Eleven years ago NCSoft notoriously shut down City of Heroes<\/a>, the first superhero MMORPG. I recently discovered that it has been revived<\/a>, albeit unofficially. Someone obtained the code several years ago and ran it on a clandestine server. Word eventually got out, the code was shared, and there are now several Cities available online. I’ve been playing a little on “Homecoming<\/a>.” Avatars I’ve designed so far include “Alpha Ralpha” and “MacCruiskeen,” with probably “Willy McGilly” and “Jirel de Joiry” to follow.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
