What is the Victory server?

According to http://cityofheroes.wikia.com/wiki/Servers

"Victory has as a reputation in the community as "the unofficial Euro server" and "the unofficial GLBT server" because of perceptions that this server has the largest concentration of these two groups."

As an EU player hoping to move servers, I am just wondering if the above statement is true or not. Please reply!

Victory is a hole.

Some people need to lighten up and learn what a joke is.

I've been here my entire COH career of 5ish years and never seen any evidence of either of those things, good or bad. I like it and I'll never leave, so I guess there must be something keeping me here.

I've been away a bit, but in my past few weeks online I can say that from playing on both the -BUSY- Virtue server and the -FRIENDLY- Victory server - we do have these player groups remaining semi-active on the lower general pop Victory.
(Not a hole by ay means , just a tighter knit community)

Much can be accomplished and learned from joining one or both of the relevant channels:
#Victory Badges (Organising - TF's, Teams and etc with a friendly helpful vibe)
#Pride (all servers - GLBTQ chat)


:::MAIN::: Blu Bird / Virtue/ 50- energy/energy - Blaster

I would highly recommended that you don't use that wikia site for your own safety, it's known to house some malicious junk that will eat your babies.. or something.

Anyway, I've always heard of those "labels," but I would wager that they're no more prevalent than any other server. We've definitely got a small-town community feel here on Victory - stick around for a while and you'll start seeing the same names and faces around. Also sport plenty of regular events for all kinds of people (ISOs, PvPU, PERC, TNTFs with Voo, weekly ship/hami raids, VB/VF for TFs and junk, etc).

In all sincerity, I hope you are happier on Virtue (or wherever you went). But seriously... saying Victory is a hole now and like 2-4 times during the Ustream cast... I think you have better things to do.

Hi Kendai, thanks for your interest! I do think we have a fairly large Euro population. We are a close knit server who have a lot of fun. I guess we are our own little family (we can make fun of each other and play around, but when someone outside the family insults one of us... watch it!) We do a lot of tfs, itrials, weekly Hami raids, have an up and coming PvP crowd, ship raids, and even some rp. We have a snarky/quirky bunch of forumites, but if you are willing to put in a little effort, you can make a great home here

On a personal note, I'm MP the first chair of PERC (Player Event Resource Committee). I try to keep plenty of events happening on Victory, such as recent ones Memory Lane and Mayhem Madness. I look forward to seeing new players!

Feel free to contact me any time! @Madame Pistacio

Hello. In the past Victory had several active LGBT groups. I have not seen that level of activity in a while, but I am pretty sure the server got this "reputation" a while ago. I still see the Bear Patrol, for example, but not a lot of the other SGs that were active in the past.

Sometimes its what you make of it. Take that for what its worth.

As for my experiences. I have always had a great time when I play on Victory. The people are friendly and know how to have a good time.

Are there any other widely used globals on victory? Apparently Victory Badges is at full capacity so unable to join.

A good majority of people who participate in the Pride global channel seem to play at least some of the time on Victory. I wonder if part of the reason that the identifiably "gay" SGs aren't as noticeable is that SGs in general are less noticeable than they used to be. There are GLBT folks on all the servers, of course.

There are at least a few Europeans who play on Victory even still.

I've played quite a bit on 5 servers. Victory is the one I keep coming back to. The global channels foster a great community. Victory Badges, Victory Badges 2009 (and when is that merge happening?), and Victory Forum are all good public Victory channels for teaming. Victory is a welcoming place.

Victory Forum
Victory Badges 2009

And then when/if you join an SG, many have private channels.

Hi Kendai, I'm glad you're interested in Victory, and we hope to see you around.

I know there are quite a few European players on victory. As for the LGBT community, it's like what was said up-thread, not really any more prevalent than on any other server anymore.

Agreed with all of this. We kind of all stick together and enjoy each other's company. We may stand out, but we never stand alone.

I almost never take note of a character's supergroup. And I'm pretty sure gay players don't restrict themselves to 'gay' supergroups anyway. I also (and believe this is the most common attitude here) don't care about the sexual orientation of other players. Except for the furries.
