Hey guys i am new to CoH and i was wondering what is the most populated and active servers? I usually do PVP so what is the best server for that?

Freedom and Virtue are generally the most populated (the list is sorted with the last server you accessed on top, and then from least to most populated* on the very bottom). As for PvP... Freedom used to have a decent amount, but I'm not sure if there's much of a population of PvPings at all left (better to check the PvP section of the forum for that).

Freedom's population seems to be in a bit of a decline while Virtues been rising (at least it appears that way to me, I've no numbers to back that up), although Freedom had always been the largest before.


* Technically not by 'population' but by 'load', but generally those correspond decently well.

By the way, PvP is pretty much dead in City of Heroes. The devs might revisit it in the future, but honestly there's a 50/50 chance of that making things even worse (that's what happened the last time they addressed PvP).

The PvP section of the forums would be a good place to start though, as there is a small PvP community remaining.

Alright thanks guys, and i have one more question? is there still much world pvp in the zones? and people just ganking people? or its it mainly just pve?

You can only PvP in the Arena, or 4 special zones. Those zones are Bloody Bay, Siren's Call, Warburg, and Recluse's Victory. There's no PvE content in the game that in any way requires/forces you to enter those zones (and there's no standard contacts there, either). The only real reason someone would go to those zones other than for PvP would be to get the various temporary powers you can get there (Shivan Shards, Warburg Nukes, etc). Even when PvP was much more common, I had no issues sneaking into any of the zones and getting whatever I wanted.


As for if there's anyone still in those zones... the PvP forum would be the best place to ask that. Last I heard, setting up arena matches was the more popular form of PvP.

One note about Freedom - it has more hardware, therefore X amount of people is less of a load for it than other servers.
