Hello all, it is with a heavy heart I have to announce that due to hardware issues, the Victory server has been forced to shutdown. Thankfully our offsite backups were working, and I have delivered that data to the Homecoming team so they can begin the work of bringing over linked accounts to our new home with them. Please if you haven't already Link your Victory account to a Homecoming account https://cityofheroes.dev/forums/account-tools/gameaccount.html/ You will need a forum AND game account over on Homecoming to successfully link your account. With your accounts linked you will keep your characters, supergroups, Inf and items! Otherwise you will have to start fresh there. Thank you all for 5 amazing years on Victory, I've enjoyed hosting our home for everyone, I've enjoyed our interactions, and hope to see your over on Homecoming, where I am still an active part of their administrative team.

The merge *is* happening, there have just been a few delays that keep pushing this back at the last moment every time.

If you go to https://cityofheroes.dev/forums/account-tools/gameaccount.html/ And you see a section for "Your Homecoming account", then you're good to go.

We have not merged into Homecoming yet, there is no date set at this time

That isn't going to be an issue, Victory will be a 6th shard on the Homecoming server select list.

I'm not sure what instructions you are referring to, or what you mean by "Seeing characters". If you mean the email from "Closed Beta" that's not us, and their server merge is a different thing from ours.

This was related to this: And should already be resolved by the restart I preformed this morning. If you're still having issues let me know, but in my testing everything is working fine.

This should be fixed by the server restart I just did. Verified I can enter missions and new maps with no problem.

Global emails should transfer over with no issue. Currently Character Items migrate, but not Account Items. The migration code is still being written though so don't worry about claiming account items just yet.

If the connection to the server doesn't succeed the config isn't read, I need to fix that but the root issue is you're not getting the bootstrap.xml from the server, so the launcher stops all processing.

This means that something is blocking the connection out to this website from the Launcher. Usually that's some Anti-Virus, or FIrewall. I've only been able to reproduce this by breaking the network connection of the launcher as it's loading.

Hello everyone - The Spring Fling event is now live!

Apologies, the account creation and how to play pages got disabled in a forum software upgrade, and then by a number of errors. I believe I have fixed everything and it should be good to go again!

You have a forum and game account created on the Homecoming side? https://forums.homecomingservers.com/gameaccount/

This should be fixed now. Forum upgrade disabled the module this was hooked in. Sorry about that, thanks for letting me know!
