Captain Blaze Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 So like many I used to play CoH but then the idiots in charge shut it down, now I hear of rogue servers where you can still play CoH, is that true?

How or where would I start? Yes it is *and has been* back on a number of independent and volunteer ran servers. The forum for one of those servers, (that you are on right now) is the Homecoming server, who opened its doors back in April of 2019. Homecoming has made a number of updates from the last publicly available OuroDev fork of Issue 24 and its currently in its Issue 27, Page 3 iteration. 1 I lead weekly Indomitable Badge Runs Best Post Ever....

DougGraves Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Welcome back. As hard as it is to believe, it is back and feels the same as when it left. There are updates. Somewhere there is a list of changes. You have unlimited character slots for one. Bug fixes, new content, new powersets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Talon Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Probably totally gratuitous advice and pointers, but just to note - the population on Homecoming is, quite obviously, a fraction of what CoX was during its heyday in '04-'06. Consequently, team-ups are a somewhat more difficult arrangement than previously, though, with time and effort, you can likely put something together. Another point is that mission that are labelled "necessary for multi-players to complete" are now such in name only - i.e., in the mission descriptions, which remain unchanged; recognizing the difficulty of regular, not to mention ad hoc, team-ups, the HC Devs have reconfigured all of these to be complete-capable by a single player. Finally, the HC Devs hold, on Discord at the end of each month, a volunteer drive to raise the funds to keep this community project alive for another thirty days. I still find it a source of amazement - heroic in its own right - that so many people would be willing to contribute so much time, energy and effort just to keep an online game engine alive. I imagine, Captain Blaze, that you have felt - and still do feel - it yourself, along with the rest of the contributors to this thread and this site: Saving lives, purely virtual as they may be, lets us know we can summon up at least that much good will inside ourselves, and maybe - just maybe - bring it out for a moment's view in real life.

Nothing of accounts or characters was saved from the retail servers. "It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

How or where would I start? Welcome back. We have a small but fanatical community. The Dev team here is volunteer but is still putting out (very) high quality content. Not at the speed of a corporate staff but steady. And better. In my opinion Excelsior is the busiest of the servers. Three years or so in and people are migrating there for greater teaming opportunities….which exacerbates the issue and creates another wave of….people moving to Excelsior Good Luck! There are a lot of good players in the game and the community is top notch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
