City of Heroes: Homecoming

[shadowofze]

City of Heroes/City of Villians, one of the first big MMORPG's that came out in the WoW era. For years after the game was sent into a free to play state and then quickly shut down by NCSoft I searched and scoured the internet for maybe a community revival. But I'd always get the same response. The original server code was never released to the public, therefore there is no way for a private server that functions to actually exist.

But just about 3 days ago I came across something...

Apparently. In a miraculous and almost unbelievable turn of events. There was a man who used to work at NCSoft. A former employee. He had a secret server running on the original code that only him and a handful of people knew about. He had run this server privately and secretly for years until it was leaked to the public a few weeks ago.

And with his code leaked. His server was opened to the public. And then a "fake" cease & desist from NCSoft dropped. So the server was shut down. Well, now there is a new server. One with over 3000 players. It's called City of Heroes Homecoming. And I couldn't help but let you guys know about it. I know, that on this forum "private servers" are not technically allowed to be discussed. But this game is not available in any other form currently.

TLDR; New City of Heroes/Villians Freeshard that is completely functioning now exists after years due to an insane turn of events.
