how to play city of heroes on homecoming

Just tossed in the dustbin.įor years afterward, whenever the game would come up in conversation, I would feel a twinge of pain. All the memories, all the colorful characters (affectionately called “toons”), the rich worldbuilding, the stories, the battles won and lost, all gone. I know there are many things to cry about in this world, and a game is not usually one of them, but the tears came all the same.

I remember leaving my friend’s house, getting into my car, and bawling my eyes out in the cold-and I wasn’t even a regularly active player at the time. I logged in, ran around for a little while, and finally picked a spot to bid farewell to not only one of my favorite characters but also the game itself (more on that below).

The servers were due to shut down at midnight. In a move that many (myself included) found particularly callous, NCSoft decided to kill the game, despite its popularity with die-hard fans. The community had held out hope that the beloved MMO would find a home, or at least some way to keep running. I went over to a friend’s house to say good-bye to one of my favorite games of all time: City of Heroes/Villains. November 30th of 2012 was not a good night.
