I found news. sort of. facebook page. some one cereated a City of Heroes facebook page that is showing off photos of City of Heroes. I guess I can call it City of Heroes 1.5 or 1.6 pending on the point of view. well I do not know how to copy paste photos hear. upload files only work on text not photos. anyway I am stuch uploading photos to this note. never the less what I can day is some people are hard at work to build City of Heroes using the unreal engine 4. it looks boody hell fantastic! I seen a lot of photos of Atlas Park. I seen one photo of Pocket D. that shows the door for the X-mas holiday speical and on the side the center stage. then missing the red and blue lighting effects. then I seen something from Galaxy City and pre-early /pre-alpha photos parts of independance Port. they got the ocean done. then a section of a few streets. and parts of the bridge. its not completed as what I can see. is this real productiion work? or is this fan based art to show of Ulreal Engine 4? whats killing me is the waiting. not getting no information from NCSOFT. I can see there is a big enough market to have both COH and COT you know what? I think I got a idea. how about combine both COH and COT together in to one game. both games are going to use the same graphic engine..right. then make exploration badges more fiun ! then we all want COH to come back. then bring in more money for COT
CITY of Heroes the Titan edition
how is that?
any way i am trying to getting problems with the issue of getting a relauch date for COH 1.5 or what ever. get aht up and running while I wait for COT to launch. I am board to death with no MMO to log in to. Nothing elese worked for me.

City of Heores 1.5
That would be Atlas Park Revival aka CoH 1.5. It's risky VERY risky the IP of CoH is owned by NCsoft. Thankfully there maybe a way soon for APR to be official it's still a long shot, but a lot closer than it was a year ago. As of right now APR is a fan product and would be considered illegal if they opened the doors for players.
The point of having more than one project is to have a fail safe. Didn't start off that way, as the Plan Z operation went forward different views emerged. City of Titans is one of the emerged direction. With new combat system, new power archetypes, new Lore (mission) system, as well as many new ideas. Those ideas are part of a new beast. CoH 1.5 is more in the line of updating the old game. There maybe some features crossing over thought mainly the goal of Atlas Park Revival aka CoH 1.5 is to bring the old game up to speed. With Windows 9 coming up soon the old system wouldn't be able to be playable.
One of the reasons NCsoft might have shut down CoH was because of that fact. Windows 9 wouldn't be compatible and it would cost to much and to much trouble to update it for the new windows. Who knows NCsoft never did make it clear why.
The same idea was for joining H&V or Valiance online. H&V is a no mainly because the person that started it didn't want to work with the team building CoT. Valiance and CoT were talked about however the two ideas were just that Two Ideas. It's like saying combine Marvel and DC, maybe add some Image in there as well as some Silver age stuff.
We just at a point where there are too many good ideas, too many goals, and too many directions to blend them together. In the end having more than one project better over all. Higher chance one or more of them will be self supporting enough to stay.

Personal rules of good roleplay
1.) Nothing goes as planned.
2.) If it goes as planned it's not good RP
Last I heard there are no plans on City of Titans using story or setting elements from the original game. The CoT devs are still going to focus on their own world, lore and characters, but, assuming the IP negotiations succeed, they might be interested in many of the old art assets like certain sounds, costume pieces, etc. - things that would make current development of CoT a bit easier for them. APR would go on to create CoH 1.5.
THAT SAID - one of the CoT devs suggested that, because APR is also using UE4 to build/re-create the old Paragon city, it could be possible to import the maps and "pull a Preatoria", allowing CoT characters visit the Paragon City world for adventures. Will that happen? Unknown, but it will probably only be considered well after launch.
Moved to an appropriate section of the forum, as CoH 1.5 is not any project which MWM is participating in.
