Most activ server?

Title pretty much says it all : Which server is the most activ one? Has the most people playing? I'd rather not come back to game after such a long time only to play on a dead server Would really like to do respec TF's and all that good stuff. Hope you can point me in the right direction.

champion is a good server to go to.
good community also and nice people to chat with too.

Virtue or Freedom, depends on the time of the day.

Virtue has a lot of roleplay, Freedom has more PvP (not sure you could say "a lot" though). Freedom has a reputation as the server with the most idiots, but really, both have very active populations and players of all types.

But when Freedom launches, I expect a lot of servers will be more active.

Also: insert standard rant that dead servers aren't dead, you just need to know how to find people. Which is mostly true. But if you want a random invite to a TF at 1 AM PST, your best bet is still Virtue or Freedom. ^_^

Well guess i will check out out those then. Just hope they wont lag for me, since they're US servers and i'm in germany. Usually means higher lag but we'll see.

All the servers are in the same location.

See my Guides and Tutorials

Wanting an active server and wanting a no-lag server may be two different things. ^_^

They moved them a while ago, when they shut down their European support team I think (two years ago?) In any case by all reports US servers work better than German ones, even if you're in Germany.

So where are they all now?

According to the Wikipedia CoH article:

"City of Heroes and City of Villains employ several servers. The servers are divided between the North American and European markets, with separate European servers with language localization for German and French speakers. The North American servers based in Dallas, Texas, while the European servers were moved from Germany to a new site in the US in November 2010."

...which would be Dallas as well, I think.

There used to be East Coast and West Coast servers, so far as I know... I don't remember when all of those were consolidated.

Well, there are no separate European and US servers anyway. They removed that distinction. All are physically in the same location and all are accessible by anyone.

As was earlier stated, Freedom And Virtue are tied for highest. I've seen Union (originally the European rp server) reach the level of third highest at certain times of day. There are people who play all them, however. There are no really dead severs, once you learn how to find people and when they typically play.

As for lag, higher populations servers would seem to be more likely to have more lag problems, so you might be better off picking a moderately busy server, rather than one of the big 2. Union might be ideal, since you would be more likely to find people playing at the same time as you.

I'm most active on Justice.
