Where do you get these launcher apps and the configuration instructions? The subreddit has an official list, but this is out of date. So it's pretty resource-light to run multiple CoH game versions if you so choose. They'd share the base City of Heroes client install, all the private server specific stuff goes in a subfolder inside the CoH install. To clarify further, for most City of Heroes servers, you'd be really running everything off one single client download. And most launcher downloads would come pre-configured with a server or two. This isn't a great deal of configuration, you just need to plug in the URL once to an options menu somewhere. That's where a patch server is, essentially. If going the Tequila-equivalent route, what you need to understand are manifests - essentially this is a URL that the app points to, in order to tell it, okay, that's a game server you're pulling updates from and launching to. You can access Homecoming via these apps as well, as Homecoming was originally tied to Tequila (and the Mac version of Homecoming still uses Island Rum).

The community uses drink names as a running gag, don't question this too much. Other apps created by different servers are named stuff like Cream Soda, Sweet Tea, etc.

well, the original app was called Tequila. Homecoming, the largest private server group by population size, has a custom launcher app of their own that doesn't work with other servers (for security certificate reasons), though Homecoming can also be accessed through. What's the launcher app? Well, because there's a bunch of private server groups, there's no one single launcher app in order to download, patch, and play the game, there are several. but probably you'll just do it all via the app. You can also torrent the old 2012 game client if you prefer, then fiddle the launcher of your choice so it points to that. Smaller servers might require manual account creation via asking someone on Discord or something.Īnd then you download a launcher app, which will also grab the game files for you and keep 'em patched up. Normally you'll go to the server group's website or forums and create an account via some kind of online form. Then you need to create an account (and remember, each server group has different accounts, these ain't shared). So it's not a matter of playing City of Heroes again, it's a matter of which version of City of Heroes you want to play. The official live game is dead, we're all playing on a bunch of different fan operated private servers. The first thing you have to understand is that there's no single City of Heroes server anymore.
