Never played it but i am happy for the fans. I wish this would have been possible with Tera 😭
I played during beta. It was fun, but very buggy and any homage creations too close to licensed characters was an instant ban. Lost interest, but always cheered for them.
Ross Scott is going to he be happy about this.
But this movement is still needed.
Pretty stoked for this. The superhero genre seems strangely missing in gaming, barring IP related projects connected to DC and Marvel. This came the closest to matching the thrill of being a superhero, when it came out. Character creation was amazing, too
Marvel had a GREAT online game a decade ago, but shuttered it with no explanation
I used to play this game so much as a kid. That’s pretty fucking sweet, I might check it out
I sank so much time in City of Villains and a bit in City of Heroes. Great to hear the fans achieving this! I looked into playing it again a few years ago but I don't have MMO time/energy anymore.
Actually fuck it, I just downloaded it.
These games are more fun with friends. Try and find a guild
GameFAQ’s?
I was around on GameFAQs yeah.
I had a feeling when I saw the name, I vaguely seeing you on boards like POTD.
Wonderful news! I have never played and don’t intend to, but I’m happy for everybody involved.
Let’s hope the team will lead with example and that this event opens up for the possibility for other online games to be preserved in a similar fashion.
Downloading it now. Hopefully it’s more like the early days of fire users.
Oh wow! I've always wasted to play this game.
Well, now is your chance.
Go hunt. Kill skuls.
