Which city zone is that on the temporary splash graphic? The building at the lower left is familiar, but I don't recognize any of the other buildings.
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
Dammit, need to wait to get home to check it (the brilliant firewall at work blocks the main page and not the forums hehe)

looks a bit like Steel Canyon, but I'm not sure if it's actually the zone, or just a rendition of it.

Well if it's just half as cool as the "Coming Soon" page, it aught to be pretty slick.

What's really nice, is on a larger screen format, you get a larger picture.
My laptop has a 13" screen, but my Desktop has a 15".
Wish I could run home and see it on my 21"

Yeah, you can't see Sister Psyche's or Ghost Widow's boobs on a small screen.

Really nice site. I already like it better than the old one.
I did notice that at http://www.cityofheroes.com/game_inf...y/longbow.html it says; "Viewed by Recluse as a mere annoyance, the Longbow units slowly hope to establish control over the many contested islands just off the coast of Paragon City."
I really believe that this should read; "Viewed by Recluse as a mere annoyance, the Longbow units hope to slowly establish control over the many contested islands just off the coast of Paragon City."
Also at http://www.cityofheroes.com/communit...nswerving.html it shows a guy holding a Blackwand above his head. With the latest change to emotes this action is no longer possible in game. I don't know if you guys care about this little detail, but maybe you don't want to show a screenshot of someone doing something that is now impossible for them to do?

I will not be sucked into that hope!
Gee I really hope so. 
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
One of the consequences tho, is my RSS reader just alerted me to new announcements, dating back to 22 September 2008.
The server status page, anyway of making the graphics smaller so the servers show up quicker?
Is the server status page using the same code as previous, so those of us that have it on our fansites aren't going to get broken Java?
Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.
The main page seems to be up and running now. Links and all.
Wow, that was fast.

Very nice!
Wow! I love the new website. It's so cool.
A question though: the www.cityofvillains.com/ site currently redirects to the main CoH site, will there eventually be a CoV site again?
But I'm still having a problem with the updater looking for cityofheroes/beta/eula.html and apparently not finding it.
Any fixes?

Also, nice page at /trial

Pretty sure that one isn't new, just not well publicized. And re: Vega--she's there.
[/ QUOTE ]
Hmm, maybe it will be fixed later. I go to site, click forums, I get the Posi pee pee banner. I click the bug that used to take me to "cityofvillains.com" and end up at the front page again. I hope allow me to keep my red border and Villains on top.

If you follow the one link down below for a /forums, you can get to a look of the 404 page.
It has a copy of the background sans-text (though smaller).
