I've downloaded Tequila and the client (on the laptop, will need to transfer it to other boxes) but have been waiting for the boy to come back to actually sign up and play. Have been trying to keep excitement to reasonable levels in case it doesn't last.

Yeah glad to hear it Cuervo. Some of my most favorite times gaming was when the FOBL/FOFC gang got together and played COH. I think the survivability depends on if everyone can keep their ego in check and not piss off NCSoft. This is the closest they have ever been to letting us have the game back, so I hope no one annoys them. It looks the code is out there though if this doesn't work out-I've seen on the reddit methods for getting the game to work as a single player/local server too. I feel better about its chances at survival then when I first heard about the code being leaked.

Over 22,000 accounts have been created! Over 47,000 characters have been made! It is the 15th Anniversary of CITY OF HEROES! The admins announced a DOUBLE XP WEEKEND on both private SCORE-servers to celebrate this event.
Yep there's two servers now

I think I might try playing at some point today. I've never played CoH before but this sounds kind of fun.

Its one of the very few games that I still have memories of eight years down the road. I can remember character costumes, powers I played, maps, missions, etc. Anyone that's a fan of superhero movies/comic books owe it to themselves to give the game a try. My advice for a first time character is not to fool around with costume creation because you could spend a couple hours there. Just randomize the costume and explore the game. Play as a hero first before trying a villain or Praetorian and just wander the streets in the zone you start out in.

Here are instructions for setting up your own server. I may do this just for solo play and as a backup in case this all gets shut down again.
Setting up a City of Heroes Server Using I25 Binaries - Google Docs

Talked to son today -- looks like he already beat me to making an account and logging in. Guess I might as well do the same.
Will have to check out the instructions for setting up a server (or, downloading the VM with a server on it). Of course, I need to figure out how to deal with a bittorrent first...

It took me a few tries to get the client installed, and now I've been queued up in Excelsior for the past hour or so, with another hour probably to go. Setting up my own server might be worthwhile just to get to play

I got in eventually and created a new character, which was awesome. So many great choices and customization's.
Played through a portion of the tutorial, so far I'm a little underwhelmed, though I think having to play on my little Surface Pro screen isn't helping. I'll definitely give it another go tomorrow to see if it grows on me more.

Yeah the tutorial isn't very noteworthy-get out into your first zone and do missions-don't be in a rush to get to your mission, soak up the atmosphere a bit (while bashing heads of course)

Got in after a queue of 550 (that went up to 900 after I joined it).
Fun, and nostalgic. But yeah, this is something I will definitely want to spin up fairly often (while not spending nearly as many hours in it as I once did). Now, I'm just frustrated with what I don't remember how to do. Like, create a new stat window that shows my influence earned, and xp to level.

Anyone tried the new Sentinel class? Kind of interesting. Basically a ranged Scrapper.

Thanks for the link. I'm really dumb with this stuff. Step 2 and 3 are confusing. Are there instructions for dummies lol?
Edit to add: When I run tequila is just seems to download for ever. I've left it for 24 hours now. I even closed it and restarted it and its still just downloading pigg files???

It took me two tries to get it done; I think mine timed out without giving me any warning. Try closing the Tequila app and re-opening it. It should resume where it left off.
Put together a quick Blaster (Radiation/Energy Manipulation) and screwed around for a little bit. Can't wait to get more time to dive back in. |

If you can use bittorrent to get the files, that was much quicker for me. The bittorrent address is included in that link.

Most are on the original server Torchbearer or the second one added Excelsior. The other two were added yesterday, and are probably the easiest to get into when dealing with queues. Edit; The only one with a queue at this exact moment is Torchbearer

Okay I have created Astronaut a Gravity/Force Field Controller on Excelsior. This was perhaps my most favorite character in the original game. Loved the costume in the original game, but was too impatient to go through the 2 million options that are available now, so settled on this look. He's lvl 1, and not planning on levelling him unless I with friends from here

Fire/Fire/Fire blaster (Blu Blazes) was perhaps the most fun of my characters to play. I may need to rebuild her should this last.

What server are you guys on? Should we do a Supergroup?
I have characters on all 4 servers (alt-aholic). I've been playing mostly on Indomitable and Everlasting, since they have double XP until Monday.

So, I made a Coffee Warlord, a mercenary for hire with his team of elite soldiers, trained in the coffee plantations of South America on Indomitable (a friend of mine is on there, and it's less slammed).

Mastermind wasn't a thing when I played way back when, and I can't find the answer to this.
Does anyone know if you have to individually buff each pet when you summon them, or does it work for all of them? Example: I have mercs. I use 'equip soldier' on one of them. The visual effects on both change, but I'm not sure if it really did buff both of them. |

I've been playing on indom as well. I still find it pretty hard to believe I'm Playing. So much came back like muscle memory.
I've got my brute up to 35 and various other too's from 8-24.

The best way to make sure is to click the arrow right next to your pet window. It shows all of their buffs. One of them should say "Equip" for each character.
