City Council Widower Posted yesterday at 03:12 PM City Council Posted yesterday at 03:12 PM Hello! It's taken a little longer than expected, but as of today we are pleased to announce that we have merged in Michiyo's Victory server as the sixth Homecoming shard. Victory will function exactly like the five shards you already know and love, just with significantly fewer preexisting characters. On that note, the name release system will not be activated on Victory for the time being. We hope you'll give them a big welcome! Questions Which I Anticipate You Will Ask Frequently: Is this the original Victory server from retail CoH? No. Does this mean we can get our characters from retail back? No. We have too many shards! Are there any plans for shard merges? No. Are any other servers planned to merge into the Homecoming cluster? There are no plans to do so. We're only able to bring Victory in because it kept up with our updates over the years. Due to the divergence between our codebase and those of other servers, merging them in as we have with Victory would likely be impossible. Thanks for reading! 19 2 1 3 1 1 1 "We need Widower.

XFarmer Posted yesterday at 04:43 PM Posted yesterday at 04:43 PM Cool, but is it an NA or EU server?
ZamuelNow Posted yesterday at 04:46 PM Posted yesterday at 04:46 PM Will they get a server forum? I see they aren't showing up on the Server Status side panel yet.

Display Name Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago How does "name release" work in this situation? Like, what if there are toons on the new server with names of other Homecoming toons? Also, welcome! @Super Whatsit Superbase passcode (Excelsior) is "passcode-6475" It's all a Nemesis plot. But not everything is a Nemesis plot!

Jacke Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago Cool, a new Shard! Created my Victory anchor Toon, created my Victor Supergroup and SG Base, levelled the Toon to 7 via the Atlas Park arc, and now parked for Day Jobs. Remember! Let's be careful out there!

Automnes Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I wished they could merge two servers because the low population, and you just adding another server...wtf... 1 1 2

I got that but "for the time being" means that it will come into effect and I was wondering how that's going to work. Another question would be why is there a name release if it can be turned off? Why not let players name their toons as they want? 1 @Super Whatsit Superbase passcode (Excelsior) is "passcode-6475" It's all a Nemesis plot. But not everything is a Nemesis plot!

Another question would be why is there a name release if it can be turned off? Why not let players name their toons as they want? If they turn it on at some point, there will be some names freed up for new chars. Fairly low population, so there might not really be that many names that would have been freed up anyway. I didn't get my "main" name, but I did get the SG name that I always try for first... 1
