Use search. It'sa great tool... or you could jsut scroll down the pages. It's a fairly recent topic.
We pretty much know next to nothing about it. All we have is strong evidence that it is on the agenda.

Oh yeah great idea. I tried search and got 1,000s of responses with some huge threads that would take hours to read through and a lot of them didn't seem to have anything to do with CoH2. So yeah I took the 'lazy' route and just asked.

There's been no official confirmation that they're even working on it - NCSOft has just said that they have no comment to make at this time.|

Paragon Studios is working on something, apart from Going Rogue - but what exactly it is remains a mystery - for now

ok well, we know nothing, not even that is officially being worked on. we do know that a number of high ranking employees here have been moved to unspecified projects, and the name was registered, which could be a red herring , or it could be a smoking gun, like when tes fans found out about shivering islands long before it was officially announced. so speculation is pretty strong that it will be, but we know exactly nothing.
Thanks for serious answers. I've been away from the forums for quite some time now and wasn't sure what was up. Thanks again.
All that has happened is that they've registered the trademark.
This could mean it's almost ready to be announced or that they've decided to start thinking about it as an actual possibility somewhere down the line or anywhere in between.
Or maybe they just wanted the trademark for some reason.
My guess is, it's in the very very VERY early planning stages.
I personally hope they are working on COH2. It will have to happen sooner or later, or the franchise will die. And I happen to really like Paragon City, so I want it to stick around.

This is old news, Paragon Studios is now working on City of Heroes 3.

The only thing I hope is it doesn't end up playing like Champions. Just update City of Heroes.
i had been poking around and saw a DCUO gameplay trailer on youtube, and I honestly thought it looked like it was footage from CO...except the evil clown avatar the person was playing had some kind of wall-clinging ability that let him stick against a building. Which, granted, was pretty awesome to think about and something I hope a CoH2 would have.

True, as any Mender can tell you, it was the odd numbered CoHs which were best, with the pinnacle widely recognized as being CoH 15.

I thought 17 was the best. 15 was too Jenkins-centric. Sheesh. Everything's a Jenkins plot, my foot.

Look, it doesn't count as a plot when he bumbled in to them like an idiot. Plotting requires careful planning . . . or at least planning which is THOUGHT to be careful. Jenkins is as careful as . . . well, do I REALLY have to finish that analogy? Do I?!
See, that's why City of Heroes 15 was so amazing. Jenkins *seemed* like he could never plot anything, yet once you started turning over clues, there his plans were, under everything.

You didn't go all the way, did you? All of those end up just being mistakes. He literally FELL in to those so-called "plots" on more than one occasion . . . such as that time he fell in to the vat of Super Serum 23Xty-X!
Yes, I realize that a lot of the subtext insinuates that he had some sort of master plan, but the game-wide event that the Devs ran when they finally shut down the servers for CoX15 put all the theories to bed once and for all.
And don't even bring up CoX16! That's already been officially retcon'd from the canon. None of it happened. War Witch Junior made it abundantly clear in 2103 that whichever infinite number of monkeys they had hacking away on those infinite number of typewriters were properly euthanised before they could revolt and become the dominant species in the Mars colony.
