Speculation thread here folks.
The history of Paragon City goes to 2002. Some events would have occurred after. The Council defeating the 5th Column, the Shivan Meteor destroying Galaxy City, repairs started on Faultline, and a few character developments.
Imagining if CoH were a modern MMO like World of Warcraft and evolved with a new expansion every two years. If Paragon Studios had Blizzard's phasing technology and such. Of if it were a "real" city or living setting. that could change over time.
Zones changes, characters grew older or died, and the storyline moved on.
What do you think would have happened in those twelve years?
Personally, I always thought Perez Park and Dark Astoria should have been cleaned up. Countess Crey would have been jailed and someone else taken over Crey Industries. Maybe a few of the damaged zones rebuilt.
