Ironblade Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 So I got an email about migrating my account to the Homecoming servers. What? Some server is merging with Homecoming? I haven't played on another server; why am I getting email about it? Originally on Infinity. I have Ironblade on every shard. - My only AE arc: The Origin of Mark IV (ID 48002) Link to the story of Toggle Man, since I keep having to track down my original post.

City Council Michiyo Posted March 4 City Council Share Posted March 4 Read the thread linked at the end of that email. If you got that email, you have an account on the "Closed Beta" server. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it used to have another name? I use a password manager RELIGIOUSLY and I can guarantee I have no account on any system named 'Closed Beta'. I still have my passwords from the original CoH because I just move defunct passwords to the 'Old' folder. Originally on Infinity.

American Decoy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 "Closed Beta used to go by Resurgence or Paragon." Ah! That explains it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarky Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Then it says I need to make a deposit, so they can transfer trillions in infamy from an offshore account. And they will kick me down 20 billion. I just need to help them out with some funds to set up the transfer. I am so lucky!🍀 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHiLLFiRe Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 So I got the following e-mail: New announcement: IMPORTANT: Homecoming account migration on April 2024! Yahoo/Inbox Closed Beta From:[email protected] To:me Sun, Mar 3 at 10:41 PM Short version: You need to link your Homecoming account before March 31st, 2024 in order to continue playing on this server. If you do not link your account to Homecoming, you won't be able to log in and may lose character items. We are migrating into the Homecoming servers hardware starting next month. In order to do that, we need to gather consent from players in order to move their data to the Homecoming servers; due to data privacy laws, we can't just copy everyone and figure it out later. Everyone who wants to keep their account intact needs to go through the Homecoming account linking process. If you have multiple accounts, you must link them each of them individually. How to create a Homecoming account: Follow the steps the Getting Started page at Homecoming. How to link your Homecoming account: Go to the Game Account page, and look at the bottom. You should see this section: Click the "Link Homecoming Account" button, and you will be redirected to the Homecoming forums to authorize the login. Click the button "Continue as (YOUR USERNAME)". You should be directed back to this page: Click "Back to Game Account" and now the bottom of your page should show your Homecoming account details: If you can see your Homecoming account details in there, your accounts are linked and you should test that you can access the Vanguard server. Do this for each account you have. Each account should be linked to a different Homecoming account. If you use the same Homecoming account, your characters will be merged into a single account, and you may lose items in your Email and Character Items, as only those in your first account will be retained. To unsubscribe from these announcements, login to the forum and uncheck "Receive forum announcements and important notifications by email." in your profile. You can view the full announcement by following this link: https://forums.cohcb.com/index.php?topic=30978.0 Regards, The Closed Beta Team. And I can't figure out what it wants me to do. The link takes me to a website that doesn't look anything like this website, which makes me not trust it for one. For two, I logged into my account on the forums, in game, and even on the launcher and I can't seem to figure out how to do this. In truth, I thought all of my accounts were already linked to a forum account. These instructions are very poorly written and they make little sense to me. Is anyone else having this kind of trouble? Or is this some kind of fishing junk mail scam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uranium Patriot Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 The website that it takes you to is the CoHClosedBeta website. Before it was Closed Beta, it was a secret fan server that used to go by Resurgence or Paragon. You probably had an account with them. To migrate your old character from the old Paragon Closed Beta server to the new Closed Beta Vanguard server you have to log into your Homecoming forum account that you want to use on Vanguard, then log into the CoHClosedBeta forum account and follow the instructions on the link. I was unsure if I wanted to do that, because I didn't remember what character I had there--I left that server, Resurgence, over 6 years ago. What I did was to follow their forum instructions to log into my old account--memories. I made the determination that, yes, I do want to migrate those toons. I then followed their instructions to flag my old Resurgence-Paragon-ClosedBeta account for future transfer to the new Homecoming Closed Beta Vanguard server. Is it confusing? Yes. But it will be worth it to me to have the old characters easily accessed via Homecoming's CoH launcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
