So if any members show up back here after hearing the news, there is a new public server up called the SCORE server. Its off the same launcher that the ICON/Paragon chat programs have been running on. I have set up a DP sg in it, so if you show up and want back in, give me a holler. My name is still @urbanknight in this. To get on the server, do the following: Step One: Download and install Tequila patch.savecoh.com/tequila.exe if you are a Mac user download ir.powermad.net/islandrum-mac.zipStep Two: If Tequila does not automatically download issue i24 for you download it using this magnet link in any torrent browser, ensure the coh folder is in the same directory as Tequila: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:606490b92fc35d249abff9f00360302d0552e735&dn=coh Step three: Ensure you direct Tequila towards your i24 download during install. (If Tequila downloaded it automatically this shouldn't be an issue) Step four: Set up an account at score.savecoh.com/Step five: Once you sign into your forum account proceed to the account creation portion of the website using the following link. score.savecoh.com/account/ Once you have created your account all you have to do then is wait. When the server comes up the Tequila client will update and you will be able to log in using the account you created. If the websites are down DO NOT PANIC, just wait a couple of mins and try again. Your forum account is not what you will login to the game with, you will use your forum account to CREATE your game account and then use that for logging into the game. This is what you should see from Tequila while its updating: i.imgur.com/xhB32UH.pngAs of this posting, they had taken the server down for a short maintenance, but are expecting to be back up in 30ish mins. Hope to see you guys in there! 04-25-19 EDIT: As an fyi, since contacting some of you guys yesterday about this, I heard somewhere that the current server running is a test server for what will hopefully be the future/permanent public server (I do not have this 100% confirmed.) So I will do my best to keep you all updated.

Statement released earlier from GM's that are currently running the server:
Hey folks!
Hope you’ve all been enjoying yourselves thus far, it’s been a pretty incredible 24 hours!
Before we get started, we’d like to share a couple of stats. So as of a couple of hours ago:
Peak player count was just over 3,300 16,839 accounts have been created 26,262 characters have been made 255,685,139 XP has been earned 293,306,562 influence held by characters The highest level player is Dacaleos, a level 39 Brute Origins: 7,475 Magic 5,647 Mutation 4,712 Natural 4,204 Science 4,136 Technology Archetypes: 3,482 Blasters 3,435 Brutes 3,350 Masterminds 3,123 Scrappers 2,263 Controllers 2,129 Tankers 1,823 Defenders 1,625 Corruptors 1,334 Sentinels 1,212 Dominators 935 Stalkers 436 Peacebringers 401 Warshades 394 Arachnos Soldiers 246 Arachnos Widows
The Homecoming Team Who exactly is behind this server has been one of the biggest questions we’ve received. The project is being headed up by Cipher and Rigo, with assistance from Leo. There are several others involved in actually keeping the server online and running, but they all wish to remain behind the scenes at this time. We would like to clarify again, however, that the Homecoming team is not controlled by or affiliated with any current Discord server or The Titan Network.
Leandro There have been many questions about Leandro’s involvement with this server. We want to make it clear that Leo is not directly involved in the administration/moderation of the server, he is only providing technical support. Without a lot of hard work from Leo there is no way this server would be online right now - he has been an incredible help to the team.
GameMasters We’ve recruited a couple of GameMasters to ensure everyone is able to continue enjoying the game in a clean, respectful, and welcoming environment. What does that mean? Well, we are currently working on both a player and a GameMaster code of conduct, which we will hopefully be able to share with you soon.
In the meantime, a general rule of thumb should be “Would I have been able to get away with this on the live server?” If not, then don’t do it!
We would like to thank our GM team for all of the work they have put in so far; they have done a fantastic job and we look forward to continuing to work with them.

If you see any of them around, please feel free to say hi! Please be aware that they’re still currently learning how to use their powers, and are awaiting the admins to unlock further powers when everything calms down.
If you see anyone else sporting a ‘GM’ name, they are not actual GMs. Please shun them and report them to an online GM. We are working on a solution to allow players to anonymously report false GMs and problematic players.
Donations We’re currently investigating how the community is able to financially support this server in a way that doesn’t put us in any legal jeopardy. The server is currently costing around $2100 per month, but there’s a reasonable chance we may have to scale up further for stability. In order to sustain the load from last night without major issues, the cost would likely go up to around $2700 a month.
Can’t say much more on this right now though, so stay tuned!
Permanence Many of you have been asking how long this server will be around, and if there will be a character wipe at some point. The short answer to both of those questions is that we do not know yet.
Our primary long-term goal is to ensure that the community has a stable server that we can all enjoy together in perpetuity. Right now we cannot say if his server will be that, but we are not closed off to that possibility. If for whatever reason that primary goal requires us to shut this server down or wipe the character database, then we will do that.
Outside of fulfilling that goal, we don’t foresee any reason why a character wipe would need to occur.
Stability The amount of load on the servers means that we’ll probably need to restart the server regularly and sometimes unexpectedly. Crashes and short rollbacks are likely to happen in the event of an unexpected restart or problem. We are actively working to address this but it does take time. In the meantime we will continue to communicate when we’re aware of ongoing problems and impending restarts.
Going Forwards We’ll continue to post updates every couple of days until things calm down. We’re going to work on improving our communication channels as well in order to get news and information out to all of you in a much smoother manner.
In the meantime… Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls.
- The Homecoming Team

From GM Jimmy on the Homecoming Discord: Server migration will begin at 8pm UTC on Thursday [May 16th] (10pm Europe time, 9pm UK time, 4pm Eastern time, 1pm Pacific time). Downtime could be up to 6 hours, but we're hoping it will be much shorter than that. As a reminder: Architect Entertainment servers will be wiped. Please make local backups of your missions if you wish to keep them. NO OTHER DATA IS BEING WIPED. You can find more information about the server move here: score.savecoh.com/index.php/topic,1938.0.html
