From US to EU...

Well, i changed my PC and on the wave changed my subscription from US to EU in order to begin there from zero. But i still have a backup DVD of CoH (with going rogue also) US version, do i need to re-download the game?

Not at all! The client can be redirected to join the EU servers just fine; the Wiki will have the exact list of ways, but basically, right click on your shortcut for the game, select properties, and there should be a dialogue box saying "Target: "C:\Games\City Of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" "

You just need to add -project "eucoh" to the end, so it looks like

"C:\Games\City Of Heroes\CohUpdater.exe" -project "eucoh"

And you should go direct to the EU servers, which will help with a glitch that occasionally means EU can't connect to the updater (although it's happened a lot less since I19).

Thanks for the info. So I don't have to install 2 version of CoH! Yeah the downloads have been killing me ;-)

Can you confirm this again. I tried to do this last night and it didn't work. I had to use the updater.eu to get to my destination.
