals, looking for a piece of
the action. The Family are currently the dominant power, but given the
number of Tsoo and The Council in the area, any hero attempting to clean
up this area will certainly find their hands full. Independence Port also
contains the entrance to Terra Volta.

2.15 BRICKSTOWN
_______________
Brickstown is perhaps most infamously known for being home to the Ziggurat,
Paragon City's prison. The absence of heroes and lack of available police
resources has seen numerous convicts escape the Zig's confines and makes
travel through this area dangerous. Complicating factors are other criminal
groups that are also operating in this area, but hopefully the introduction
of private security forces from the Crey Corporation will soon have things
back under control.
TRAINER: Swan (located in The Mashu Bridge)

2.18 FOUNDER'S FALLS
____________________
Founder's Falls is Paragon City's most upmarket address, where anybody
who's anybody can be seen walking along the jetties or tending to their
yachts. All this prestige has a down side, however - Founder's Falls
also attracts the most elite criminals to it's pristine waterways.
Experienced heroes need only apply to the task of cleaning up this area -
without the right combination of experience and luck, any hero operating
in Founder's Falls will be risking a quick trip to the local hospital.

3.0 PLACES TO SEE
_________________
Below are just a sample of things you _can_ see while you are in Paragon
City, but stand out for one reason or another as things you would be poorer
for missing while in the Birthplace of Tomorrow.
3.1 STATUE OF ATLAS
___________________
Perhaps the first major statue that many heroes see on arriving in Paragon
City, the statue of Atlas is eternally burdened with the weight of the world
- a strong symbol that new heroes would be wise to remember.
3.2 GALAXY GIRL'S STATUE
________________________
Located in in Galaxy City (just outside Freedom Corps HQ), those who wish to
learn about fallen heroes would do well to visit this statue dedicated to
Galaxy Girl.
3.3 PARAGON POLICE DEPARTMENT
_____________________________
Located in Kings Row's Freedom Plaza, the Paragon Police Department is the
centre of police operations in Paragon City. Of particular note is the
large coin that sits at the front of the PPD - both heroes and citizens have
been known to use it as a backdrop for their portrait photographs.
3.4 TALOS STATUE
________________
The statue of the fallen hero Talos is an awesome sight, arising as it does
in the waters near Talos Island. It serves as both a testimonial to the
contribution Talos made to the people of Paragon City and as a symbol of
safety - that heroes like Talos will always watch over the people of
Paragon City. Young lovers and sight seers have been known to spend time on
the bridge in Helen's Point watching the sun rise over the Talos statue's
shoulder.
3.5 THE UNFINISHED OVERBROOK DAM
________________________________
In the south end of Faultline sits the half-finished shell of the Paragon
City Reservoir. Prior to the start of its construction, it was hoped that
this structure would help provide Paragon City with both water and hydro-
electricity. Unfortunately, the invasion of the Rikti and the constant
attacks on workers by a number of different villain groups saw investors
in the dam project pull out and the money run out before the Reservoir
could be completed. Heroes in the area should take a moment to look down
on the unfinished dam (or perhaps even explore the area) to remind
themselves of what will happen if they do not protect Paragon City.
3.6 PARAGON DANCE PARTY
_______________________
Hidden in Paragon City is the Paragon Dance Party - a 24-hour rave where
heroes can let their hair (or equivalent) down and dance their cares away.
On a good night (or day), the "Pocket D" (as it is known) is full of
heroes looking to socialise. There are three different entrances to the
Pocket D, each in a different zone. For heroes in the know, the Paragon
Dance Party is the place to be (and to be seen!).
You can access the Paragon Dance Party from the following locations:
Steel Canyon: At the back door of a building in Silver Lake
(loc -1678, 0, -2735)
Talos Island: On a street in New Sparta (loc 406, 160, 5572)
Independence Port: In a small fenced area on Power Island (loc -836, 1, 1218)
3.7 GRENDEL'S GULCH
___________________
Located in the centre of the Hollows, Grendel's Gulch demonstrated with
extreme clarity the destructive potential of the villians that populate
Paragon City. On first entering the Hollows, one might believe that,
despite being overrun by villains, things aren't that bad in the
neighbourhood once known as Eastgate. However, once a hero has started
to move through the zone, it doesn't take long for the true picture of
devastation to reveal itself, with Grendel's Gulch sitting at the
epicentre of the destruction. Heroes should take a trip to this area
as a sobering reminder of what can happen if they fail in their task
of stopping villainous plots.
------------------------------
4.0 MONSTERS, MOBSTERS, MERCENARIES - OH MY!
____________________________________________
Entering Paragon City almost ensures a tourist of seeing some form of
organised crime gang, supernatural entities or superpowered miscreants at
work. Below is a list of the bad guys who inhabit Paragon City and brief
guide to the different types of villains you might run into.
Heroes on missions should expect to come across Named villains. These
villains (usually Bosses, but sometimes Lieutenants) have come to
prominence within their group and often lead the group during illegal
activities. These Named villains will be mentioned within their villain
groups below as a "Most Dangerous and Wanted" list for heroes to watch
our for.
Minions are often classified by the type of attacks they can make.
Here are some of the minion suffixes you may run into and what they mean:
Brawler - Brawling
Slugger - Bat
Gunner - Machine Gun
Slammer - Sledge Hammer
Assault - Assault Rifle
Inferno - Flame Thrower
Chopper - Axe
Buckshot - Shotgun
Slicer - Dagger
Bruiser - Super Strength
Muscle - Power Punch
Smasher - Morning Star
Rifleman - Rifle
Grenadier - Grenade Launcher
Launcher - Missile Launcher
Stunner - stun rifle
Martial Artist / Fist - Martial Arts
Slasher - Broadsword
Hewer - Battle Axe
Swordsman - Katana / Rikti Sword
Fire - Flamethrower
4.1 HELLIONS
____________
Found in Atlas Park and Galaxy City, the Hellions are a gang that seek power
through black magic and involvement with demons. Although not very powerful
when in early zones, they are numerous, and an unprepared hero can find him-
/ herself overpowered if not careful. More powerful Hellions can sometimes
be seen near Circle of Thorns rituals, perhaps indicating a link between
the groups.
TYPES:
Minions* -
Blood Brothers
Lieutenants* -

Bosses -

Revenant Enforcer
Scorch
4.2 THE SKULLS
______________
The Skulls are a death-obsessed street gang. They are easily recognisable
from the prominence of bones and skulls on their outfits. Skulls may
sometimes be found in the company of Vahzilok, indicating some sort of
relationship between the two groups - this relationship appears to be
predominantly hostile, however. Skulls can also occasionally be seen
beating on Hellions - a rivalry obviously exists between these two street
gangs.
TYPES:
Minions* -
Gravediggers
Lieutenants* -
Deaths Head
*Attack Pre-/Suffixes -
Brawler
Smasher
Slicer
Gunner
Buckshot

4.3 CLOCKWORK
_____________
Found in a number of zones, Clockwork are robotic constructs that have been
made from garbage. Occasionally they can be seen working on building more of
themselves and can appear in large numbers in abandoned buildings or
scrapyards, which is of concern to any hero.
TYPES:
Objects -
Box of Parts [creates Gears until destroyed]

4.4 VAHZILOK
____________
Vahzilok are dead flesh, animated by some perverse power. It is possible that
the ranks of the Vahzilok are bolstered by citizens abducted from the streets
of Paragon City, but little is currently known about who or what is behind
the actions of these zombies. Vahzilok can sometimes be seen in direct
conflict with members of the Skulls.
TYPES:
Minions -
Cadavers*
Abominations*
Reapers
*Attack Pre-/Sufixes -

4.5 OUTCASTS
_____________
The Outcasts are a gang of elementally-powered youths who, instead of using
their power to help rebuild the City, choose to hinder it. Despite having
many powers and abilities similar to heroes, they have instead chosen to use
them against the citizens of Paragon City. It is this disregard for the
welfare of others that mean the Outcasts need to be stopped whenever and
wherever possible.
*UPDATE: From Issue #2, most Outcast minions no longer appear to have attack
suffixes of Brawler, Smasher, Slicer, etc. They now have more element-
orientated powers, making them stand out more from the other street gangs.
TYPES:
Minions -
Outcast Initiate*
Charger [electricity based powers]
Torch [fire-based powers]
Crusher [earth-based powers]
Cooler [ice-based powers]
*Attack Pre-/Suffixes -

4.6 CIRCLE OF THORNS
_____________________
Mysterious magic users, the Circle of Thorns regularly attempts to abduct
citizens for use in their dark rituals. These rituals can be seen from a
distance, emitting an eerie green glow. Accompanying these magic users can
be ghosts and demons that will attack any hero who attempts to halt the
Circle of Thorn's evil ceremonies.

4.7 THE LOST
____________
Another street gang, the Lost seem almost religious about their illegal
activities. It appears they are acting in the name of some great cause or
ideal, but one that will certainly not benefit of Paragon City. The Lost is
made up of Paragon City's homeless, perhaps held under some kind of thrall
by an unseen power. Some heroes have commented about a possible link between
the Lost and the Rikti, but no solid evidence appears to exist about their
relationships with each other.
TYPES:
Minions -

4.8 FIFTH COLUMN
________________
A well-trained and well-equipped paramilitary operation, the Fifth Column can
possibly draw its origins back to World War II, but little information about
this organisation currently exists. The recent Rikti invasion has seen them
emerge from the shadows and openly attempt to recruit new members from the
dispossessed.
UPDATE: As at the introduction of Issue #3, the Fifth Column have been
replaced by The Council following an internal coup.

4.9 THE COUNCIL
_______________
Emerging from an coup within the Fifth Column, The Council possess the same
training and resources that made the Fifth Column feared but are also backed
by the mysterious abilities of its evil Kheldian leader, Nictus. How this
villain group will impact on the face of Paragon City is yet to be seen.

4.10 TROLLS
___________
Another street gang, the Trolls are easily recognisable by their green skin
- a side effect of the massive doses of Superdine they have ingested. Other
side effects of their drug-taking include increased strength and fast
regeneration of injury, making the Trolls a force to be reckoned with. Trolls
have been seen selling drugs to other gangs, but have also been known to beat
on members of other gangs who have arrived in their territory. Some rumours
exist about a past relationship between the Trolls and the Hellions, but
neither group appears eager to discuss it.
TYPES:
Minions -
Trollkin
Jotun

Lieutenants -

Bosses -
Ogre [super strength and regeneration, earth armour]

4.11 MINIONS OF IGNEOUS
________________________
The Minons of Igneous appear to be the sires of the Earth's molten core.
They are creatures of fire and magma, granite and quartz. Appearing after
the destruction of Eastgate, they should be a concern to any hero who
attempts to pass through the area now known as the Hollows.
TYPES:
Minions -
Pumicite
Lieutenants -
Elder Pumicite
Bosses -
Magmite Lord

4.12 THE TSOO
_____________
This villain group poses a special danger to Paragon City. Not only do they
perform illegal acts themselves, but the Tsoo also appear to be leaning on
other villain groups in an attempt to make themselves rulers of the criminal
underworld. Thankfully this move has been resisted thus far, but if this goal
was ever achieved... heaven help the heroes! From the little intelligence
about them, it appears the Tsoo are powered by mystical tattoos as well as
specialist martial arts training - a deadly combination that make them both
strong and versatile on the field of battle.
TYPES:
Minions -

other they are aggressive and very, very dangerous.
TYPES:
Minions -
Spawn
Lieutenants -

Bosses -
Man'O'War
Named -
Monster -

4.14 WARRIORS
_____________
A street gang with an ancient world theme, the Warriors allegedly take
their lead from the famed civilisations of the Romans, the Greeks, the
Spartans and others of that time. In truth, this just means they have
sought some justification for preying on society as they do, for despite
the famed cultures that the Warriors have associated them with, they are
just as barbaric as your common thug.
TYPES:

4.15 THE FAMILY
_______________
Organised crime has always been a part of Paragon City, despite the best
efforts of heroes and police. The Family is probably the best representative
of this fact - no matter what has been thrown at them, they have managed to
survive, adapt and even prosper in the Birthplace of Tomorrow. In fact, the
involvement of heroes in the affairs of the Family have made them worse than
ever; not only do they know how to deal with superpowers, Family are
increasingly using them as well.
TYPES:
Minions -
Button-men
Lieutenants -
Capo
Bosses -

4.16 SKY RAIDERS

former heroes.

4.17 DEVOURING EARTH
____________________
A radical environmental group, Devouring Earth appear to have arisen from the
Earth itself to fight against the encroachment of humanity. Found
predominantly in untouched natural areas, the Devouring Earth can be seen
helping nature to flourish while attacking those that disturb them or the
habitat they care for.

little concrete evidence exists about the Pantheon's aims.

4.19 FREAKSHOW
______________
A gang of drug- and cybernetically-enchanced thugs, the Freakshow preach a
tale of anarchy and violence to its increasing number of converts. Those
unlucky to cross paths with the Freakshow will find out that it's members
don't feel pain, but just love inflicting it on others...

4.20 PRISONERS
______________
Highly visible in their orange prison clothes, the Prisoners are those who
have escaped from the Ziggurat and now terrorise the citizens of Brickstown.
They tend to gather in large numbers and have two hobbies: 1) beating up
police officers and 2) beating up heroes who get too close.

4.21 CREY
_________
Crey is a well-funded, highly visible corporation in Paragon City that
provides many of the citizens that live here with jobs. Its agents are some
of the best trained and equipped in the world and has provided incredible
help in preventing the City from falling into chaos with the death of the
heroes in the Rikti Invasion. From time to time a Crey agent is caught
committing illegal acts such as extortion or robbery, but for the most part
Crey does a fantastic job in protecting both heroes and citizens.
TYPES:

4.22 RIKTI
__________
If there is one villain group that citizens and heroes alike both hate and
fear, it is the Rikti. Responsible for the decimation of the world's hero
population during their failed invasion, the Rikti is an ever-present threat
to Paragon City. Currently stranded on Earth having failed in their invasion
attempts, the remaining Rikti forces should never be underestimated - if they
were ever able to re-open the link to their homeworld, it is almost certain
that Paragon City would fall...
TYPES:
Underling -
Rikti Monkey
Minions -
Improved Drone

Guardian
Lieutenants -

4.23 NEMESIS

Prince of Automatons for his use of mechanical entities to do his bidding.
TYPES:
Minions -

4.24 CARNIVAL OF SHADOWS

putting on street performances around some areas of the City and have no
issue with attacking heroes who disrupt them.
TYPES:

Lieutenants -

Paragon City coincides with the re-opening of the Portal Corporation.
TYPES:
Minions -
Lieutenants -
Bosses -
4.26 THE PRAETORIANS
____________________
Possibly the greatest threat to the Birthplace of Tomorrow after the Rikti,
the Praetorians are an alternative universe version of Paragon City's
greatest heroes who appear intent on conquering our world. Ever wanted to
know how well you'd fare in a fight against Synapse or Valkyrie? Well,
here's your chance to find out...
TYPES:
Minions -

4.27 SOLDIERS OF RULARUU
________________________
This new extra-dimensional threat poses a great danger to Paragon City.
This villain group can appear in large numbers out of portals they create.
What they want is currently unclear, but they certainly appear to be hostile.
Heroes must ensure they close the portals as soon as they appear to avoid
being overrun by the Soldiers of Rularuu.
NOTE: The Soldiers of Rularuu have not been seen in a while...
TYPES:

4.28 VOID HUNTERS
_________________

bounty hunters who are after the shapeshifters. They can be seen talking to
various gangs of villains in Paragon City and appear to be indifferent towards
who gets caught in the crossfire they cause.
TYPES:
Minion -
Void Seeker
Lieutenants -

4.29 OTHER
__________
Within Paragon City, certain creatures dwell that aren't necessarily
associated with any group or faction. However, they still pose a threat to
the ordinary citizens of the City and need to be dealt with by heroes.
TYPES:
Lusca aka Luska aka the Giant Octopus in Independence Port

5.0 CITIZENS OF PARAGON CITY
____________________________
By clicking on a nearby citizen, heroes in Paragon City can get a bit of
information about the City's history, statistics of the hero or the
citizens' attitude to heroes, among other things. But which citizen should
you talk to when you need to find something out?
It appears that what they say has to do with the first letter of their name.
The citizens who have names starting with the following letters will give
you the information mentioned next to them:
A -
B -
c - Mentions heroes in the same area (mostly focusing on Magic origins)
D -
E - Offical Real Time
F - Official Paragon City Time
G - Time (in minutes) of current log-in ("You have been logged in for
'xx' minutes.")
H - switches between mentioning heroes in the same area and the number
of time one of your powers has been used
I -
J -
K - Makes comments eg "Move along, nothing to see here", "And that's when
I hit him"
L -

6.0 FINAL NOTES
_______________
If I've got something wrong or left something out, please contact me and I
will attempt to fix it. This guide still has large chunks that need filling
and any help given to add content would be greatly appreciated.
6.1 THANKS
__________
- To Cryptic Studios: This game rocks hard. What else is there to say?
- To NCSoft: This has been the best beta test I've been in by far. And
release (apart from the "not available in my country" bit) has been great
too.
- To the CoH community: I stuck around for CoH, but you guys made the time
[sorta] fly by ;-)
- To my gf: who realises what this game means to me and generally leaves
me alone during play sessions. [As at 27/3/04, the gf mentioned here leveled
up into my wife, but the same message applies :-)]
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

zone posts and Gaffer's trainer post in patch notes.
Version 0.15 - Big thanks to: Macallen for filling in the Villain groups
that I had missed along with some zone info; Cyberhero for a more detailed
breakdown of Kings Row; Geist for doing the same bits as Macallen, only
slower ;-)

Changed the layout for the Named villains to make them easier to read. This
guide appeared at Gamefaqs from v0.30 onwards.
Version 0.60 - With release and the character wipe coming, I thought I should
get my butt into gear and look at some of the zones I hadn't visited yet.

to villain groups. Added in Talos Statue information. Thanks goes to Grey_Gaeru
and Astartus for some more Named villain information as well as zone info.
Version 0.65 - Changed the order of the villain groups to a more logical order.
This may be the last update for a little while (from me, anyway) since I didn't
manage to get a pre-order disk (thank you, Amazon!). Some AP / GC information
was sent to me by Icereaver (Virtue Server) - some bits of Paragon City have
obviously changed since beta. Grave Digger provided some store information and
Joeschmoe4ever provided some zone / security lvl info.
Version 0.70 - Added in Sewer Network information. Lord Thrash sent me some
more villain information, as did ss5joshua about higher lvl villain names.

information comes from
http://www.unseen.net/coh/badges.php
which Lopt kindly agreed to let me use in this guide.
Version 0.82 - A big thanks to Wusheng for putting me on to how the things
that the citizens of Paragon City say are linked to the first letter of
their name. I've put this into Section 5.
6.3 VERSION NOTES:
__________________
- I've included this section as of v.074 after realising that the
Contributors section was becoming more of a set of version notes for what
changes had been made. From now on, section 5.2 will just include contributor
thanks and section 5.3 will list the guide changes. -
* Version 0.73 - Added in a lot more information on Faultline and have finally
finished mapping this zone. Added in "The Unfinished Overbrook Dam" into the
_Places to See_ section because I think this area is pretty impressive and
shows off CoH's scale very well. Finalised Boomtown. Lots of badges added.
Have also started to enter store locations by their /loc coordinates.
* Version 0.74 - Added in most of the Skyway City store loc's. Added in some
more villain information for Clockwork, Tsoo and Outcasts.
* Version 0.75 - Added in some more store locations and mapped The Hollows.
* Version 0.76 - Added in some more store locations, added The Tunnels of
the Trolls and the location of the Paragon City Dance Party as at this date.
* Version 0.78 - Fixed an incorrect badge coordinate in Atlas Park. Added
in Freakshow information and some more shop locations.
* Version 0.80 - Added in some of the information about items introduced
in "Issue #3: A Council of War" (and yes, I know I'm beind the times on
this! :-).
* Version 0.81 - Replaced all Fifth Column locations with The Council and
added in a few more villain names.
* Version 0.82 - Added in badge locations for The Hollows and started to
add in data about "Issue #4: Colosseum". Added in information supplied
by Wusheng about what Paragon citizens say.
* Version 0.83 - Added in badge locations for Talos Island and Independence
Port, as well as for the Expert, Intellectual and Ghost Hunter historical
badges.
* Version 0.84 - Added in more villain information and badge information for
the Researcher and Scholar badges.
* Version 0.84 - With some sadness I've accepted the fact that I am unable
to keep up with the updates. "Issue #6: Along Came A Spider" has come out and
I'm still lacking info from Issue #2! As such, I'm abandoning this guide.
Instead, I recommend that you go to http://www.vidiotmaps.com to find out
the important features of all zones. Even better, download their map patch
which will let you see the revised maps in-game (although this may be
against a strict interpretation of CoH's terms of service, Cryptic / NCSoft
haven't imposed any sanctions against users of the map patch at this point).
