City of Heroes is a MMORPG (Massivly Multiplayer Online Role Play Game) set in the fictional localle of Paragon City, on the eastern seaboard of the USA. It is populated by hundreds of players, each of which as their own, unique hero (or heroine). However, a city filled with heroes is only half of the story. The city also contains a number of gangs, criminal organisations, and even aliens from another world, giving the heroes within plenty of scope for battleing evil!

Well, at least that's a very breif summery of what the game is! For a more in-depth description, and a fictional timeline and list of events, check out the European City of Heroes site...
