I'm still at work, but was meandering around the Guild Wars 2 and saw a mention that CoH: Homecoming is now officially ok in the eyes of NCSoft. I hadn't tried any servers before because I didn't want to get invested in something that might just get yanked away again. I was heartbroken when NCSoft closed us down. I look forward to getting home and downloading the game again and trying to remake some of my old characters.

 

I just hope that my BFF Bobcat remembers me.

Welcome, Home!

 

You arrive in the midst of our Halloween event, a good time to quickly rise in the ranks.

As you're a former player, much of this linked below may be redundant to you, but I'll link these anyway in hopes of speeding your incorporation into our ranks.  The game has continued to evolve, and in some ways, streamline, so unless you've been doing a lot of reading, there's many new things to discover here.  (I personally like the "/ah" command to access the auction house from anywhere but bases.) Pay especial attention to the travel methods.  Homecoming has added ways to speed up travel.   These links do not include everything new, for examples: the recently added Labyrinth zone, the new co-op nature of Striga Island, and the added Doctor Aeon Strike Force on the City of Villains side.

And I'm her husband.  We're both coming back to the game for the first time since it closed.

 

So happy to be able to.

 

Thank you all for all you do.

 

(I've missed my warshade so much.  Can't wait to re-create her.)

That's awesome and super helpful. Are all of the original storylines/quests still there but with even more added? I had so much fun in AE that I made myself a "Cereal Killers" mission and my husband and I still occasionally quote "Two Scoops of Pain" based on the Raisin Bran character I made. It's going to be a lot of fun roaming around again.

Welcome, Home to you, too!  For all things Kheldian, I believe forumite and costume contest coordinator @Laucianna is usually whom people cite as the go-to expert if you need insight.  Apologies if I've stated in error, Laucianna.

I believe all the originals are still there.  There were, of course, changes made back in the Original Game (OG) as to whom would serve as contact for some mission arcs, and some zones "retired" to status of "echos" accessed by portal in the back of Oroboros, most notably Galaxy City and Dark Astoria with the former obliterated except for a new character trainer zone and the latter getting a complete overhaul with a darker, scarier story arc, but off the top of my head I don't recall any such switches in Homecoming, nor material pulled.    I suggest reading the Patch Notes to get a better feel for the changes.

I am a *little* obsessed with Kheldians as @Techwright says 😅 The guide in my signature will have all the information you could ever need for your Warshade and if you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to message me here, on Discord or in game @Laucianna 😄

Thank you so much.  I ADORED my original warshade.

 

And after I get Painforest (I got her name back again! Yay!) to 50, I'm rolling a warshade up immediately.

 

Edit - NEVERMIND.  I just realized I can roll a warshade immediately.

Yes, one of those nice streamlining features.

 

BTW, love your forum avatar.  "Heelund coos", as my late father always called them, are a family favorite.

Heh, thanks.  I googled 'highland cows in hats' one day, and this was the result.

That was us, too.  As soon as we saw the announcement from Paragon Studios that they were closing, I just couldn't bring myself to login for the last couple of weeks.

 

Thank you all for the warm welcomes & for all you do here.

We are all waiting to welcome you home.

If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

(It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications)

Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case.

But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable.

Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

Not that you shouldn't feel welcomed back, but bear in mind the only time the game has been yanked away is when it had official support...
