Stitchified Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just had one big question, is the server going to be staying the way it is? or is it safe to expect a server wipe in the near future? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalerenn Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 As far as I'm aware, this is a temporary deal in the run-up to an official server, but don't quote me on that. I'm not entirely sure myself, and would like to know as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_NOPE_ Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 This is all temporary until either A) NCSoft gives the thumbs up, or B) we have a stable server in some country that doesn't reciprocate laws with the US and Korea. So, until one of those two things happen, don't get too attached and enjoy the ride while you've got it! :) 1 I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Play Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 It's not like NCSoft has defended their trademark over the past six years. And, they would have to prove loss, if they sued anyone. Since they voluntarily shut down CoX, they would have shaky legal legs to try to make anyone shut down a private server unless they could prove it used stolen code. 1 -------------------------------------- Power Play on Guardian - Liberty Eagle and Stars 'N Stripes on Virtue - Vergeltungswaffe on Virtue CoV ---------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how any of that works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Game Master GM Xellx Posted April 25, 2019 Retired Game Master Share Posted April 25, 2019 Good Morning I can not say of the outcome of this server - But please take in account that wipes are LIKELY to happen due to the nature of the situation the dev team are having as of late. They will notify annoucements down the road - as of now, this is a test server. Quote from discord: TempestToday at 12:33 AM - "Are our characters going to be wiped on this test server?" Probably? We're not sure. We're not running this server, but the assumption is not to get attached to any characters you make right now. Stay tuned for more info! Cheers GM Xellx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Play Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 On 4/25/2019 at 4:34 AM, randomx said: That's not how any of that works. Sorry this took so long, but I don't visit these forums regularly. Actually, that's EXACTLY how that works. IP/trademarks are active for three years after the last use. After that, they are considered abandoned. After that, the previous holder has to file a petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, to reinstate the trademark. NCSh*t did NOT have a trademark on City of Heroes until they reapplied for it, on May 12, 2023. There was no reason for anyone to negotiate for rights to use the names and IP at any time during the period 30 November 2015 (three years after the IP went inactive (servers shut down)) to 12 May 2023. All anyone would have had to do is apply for the trademarks for themselves, during that time period, and NCSh*t wouldn't have any rights to their use. NCSoft Application Information for "City of Heroes" trademark: US Serial Number: 97934673 Application Filing Date: May 12, 2023 US Registration Number: 7348950 Registration Date: Apr. 02, 2024 Status Date: Apr. 02, 2024 Publication Date: Nov. 21, 2023 Notice of Allowance Date: Jan. 16, 2024 1 1 1 1 -------------------------------------- Power Play on Guardian - Liberty Eagle and Stars 'N Stripes on Virtue - Vergeltungswaffe on Virtue CoV ---------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Ronin Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 You necroed a five year old thread just to try to win an argument over IP law that is now completely redundant since Homecoming is now officially licensed? Really? 9 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shortguy on indom Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Rumor had it that 30,000 forum responses were deleted from a server housed in a closet, or was it a broken laptop? This one was 'found.'

SeraphimKensai Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Attention: Please seek immediate shelter. Shelter in Place. The Battalion have been spotted incoming and are wiping the servers as this warning goes out. They will wipe out memories of this event. They may roll back everything to before we became cognizant of the fact this is all a simulation. In that case. Expect a rollback to 10 seconds ago.

Sovera Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Laughs aside I don't think I'd hate one server dedicated to being wiped every 3-6 months. Start fresh with the others, economy set apart from the regular servers, everyone on equal footing instead of the billionaires VS the casuals. 1 - Simple guide for newcomers. - Money making included among other things. - Tanker Fire Armor: the Turtle, the Allrounder, the Dragon, and compilation of Fire Armor builds. - Tanker Stone Armor: beginner friendly (near) immortal Tanker for leveling/end-game and Stone Armor framework. - Brute Rad/Stone and compilation of Brute Stone Armor builds.

Krimson Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Regular server wipes would also be great for clearing up the glut of players that lag up the servers. Not to mention all those laggy bases that would be wiped along with their respective super groups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
