NCSoft, the original publisher of the MMO City of Heroes, has officially granted a license to the fan-run project Homecoming, allowing the team to host and further develop the game legally.
This marks a triumphant return for Paragon City, a once vibrant metropolis teeming with players that was shut down in 2012.
Homecoming, known for its dedication to the City of Heroes community, can now operate without legal constraints. A labor of love by passionate fans, Homecoming kept the spirit of the MMO alive by hosting unauthorized servers, offering a refuge for the game’s dedicated community. While uncertainty surrounding the server’s legal status loomed large, everything changed on January 4.
