No Download from City of Heroes Main Anymore

So... my computer got hit with something and I had to format. Little did I know...

You can't download the client anymore. Trying to get to the Download link on the main page (under account) now takes you to the Farewell Announcement.

So I went searching on the web to find a place to download it. I found this:
http://city-of-heroes-freedom.en.softonic.com/download
I hope it works.

PS: I save my screenshots on my Amazon cloud drive, but I never knew I had to back up the client!

Doesn't the NC Soft launcher allow you to DL it? I forget... it has been awhile.

Waitaminute ...

Does this mean that NCsoft has removed the means for subscribers to access a service they've paid for from the homepage of said service with up to three weeks remaining on the monthly subscription?

Brilliant move, NCsoft. Brilliant move.

Ah, that is why I could not locate the official link: ncsoft.com instead of coh.com.

Thanks for supplying it.

Most likely they figure you have it installed already if you were playing prior to the 'announcement'. They most likely don't want to add to the user base.

Oh, no doubt that's why. But I think Nanas' point was that they're treading in very fishy legal waters, unless they perform refunds for this time. Especially seeing as there's been no official announcement from NCSoft about the closure... there is a good chance there are people who haven't heard about the closure who are going to be rightfully miffed.

I plan on keeping my local game installed for a long time, but this has made me realize I really need to back it up.
