I gave this same thing a LOT of thought in my drive from work. The game was designed for dialup so it's likely the client-communication is not insanely complex. |

What would it take for us to get a community run private server for CoH? I know other games like WoW and many others have them. I get that it won't be like the game now. No more updates, no dedicated dev staff and all that. However, at least CoH and it's community could carry on. We're past petitions to save CoH, NC Soft has already killed the game they've just yet to pull the plug. A kick starter to buy the IP is noble but I'm sure it would need MILLIONS to buy then operate so why not cut out the middle man and make our own server? |
If I was 5 years younger, single and with less responsibilities in my life, I would spend the next 2 months making sure I got an emulated server working.
I would absolutely be there. Where else am I supposed to get my mastermind fix?
