Service with a Smile: In recent years we’ve worked hard to not just give you all ever-more-engaging content, but also to continue to improve everyone’s overall experience playing City of Heroes and Villains. Often this comes from updating old content but also in improvements to the way you interact with the game. For example, we are currently working to integrate City of Heroes into the NCsoft Launcher, which will bring with it a significant improvement to the process of downloading and updating the game for all NA and EU (Mac and PC) customers. One of the immediate benefits is that all of our customers will finally benefit from the same launcher and the most up-to-date information; this is the first step in bringing our communities together.
Its a start in the right direction i say! Yes something as small as this made me smile

You spotted that too huh?

That and the move of our servers to the NA site have me suspecting something very big in the works. Might just get my wish granted after all.

Not getting my hopes up yet. Still, it IS a step in the right direction.

Hes talking about the NCSoft Launcher program that Aion, Dungeon Runners Exteel etc all use.

Not just the normal updater.

I'm probably reading WAY too much into this, but I hope this means that the EU server list will finally be merged with the NA server list, allowing everyone access to all 15 servers.

EVERYONE!

Mmmm, four new servers, 48 new alts...

That would explain the recent addition of the ToS to the game login on test.

I do hope it means updating the client lists as well (ie. server list merge) as that would give me another 12 slots for Union and 132 for each of my other accounts.





And altisis will claim us all again

On the day they merge the sever list, I will bid goodbye to my family and descend into an utter fury of alting and playing, not knowing what to do or where to go with myself. I would probably emerge about a week later with over forty alts all around level 12 on various servers. :P

Maybe they're talking about being closer to other game communities through the launcher, maybe they're not. I can at least hope.

That to me indicates that this is about bringing the CoH communities together.

If it were something along these lines:

then it would be much more likely to involve other games. But it doesn't say that. The context is purely CoX so this is a VERY positive move.
