I voted 80%

And I bet some of the non-Chads who wear socks also wear Birkenstocks with said socks (and I bet they are on my lawn RIGHT now! Stop spilling your granola all over my lawn!)

*checks themselves for socks, nope, no socks. No birkenstocks either, what are birkenstocks? Dunno, probably not a good idea to inform either. Goes back to munching on granola in their own garden.* What a nice moon...

[Coyotedancer]

Based on observation and talking to people in-game... I'd say it's at least 75%, but probably not quite to 90%. There are a lot of family-and-friends of Live-days players around, including my own nephews and their mom, who weren't actually Live-days players themselves.

I am merely one data point of course but for my part I never played on Live. During the spring of 2020 I googled 'superhero MMO' and saw that a game called City of Heroes had returned. So I downloaded it. And here I am.

[lemming]

Pushing 60, but not bald, and currently wearing socks because the house is freezing.  And my name is a different four letter word.  (And yea, played in beta)

[Cancrusher]

I have no idea what percentage of players are from live and I wouldn't want to hazard a guess.

 

I can say that I never played during live but have played consistently since the first few months that Homecoming came online.  

[RogerWilco]

A lot of players I meet seem to have played on live, as did I.

 

But I have also recruited 3 people new to the game.

Look, monkey, I may have played on live, but I am not 45+, bald, named Chad, or presently sockless!

I played on Live, but my partner didn't. They do now though! They're mad keen on controllers, and we're currently duoing a stalker/troller duo from zero to fifty exclusivley teamed together and trying to stay as close to the same xp count as each other as possible (If I die, they groan bc I'm like 'Oops, I guess you gotta faceplant on purpose now!' - although we also sometimes do the 'run far away from teammate and defeat a few mobs to catch up' tactic for that as well).

 

It's the fist MMO they've got into, WoW etc never appealed to them. CoH is so solo-friendly and easy to run on a low-spec rig that it's, well, i'm preaching to the choir arent I? 😄

A better poll might be  "Did you play on live?" 

It would just be those that visit the forums, but it might give more information.

I played on live but only for two or three months before it shut down. It was so fun that I had to come back. I was still in middle school back then, so this game is definitely very nostalgic for me.

[Midnyte]

I voted 100%, but the poll is confusing. Where do we access the actual data to give an informed response? In my safe bubble, it seems bizarre to me that anyone would play here that didn't play on live. I mean, we're a bunch of nostalgic old folks living out our younger selves fantasies on a controversial server that may or may not exist. Do we exist? Are we relevant? Am I alliance? Am I a lion?  I don't think of myself as a lion. You might as well though, I have a mighty roar.

No; based on our telemetry data, I am the only person who actually exists and the rest of you are just figments of my imagination. Therefore, you should all treat each other as you would treat me.

[Gulbasaur]

We need a "yeah, kinda"... I played from like Issue 3 to Issue 6, so the invention system was all new to me. Also, any of the differences between F2P accounts and the subscriber reward stuff totally passed me by, so I don't know what was part of it and what wasn't. A couple of people on other servers complain about reward stuff being "just given to you" on HC and when I played it was all just there anyway. I unlocked Peacebringers, capes, auras all before, so for me it felt like picking up where I left off. 

 

Oddly, I've probably played on HC more than I did on live.

I just assume everyone playing, played on live.  I also assume we're all 45+ year old bald men named Chad, and we're not wearing socks. 

My feet get too cold without socks. 

[JnEricsonx]

Not 45 yet, not bald yet, definetely not wearing socks though.  Played 2005-2009.

[The_Warpact]

My VG total has 7 total, 6 from live and one new recruit.

There used to be 12 of us, we lost 5 due to rl commitments and our leader passed a few years ago.
