City of Heroes Private Server cont

Probably the wrong course of action but I requested Inside Gaming do a video on this to try and get a harsher spotlight on these fags.

Not to mention stolen user data

Keeping a secret pserver is one thing and not something to get shook up over. Not releasing the back end code is the unforgivable part.

do you think NCSoft wont beat the shit out of him when he's usibg they property, justice or not?

Its coming from all sides on this guy. I really hope he gets fucked and the data doesnt get destroyed in the process.

well it's not "true" justice since the arbiter of said justice is The Great Enemy and will quash all possibility of an open environment for multiple private servers to flourish, but it's still vindication for the wrongs committed.

>Yea Forums wasn't okay with Blizzard killing off private WoW servers
>But Yea Forums is okay with, even actively participating in, NCSoft killing off a private CoX server

Don't forget the part where all the spiritual successor kickstarters and private server projects were fronts funneling money to this guy.

I'm out of the loop but catching up on info. Did the guy who originally release all this information at least leak us the server files? Seems like a wasted leak if you aren't going to publically release against their will as well.

Yeah, no one would give a fuck if he had released the code in the first place. Hell, he could still probably walk away from this looking like a hero if he releases the code now.

>true justice
True justice would be all of us getting to play it. I'll settle for this guy getting sued for more than he'll make in his life.

Never played xpacs for this game. I quit right before max level and people were still trying to figure out how to down Hamidon or whatever (the cellular thing). I remember being comfy as fuck with my seven man guild of in game friends. Is it worth trying out the full version?

You're a complete idiot if you don't understand the difference, bait-kun.

It's amazing how nostalgia can move the autists.

>retard is fine with redit faggots hording server code
>retard isn't fine with people wanting redit faggots to feel what its like to be in their shoes

there will always be a new private WoW server, because the source code is out there in the wild. Yea Forums just wants to see this guy get reamed because he was a goddamn idiot who didn't release the source code at the earliest opportunity, instead choosing to set up his own little Stalinist dictatorship to be kept secret from the peons who aren't major community members or one of their friends.

It has been confirmed there are people from the private server who have been here gaslighting us. What makes you think they aren't here now?

>Is someone running a massive totalitarian clique in an MMO truly a narcissistic sociopath
Are you new to MMOs or something?

So what the fuck are we going to do about these worthless cocksuckers? There has to be some way to get the code, god damn it.

All the people that would be working on a server emulator aren't, because a server already exists and their secret cabal has been playing on it since retail went down.

the guy running the private server and his cronies were actively sabotaging efforts to reverse engineer the code, along with gaslighting the community at large into believing that a private server was the next best thing to impossible.

The faggots with the code marketing themselves as the best option for reverse engineering the code while simultaneously interfeing with every other legitimate attempt.

this.

its beyond clear that Leandro wont hand over the data and the game will never be playable no matter what we do, so better to destroy everything so he loses too.

it is a sad outcome, but its the only possible one at this rate.

This is such a wild fact and what's even crazier is that it's not even top 5 in the wildest facts about this whole thing. It's crazy to think how every single person for 6 years could be complicit in this. Fucking insanity. If someone gave me an invite I'd spend a week recording videos, recording conversations, taking screenshots, and preparing a script to release this knowledge to the world as soon as possible. But all these little dickweed pieces of shit kept it secret for 6 fucking years so they could appease their cult leader and hold onto their pathetic slice of a game.

Get your own code. I made it myself and you’re not invited to my server.

Most of the code/data was server side not client side, meaning if they wanted to emulate it they would literally be making it up as they go with little to no reference other than "I remember it working this way".
CoX was one of if not the only game to do this. Its why its so hard to emulate.

Warhammer had an entire community behind them that donates to them

The people running this private server have been actively hindering and sabotaging efforts to make a private server from scratch, and gaslighting the community with false info on the framework of CoX to suggest a private server CAN'T work at all. That's how fucking evil this shit is, it's like an actual comic book villain.

chupa mi verga, puto

What's funny is that I would be fine with this if this were the situation. The problem is that it's not. He was literally GIVEN stolen information. He didn't figure a damn thing out except how to keep people in the dark. If he reverse engineered it and figured it out, fine, good for him, have your little elitist clique, but he cheated and then kept others down. Flay him.

The game wasn't THAT good.

>everything up to the retail game's current patch
apparently there's data even past that that Leandro and his goons have implemented.

I'm argentinian, Jujuy, and I have a Bersa TPR-9. Can you give me the guy's address so I can teach him a lesson in minecraft?

>Copypasta from last nights thead
TL;DR
A NCSoft/City of Heroes employee grabbed stole all the files, HDDs, CDs, Jump Drives, and a few literal servers - all filled with everyones character data, data for the game and how to remake it into a private server. He then hands it to this guy (his name and information is being dumped constantly now... ) instead of saving it or working on it for everyone to enjoy and play he instead keeps it a secret and invites only friends and family, and their friends - the problem with this is that if anyone leaks the information he now has all their accounts, characters, items and information so if one person leaks he deletes their account and all the people they invited into the Secret Server for CoH
This same person, the person who owns and controls this Secret Server also apparently owned the City of Heroes Sub-Reddit, in which he and his moderators went above and beyond to delete, perma-ban anyone discussing a possible City of Heroes Private/Public Unoffical Server to play on and anyone to mention the secret server were dealt with quickly
The newest information is that SEGS, and a few other City of Hero projects were in on it with him, giving him their collected data and information to keep his secret server stable and under control. On top of all of this he forced people to give him donations or he kept their exp gains extremely low and if people donated to him he made the exp normal and gave them exp bonuses

After all of this there are new people surfacing and admitting that they were part of it, one stating that funds from the creation of City of Titans, one of three or four super-hero MMOs being created has apparently been a front for this server and all their funds from the Kickstarter, Paetron, Donations from PayPal have all been siphoning to this man.

NCsoft was the Lex Luthor. Leo is the Joker. Don't make any bones about it.
I wish to see them both burn.

Honestly, this I find the most despicable of all. Having his own private server is fine, not releasing the code is ultra scummy, but at least there could be some explanation about legal troubles or whatever. But gaslighting the entire community into believing that making a private server is impossible, and actively interfering with any attempts to set it up? That's really crossing every line into straight up evil.

Well, he did have extra income trough the game. If he didn't tax it accordingly they might make a move on him, since taxes and money in general is something no goberment likes to miss.

Why the fuck did they keep it private? I don't understand.

Shut up you faggot cunt. Reddit has nothing to do with this you gaslighting retard. The problem lies in the execution. The people running the server are ACTIVELY preventing people from playing. Nostalrius would have been an entirely different story if the people making it were handed the original source code and didn't let anyone else play and then sabotaged other private server attempts. So shut your stupid faggot mouth.

>Continuation of Copypasta from last nights thread
On a side note with all the Sub-Reddit post being deleted or banned and what have you, in the midst of them someone mentioned that the same developer who stole the data to begin with is actually part of the development team for Ship of Heroes
Ship of Heroes is a MMO Super-Hero game being made by the remnants of the City of Heroes development team and is on Paetron, Kickstarter, and now full on donations to get their game running.
City of Titans which apparently is now in shambles because it was just a front was also a Super-Hero MMO being made along side of Ship of Heroes
The furthest Super-Hero MMO being made is Valiant Online but that too is in the midst of a scam because that's a front for another Game Devleoper so they can make some game published by Activision

Its good that a large entity is covering this, but since I wont open the link as vice are faggots tell me if they cover the conspiracy to suppress information of the server, spread disinformation of the game code, sabotaged other attempts to revive the game, and take money for a fake project to revive the game. I ask because I could easily imagine an outsider taking this as "people are mad they hid it" without touching on the sabotage and money involved.

He's (at least presumably) not running the server out of his closet, I assume NCSoft would lean on the host to get their stolen code off of their servers

unironically to satisfy his ego of being in control of something

I liked this game. The only problem, which I've had with every mmo ever, is that I literally don't have any friends so it's not as fun.

A MMO in single player is quite suffering and lonely.

because they were operating a cash shop money ring. if word got out that a private server is selling cash shop items for real money then they get their asses sued by NCSoft.

What a fag

The guy who had the Heroes private server was apparently top figurehead in the community and went around organizing complete and total shutdown of any and all attempts at getting a private server made. On top of that, he also helmed several kickstarter and patreon programs that promised either a new server for City of Heroes/Villains or a spiritual successor to the game, and in reality these things turned out to be nothing more than him securing money to run the private server (and make considerable bank off of it).

Whats happening to the CoH subreddit now

massive censorship, I assume

very poor damage control + actual, unapologetic shills trying to cover shit up

Seeing how Orwellian and cult-like the whole thing was, I believe that the main motivation was simple ego.

that reminds me of how
>Castle was going to finally revisit AR and devices and make them less shit, after they were kept that way for literally years due to massive overreaction nerfs heaped onto them early in the game
>game murdered before he did it
the prophecy that the game would shut down before Geko's nerfs to AR/Devices came true. Or was the original balance guy EvilGeko? I can't remember anything besides the geko part.

damn and here i been waiting years for a remake or a private server thats sucks

someone should end him

Phil Leotardo had/has 100% control of the entire retail version of the game and who has access to it, and treated niggers who leaked like he was a fucking mob boss.
Imagine how big that made his dick feel. It was SOLELY for that.

>Vice puts out a poorly researched article while a story is still developing
What a shock

On top of all of this, soft brained retards are giving in to the gaslighting and hope by appeasing Lord Ego that he might let them in to see their old characters. Which won't fucking happen ever. Reddit has always been the location of mush brained morons and they were always easy to control. Even when confronted with the truth they'll hold on to a lie. They have no fire.

What the fuck, this is depressing. This Argentinian motherfucker is a real scumbag. Hope he gets what's coming to him.

Lets just get this fucking guy. Doesnt matter if you played the game, if you didnt even know it existed until today. This guy is everything thats wrong with this world and deserves to fucking burn in hell. His name is Leandro Pardini and he is the real fucking villain.

The funny part is that they could be in on it. Being a "celebrity" CoH community member got you in.

I'm Lawful Good and that's exactly why this man deserves to be the star of an ISIS video.

More likely what will happen is that, since this has all been going on, all the code and data has been transferred to a portable drive stored off residence somewhere so even if the Koreans tear the doors off his house he'll still have all the shit to start up another private server and begin the same vicious cycle once the heat dies down.

niche MMOs thrive on drama

Why the fuck did they make the subreddit for? To laugh at everyone who can't play the game?

none of them were really, they are just people who either cover game news (critikal) cover news of dead games (accursed farms) or covers news of mmos and more importantly dead mmos (nerdslayer)

Control, nothing more.
I get trying to hide the server out of fear of getting caught, but leading the community on only to line your pockets and squashing any attempts others make at getting a private server running is scummy. He wanted control and he wanted to exploit people for as much money as he could, nothing more. He doesn't care about the community and getting caught was clearly not his main concern.

ok?
then what is stopping Blizz from crushing all those private servers? they CAN do it, it just doesn't make any sense to....

One thing he keeps saying is, he kept it private because he doesn't want to get a Cease and Desist. He really emphasizes that. But you may be wondering:
>"Why not just keep your secret server and release the code anyways? It shouldn't compromise your server, infact it will smoke screen it further with absolutely no attention to it and less of a reason for people ro rat you out."

Well think about it, he doesn't want to get a cease and desist, and he doesn't want to give out the code, because he wants to own the game. He wants to bide his time and wait until the IP is public domain or other circumstances that put him out of reach of NCSoft lawyers, then he wants to be the ONLY server on the market where he can bring it back and make dosh. City of heroes may have made pennies for NCSoft, but fopr a small skeleton crew of people who put no real investment of their own into it, it's a fucking gold mine. He wants to monopolize and monetize the shit out of it for himself.

Gaslighting has no logic to it, just disinfo shills mucking around (much like you're doing right now)

I can only assume he means the community LEADERS who deceived their community and stole untold millions of dollars from them.

Right?

>Virtue
That was the designated gay server. The alphabet soup community flocked to Virtue and everybody knew it.

honestly no one is spared because if there was a secret, whos to say segs or w.e is only denying everything because of what happened

no one is innocent

>NCSoft west takes this opportunity of sudden news articles as a chance to launch a CoX server
imagine how funny it would be if a game from 2006 got more attention than whatever angeldemon PvP pay2"convenience" cash shop MMO they've released recently ever got. I for one don't care about their endless parade of lineageclones but hot damn some CoX was the good stuff

Because Virtue was also the unoffical RP server.

Champion here btw.

Same as what is happening in this thread except instead of being able to actually talk about it the fucker running it is also the same fucker being accused of everything so he's been free to delete everything he doesn't want to hear.

tell him, what's the worst that could happen?

Autists on the internet got mad because someone decided that the risk of receiving the litigant ass-reaming of a lifetime for the vague benefit of said autists wasn't worth it.

This wouldn't happen in Blizzard MMO.

Imagine the fucking good publicity NCSoft would earn if they threw this nigga in jail and released his server to the public for free, to be maintained by ad space on the launcher/in-game non-obtrusive ads and donations.

Probably, he loves shit like this.

I never played city of heroes and I'm following in these threads just to get an idea of what it's about. Leonardo is a grade A piece of shit and I get the anger now but do people really want to play this game again that bad? OR is it just cause he kept it all to himself all this time.

Have any gaming sites made an article yet? Or YouTubers?
my pipe dream is to make this a big enough that it gets the attention of NC Soft and we get a revival

>not playing the objectively inferior game

is this game still not defunct, what even is the state of it in 2019

Same as this thread, but more "civil" since it's reddit. The censoring has stopped since some mod, that apparently WASN'T in on it, decided to tone down the autobot.

>no one played the game when it was alive
>now pissed that it's being kept secret and only the people who ACTUALLY cared about it get to play
damn, dude. if you really gave a shit about the game you'd have been keeping up with this shit and gotten an invite.
This isn't even anything new, you're going to not believe me when I say this, but we have a fully functional pserver for matrix online, and for exteel too.

People have been wanting to play this game for almost a decade. They probably don't want it as bad anymore now, but these people have been coordinating the communities in which people actually gather to share their memories on how they loved the game and would do anything to play it again.

Honestly Champions Online lost its luster for me real damn fast. Maybe I just didn't get to the later content or have good enough friends to make it last.

It has a ridiculously great character creator and the stuff people are doing with it is fucking insane.

Beyond that it's shit m8.

>trip to blizzcon
Wrong, he got a ticket to blizzcon but never got to go because he couldn't pay out of pocket for the fees to even get to and stay at blizzcon

People have been literally murdered for less MMO fuckery in less shithole countries. I'm more than willing to bet there are some WHIIIIITE players that would put a machete into the back of his skull if they heard he had cucked them for almost as long as the game was out in the first place, then deleted it when he got found out.

oh shit, that's even worse

i'm not, investor reports prove that it was no longer profitable and was bleeding players since the f2p switch.

It only has basic functionality, it's not actually the game.

It's a read-only server you can get at titan network, it's free, they have a installer that also grabs the client for you. It's not a proper private server, it is multiplayer but you can only make characters and travel power around the game world and see and talk to people. That's it. Oh and also base building is coming, or maybe it's in? idk

This fucker stripped down his leaked code from his super secret private server to make a butchered chatbox so the whole community would worship him as a hero who managed to "salvage" a chatbox and character creator from NCSoft

it's the front by the people who this private server fiasco is all about. it's basically just the character creator and then a hub world to run around and chat in, there's no content

he was a well-known and respected member of the community before this broke, he had no real reason to hide his face.

It's the super sekrit club chatspace where Lean and his fagsquad get together to circlejerk to their hearts content, much in the same way that the Yea Forums mods had their little private IRC chat back when Yea Forums was on Yea Forums and the website owner was a white man.

Well what's not cool is that this whole time we've been told Paragon Chat will never become a private server, even though it suspiciously got more and more features over time and really feels like it could. And it turns out the guy(s) who made it have the actually source code and were running that secret private server. So Paragon chat, as much as I liked it, is a front to placate the community.

the irc chat still exists
had to use it last year when they were trying to censor the SCP: Secret Lab threads.

So who was the hero that spilled the beans?

also this. service cost for small scale 100+- game server ? pff you could run that in garage on aging workstation.
What was really happening is this people were paying for Leo faggots 6 years of easy life.

some angry redditor

This based neckbeard. A true hero. youtu.be/uUuQDcL2FoY

Youtuber named Destroyer Stroyer, although there had been reports about this server over the years and nobody believed them.

Now that I think about it I have a cousin a couple years back that was yelling me that he was playing a CoH private server and I thought he was just confused and playing champions online or something. Fuck I wanna go call him now.

Specially argentina's, just tip off the AFIP, chances are they will be on his ass for not giving them a cut

Jim Sterling might, he likes bitching about things in general even if they don't matter to him. Worth A Buy might (questionable as he is actually really corrupt himself though). DreamcastGuy would but only if others do as he is a pathetic follower who just copies other people's opinions ideas. Upper Echelon might. Skill Up probably would if he has the time, he has a lot of integrity. Geeks+Gamers won't because there are no women to complain about as he is a raging incel. What we really need though is Jason Schrier from Kotaku.

pewdiepies video response is up

Leandro himself, this whole thing is just a way to get even more attention and make himself even more valuable of a person within the community now that it's publicly known that he has had the holy grail in his possession for 7 years.

Apparently some youtuber reported it and suddenly his posts were deleted on the subreddit and it magically got 4 new moderators all at once.

fucking kek, dont even care if true

Eh, not a big fan of jim, but he's worth contacting I guess.

Jason Schreier would 100% be on Leandro's side

I saw people sending Wollie and Pat tweets about it so prehaps it'll show up on the next podcast.

It's always been crazy to me how far Ship has come while Titans has stagnated. Guess we know why now.

bad game
get some taste

I've seen for years the City of Titans people were scam artists, their progress has been so fucking low. Ship of Heroes bursts onto the scene in like late 2016? and is already way ahead of everyone else.

Yeah I basically gave up on Titans when I started following Ship. Still waiting but the quarterly videos, roadmap and the constant Twitter updates have long given me hope.

What is it about superhero MMOs that are so fucking mediocre

All of their demos look like ass, looks like stock unreal shit you could do in a month of work, and they've been at it for 7 years

Would be kinda funny to see real ads on all those billboards in game.

>who e celeb should talk about this

holy fucking shit N E C K yourself. i understand letting news fly but seeing how many people actually care enough to even GUESS a specific person for the job to talk about the server shit is really fucking baffling

Worst part is that with the actual server/code out there, people could very easily have just created a legal private server at this point. This retard could have just uploaded it anonymously and people would already have made something similar to Ragnarok's eAthena by now.

>CO was just SO amateurish and cheap.
Playing the game right now since all this info came out and you're right. This game is a loot box ocean for whales to swim in and furry ERP with each other. I'm having a bit of fun with it, but look at that screenshot, I just took that and look at the tool tip. It's such an easy fix, but it's not a lootbox so why bother?

yeah but that doesn't funnel money into his bank account you see.

Hello Leandro, are you scared of people with millions of views making a video about you?

>retard
He's not retarded if he just got years of money in his pocket now and lives in a country that lets him likely escape legal retribution for it. He's just an exploitative asshole.

Some snitch who couldnt keep his mouth shut has ruined the private server for everyone involved and caused a shit ton of reedit drama because he got banned. why else would everyone know about it?

shit i wonder what the private part of a private server means.

Mate, just send it to Cr1tikal. He has an obsession with it that borders on insanity. The only way he won't cover it is if he's already in on it.

Attached: 1554311692960.png (1158x974, 848K)

I just don't like how classes were set up in this game, or the gearing system. City of heroes class archetypes and dual powersets are much more my Jam. I also REALLY like the IO enhancement system and minmaxing IO set bonuses.

The tech wasnt there yet to do it right, and MMOs are a dead genre now that it is.
Keep in mind CoH was launched fucking 15 years ago, and they didnt think they could even technically DO capes for the first few years.

Leandro, just stop

It's because they are only made for profit so they become easy mode lootbox gamble games. People dress up and ERP as werewolves and spend way more money than the actual players so the game caters to them and becomes shit in the process.

Send it to those hackfrauds ShillUp and the other dude who make Layman gayming or whatever the fuck.

It doesn't mean sucking money from people, Leandro.

>The only way he won't cover it is if he's already in on it.
I wouldn't even be surprised if he was. If they reached out to some random fat fuck redditor just because he posted a bunch of screenshots from back in the day, they probably reached out to cr1tikal as well.

So what are your hopes? What do you realistically think is gonna happen?

Attached: 1552405733979m.jpg (473x1024, 47K)

Leandro scammed people on multiple projects while pretending to be working on something he already had.

Nothing, someone might hack him and release the source code but thats probably best case.

Leo shill pls go

The thing that gets me the most is, imagine that people could have been playing and enjoying this for 6 years already. By now, the game will have been long past it's prime (kind of was even when it was still in dev towards the end), so the only people to play and enjoy it will be nostalgia players, rather than anyone who could have wanted to, and that much exposure for so many years might have amounted to something even.

so blind and offended, to even be called the guy is absurd. im saying you guys should learn to spread info yourselves, big names and who ever are not good enough because they might side with the opposite faction youre fighting against. they take credit, which is also what were fighting for. its so dumb to turn to someone who also is profiting off people for bullshit news and anything to get attention on their site, blog or pooptube.

just create accounts on forums you visit or knew if still up. spread what is said here than telephone it to someone who has no real understanding of the situation and are just clueless but only in on it because its just a hot topic for them as of now which means views and money etc

you would be doing a better thing for yourself and the community by taking action instead of passing the action just because of your own position in life, dont degrade your opinion or voice, dont let someone else speak for you

look at swgwmu
has that amounted to anything?

I can't wait to see those inept morons get the facts wrong and then somehow attribute this snafu to racism, transphobia, or pedophilia.

Those guys are fucking retarded.

Realistically? NCsoft drops the fucking hammer on him and we get no private server ever again. What I hope for is what said.

Someone breaks into his house and steals the source code without harming him. But maybe taking a shit on his kitchen floor before they go.

Nothing, really. There will be a day or two more of impotent outrage, but nothing meaningful will happen.

Enjoyment for the people playing, at the very least.

If you had just posted a fucking torrent of the code and then made your super secret exclusive dicksucking server no one would fucking care and everyone would be able to play it.

Except you're funneling money from a fake project and taking money for "donations" on an illegal private server

>hopes
He gives up the data and wishes he was dead
>realistically
He refuses to give up the data and actually dies either from suicide from fear of impending legal action from NCsoft, or from a fellow favela dweller paying him a visit.

So how'd all this get out, anyways? Did someone just get fed up with it and let it rip, or what?

>has that amounted to anything?

It has a release, and nearly the entire game is playable. What more did you want?

>big names and who ever are not good enough because they might side with the opposite faction youre fighting against
Lol no, Leandro. Also, I don't have a million subs, they do, and they're more than happy to pick it up.

>escape legal retribution for it

You gravely underestimate the severity of his crimes and the lengths companies would go to pursue this.

Nothing, but maybe the less brainswashed part will stop sending him money.

Best-case scenario is that Leandro wasn't the only one that had access to the leaked files and someone else leaks it to the public.

Something smells fishy.
Could it be that they just recently got a private server up and running and hushed it out of fear for what whoever made cohcov might have to say about it? 7 years seems a bit of a long time to play secret agent without any whistleblower and this is only for a pirated source code for a game.

Could this be a smaller than believed assfuck within a larger more dramatized assfuck?

A guy got an invite, found that it wasn't nearly the same without a decent number of people playing, determined that everyone who would be banned if he leaked had already stopped playing a while, then he went full steam ahead and put it all out there.

This is what I was thinking too, I don't think Leandro will release it, but someone else might.

if he wasn't paying taxes on those "donations," the government would probably like to have a word with him.

The guy accused of running it said himself that they've been running it for 6 years.

>has ruined the private server for everyone involved
good, they're all total faglords

In late 2018 there weren't even 3k accounts made on the pserver forums, and you needed an account there to play the game. Given the server has been running since at least 2013, it's not all that many people. Add to the fact all the CoH communities were censoring talk of it.

He could have released the code, you retard. He kept it all to himself.

>vast majority of major figures in a game's fandom conspire for their own benefit secretly for years
this is what really gets me about the whole thing, how often does shit get this bad?

There's been whistle blowers and mentions before, but everyone always disregarded them. There's a post on the titan network forums in 2015 basically about CoH private servers and how they don't exist, guess they were full of shit.

I remember back in like 2014-15ish being in a Guildwars thread on Yea Forums and CoH got brought up and some guy was telling me CoH veterans are shitposters and keep posting in Guildwars2 General from their "secret private server" I thought that was non-sense until now. So keep in mind people defending these shitheads may actually be on the server.

>Leandro

here is your (You)

He's not going to release shit now because everyone knows he's the only one who has the code. And he wouldn't do it before because he's a fucking asshole. So the game is never coming back thanks to this faggot retard.
