City of Heroes fan server Homecoming gets an official licence from NCSoft

Superhero MMORPG City of Heroes was officially shut down at the end of 2012, but a group of dedicated fans never gave up on the game. And over a decade after the official servers went dark, the biggest fan server has been given the all-clear via a license from NCSoft, which is a massive relief for players. “Your accounts and characters are safe,” reads an announcement from Homecoming, a fan-run City of Heroes server. “Development of new content will continue.”

Congratulations to all the parts involved for reaching this milestone. This is undoubtedly some potentially good news for a similar agreement for Pangya, too.
