Paragon Studios and the City of Heroes dev team have announced that the process has started to reactivate all retired accounts prior to the launch of the Freedom iteration of the game. Accounts are being reactivated to give former players a chance to check out City of Heroes: Freedom, the free to play version of the game. In addition, players will be able to get a look at all of the changes to the game since their last log in. Read more about the reactivation campaign, grab links for download, and more on the City of Heroes: Freedom forum. Thanks to Montaronx for the tip! Associate Editor: MMORPG.com |

Chaos is niether good, nor evil, but is at the very core of everything. |

Same same. Couldn't manage to even pay for my account when it first went live either. Originally posted by Deleted User So much of the game is centered around forced grouping that soloing is not an option, major design flaw in my opinion. ^ |

Well, a lot sure has changed. I'm enjoying this a lot, though it does feel pretty dated. Originally posted by Deleted User So much of the game is centered around forced grouping that soloing is not an option, major design flaw in my opinion. ^ |

WIN! Just wish I could use my Masterminds.. I mean I bought CoV seperate, and Going Rogue seperate. Seems like it'd be something to give returning players. Oh well. As long as it doesn't cost >10 bucks to unlock.... /holdsbreath I used to play MMOs like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. |

while our laws prevent you from solving problems it does not prevent you from creating them. |

I would probably play this if they made mastermind free. I got a level 50 MM, but can't unlock /cry. And classes cost $15...or 1200 points "Well, there was a time when I was quick to judge others based on what little I'd heard. But... traveling with even the worst, slimiest, smelliest of tieflings and no-honor tree-worshipping elves has taught me some of them are all right." -Khelgar Ironfist |

Don't you have to pay for controllers too. Thats BS. Freemium is BS. MM and controllers are the best classes (next would be tanks and scrappers and mayne brutes). Maybe it wont be so bad for the players that put hundreds of dollars into the game via monthly fees. |

Current MMO dev teams = Keystone cops.A pure comedy of errors,sadly its not as intentional. |

Hmm, i could have sworn i read "returning players would be able to keep and access everything they had from their previously active account" .....Is this not so ? |

Well i've had my account active for a while. If they are just now reactivating accounts that mans more of those green/yellow servers will go red. Will be nice to see people wandering around again, assuming they don't all take part in the what is called farming team. |

Found it, theres a bit more abimquiity there ,but its pretty damn cose. "Retain nearly everything you already purchased or unlocked, including Super Boosters, expansions, and directly purchased character slots." So, since i bought both CoH and CoV seperately,would i have access to the chars i built during that time under those purchases ?Or are they purposely trying to mislead people,and in fact the only things id have access to from the past were "cyptic shop" bought "items" .....

I don't see the problem, all of your old vet rewards are active....I had 9 extra unlockable slots. Cost me nothing to unlock all the characters I had active on one server.. Also premium players get the 10 base archetypes, you pay for powersets not archtypes. |

My account is reactivated, but you gotta be VIP to play in their current HeadStart and I ain't paying. I'll just wait. When we get back from where we are going, we will return to where we were. I know people there! |

My old account has been reactivated, but I couldnt find any of my toons. The visuals have aged well I noticed or maybe they upgraded the graphics engine over the years. |
