Important changes will be announced on the project discord or the VirtueVerse main page. You agree to be bound by any changes to this page (which is a protected page and not publicly editable).

Description of Service

VirtueVerse currently provides free wiki hosting for character related content for the online community of the Virtue server for City of Heroes/Villains (CoX). VirtueVerse's content is made freely accessible for informational or entertainment purposes to anyone with a connection to the World Wide Web.

VirtueVerse Content

VirtueVerse is a hosting provider, and takes no responsibility for the content uploaded by third parties. VirtueVerse's designated agent will act to remove copyright violations in a timely manner following the receipt of a DMCA takedown request.

VirtueVerse is provided "as is". VirtueVerse has no responsibility for lack of availability of any particular content. You should be aware that the wiki is editable by any member of the public who registers, and, as such, may contain inappropriate content at any time.

Any use you make of content hosted by VirtueVerse must be in line with the terms of our license. Most of VirtueVerse is available under a Creative Commons License and requires the permission of the owner for reproduction.

Any content you upload or post to VirtueVerse must be compatible with the relevant license and not violate another person's intellectual property or infringe on any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other proprietary rights. No content shall be added which violates any applicable law, including local, state, national, and international laws.

No content shall be added to VirtueVerse that is tortious, threatening, harmful, hateful, unlawful, libelous, defamatory, harassing, abusive, fraudulent, vulgar, obscene, contains viruses, or is otherwise objectionable or potentially damaging, as reasonably determined by VirtueVerse or our hosting provider. However, please be aware that wikis may still contain content of an adult nature, or content that you may find offensive.

Any content on VirtueVerse is the responsibility of the person who uploaded it or added it to a wiki page. VirtueVerse does not control the content and does not approve the content before it is published. Although VirtueVerse is not obliged to do so, VirtueVerse, or its designees, has the right to remove any content for any reason, including but not limited to a violation of these terms of use.

Page histories and mailing list archives are archives as defined under the US Copyright Act.

Collection of personal information

Information from our server logs may be stored and used to gather aggregate data about users, and used to determine whether the identity of one or more users is the same in cases of abuse. This data includes your IP address, and details about your browser.
