On characters: “I am getting lots of pushback about releasing both in and out of SCORE because players don’t want ‘their’ characters to be available to anybody. “I want servers with the specs I listed to get a playable shard out ASAP so the trolls die already.” Leandro has commented on the COH Discord tonight about the state of the handover, specifically noting he’s waiting for other folks to provide the hardware so he can get them what they need to get it all running. What is happening to the actual existing SCORE server and the people on it and their characters? Is that over? What is being done specifically to ensure that the code remains with the community in some way forever? Like, what if everyone with a copy gets hit by a bus? I assume that anything regarding the character info will be dealt with at a later date! We don’t have the character database, in any case. He’s not really involved at all at this point. I don’t want to speak for Leo, but I believe personally that he intends to give it back to us in a way that ensures we get our characters and not characters belonging to other people. It’s just the server code as far as we know. That seems to go along with what Leo would want.Īs for the characters, the person holding the code does not have them. It’s up to the community to do with it as they see fit. That seems to be the most satisfying approach. MassivelyOP: Are multiple people receiving all of the files, such that multiple people can independently host the game? Or is this one of those things where everyone’s getting a different thing and only with their powers combined can a server actually be run? Is it going to be possible for anyone to access all or part of these files? Or is it going to be passed only to specific person or people vetted to run a community server?Įveryone will have access. Last night, it became clear that was a real and possible solution to the drama unfolding.Īhead of the drop of the files, we spoke to the anonymous Discord participants who were apparently given the code to clean up and roll out to the public. It’s all part of a story we’ve been covering all week, as information about a secret City of Heroes private server was leaked across the web and the community agitated for its purveyors to disperse the code to everyone, not just the chosen few.
It also doesn’t contain the mission files or NPCs, but it’s a big piece of the puzzle for reverse engineering the game that no one but Leo had before.” “Like 300 people congregated there and now the files have spread like wildfire. “It was uploaded onto a Discord server someone started who we don’t know,” a Discord source familiar with the situation just told me.
Well, you wanted the City of Heroes private server code, and you got it. (This article has been updated since publication updates are at the bottom!)
