Oubliette_Red Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 The TL;DR version In 2012, CoH was shut down by it's parent company NCsoft Shortly thereafter, the rogue server came into being and was held a closely guarded secret with invite only access Some years later, existence of the rogue server became common knowledge (to those that paid attention to news about CoH). There was a lot of screaming and gnashing of teeth CoH game/server code got leaked into the wild so the anyone and everyone could run their own rogue server. This would also make it difficult for NCsoft to squash since there were now numerous servers running. Homecoming (HC) was one of the servers that was born of this. They then spent years working with NCsoft to legitimize their existence which finally happened this year. The HC devs themselves as well as all the mods are volunteers that have worked countless hours to continue the unique world that is CoH. 6 3 2 Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greycat Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Yeah. Be cautious about Reddit. There are some who consider HC - and SCoRE - and anyone associated with or even mentioning them to be baby-murdering puppy-kicking evil and will just attack you. 1 Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado. Former creator of Copypastas. General smartalec. I tried to combine Circle and DE, but all I got were garden variety evil mages.

Krimson Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 It's funny checking the post history of the butthurt Redditors. They always seem to act surprised every time a community bans them, wondering why no one sees them as being as wonderful as they claim to be. Reddit is full of comedy gold. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MassivelyOP is very supportive of COH and tries to be neutral and supportive to the installs and successor efforts like city of titans and ship of heroes.

It have me something to do for 8 boring hours at work 🙂 ....SO many people tried over the years to get COH back. I had a spreadsheet from about August 2012 through January 2019 where I tracked any article, forum post or interesting internet find about the shutdown, spiritual successors, coh lease/buy efforts, original devs popping up or just interesting things. Then I was dumb and deleted it and 'moved on'.... There was about three efforts that sputtered out before Score happened.

As for the original topic and the reddit-rage, I must admit that I really don't mind having joined the party a few years after it started. This allowed me to enjoy a mature, well developped server. And since then, the party and the alts just kept going! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
