City of Heroes is a Super-Hero/villain MMORPG with legendary character customization.
Info A là Tvtropes.
City of Heroes is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game based on comic-book style superheroes. Set in and around Paragon City, a fictional Rhode Island metropolis still recovering after a thwarted but still disastrous Alien Invasion, it superbly reproduces the flavor and feel of the superheroic genre. Players take on the role of one of many fledgling heroes surging to fill the void left in the wake of several heroes fallen in defense of the earth during the aforementioned "Rikti" alien invasion.
City of Heroes is complemented and paralleled by a villainous counterpart, City of Villains. Players of City of Villains assume the role of a freshly escaped super-powered convict who may fit into a prophecy about a "destined one" whom it is said will rise to threaten even the most powerful echelons of the Rogue Isles villain factions. The two games overlap in select areas, including PvP zones and a no-conflict nightclub in another dimension called "Pocket D". The two games, originally separate, were eventually combined, and now players can make heroes or villains.
The recently-released expansion, Going Rogue, allows characters to change alignment and introduces a mirror universe as a third starting location.
Some of CoH/CoV's most innovative features are related to character/avatar design. The games provides a truly astounding variety of appearance combinations, which grow with each new version. The power combinations are similarly impressive.
The game is also the first major MMO to include user created content, in the form of its Mission Architect system and player-created story arcs.
Originally, a variety of (back)story was told through the developers' adopted avatars — known collectively as the Avengers-esque super-team Freedom Phalanx — with the hero Statesman as their (in game and out) leader. Their evil counterparts would later be introduced in City of Villains. Known as Arachnos by name and led by Statesman's equal-but-opposite in Lord Recluse, ruler of the Rogue Isles (a fictional archipelago about 50 miles north of Bermuda). Statesman was originally the in-game avatar of real life senior developer Jack Emmert, who has since moved on and left the game in the care of Lead Developer Matt Miller (known for his avatar, Positron), who has since moved down to hands-on design work, handing the role of Lead Developer to Melissa Bianco (known for her avatar, War Witch).
