A Reference Site for Serious CoH Players
(Villains Cordially Invited)

Welcome to HEROICA!

I've brought this page into existence because I thought the City of Heroes player community - and now the City of Villains community as well - could use a good central site for game information. There's any number of CoH sites, including the official one and the CoH Warcry site, and some of them are very good places to visit. I still thought there was room for one more, a site really dedicated to the serious player looking for concise, useful information about the game... and also a central site that maintains up-to-date links to the other worthwhile pages.

The main resource here is the Keybind, Macro & Emote Guide, which has just been updated with the Issue 8 stuff.

Contributions are welcome - let me know what you have! I'm particularly interested in good, complete, accurate lists of CoH features that are not well-represented on other sites. Got a list of Enhancement prices, Task Force details, or other useful compendiums? Let me know!

You can contact me about anything on this site, or anything CoH-related, at the address below. Sorry it's a graphic; I try to keep from feeding the spam-bots whenever possible. You can also ping me in the game if you're on Victory. I'm on most evenings, US west coast time.

See you around Paragon City, Victory Server dimension!

Current 1.80 update: Issue 8 Updates and Corrections - mostly emote updates plus info on chat bubble colors. (Please note that the filenames for the guide will be changed with each revision, and so linking directly to them will result in broken links. Link to this page instead.)
