In game lore points?

[kito]

I started playing with more new players who do not know the lore as well as me, some of it I'm not even sure what mish I learned what in anymore. Is there a PDF or something of the in game lore just the main points or ideas I could send people?  or is there already a full "lore" mish set up some one has made you can do threw Oro? I was going to start both of this but assumed this might already be done.

So many sources for lore you can't possibly read them all.

 

City of Heroes Fandom is a good wiki to start with.

https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/In-game_timeline

 

Here's some stuff I found from Reddit with a quick search: 

archive.Paragonwiki.com is the community-run backup of paragonwiki as it existed during live's shutdown.

https://cityofheroes.fandom.com/wiki/ is a completely separate project that has culled much of Paragonwiki's content, usually ver-batim.

https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/ is Homecoming's official wiki containing much edits/updates/revisions, especially those pertaining to HC's custom content/changes

 

And more: 

1. Start here and work your way through the sidebar (*Under Game Info*) : http://www.cityofheroes.ca/game_info/history/paragon_city_an_introduction.html

2.  

3. As you do (1.), every time you encounter an enemy type whose lore you're unfamiliar with, go here and find that enemy type's page, read its history: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Category:Enemies

 

I don't know of a single document with basic or detailed lore. Though I'm sure somewhere someone has created one.

When I encounter something I have questions about I usually check City of Heroes Fandom but there are plenty of other sources out there.

 

Good luck and good reading.

The stuff is not up to date as far as HC. Ik the Val had some changes in one of the tf was there more?

[Tenaxa]

I am not sure where the very latest info is located. The arc with Marchand (available at like lvl 35? primarily in Brick) about the "New Praetorians" updates some of that lore.

I'd have to poke around further to get full updates on the final status of Praetoria is.

Dark Astoria arcs update some of the lore and add a lot as well.

There is a COH Bible created by the Paragon staff before the close of the game. It explains more than just the Lore.

What a Goldmine, how have I not seen this before?!

Fun fact it has it's own page on the Wiki:

I was asking the same question a long time ago. Where are we now? How many years have passed since CoH closed? No one at the time could answer. This was back when Homecoming was first officially opening for others to play (not sure if it was actually official yet). 

Does Homecoming have any official time line going in respect to Homecoming, or are we still just kind of working off of the old?

I think the idea is we are just working off where sunset ended and every extra thing in HC there tf and mish and such are just the new stuff And updates. 

 

Given that portal is a thing it's not hard to see we where playing on the older world that died and this is just a new one where technology did not change as much and it's still about 2014 there.   

 

Granted given how time works in coh I think the live servers ended in like the year 2044 or something silly as I think one RL year is about 10 coh years?

Been reading the coh bible (I must have read this before and fight where I put it) and have to wonder tf did they do to the poor outcast. There section is tiny with really nothing to go on I think it has they they are allies with the warriors in the info but does not even have an allies section what there part removed or just never worked on
