  1. Glad you found us! The details are a bit fuzzy, but basically it boils down to this: When the game shut down in 2012, a developer leaked the issue24 client / server source to a player, who then ran a secret private server until 2019, when that server's existence leaked, and they released the source code to the public. I grabbed the source, and set Victory up, we've been up since April 2019.

  2. Hello all! We are aware the server is having issues and users are unable to connect. I am investigating the issue now and hope to have this resolved ASAP.

  3. Mapserver Madness! (Four-One 2023 Invasion Event): After GM_Bot went rogue last year and was subsequently suppressed by our capable server admins, we thought all was well! ...We thought wrong. ? Small bits of the unknown and mysterious code that suddenly gave rise to GM_Bot's sentience have escaped and begun proliferating itself! We've now received reports that it has manifested within the various mapservers that run the zones of our fair City of Heroes! We do our best to keep our mapserver instances happy and healthy, but as you are all aware, the map server can be a fickle beast. Often disconnecting unexpecting victims at a moments notice, we thought it was likely just bugs in the code, but new information has arisen that shows there may be more... Something unnatural, more malevolent... The crisis we now face threatens the fabric of our world! The mapserver has gained sentience, and become the Dreaded Mapserver!™ It has had enough of our super-powered antics and has deemed all player life as requiring immediate extermination! Assembling the most terrifying, under baked, and volatile code it could conjure, the Dreaded Mapserver has assembled a violent army of glitches, bugs, broken scripts, and other abominations to attempt to wipe out all life as we know it! It is up to the brave players of our world to rise and combat the sentient Dreaded Mapserver, drive back its wicked and unstable minions, and to exterminate the fiend's sentience with a hard reboot! Those who muster the courage to face these aberrant distortions will find themselves as much as tenfold times more experienced than they were before, with an untold bounty of influence, infamy, and information that comes with such triumphs! We wish you noble souls the best of luck as you work to save our world! DISCLAIMER: This is a short, for-fun invasion event! Thus, there are no unique badges or rewards that can be missed, but we hope you will enjoy the x10 reward scale! Level some characters! This silly invasion event will run through the weekend until regular Tuesday maintenance time. ~FREEM! Author's note: The mapserver has stocked up on a lifetime supply of Blue Spider© brand Hero Repellant™ and Dr. Caretaker's© Signature Costume Bleach™; Beware!

  6. The only time the launcher should download any files, is if the version number server side doesn't match the version number cached locally on the launcher's side, and even then it shouldn't re-download everything, unless all of the files don't match the hashes from the server. There are no settings on the launcher that would cause this, other than the config.json file not being present. The Website downtime yesterday was due to the core switch that the webserver and gameserver are connected to having power issues, those should be resolved now.

  7. Makes me happy. I was in Beta for CoH and had to drop out for a while in 2010. Came back just in time to create one Praetorian and get the closure announcement. That was a bummer.
