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

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.

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.

Downloading it now. Hopefully it’s more like the early days of fire users.

Oh wow! I've always wasted to play this game.
