In this thread, let us discuss things we've only recently realized about this game which, in hindsight, should have been painfully obvious.
I have two to share, centered around Praetoria, to starts us off:
Praetoria is Cyberpunk! As of this post, it has been two days since I blinked and realized Praetoria is, in many ways, the traditional Cyberpunk Dystopia. Look on the Holographic computer displays and on occasion, you can catch a glimpse of gratuitous, pointless, Japanese characters (unless when combined with the binary all actually add up/translate to yet ANOTHER brilliant Easter Egg). Look at all the new factions, they all seem to have strong cyberpunk genre themes to them especially the moral relativity of everything. There's the 'currency' being 'information'. The signs and symptoms abound all over, and the only thing Praetoria lacks is an Internet network. (This is likely because the impossibility to regulate an Internet would be dangerous to Emperor Cole)
Tyrant's thing for Rome is part of the Parallel between himself and Statesman. (Who's a Greek fanboy). I only realized this about a week ago when this information's been around since I started playing more than two years ago.
City of Heroes is a game about freedom of expression and variety of experiences far more so than it is about representing any one theme, topic or genre.

Praetoria has an internet. Kids go to school online.
