This is a know bug that sometimes occurs when your computer is out of sync with the server.
It's happened to me a couple times.
There are a few work arounds zoning sometimes works, typing /sync sometimes works, having a teammate teleport you sometimes works, or just waiting.
Sure there wasn't a zombie invasion going on?

The sky wasn't the dark orange color, so I'm pretty sure there wasn't a zombie invasion going on. Also, I ran around so much of SC looking for mobs, I surely would have stumbled on some zombies, if there were any there.

Also, was there a Halloween event going on? The banner events clear out all mobs but for the banners, so that could be it. Check to make sure you can receive Hero Alert Messages to help you out there, but you can also hear when the event triggers (musical intro). The sky also goes all gray and cloudy, which is different from the usual starry sky you get in Paragon City (other than Croatoa, of course).

Note that there is another event, called "supernatural activity" in the alert channel. All mobs are cleared for these events as I said earlier, and you can only fight things at the banners. Even then, you have to wait a few minutes after the event starts for mobs to appear. You could have had a sync error, but I'm more inclined to believe it was a banner event.

That must have been it - it makes sense. I did look in the General channel for any notices, but I guess the notice could have been issued just before I got to SC. I didn't notice that the sky looked any different, but I didn't look closely - just noticed that it wasn't the orange color that I see during other events.

Be sure to check your chat tab, and have "Hero zone event messages" enabled (it's something like that, I might be off in my wording a bit). That will show you whenever an event is starting for the hero zones, no matter what zone you are in (so it wouldn't matter what zone you are in, you will see it in your chat... I have both villain and hero zone alerts enabled for all my characters so I can now what's going on and decide to switch if I want).

I was on my lowbie tank in Steel Canyon Thursday, around 7:00 ET, and there were no mobs anywhere on the street. It looked like we heroes had finally cleaned up the city! (I tried zoning out and back in, but still no mobs.)
After about 10-15 minutes of running around looking for mobs, and submitting a bug report, they suddenly reappeared.
Ah well, the game wouldn't be much fun without mobs to bash!
Anyone else see this?
