(Several of these other servers are based on Ouroboros’ work!) Project Ouroboros ( Discord) – This is a Volume 2 server development team currently led by Chet it’s focused on stabilizing the code base, although it does boast a QA server to mess around on. The dev has told us these servers have plenty of server capacity with no chance of funding being pulled, so they’re a great option “if you want to just have a extra character on a vanilla i24v1/i25/i26 server.” Island of Villains – We’re including this one for completeness’ sake, since this group has three servers running different versions of the game, still alive in May 2020. Homecoming ( Discord) – The largest of the server groups, Homecoming boasts 160K registered accounts across five shards in NA/EU, running a custom i26+ SCORE build with new archetypes and powersets as well as new story content, experience boosts, and events.

Still led by Baaleos and live as of May 2020.Ĭake Evolution ( Discord) – Previously known as We Have Cake, this is one of the newer server groups it offers perks like instant level 50s and incarnates, plus new powersets, proliferation, and free-form toons. Has some neat features, like strike forces for smaller teams. Here we go, in alphabetical order…Īsmodei ( Discord) – Small public shard running Ouroboros i24+ with custom content too. If you know of a server we don’t have on our list, or have an update or correction, please let us know and we’ll be happy to fix it up and hopefully send some players your way, especially since the pserver voting page has been down for a while. That list has fallen a bit out of date, and yet we’re still getting requests about it, so we’re going to attempt to tidy it up right here. Last spring, we compiled a list of all the private shards (we call them rogue servers now) we knew of. It’s been over a year now, a year full of drama and toxicity but also a hell of a lot of hard work and friendship, and the result is a whole stack of free City of Heroes servers to play on, in a world where most fans hadn’t been able to go, hunt, and kill skuls in six years. In April of 2019, the expose of a secret City of Heroes private server blew up, prompting the player developer to hand over the code – itself a gift from an elusive former Paragon Studios dev – to the entire community. It’s been a weird and wonderful year for City of Heroes fans.
