Wow will we ever get our old chars back again?

[Smoke Ring]

I cant believe I am running the streets of COH after all these years.... I had the second max stone troller on the server, and I wrote a all human guide for the squid. I played from beta for about 2 years.

Crazy being back in.

On the Homecoming servers, we will not get our old characters back, unfortunately.

 

Some other servers out there offer character imports from the old Sentinel+ system that was popular near shutdown, others will provide level and gear boosts. On Homecoming, all you get to keep from the old days is the knowledge you accrued.

[Abraxus]

Welcome back!  It's great, isn't it?

 

I wouldn't count on getting your original characters back.  That option was bandied about at the beginning of this whole resurgence of the game, and I believe it was decided against for a number of potential legal, and privacy issues that would unnecessarily increase the risk of losing our game again.  So, we pushed forward with new characters/accounts.  It's been a blast redoing all of that early level stuff, being totally broke again, and having to build up your fortune from scratch.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the journey this second time around, and I intend to keep enjoying it with each of the many characters I have created/re-created here!

I'm given to understand by people who'd have reason to know that even the private server whose leak started the whole thing no longer has access to those original character files. Any new invitees there have to start over from the beginning now, too. My suspicion is that the existence and availability  of that file could be a sticking point in any negotiations for the continued future of privately-run public servers--not a lawyer or anything, but I know Europe has some pretty stringent corporate privacy laws, and even if the file doesn't include any personally identifiable information its availability could still very well be legally actionable to the tune of millions of Euros.

 

While I would certainly hope we could regain access to those old toons, I'm not holding my breath. I wouldn't be surprised if the destruction of that file was a necessary precondition to allowing servers like Homecoming to exist going forward. And if that was the case, I'd be disappointed, but I'd gladly give up all those older characters if it meant I could make and keep newer characters going forward. I can make them better with what I know now, anyway. :)

LOL, best answer of the week award! That cracked me up, man.

[Liam1986]

I'm offering 500mil just for my old name on Indom server trust me...I'm commited to seeing my old char again.

[Faceless One]

With regards to not being able to get our old characters back. is that the reason why the names are taken? like I tried to recreate my character from the old days but the name was taken. They are there some where in the database as being used but we cannot get them due to us not having our old logins?

[ranagrande]

No, it means that someone else has created a character with that name.

[Clave Dark 5]

Short answer, no.

 

Long answer, no.

 

Really, a simple "/jranger" would have taken less time to type.

[Jeneki]

Think of it this way: if we ever get access to the character database, someone will reveal everyone's secret ERP costumes, and nobody wants to see that.  :P

[Smoke Ring]

I actually have my old Name, but who would want Smoke Ring anyway  ;D

[Shinobu]

Short answer, no.

 

Long answer, no.

 

Don't you mean "Long answer, nooo."?

I felt the same way when I logged in for the first time.

Why not?  I've been wearing mine to Rikti mothership raids.

[PaxArcana]

I would love, LOVE, to have my old characters back somehow.  Especially with some of the time-limited badges I'd earned (like attending the Wedding).

 

Sadly, I don't expect it to ever happen.

[Zep]

Char back would be nice.

 

Getting all my original costumes back I'd be pretty happy about.

[Primantis]

The good news is things are pretty accelerated on this server.

 

It only took me a week or two to get my Main back up to speed; and this was near launch. Should be even easier now with a  functional and well stocked AH

Same!  I was crazy for badges when they first introduced them, all I did for months was print locations and go get them.

LMAO!  Now that made me laugh!  Good one, Shin!

Then what would be the medium answer?  :o ;D

[Chance Jackson]

I really wish the original score team had allowed the character Data to escape into the wild before contact with NCsoft occurred.

[Vanden]

Short answer, no.

A ghost told me the answer is no.

Short answer: No.

Medium Answer: Hell no.

Long answer: What part of "hell no" did you not understand - the kerning, perhaps??

[Healix]
