City of Villains question

in City of Heroes

This has probably been asked before, but is the City of Villains a new (separate) game, or will it be an expansion/add-on to CoH?

Just curious. The City of Villains web site makes it appear it will be an expansion to CoH.

If so - how will it be? Will there be a villain zone? Will certain zones be PvP? I hope PvP is induced by the fact that you wander into a PvP zone, and not something like duel in WoW, where you have to agree to fight.

I also hope that if they introduce new character types/skins/uniforms in City of Villains, that some of that spills over to CoH. IE, things like tentacles, changing body type, etc. Not to mention new powers.

Just wondering if anyone has the scoop on CoV. Is there a better link then cityofvillains.com for info?

    I dont have the scoop.

     

    - It is a NEW game.  However, you play in the same world, they connect.  If you want to play a hero, you need CoH only, if you want to play a villain, you need CoV only.  I am sure there will be many links, so it is ''kinda'' an expension without really been 1.

     

    - They state that PvP will be consentual.  This is vague and I let you imagination try to figure what this mean.  My imagination ''think''(speculation) that you will have a few PvP zones, many PvE zones, most of the fights would happen in instanced zones(bases) so there would be no outside help...SPECULATIONS, nothing more.  Fighting in instanced zones have 1 huge edge, you can keep it sporting and fun with folks you like and ignore the jerks and let them bug off!

     

    The forums links you will find there on this site is the best place for info if you really want to read them, the devs ANSWERS and talk there.

    Also, if you have both games, it is said you will not be charged a separate subscription fee for City of Villains.

    But they've left open the option to add a buck or two to the monthly if you subscribe to both games. They haven't figured out the fee thing yet, though.

    The official city of villains web page calls it an expansion, and not a new game. I wouldn't expect them to not change the monthly fee structure, but rather just charge for the expansion. www.cityofvillains.com is the official website and it is called an expansion.. I would expect that you need to have the original game to play with the expansion adding the ability to play as a villain, pvp between villains and heroes, the ability to build lairs etc. If anyone has any official info stating that City of Villains will be stand-alone I would be most interested.. so far, haven't seen any.

    Sounds good to me. Beta Testing info should be coming out soon too.
