Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Never played it but i am happy for the fans. I wish this would have been possible with Tera 😭

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

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.

[–] Omgarm@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.
