Super Groups (Hero) on Virtue (Nov '07 - Jan '08)
Name: The Justiciar
Currently Recruiting: Yes.
RP Level: In Ideal, we work for full immersion and consistent in-character interaction but this does not mean we don't welcome OOC interaction, we just want you to do it in brackets most of the time. Typically, if you don't roleplay or have no interest in it, this isn't the SG for you.
Theme/Concept: What is the Justiciar?
"Noun: justiciar jú'stisheeu(r)
Usage: Brit
1. One who does justice in place of the king
2. An agent of judiciary punishment made viable by the basis of justice in Law, though not necessarily sanctioned by it."
-Online freeweb dictionary
"Basically a Justiciar is a half sociopath serial killer for the good side and sometimes has a half sociopath serial killer girlfriend."
- ClydeWithoutTheBonny, The Matrix Online
"Ever seen ACTION AMERICA? thats the justicar on crack in puppet world."
- Andrew Fellings, LOTJ
"A justiciar is someone with an irremovable sense of memory embedded into their heart, a memory of why concepts in place within the modern civilized age are there;a vision of a time when things were still okay, along with the pain of when they began to go wrong."
- Elenna Renthol, Neverwinter Nights
"Being a justicar is like being a dude with a sword, you hit stuff and impress chicks. Except you only hit bad people and you hit them ten times harder."- Joseph Hobbson(WolfgangDanger), Ultima Online
"To each knight the spirit of the Lion's own heart, that he be winged before his Goddess and know himself a Justiciar."
- Leo Dapiaoen, "The fine silver gauntlet."
The concept of the Justiciar is a long lived one that has surfaced in many gaming genre, from table top factions to ffxi linkshells, EVE online corporations and syndicate crews in the matrix online. Though the Justiciar concept in those games was different in ways that would not fit within City of Heroes, in application into it and the Superhero theme, the overall feel of the gaming experience is not much different.
The sort of gamers the Justiciar concept attracts are from a very real stock of person, most often the same individuals who enjoyed movies like "Leon", "The Professional", "Boondock Saints". Maybe even "The Crow". Those who's fantasy world is made absolute and potent by the idea of fighting for a greater good brought about, originating from, a deep sense of pain and loss when observing the dark state of life and the lack thereof. The Justiciar are not your typical glory-seeking heroes of good nature, but rather men and women so very sensitive (or undesensitized)in their most often near-genius level of awareness that they literally -feel- the amount of imbalance in their world. This imbalance causes them pain, and they are driven therein to do something about it.
While the nature of a vigilante (a Justiciar warrior)is ever-existentially that of someone who would stand up against what is wrong, the necessity of their existence as a vigilante is predetermined by just how bad things are in the world(by the necessity for vigilantism itself), which is defined personally by each character's perception. For a Justiciar ecologist, perhaps the destruction of nature to erect great testaments of technology is an evildoing, for a human who's mother was beaten by his father perhaps the greatest evil is abuse of women and instills in him a shifty sense of sexism that sometimes counters the chivalry he has grown to posess. Often, what makes a vigilante capable of the extremities he finds necessary is the fact he has suffered injustice, or evil himself(Such as Batman, Vigilante, Deadpool, several of The Avengers, etc). He knows darkness firsthand. The concept of the Justiciar takes all these sorts of characters and unites them, solidifies them under a system of law and universal Justice they all can agree upon. While this does not mean that in order to fit in within the Justiciar you must be strictly of the sort defined above, those elements -are- the structural foundation upon which the Justiciar was founded and will remain it's governing theme. Maybe your character, like Superlion does not do his work for reasons of vengeance or having experienced injustice firsthand, but for the opposite: A love for the people that the villains he punishes might hurt. All logics or reasons that come to the same result of Justice being needed are cause for working within the Justiciar.
Some things are clear cut. [censored], child molestation. These things are direct evil and immediately warranting of punishment with no need to find justification for hesitation. Murder comes a close second, but the whys and what fors are great complications that any Justiciar must consider in order to justify execution of Justice upon that murderer. While the work of a Zealot originates from the deep need explained above to undo wrongdoings both great and small, it is a sense of self control and perfection in this work that makes him complete. A justiciar won't simply punish someone for an evil directly, it must be fully investigated. Though their brand of what redeems a person and what makes them evil is slightly different from what one might guess (more religious in theme).
Because the Justiciar begin sanctioned militant presence in Paragon, they feel inheritant of all responsibilities to it and to it's government. Their duties as men and women of justice and protectors of Paragon balance on this scale, and further complicate the methods by which they act. In the end, however: Justice comes before the Law.
The duties of a Justiciar are not only to judge the wicked, but to protect the innocent, teach the ignorant and bring enlightenment to the close minded. Often it is a greater deed for a Justiciar to find a home for an orphaned child or inspire belief in good things to a depressed person than it is to punish a thief or reprimand a kidnapper.
The ultimate goal of the Justiciar is progressive: their actions and the effects thereof must greatly exceed the negative effects of that action by means of encouraging growth and prosperity of life and order. That is to say, if a murderer has a family then a Justiciar would have to take into great consideration the effects of that murderer's execution upon his family. This does not mean that the murderer will be simply warned and released, but does mean that actions will be taken in order to assure that his family does not suffer; A Justiciar never does a job half-[censored]. I'm not saying a Justiciar will always make a perfect decision, but I am saying he will always, honestly think it through reasonably. The Justiciar never give execution unless it is absolutely necessary, and certainly don't kill individuals for lesser acts of injustice such as theft.
What makes a Justiciar a Justiciar is a semi-complicated near-spiritual belief of being chosen. That is, you're born with it. The quality defining a Justiciar most prominently (and that which each Vigilante, DC comics passing on the bandanna looked for)is a passionate pursuit of Right over Wrong. Not just a preference or a good heart, but a person who is so utterly possessed with seeking right over wrong that it has taken over a part of them. These are called "Seekers" (or "Purpose Seekers")and are considered "lost children" of the Justiciar brotherhood.
Ultimately, the goal of the Justiciar as a community is to draw together a large group of likeminded roleplayers who can not only enjoy the sort of heavy, mature roleplaying aspect they desire with people who understand it as they do, but also just to meet new people and make new friends. Oh, and lately some of us have a crazy idea to support someone towards getting on Stan Lee's television show.
Activity: We have 14 active, dedicated members that have been in the SG for over a year and a half. We've accumulated around 5 million prestige in that time. Many of our founding members out of that amount are military, however, and cannot always be active. We were very inactive until just a week before December 14th, 2007 and are attempting to reconvene and re-immerse ourselves. Thus this post.
Requirements for Membership: You like people, and aren't afraid of friendships. Other than that, it's best if you're a roleplayer or don't mind roleplay and won't break immersion for others who do roleplay. Having a microphone dosn't hurt, either. Typically we'll take anyone who likes the concept, knows how to get along, work as a team and wants to join.
Leadership: We harbor a 'council' leadership. Once a member proves themselves beyond the 'fickle entry' phase and shows to be a member willing and wanting to dedicate, they're put up to first or second rank with full priveledges. Listing the leaders would just be listing the roster right now. With more members, this may change. Think Justice League as it was before it got very big.
In-Game Contact(s): @Superlion, @Zea would be best.
Out-of-Game Contact(s): Superlion (the poster here) via PM, or Tzadkiel@comcast.net
URL: Currently under construction.
Coalition(s): None as of yet, but we intend to join a large roleplaying coalition very soon.
Other Details: Currently we engage in PvP, standard PvE, missions, task-forces, so forth. We do not currently raid, as we don't have the prestige to accomodate a proper raiding base without destroying our incredibly cool teleporter room. This is soon to change, however, as we've recently hit the 5 million prestige mark.
P.S. Any more elaborate information as to roleplaying theme and current supergroup storyline, as well as the history thereof can be inquired into by anyone interested.
Name: Gods of Virtue
Currently Recruiting: Referral Only
RP Level: Non-RP
Theme/Concept: We have no theme per se, however, many of our characters are designed around min/maxing for optimal team performance and we frequently run themed/planned super teams.
Activity: We are a medium sized SG with about 20 players, but we are very active and frequently run themed teams built on min/maxing and optimum performance in zone PVP. All of our members are veteran players with at least a year of COH/COV experience. Many of us are dedicated to COH/COV with 2 accounts.
Requirements for Membership: You must have earned the trust of our other members, as membership is approved by concensus.

Coalition(s): We are currently coalitioned with both the Paragonian Knights and the Legion of Freedom.
Other Details: We currently have a fully functional base (on both sides) and a Ventrilo server. We have very low member turnover, but at the same time very small increases in membership as we are very selective. Our goal is to have fun in everything we do without turning the game into a chore, and the fact that we have been active for so long while other Supergroups have fallen to the wayside is, I believe, a testament to the fact that we are successful.
Super Group: Rift.
Theme: Tech themed base. (I am planning to add a couple Arcane themed rooms for those of that bent). A place for solo'ers, loners, n00bs, rookies, vets, casuals and anyone who needs excellent base facilities with few if any demands in return. ((This has been my personal SG since I-4/5 and I am intending to open it up for use by those in need)).
RP Level: Minimal up to whatever floats your boat.
Recruiting: Currently recruiting.
Requirements: Have fun, don't be a tool, treat your SG-mates with respect. Oh, and consider staying in SG mode till level 25.

Coalition: the Asguardian League.
Base details: Porters to 12 Zones (and Coalition has all ports as well), Med Bay, Workshop with Invention and other Worktables, Buff Station, Inspiration Storage, Enhancement Storage, private Vault access, and a clean sharp design.
Other: May be willing to Coalition with less established SG's in need of base facility assistance.
Masterminds annoy everybody, sooner or later. Heck, Masterminds annoy themselves.

Hand of Shadows Virtue Server
The HoS is a moderate to heavy RP SG looking for darker heroes who are willing to use lethal means in the fight against organized crime. Were a hidden sect of assassins and vigilantes who do what we believe is necessary to protect the innocent, even if we too must become criminals.
Leaders:
Renn Nurantur/Hagane Dragon (@Renn Nurantur)
Nightmares Edge (@ Sagale )
Currently Recruiting:
You betcha!
RP Level:
Moderate to heavy. RP-friendliness is a must. However, participation in our RP antics would be greatly appreciated (and possibly rewarded with cake).
Concept:
The main idea behind the Hand is to form an underground organization of what are essentially benevolent assassins. Or to put it simply, we are vigilantes operating outside the local laws. Inspiration has come from sources such as the Hashashin (the original assassins, or better known as The Brotherhood of Assassins Creed), the League of Shadows of Batman Begins (but just to clarify WE DO NOT WANT TO BURN DOWN PARAGON CITY), and even the in-game Wyvern organization. I guess you could say were like ninjas but with more variety and awesome points.
Requirements for Membership:
All levels and archetypes are welcome, but we prefer main or at least active toons. People new to the game are just as welcome to join as any veterans out there. New recruits go through a one week minimum initiation period to ensure that they belong in the group. Also, it is required of our members to register on our guild portal site so that we can better plan events such as TFs and what not. Participation on our forums is not mandatory, but encouraged.

Other Info:
We currently have a functional base equipped with medbay, storage, invention worktables, a teleporter, etc
We also have included some rooms for more aesthetic purposes that our members can enjoy such as the meeting room and the dormitories.
Also, we have formed a few coalitions and are willing to form more with any fellow RP groups. If you think you might be interested in having a sect of assassins backing you, drop me a line and well have a chat.
Name: Golden Age Guild
Currently Recruiting: We are happily accepting new members looking for a fun, inclusive, active, but not demanding sg.
RP Level: RP-friendly.
Theme/Concept: All the members of Golden Age Guild were in Paragon City on a mission in 1943 when they were caught in a a time-warp and transported to the present, where they have decided they can do even more good. They are headquartered in their orginal waterfront warehouse secret base, which is a little worse for wear but was strong enough to survive the ensuing decades. The base is currently being retrofitted with 21st Century tech. The roster of Golden Age Guild is composed of heroes from all eras and genres.
Activity: As a new sg we have -- as of this writing -- about ten members and a little more than twice that number of heroes. Members are very open to impromptu teaming as well as scheduling missions.
Requirements for Membership: Our only membership requirements are that players be friendly, fun and inclusive. We are a good fit for everyone from the casual to the intensive player.
Leadership: Doc Devil, The Haunting Gray Ghost, Mister All-American, Lunar Lady
In-Game Contact(s): Global @Wyrd Wolf
Out-of-Game Contact(s): Sworn_Servant on the Virtue Forums for PMs
URL: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/goldenageguild/
Coalition(s): Golden Age Guild is currently coalitioned with The Temporal Defense as a roleplaying alliance. The Temporal Defense is a time travel- and temporal manipulation-themed roleplaying group.
Other Details: Our base currently features a complete basic set-up (portal, oversight room, med room and workshop) and we are aggressively working to complete it's remodeling. We welcome member feedback and are happy to help schedule and participate in any aspect of game play. We also welcome new coalitions with any interested sgs.
Name: The Misfit Club
Currently Recruiting: We are currently looking for new members interested in character driven RP.
RP Level: RP-heavy
Theme/Concept: The Misfit Club is an eclectic gathering of heroes that have found themselves in Paragon City for one reason or another. Coming from other cities, dimensions, planets, and backyards, the Misfits are a tough, witty, and resourceful bunch of heroes banding together to take the fight back to the bad guys!
Perhaps more interested in running through back alleys instead of standing atop City Hall with a flag in the background? Having a hard time fitting in with "normal" superheroes in Paragon? Perhaps just having a hard time to fit in anywhere? The Misfits stick together for mutual support in their fight against the evils found in the City. I would classify it as a mature level SG only because of thematic content and language used on occasion. Movie style rating = PG-13.
Inspiration for the Misfits can be found in the Justice League International by Keith Giffen and J.M DeMatties, Ocean's Eleven movies, and just a touch of the Muppet Show. We are a band of mature, fun-loving, rp-lovin' gamers who have an emphasis on witty improvisation and more importantly, a good time.
The character tone is a mix of gritty, quirky, and, I'll say it one more time, fun.
Activity: We currently starting up and have five unique members but a handful of alts. (hence the recruitment). Best play times are weekday evenings. Weekend play time is varied with members being off and on from morning to evening. Member time zone is currently Eastern DST.
Requirements for Membership: Though we still need a few IC "humorless straight men", we ask that players OOC maintain a drama-free attitude about a group whose goal is to work together, have fun, cause some chaos, and collaborate on some shared storytelling.
Leadership: The Coyote Kid
In-Game Contact: @coyotekid
Out-of-Game Contact: COH Forum handle = Coyotekid. You can also contact us at our Guildportal website below.
URL: The Misfit Club
Coalition(s): The Justiciar -- IC associates and new alliance. Would be willing to entertain other Coalitions!
Other Details: The Misfit Club was created with one central rule, if you get too serious, we will laugh at you. At this time, we have no requirements about time spent online, prestige production, or anything. All we ask is that you try and stay IC as much as possible, keep the general theme of the SG in mind, and put all OOC comments within the magical brackets. We're just a fun-loving group of improv. RP'ers having a good time with characters that are a bit outside the norm. Being an old hand at traditional RP, I will be trying out, in the near future, several 'RP experiments" with our forum board as well as things in-game.
Our base is located in the back warehouse building connected to the Cardinal's Nest which is a medium sized bar run by an old acquaintance of Coyote Kid's. (see Forum board for backstory.) We have a few teleporters, some storage, and, well, some more storage. Rent for the base is currently paid by members working a few shifts at the bar. Members patrol and take assignments as they can get them.
If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me on the website or in-game! See ya on the streets!

Theme/Concept: Dark Remnant operates as a grittier group of heroes, think of it as a superpowered Wyvern. We accept characters that the individual considers dark or mysterious in some way, by Story, Powersets, Ninjas, or even costumes. As long as you think your character is Dark and/or mysterious in some way. Even if your hero is of the rougher crowd they will be accepted.

Name: The Millennium Paladins
Currently Recruiting: The Millennium Paladins are currently looking for new members. There is a one week probationary period to see if everyone will be happy with the arrangement.
RP Level: We are RP intensive. Our MP Saga is every Wednesday though that has currently been put on hold until we find a good mix of reliable and dedicated people again. But we RP about 80% of the time. Now, you don't HAVE to RP, but you do if you want to reach the higher ranks. Our promotion is based partially on RPing.
Theme/Concept: The Millennium Paladins are modern day examples of honor, courage, commitment, and purity. Chosen by Almighty God Himself, among them are The Twelve, men and women prophesied in the Eleazar Prophecy to have key roles in the Unknown Certainty, a 1000 day milestone event that changes the world forever. They are identified by a star shaped birthmark on their body. So far, only four of them have been found.
Activity: Currently, we have over 20 unique members but we're in slow down mode. Our focus right now is to grab about ten to fifteen solid, active players, active meaning you play at least two or three times a week.
Requirements for Membership: There are no level requirements. You agree to adhere to the MP Code of Conduct at our website. And again, there's a one week probationary period where we gauge things like activity, RP ability, and the like. We're easy in this regard. 30 days of inactivity and you get the boot. No demonic, fallen angel, devils, witches, or anti-hero characters. We're paladins and that just will not mesh with our theme.
Leadership: Servant 12.
In-Game Contact(s): @Servant12 or Servant-12
Out-of-Game Contact(s): On the forum here it's Servant12. (with the period). You can also send me an email at prezman@hotmail.com.
URL: The Millennium Paladin website.
Coalition(s): We currently have no coalitions to speak of since the ones we had never did much of anything so I canned them. But we are looking for some coalitions with other RP SGs. Be interested in hearing from you.
Other Details: Normally we have scheduled events every week which anyone can sign up for. We also have a detailed and impressive award, promotion, and ranking system.
Looking forward to speaking to you.

Guild Description:
(IC) The Justice Guard is the re-emergance and reorganization of one of Paragon's earliest premier SuperGroups. Sole remaining original member, Liberty Guard, and his close associate, Cap'tain Amazing have breathed life anew into the organization after a solid defeating of Lord Recluse's latest attempt at world domination. It's purpose, to provide a direct secondary option in threat response should the Freedom Phalanx be unable to attend to a given crisis. With both being members, and having a direct connection with local law enforcement via a third founding member, ArchStrike, The Justice Guard serves to bulwark the defense of the innocent....in Paragon and the rest of the world.
(OOC)
Founded by three RL friends of long standing, TJG is a Medium RP centered, Bronze and Iron Age supergroup focused on characters and mutual character development, fun (paramount), and a feeling of family.
We're a revivified name within the records of Paragon's Elite SGs, but membership has grown at a fair pace and now with a medium but still growing membership we're settling down to not only focus on each other's enjoyment and experience both IC and OOCly, but on the development of our SG resources and activities. Our SG database and forums are accessible at The Justice Guard's website and we encourage any to come and say hello! We've a functional and expanding base with Medical, storage, Teleport and Invention capabilities that, while still in a transitional state, hopefully will become not only an expression of the SG, but the input of it's members. We're also aligned and coalitioned with some of the strongest, longest lasting, and plain old fun SG's on Virtue!
We're an inclusive group. Rper?....great. PvPer?...great. Just like to grind missions?....great. Our overriding goal is to supply a invested, interesting, involved and integral membership with the tools and opprotunities to not only enjoy and express their characters to the fullest, but to explore them, evolve them, and come away feeling like more than just a name on a roster. Quality and active members are our goal, not just large numbers, for the better interactiveness of all of us. Need friends at a certain time of day? People to team with for TFs or what have you? With our list of multi-time players and coalition members, you're not teaming alone; whatever the occasion.
At present there is no costume requirement, nor are members "required" to remain in SG mode at all times but it is requested that one does to help assist us in upkeeping a base that's both functional and complete for the enjoyment and convenience of everyone. As our experience together evolves, so might our needs but with communication and the investment of energy of our members, we're sure to come to terms with any changes, post haste.
With a focus on fun, character development, and the unity that is fundamental to a sense of family, the Justice Guard opens it's doors to any who would answer the call!
If you can stand with us against the onslaught and dedicate yourself to the ultimate defense of Paragon City and the world, come join the elite...the line in the sand that none shall pass.
The Justice Guard
IC INFO:
They say that it responds to need: a door of black-stained splintered oak, with hinges and doorknob of rust-pitted iron that somehow still turn silently and without effort. Above the door, an inscription in a tongue so ancient even the people of Mu thought it legend only: to those who remember, it is called "the Fortuitous Sanctuary".
The door is always the same, always appearing in answer to some dire distress. Merlin knew of it, and some say he'll return through it when his King calls him back. Ceasar discovered it, but refused its gifts and trusted his own destiny. Da Vinci, it is rumored, passed beyond its threshhold in his youth. Hitler sought it, but whether lack of worthiness or lack of necessity kept it from him, none can say. The Door keeps to its own rules, and has not always served the need of good men exclusively.
Jason Schwarz found it on the very same day the cultists of the Circle of Thorns came to murder him, the very same day the entity known as the Sturmlanzer made itself manifest through his body. At the edge of collapse, hopelessly lost in Paragon City's vast and labyrinthine sewer system with his pursuers not far behind, he discovered the Door where it shouldn't have been, and he risked an uncertain future rather than accept a very certain one.
The Fortuitous Sanctuary. The Door is always the same, but they say it's different inside every time, that it responds to the need that calls it. It's always a safe place to hide, but often much more. Jason Schwarz found a library, with many books that helped him understand who and what he had become, and the nature of his enemies. Others who he's brought since then have found similar boons.
They say it gives people what they need to cast aside their bitter fate and forge their hopes into realities. The price? One who rests within the Fortuitous Sanctuary finds his slumber extremely restful, but empty of Dreams. If he recieves visions in the night, they are uncannily accurate prophecies or instructions, although they often make little sense until an external context becomes apparent. It seems the cost of making your dreams Real is that they can't live inside of you any more, and even the hazy nonsense-dreams of ordinary slumber somehow become fuel for rewriting destiny. Once, Jason Schwarz dreampt of a world where ordinary people don't need to be afraid of capricious monsters and heartless titans, where the strong offer their strength to promote the benefit of the weak. Now, he does more than dream...
OOC INFO:
[u]Name[u]: The Dreamless Knights
[u]Currently Recruiting[u]: Currently recruiting new members, and looking for existing RP groups to coalition with.
[u]RP Level[u]: Moderately RP-ish... or something. Supergroup channel should be primarily IC, but so long as OOC is clearly marked as such, it's quite all right. Coalition channel will probably be the same, depending on who we wind up getting coalitions with, and what pre-existing rules they may have. Depending on player interest, I may be creating a secondary all-OOC chat channel for the group.
[u]Theme/Concept[u]: For RP fluff and base construction, DC-Vertigo's amazing Sandman comics will be providing a lot of inspiration, because the exploits of Morpheus and dark supernatural flavor of those stories are good fodder for suitably mysterious ambiance. But that's only the loosest guideline. By all means, bring your high-tech wizkid or bespandexed mutant or whatever, even if there's absolutely nothing vaguely occult about them. If nothing else, the Fortuitous Sanctuary is known to spontaneously generate a pretty good cup of coffee at around 2AM.
The main intention here is to construct a group for players who occupy off-peak hours, especially those of us playing after most of the server has gone to bed. It can be frustrating to join an RP group, and then never ever see any of its members because your play schedule is a little out of synch.
[u]Activity[u]: Currently, there's just me (as Sturmlanzer) with a couple alts. I don't anticipate this group getting too terribly huge, so membership is open to alts... provided that they're seeing some play. 20 days inactivity without prior notice (and saying "I'm gonna shelf this guy for a bit to play someone else" counts as prior notice) will see your character removed from the group. Activity, as noted, will be chiefly during off-peak hours, late nights and early mornings on weekdays. This group is for all the lonely ghosts who log in when everyone else is going to bed, and haunt the server until morning maintenance.
[u]Requirements for Membership[u]: Be some kind of RPer, with a character who's a city-registered Hero, and survive an IC interview with Sturmlanzer.
Please, no characters with ties to existing non-CoX fictional properties. Your D&D drow, World of Darkness vampires, highlanders, illegitimate offspring of Magneto and Xena Warrior Princess, etc... there are other, better places for them to find friends. Also, while most late-night players are probably adults, a more PG-13 playstyle is a lot more generally friendly. Excessive foul language, graphic sexual content, crude and offensive humor, etc. should probably be held in reserve... at least until we get a solid player base and figure out just what the bulk of our late-night population is comfortable with.
[u]Leadership[u]: Sturmlanzer, soon to be a few more. Promotions will be frequent, and largely based on an informal observation of organizational and conflict-resolution abilities. I want lietenants who can keep the peace, so that this group doesn't explode into the dreaded venomous OOC Drama.
[u]In-Game Contact(s)[u]: @Eisenzahn
[u]Out-of-Game Contact(s)[u]: Eisenzahn (forum handle), Euroclydon23@aol.com (e-mail).
[u]URL[u]: Currently in development! If I'm lucky, someone will join up who has stronger Web-fu than me and help out. If not, expect something pretty basic after Christmas.
[u]Coalition(s)[u]: None, but looking! Other RP preferred, of any sort.
[u]Other Details[u]: A strong encouragement to use Super-group mode until 25 probably goes without saying. TFs, Trials, and other large group content will be as frequent as we can arrange it... a big part of the idea here is to make that sort of group content available to players who are used to seeing the game alone.
