It has to be remembered that, unlike most shuttered MMORPGs, City of Heroes wasn't failing when it closed down. With such an uncertain platform it's quite astonishing just how many players have come out in support. How long demand will last is uncertain but then isn't it always? Clearly there's a lot of pent-up desire being spent after six years of forced abstinence but against that you'd need to weigh the precarious legal position and the potentially ephemeral nature of any characters or progress being made. There's room for everyone but you have to be patient!

From what I gathered from chat when I got into the game, so many people were trying to play on Sunday, even two servers weren't spreading the load enough. Probably helped that there were also two more servers online: four in total. Today, when I tried after lunch, there were no queues at all. If I want the place to myself - enjoy rare spawns without competition, say - I just log in between breakfast and afternoon tea on weekdays. Evenings and weekends, any halfway-successful MMORPG feels comfortably busy, not overcrowded. One of the main reasons I prefer playing on American servers, rather than European, is how it lets me manage population density. Not the cleverest time to taste the new hotness. hours on North American servers, weekend evenings are about the closest I ever come to U.S. It looked to be a good while before I got in. Demand was so strong the volunteer team had added a second server so I thought I'd make a character there instead. I tried to log in to City of Heroes last night.
