CoH Up for Best "Classic" MMOG

[Harry_Canyon]

Just feel validated that we not only came out on top, but we thrashed WoW in a poll for once!  It took 15 years, but we did it.  We are truly heroic in tenacity and loyalty.

Just goes to show you, the CoH/CoV Community is unbeatable once we come together 😜

I'm surprised the voting is still open, but it seems like the CoH lead is probably insurmountable at this point.

That's cause we are awesome.

They don't provide any dates, but one of the other polls with CoH in it has been open since the 10th of Dec.

Did CoH dominate that one too, or did the word not get out soon enough? 😉

City of Heroes Revival

The honor of the top MMO news story of 2019 goes to the revival of beloved superhero MMORPG City of Heroes. It was a crazy year but no story lifted more hearts in the MMO world than the return of City of Heroes. Earlier this year it was revealed that there had been a secret server of City of Heroes and shortly after that the first new City of Heroes server open to the public opened up. Since then thousands of accounts have been made across a number of different servers. These servers have small groups of volunteer developers working on making improvements to the 15-year-old game and there are quite a few to pick from, though the most populated are part of the Homecoming group. City of Heroes makes the top of our list for being the story that has had the widest and most long-lasting impact. We can’t wait to see what the new year holds for the revival of City of Heroes.
