Right. I might start remaking some characters there. With the future of the servers so up in the air...*shrugs*.

My highest level character is on Torchbearer, but with as wide open and early everything is, I'm not married to it. Is Excel' supposed to be the informal RP server?

Dittoing basically everything Ocean said.
I really enjoyed getting to know a little about the other attendees, or making guesses based on their RP. I'd love to uncover more!

I'm interested, but depending on the time I could be fashionably late (Pacific time, here). And This will serve as yet another reminder to write a dang backstory post.
I don't know who I'll show up as, though. Might roll dice for that.

What Server are you on?

The short version is that there was a smaller community that had a secret, private server up for years. A couple weeks ago, a member of that server leaked it's existence. Since then, files were leaked giving anyone with access to the hardware and some coding knowhow the ability to host a server. Some folks started talks with NCSoft to try to negotiate rights to host/play the game without them issuing takedowns, all the while others have been hard at work spreading the files needed so that it would be nigh-impossible for NCSoft to put a stop to all private servers.
So right now we have CoH: Homecoming - the group who is running a cluster of servers using what is called "I25" - a version of the game modified by the secret private server group. It has some things that were in development at the end, and some power set combinations that didn't exist before for some archetypes. There is a Reddit-based community that is working on their own set-up based on the game as it was at the end, "I24," and a mostly 4chan group doing the same. There are instructions out there for setting up your own private server for a solo game, and some leads to build a small server for you and your closest friends.
I am in *checks notes* four Discord servers currently following all of this. CoH was my first MMO, and it's still a lot of fun. To update, I'm on Torchbearer and Excelsior, though I'm not on every night. If we wanna coordinate to form an SG, I'd be down with that.
