Attention! In 30 minutes, the City of Heroes and City of Villains servers will go down for maintenance reasons. Further information can not now or ever be found in the City of Heroes forums until well after the fact.


Just a little truth to brighten up everyone's day.

I love how everyone proclaiming something negative and cynical claims to be wearing garments spun of the finest Truth.

When the truth is that they're just oblivious to the irony of their own statements.

Shortly after I logged in I got the servers are shutting down in 5 mins. msg. I tried to hurry up and finish my mish. I was killing the last guy when I got booted. Not sure if I have a completed mish or I have to do it over again. Oh well...

I think what Zombie Man posted is supposed to say "The Coming Storm." Instead all the spaces were condensed and it looks like a little like "╟╡╞║╣╪."

The global chat (and, as it turns out, email) server has generally been flaky under high load, like right after a new issue release. Until now it's been a largely cosmetic issue, but since emails with attachments disappear into the ether whenever the global chat server is down...

Well, I sure hope that's what's being fixed.

But isn't the game is dying, and aren't the servers ghost towns? Now I'm confused.

You forgot the part where they've been progressively selling off unused pieces of the server farm to mask the losses from declining subscription fees, so that now "high load" constitutes ten people swapping their favorite hentai URLs.

Confusion abated.

I have been seeing Virtue in the yellow so maybe some server upgrades?

I said a little truth. So, the garments are not a full outfit. Maybe a hat, or socks, at most.

It's just annoying to have an announcement made that says to check the forums for details, and then to find nothing on the forums. At the time, I didn't even know it was just Virtue going down.

It would be nice if they posted the information on the forums before saying that there's information on the forums. Or at least change their default message to "Information will be posted on the CoH/CoV forums shortly".

But... on the upside, the downtime gave me time to do a load of laundry. I had to wash my Underwear of Justice for work tomorrow, all I had clean was my Boxers of Righteous Fury.

Oh what the heck... I haven't done a list in a while...

Reasons the Virtue Server needed to be shut down for a while...

* The floors of Pocket D needed to be mopped from all the Private Tell Roleplaying.

* After witnessing all the RP things that go on the Spirit of Virtue had to be coached again as to just what it was SUPPOSED to stand for.

* Freedom was sulking at how frequently Virtue was at the top of the "most populated" list.

* Virtue needed its bi-weekly pennicilin shot.

* A glitch caused two simultaneous zone events resulting in Rikti Zombie Invasion Apocalypse... Which sounds good until you realise that zombie-fied Rikti don't crave brains... they crave burritos... Virtue Server reopens in an hour... El Super Mexicano won't reopen for another month.

* Atlas had an appointment with his Chiropractor.

Marcian, Marcian, Marcian... Of *COURSE* theres something sinister and diabolical that's motivated the maitenence. I mean, just check out this high school yearbook photo of the guy they hired to maintain the servers:
