City of Hope was a Light main city which laid on the border of the Darkness and Light factions…
It was said that at the end of the God of Devils' battle, the Light and Neutral factions' allied army secured a great victory there and found hope of victory. Hence, it was named as the City of Hope and was also known as the City of God's Choice.
Because of this story, and on top of the great scenery and the largest church - Church of Dawn - outside of the Vatican City, a lot of players and NPC chose to hold their weddings there.
The layout of this main city was also very interesting. The entire city was built surrounding a mountain and right in the centre of the city was a mountain peak called the Peak of Hope. In the game's background story, it was called the Pillar of Hope and was a landmark of the City of Hope.
