Ready for a Spring Fling? This year’s in-game event commences on Thursday, 14th February and will feature new content and the highlight of this year’s Valentine’s Day celebrations: the super-powered wedding of Manticore and Sister Psyche! Keep some time free this Friday evening from 6pm GMT and make sure you have the Training Room ready so you can be present for this historic event.

Just in time for the special celebrations, there is a new Wedding Pack available for purchase offering new costumes and emotes.

Manticore and Sister Psyche to be wed!

On Friday, February 15th, 2008 Paragon City will rejoice in a celebration of love and union between two of its luminary Heroes. Manticore™ and Sister Psyche™ will celebrate their devotion to each other with a very special live wedding ceremony to be held on the Training Room (test server). The Heroes will be controlled in real life by Sean Dornan-Fish, who you know as the persona behind Manticore, and his wife Jennifer Dornan-Fish. Matt “Positron™” Miller will be on hand to officiate the ceremony, along with many other signature characters from the City of Heroes universe.

Beginning at 6:00pm GMT on the Training Room, and repeating until 7:00pm, we will present the wedding ceremony live. We invite anyone who is interested to come out and partake in the festivities! However, please keep in mind that each presentation of the ceremony will only accommodate approximately one hundred participants. Gaining access to the wedding event will be simply the luck of the draw for those in the zone when it begins. Heroes and Villains, look for the ushers in Atlas Park and Mercy Island (there is one usher in each zone).

Spring Fling Begins

Valentine’s Day also kicks off this year’s annual Spring Fling event, including DJ Zero’s Pocket D Jubilee. Just head over to Pocket D, the space between Paragon and the Rogue Isles, where DJ Zero will be playing host again. Ganymede, Emissary of the God Eros, will be back, hoping to harness the primordial force of love, allowing Hero and Villain alike to lay down arms and join together to complete a host of missions.

Outside of the Pocket D, and in conjunction with the live Wedding event, players will find new Hero and Villain contacts in Atlas Park and Mercy Island. Sela Vermont, wedding coordinator of Manticore and Sister Psyche, sends Heroes on a special wedding gift reconnaissance mission while Zev Scalamore, under direction of Arachnos, enlists Villains to do his dirty work.

Event Timing:
Start: Thursday, February 14th at 9:30am GMT / 10:30am CET
Finish: Friday, February 29th, 9:30am GMT / 10:30am CET
