Michiyo Posted January 28 Posted January 28 Hello, with the recent announcement that Homecoming has been granted a License to operate their City of Heroes™ Servers, we have been invited to merge Victory in as a 6th shard along their existing shards. You will need to opt in to the transfer of your City of Heroes™ data to Homecoming, if you do not link your Victory account to Homecoming, your data will not be transferred, and you will lose your Characters and Supergroups. If you do not already have a Homecoming account you will need to create both a Forum account AND Game account here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/getting-started/, and then head to our Account panel https://cityofheroes.dev/forums/account-tools/gameaccount.html/ and link the accounts. There is no ETA currently for the merge, but it will be happening in the near future. When our server is merged into Homecoiming, you will keep your characters, their inventory, character descriptions and any Supergroup bases your characters own. Your global handle may end up changed if it conflicts with an existing global handle in use on Homecoming. Auction house data may or may not come across, and Architect Entertainment (Mission Architect) arcs will NOT transfer, if you wish to bring your MA Arcs across please make sure you save the arcs and custom critters and re-publish them after the merge.

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

Do you know about email items? should i make sure to claim my account items before the move? 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.

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't going to be an issue, Victory will be a 6th shard on the Homecoming server select list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluejay Posted June 5 Posted June 5 (edited) Hey so...Bluejay here. What do I gotta do? I have my account on Victory. Even if I don't get transferred, I'd really really like to get the name again and play there when I play at all! Victory for life!

Kullsak Posted July 11 Posted July 11 When is the big merge going to take place? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicAxis Posted July 20 Posted July 20 At this point it doesn't seem as though this is ever going to actually take place. I mean it has been almost 6 months at this point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that is good to know. What type of delays are being experienced? Is there anything that any of the members of the community can help with? Just a thought.

AtomicAxis Posted August 30 Posted August 30 WHY IS THE DB SERVER DOW? I am pretty sure the data base server is down. I am tried everything, and nothing fixes the issue. Can not log into my characters on victory at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadPenguin55 Posted September 17 Posted September 17 I've got an option for 'unlink homecoming account' so I guess I'm good. It should be interesting seeing how the market changes and seeing other people running around. Thanks again to Michiyo for all you're doing!
