GR-related items outside of the game

Wish we had an updated manual + maps
Anything new in the manual compared to the original?
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
Hmmmmmmmmmm - there are actually four items in the box:
- GR quick reference card (folds out to 4 pages with info on front and back)
- GR quick start guide (20 page book with good info and a great AT matrix)
- Map of the Rogue Isles / Paragon city on one side, Praetoria on the other side
- Razor coupon
The guide is pretty spiffy and long overdue - Paragon Studios did a nice job recreating this. However, it probably gets overlooked by 'veteran' users (such as myself) BUT is a great resource for new folks.
Go Team Venture!
See, these are the kind of things that I buy boxes for. As the EU isn't getting one, I think I may have to get an american one shipped by someone for me. My CoH and CoV boxes have looked lonely for weeks now.
Could we get a scan of those new maps?

I'll see what I can do. They were folded pretty well, so I'm not sure I can get smooth scans...

I'm talkin' paying homage to past employees like Ex Libris and such. This whole expansion has me amazed. Right down to the instruction manual. They've not merely responded to Champions Online and DCUO; They've come at them with a full force I didn't imagine they had.

But then the EU doesn't need anything like that apparently. Because we're too 'internet savvy' and all that. :P
Would be nice if they could be available for digital download though.

On my wall, I've got the Paragon City map from CoH CE, the Rogue Isles map from CoV CE, the villains vs. heroes poster from GvE, and now the map of Praetoria from GR CC. (The old maps weren't updated |

)I tried getting a picture of my collection with my phone, but the camera is crap. I dug around the house to find my camera (which I... never use), but I neither have a memcard I can find, nor the cable to move stuff from the camera's internal memory. Frustrating.

On this particular point, I wouldn't worry too much. The Paragon City and Rogue Isles maps are the original versions. |

The Hollows doesn't even show up on the PC map, nor do the Green Line stops in Skyway or Founders' Falls. Peregrine Island isn't shown as a zone either.
And on the RI map, there aren't any ferry lines going to Grandville.

OK, my pitiful scanner is too small to get the maps scanned in. Someone else will have to do it.

I don't have a scanner that big, but I do have a camera. I took a picture of it at ultra high resolution and I've posted it here. Maybe someone with Photoshop skillz can clean it up. If so, I'd like to have a clean version to post on the Paragon Wiki. Maybe not at that high a resolution, but at least where the text is legible.
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.
(If you love this game as much as I do, please read that post.)

Although it just makes me more annoyed at the lack of a box release in the EU

There were ads in Marvel books too. It would be amusing if it was the case, but I haven't read enough comics from last week yet to see if DC got all Maelstrom ads and Marvel got all Desdemona ads.|

So who was saying GR wouldn't get advertising in comics from the Big Two?
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.

Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere...
- Nice to see Arcanaville mentioned in the 'special thanks' section of the Going Rogue manual that comes with the game
- Sad to see that the 'rocket launch pads' have been removed from the Paragon City and Rogue Islands maps
- Great to see the full page GR ads in DC comics this week, as well as the mega-advertising on the CBR website
