Questions

[Antaean]

I am a relatively old player who has just rediscovered the game still exists.  I used to play on the Champion server amd am trying to find out some things about this version of the game:

 

 - Are there many old (ahem, sorry...."Veteran") COH people playing?

 - How do we support the Devs? I.e. Is there a donation page or an in-game store or something where we can actively help keep this game alive?

 - Which is the current best server to use?

 - How many fingers am I holding up?

 - I am a returning tanker. I haven't searched the forums but Tanker Tuesday used to be a thing. Is it still a thing and if it is, what type of thing is it and where does it happen? 

 - Does anyone have any key tips (other than not eating yellow snow)?

 

Love and hugs,

 

Ant

In order...

1. Yes!  Absolutely!
2. We do take donations, but it's on a monthly basis, and a short window: we only accept enough money to break even, nothing further.  Once we have it, the window closes.
3. Depends on what you like:
   1. PVP? Indomitable.
   2. RP? Everlasting.
   3. Excelsior is the most popular one, so if Freedom was your jam during live, there you go.
   4. Torchbearer has been around the longest.
   5. Reunion is located in the EU for a better connection for our UK and European heroes.
4. Enbleven?
5. Depends on the server.  Some have it, some don't.
6. Our best advice lies in the Guides forum!

Welcome back, Antaean! 😄

**Edit:  Dang it!  @Tahquitz beat me to it!

Welcome home hero!  Glad you found your way back!

 

- Yes, there are LOTS of veteran players!  I'm one of them!

- Donations to the Homecoming effort happen on the last Saturday of each month.  There is an announcement when it starts made here in the forum, and in their Discord.

- Best server to use?  Depends on what you're looking for.  The highest population is on Excelsior.  However, if you're more into PvP, there is an unofficial server for that too (though I forget which one it is)

- Two fingers, of course!

- I have not heard of "Tanker Tuesday" being a thing, but I don't hear about everything.  If there isn't one, by all means, MAKE it a thing again!  Tanks are more powerful these days, so it would be pretty cool!

- Read the pertinent sections of the forums that deal with your preferred subject matter.  There are a lot of smart players, who love documenting their experience, and wisdom on the game.  It's worth the time to read their stuff!  Also, the Paragon Wiki page is still about 85-90% accurate, so it's still a resource, with a link right at the top of every forum page!.

 

Hopefully, that kind of covers your questions.  I'm sure others will chime in with more.

Thanks for the rapid replies and information/links. I will try and read up a bit before making my main again. I will no doubt need to figure out all the changeries and modificationisms that have occurred in the many years I've been away.

 

Freedom was not my jam for I was always Champion to my core. Champion was the toasty foundation upon which other jams could be spread upon, but nothing could prevent Champions toasty, solid and robust foundation being at the core of everything righteous and true. Or something along those lines. 😉

So, from the Champion Shard?
