Old Player returning.

I haven't played for years. I mean like yearrrrs.

In going F2P, where have all my old characters gone? I was playing Defiant on EU and I cant seem to find any way of accessing them.

Do I need some sort of Premium account because they were pre-free?

They should all still be there. As far as I know, no characters have been deleted. If you explore underneath your /City of Heroes directory I believe they create a file now that lists all your characters and the servers they are on.

So you should see them all, they will initially be greyed out though, at least until you unlock your two free slots.


This is a song about a super hero named Tony. Its called Tony's theme.

You'll probably find that your username has changed and is now prefixed with "EU". You probably have a US trial account that you're actually logging into without realising it (My username is "EU[Something]" and my old US Trial account username is "[Something]", both are active and initially had the same passwords).

There are actually accounts that have had all characters wiped. I have such an account.

It was my Beta account and is now a Free account.

All of my Beta characters were wiped. I'd have been surprised if they were still there.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Black Pebble is my new hero.

Really? I have an old inactive account that I'm pretty sure was my CoV beta account. I logged into it last night and found some old characters still there. *shrug*
