I loved this game. Played that shit out of it after getting burned on other early MMORPG’s like Earth and Beyond.
This was my gateway MMO. Great game back in the day
I love this game, but the one I loved more was city of villains. Fun as hell with a bunch of friends.
Yeh well it is an mmorpg from the same era as WoW. So I would guess the servers are dead.
A pretty good game actually. Lots of freedom on your hero. Expansion even added so you could choose to be the villain. Gameplay were pretty much WoW.
RP servers still exist.
Goodwill has no scruples. They sell all kinds of useless shit that can’t be used at all or is straight up broken.
They provide a lot of great services in communities, but their stores are not one of those services. They shovel anything of value onto their website where they over price them. It is a way they’ve increased the profit margin on the stores. I worked for Goodwill of NE for a few years when they were beginning this transition with the stores and it seemed shitty then. It’s only become worse since.
Now I want to play Freedom Force too
Best character customization ever.
There are still private servers going, not sure how active though
City Of Heroes Homecoming has been live for years. It has the blessing from NCSOFT. It is the most active City Of Heroes Private server! For when you get that nostalgia itch. There are other servers like Thunderspy and Rebirth but City Of Heroes Homecoming is the most active and it gets updated alot. I would link it but im sure its against the rules on this Reddit.
🙂
I actually went through the process to play on the private sever a few months ago. It was heartbreaking how empty and quiet it was. I played for about two hours and uninstalled.
It’s been a minute
I remember being recruited by a hero dressed in some sort of black ninja cultist outfit with orange trim.
He was trying to recruit members to group called the Dark Zodiac where we all dressed in that same uniform with our own secondary color choice, and picked a month of the year for our name. He was Black September and I took Black November. I had black and purple colors like a true badass.
We got a couple of other people to join our dork troupe and had a blast dorkin’ around in our matching outfits, but I don’t think we ever filled out the calendar…
Good times.
….*but also why months and not the actual zodiac signs..?*
Man, that was my first. I made so many fucking mistakes playing that game. I fucking got max EXP debt at level 32 because I kept dying to the blob in the Rikti War Zone. I still wish an MMO had a class similar to City of Villains Mastermind class.
This was a game that had so much undelivered potential.
A solid premise, good character customization, a wide world to interact with… but not actually much TO interact with. Add on to that the fact that the missions were mostly identical, and the combat was shallow.
There was storytelling external to the game that was intended to have tie-ins with the game world, but that amounted to essentially nothing.
That didn’t even leave enough active interest from the people playing for spontaneous communities to form at the level needed.
Maybe it got better as the years went by, but I couldn’t stick around for it.
My 1st MMoRPG experience. Was awesome fun. Played the shit outta this as Heroes and Villains.
Probably the best SuperHero game ever made but the amount of times it was sued by Marvel/DC because you can make a metal claw/regen power character which just happens to resemble some other X character was crazy. That game probably spent more in legal fees then game development.
Also one of the few times when you had ingame issues with the world generation(missions were randomly generated dungeons) where a GM would actually physically manifest and help you if you had a hidden enemy objective. Sometimes was easily missed and they helped still. Nicest GM’s basically.
I was subscribed to their newsletter long before the game actually came out, and because I was following it for so long they were cool enough to send me the install file for the beta when it released. Didn’t have the system requirements to play it 😭. I didn’t know anything about computers back then.
This game was absolute fire. Loved it.
Officially it’s been dead for over a decade. Unofficially, there are servers NCSoft is willing to ignore.
This took me to GW and that took me to WoW circa 2006. Man. What I would give.
Awesome game, the very first game to give me real vertigo. I remember jumping from buildings or flying in this game and nothing was like it.
Holy crap. I think I still had dial up when I played this
The Uranium Roach!
God I miss that character.
A junkie that stole an briefcase from a scientist and shot up its experimental content in a dumpster in a back alley.
That was a fun game my second mmo after motor city online
I really do miss CoH/CoV
I had a bunch of time in this game. I played a controller named “Algebra Man”. He would confuse enemies by shouting equations at then, which would take them out of the fight. Lots of fun.
Fuck I’m old.
I played this game when I was younger. Fond memories.
The MEMORIES
Loved this game
Ah another wonderful NCsoft let go of. I still got my Wildstar discs…
Wow memory unlocked. This and toon town was my first experience for MMOs
God I loved that game… it was grindy as all hell, but the concept of making your own super hero and just going around and using your powers was awesome.
It bothers me so much how we don’t have anything like that today, given how popular it was.
I remember creating all the X-Men as close to true form as the editor would allow, then a few months in they would ban my character for copyright reasons. Still worth it.
Just so everyone knows, there are several really good private servers with fairly active communities. The largest is called Homecoming and takes like a half hour to download and setup.
Did it come with any Heroclix?
*EverQuest has entered the chat*
I recently found one of the original still sealed comic books they sent out with your monthly subscription. I wish more mmos had gone to that level of community involvement
Try Star Wars Galaxies 😉
I interviewed for a job for this game. I was in college at the time. Failed interview, but managed to to maintain a job in game development for almost 17 years now.
Look up Cory of heroes homecoming. I played yesterday. You’re welcome
I miss that game
