Talk about the real comeback kids. If you want to save a click, the dudes from the Homecoming private server (aka. The worst kept secret ever) managed to have NCSoft grant them a license.

Homecoming has been granted a license to operate a City of Heroes server and further develop the game - subject to conditions and limitations under the contract - but, as between us and NCSoft, NCSoft still owns the City of Heroes intellectual property and it’s derivatives.<

Congratulations to the devs, what a bunch of legends. Joining the pantheon of “officially” run fan server MMO’s next to the dudes behind EverQuest’s p99.

We love to see it.
