  Let me use the following table

  CoH without CoV= $15 per month. Access to all aspects of CoH. No access to anything CoV.

  CoV without  CoH= $15 per month. Access to all aspects of CoV. No access to anything CoH

  CoV and CoH together = 15 per month. Access to all CoV and CoH

  I don't know if you don't have both, if you can participate in PVP. Although I don't think you will. That is my speculation though.

  

  your arguement is so persuasive, so filled with knowledge and insight. You back up your argument very articulately, with suggestions of improvements and raising examples to glorify your position....oh wait, you didn't

  Do you have any proof to support these speculations?

  Sanctus sums everything well.  CoV is not an expension, it is a new MMORPG that is 100% connecting with CoH if you have it.

   

  Speculations:  I think you will still be able to do PvP with a game alone, as long as those PvPing you have both.  However, many aspects of PvP will be CoV only, and they will prolly put a few in CoH only.  Exemple, if you have a game only, you will only be able to PvP folks that have both games, so let say you have CoV only, if you want to PvP a hero, you will need to find heroes who will have CoH and CoV and then only in the CoV part.  Not sure if they will allow heroes and villains to group together, I hope so, but I have no idea...I dont like a game that prevent opposing faction from grouping, try to limit it or discourage it if you want, but dont prevent it.

  In the CoV homepage i thought i had read CoV was an expansion. But, why would someone from CoH want to buy CoV if they're going to continue playing CoH without getting a villain?

  last i heard CoV is an expansion so that would mean u must have CoH on ur comp already.

  Heimlichkeit,

  Quote pertaining to cost of CoV and CoH in red

  
  

  Quote: GD: There's also the City of Villains expansion... JE: That's due out next year. Obviously, you get to be the bad guy, and it's going to be when we introduce PvP (player versus player) on a large scale in the city. We'll probably be introducing it in an arena sooner than you think... but basically, it's where players get to be a supervillain. GD: Is it an entirely different game? JE: This is one for the business guys, but let me tell you how I want to design it: It's going to be a standalone game, so you can buy City of Villains and play it and interact with the players in City of Heroes, but you just can't be a hero -- you can't build a hero and you can't go through the hero track. It's one subscription fee -- $14.95 a month regardless of whether you have City of Heroes, City of Villains, or both. GD: And that'll all be in the same world? JE: We'll be opening up new areas of the world that you won't be able to get to unless you own City of Villains.

  The "CoV is a completely different game apart from CoH but not" is from a post by Statesman on the official message boards. However, he also said that is what HE wanted it to be and he does not have the final say, NCSoft does. So, CoV could be just nothing more than an expansion or it could be a whole new game. Real information about CoV probably won't revealed until around March or so.

  Exactly. It will probably BE an expansion in which u will need CoH to play BUT u will be able to play one or the other.

  Uh, no. The proper term for CoV is Expanshalone!

  New players can pick up CoV of the store shelf and start playing a villain in a separate city-cluster known as the Rogue Isles without having bought or played CoH. That player then can indulge in PvE action pre-level 14, or mix in some player-Villain versus player-Hero action after level 14. This PvP will occur in PvP zones, base raids, or specifically designed mission that allow a player of the opposite faction to intrude into.

  The use of 'expansion' in relation to CoV doesn't really tell the whole story. Sure, to a current CoH subscriber it seems like an expansion. However, new players that play CoV first will consider CoH the expansion when they get tired of playing just a villain.

  Conventional wisdom on the CoH forum is that CoV beta will start late spring, with the release being Fall '05.
