imagine if WoW was shut down tonight and only one guy had the only working emulator and only allowed 100-200 people who sucked his cock the most on his forum in to play it while claiming it doesn't exist. in fact, you can't prove Nostra isn't still running but YOU'RE NOT INVITED NERD
Okay everyone, it's time we stop with the useless floundering around. Janitors are auto-saging our threads, despite the fact they are 100% game-related and despite the fact there are many unrelated threads and countless repeated threads (such as about Persona, Smash, Minecraft Steve, etc). No more trying to dox Leo (regardless if the scumbag deserves it or not) - we need these threads to last as long as possible.
It's time we need to professionally organize our efforts. Too much of our information is scattered about and we need to collect it. I'm creating a Pastebin that will accumulate everything we know into one location so that it will be easier to find and distribute what we need; it is currently in progress and needs your contributions. I will post the progress thus far in the next post.
In regards to our future actions, we have three options, I personally recommend that we share this information to as many other people as possible. Many of these game journalists, as well as those commenting on the articles, seem to be lacking an incredible amount of information for the subject their covering. In addition, it is highly likely that those in the Twitch/YouTube scene who care enough about City of Heroes either are invested in the server or do not care enough to be involved. Regardless of such, we need to reach out to any and all possible internet faces and share with them the information. From my own experience, Bellular handles video game news very professionally and an individual named Tommy Ruin covers an immense amount of World of Warcraft private servers - hopefully these may be two more people we can count on.
It's time to get our act together. We still have the time and ability to both save the game we love and prevent further defamation of our beloved game in one fell swoop.
I just want to have side discussion about the game. So besides Fitness and travel powers. What other side power pools did you guys pursue or enjoy using? What did you get for combat purposes or for style reasons? I always thought superspeed tornado was cool but impractical.

Can someone become a face to counter the disinformation campaign. Many comments on news articles seem to defend Leo. There needs to be a concise 5-10 minute video that spits out facts with links for evidence. People need to see that Leandro was running a pseudo cult with fear mongering to keep people in line "I'll ban your wife, friends and anyone who associated with you"
Henry Murphy
I will never forget about what he’s done, but I would be happy if he ended up releasing the code. At least he would be making things right (or covering his own ass. Either way we get the code)

I've played CoH but I don't consider myself in the community, I would just like to play a private server for a game long gone like I do with Vanilla WoW or Dark Age of Camelot. Does Leandro operate Paragonchat? I heard he does. I saw his post saying emulation is impossible for City of Heroes. I've heard rumors that he has works on the "Spiritual successors" and is in league with those "spiritual successors" preventing them from ever being more than just an idea. Anyone have proof of that. I know he denied the existence of his private server. I know he states emulation was impossible when he was already working on his private server. I've heard that people from the potential sequels were on his private server. Did he threaten to ban them or give them access to his private server to prevent them from stealing future profits? I know of only one group trying to recreate CoH, SEGS. Was anyone else trying to recreate CoX?
I don't care about their community, I don't want to be apart of it. I just want to play the game. The game =/= their community

Aiden Stewart
Was it THAT good of a MMO or do people just want it for archival purposes?
Paragonchat was an extremely stripped down version of the game rebranded as a chatroom. Leandro promoted misinformation by saying they were actively working on a CoX emulator and that was as far as they could get, while in fact they had the entire game already working.
He did this to make sure no one else would develop a pserver, allowing him to continue jerking himself off to his power fantasy by hosting the last remaining CoX server

That's because we don't know who the fucker is. We do however know this prick and the fact that he's had his grubby cumstained hands on the source code for over 6 goddamn years.

>Champion's Online have a better character creator?
Maybe? Probably. I think it had some finer detail options like editing left and right pieces. I don't know if it can match CoH's sheer amount of costume pieces, but maybe over the years it did. Even though CoH's models are aged as fuck, I still don't really like CO's heavily cell shaded design.
CO is still alive, but it's more like a zombie and it's microtransaction hell I heard.

as much as Yea Forums makes fun of blacks for "gimme dats", they sure do behave in a similar manner...

would appear that way Im on the outside looking in and I feel he should release the code. I dont think people need to kill the fucking guy or hurt him but I understand that people are pissed. Shoulda/Coulda/Woulda but he made the wrong choices. If he just gives out the code he will be forgotten within the next few months if not by the end of April. Also this.

Aaron Perry
How is there no one else working to remake CoH? From my understanding there was about 100,000 people playing when NCsoft shut it down. It seems like there are maybe a 2,000+ people who would want to be able to play an open private server plus the few people from Leandro's server who probably play it and suffer not be able to play with friends.
>no, he was given it by a dev with the intent to keep the game alive, instead he has Sauce of this? Maybe the guy who was working give him the source code as a gift and leo can do the fuck he wants with it
Jaxson Reed
As much as I want to believe this he was in the middle of apex and I doubt he wanted to awkwardly explain to a bunch of 12 year olds who don't know or care what it's about. I'd say it's not worth until a few days passes. You never know.

He sabotaged all other attempts that weren't directly supported by him, and the ones that were just funneled money into his asshole for the server and his private life.

It's nice to see material consequences for petty forum lord autist horseshit for once. I never even played CoH, I just liked to read about the lore back in the day and that's why I'm monitoring these threads (Speaking of which did they ever reverse the retarded decision to replace the 5th Column with a way lamer villain group?)
Anyways, I'm glad this faggot is probably living in fear and if some nut kills him I won't care. Sue me jannies.

People talk about sabotage and it seems believable but is there any shred of evidence? Like I can see motive; If I have the only working CoX server I can keep people under my control and have them donating money to me to keep it running. Competition hurts my finances. The only issue is if he wan concerned about money he would have invited much more people. To me it seemed more like an ego thing. He wanted to be in a selective and exclusive cult with money being a bonus. But still, no evidence of him actively sabotaging. Just lying and potentially dissuading others from making a server; which can be considered sabotage.
Matthew Edwards
So the dev knew the guy and give him the codes as a gift So what's the problem? Learn to read nigger
Andrew Smith
>People talk about sabotage and it seems believable but is there any shred of evidence? read the past threads ffs, he was involved with most of the reddits, the forums, the "revival" projects, and more.
Your third point is exactly correct He's a beta male who suddenly found himself with exclusive control over a completely unique resource that had a semi-sizeable demand, so he used it to essentially create a cult worshipping him and milk his followers for massive amounts of money under the guise of funding the server
He was making over 8k a month just by keeping his club secret
William Powell
We helped keep the outrage alive. If it wasnt for people getting angry at this then there would be nothing to fight for. That counts for something.

There is a literal symbiote faction, and there are various costume parts to turn you into a symbiote albeit some are behind lockboxes. As for an actual symbiote archetype? No, there isnt. You'll have good luck with the Infernal AT.
Jose Miller
Not entirely true. A lot of the people behind these side projects have been invited to Leandro's once he finds out how passionate they are for the game. After that invite, they are playing CoH again and the spark for recreating it has been sated. They join the server and live out their dream. You got to admit, Leandro is kind of based in that way.
Connor Sanders
Haven’t been in any threads since the first where I left some shitposts cause this game sucks but I wanted to let you know you guys have my support
Jason Smith
>Implying it's not his peeps doing damage control so he can whine that Yea Forums deaththreated him
Not really a cult, more like secret society. A cult has some kind of superstition tying the group together. Whereas a secret society is sort of like a gathering of sophisticated individuals who coordinate for a purpose.
Leo was clever enough to only invite people who REALLY wanted to play the game, and thus would have every motivation to not leak information about the p servers existence
Eli Thomas
If he would open the floodgates people would instantly see that he's using the original server code and pressure him into releasing it as it is happening now.
If he wanted to save the game don't you think the first thing he will do it's uploading the whole thing on the internet instead of just give all to one guy?
Nolan Murphy
It's not, cripplechan triangulated his position and they're figuring out how to steal his shit so they can release the data.

He seems smart in an evil manipulative way. But as a businessman he seems dumb. He could have easily increased his earning by making it open and asking for donations. If you're making $8,000 a month from 100-3000 active players, imagine how much more you could make from 3,000 - 20,000

Levi Morris
Not unique to CoX. FFXI and EQ private servers have some of the same issues, mostly revolving around RMT/Real Money Trading. People willing to pay thousands for certain items/raids in the games. Hell, private funding is what keeps Daybreak's (the dev/publisher) Everquest going along with a dedicated communtiy who actually took on the dev jobs.
Funny part was there was people willing to keep CoX servers going, which included rich nerds, but Ncsoft refused the offers.
Juan Reed
giving it to someone he thought was trustworthy insulated him from possible legal action if that someone did the right thing and released the code.
Colton Morgan
why can't some people grasp the fact that source code is a thing and that he not only stole it, didn't share it, and actively sabotaged other peoples' efforts to get private servers developed? we don't want on his server. we want the fucking source code so we can make our own, and he's hoarding it.

I don't care what happens to him afterwards as long as the source code gets re-distributed. He's getting sued regardless of what happens anyway.

The first few threads about this were raw unfiltered rage and hoping for his painful death.
Samuel Nelson
My issue is; he already facing penalty for having the source code. Why not just leak it. You think NCsoft is going to go from "We were gonna give this guy a C&D but now let's just hire a hitman to take him out, and I guess his family too. He'd appreciate that"
Gavin Reyes

CoXfags are really that retarded. These are the same guys that blame Cryptic for the death of CoX when it was NCsoft that did it and use it corpse to run Guild Wars 2.

Jeremiah Barnes

Benjamin Carter
Plenty of other games (ffxi, everquest, even fucking Earth and Beyond, an EA game) have ran private and very well as long as they were professional about it. CoX was a special case because the code was thought unavailable and a game community leader actively quashed indepedent attempts at reverse engineering and trying anyways.
And for what reason would he release the source code to the public if he didn't have the authorization for it? I don't know who owns the IP of this game, but they could fuck him up in court if he did that.
Cooper Hughes
>How did he get so much influence? he bribed various mods and prominent members of the community with the chance to be in his secret club.

Interesting. How long would it take to get ahold of all that stuff without paying money? I'm already heavily invested in WoW, but having something to scratch my Symbiote RP itch would be really nice.
Same, seems like some fags are butthurt probably because they got kicked from the server in question.
Nathan Green
>CoXfags going to kill someone for not inviting them Holy shit
Eli Thomas
This is the faggot who is in the private server, denied it existed before admitting to it, told everybody "lol we WERE gonna make it public but nah ;p" then played victim and wrote a page long shitpost calling everyone retarded. This cunt's in America isn't he? He's complicit and could probably face actual jailtime.

Because the only person who could've known that the source code came from Leandros would've been the one guy who gave him the source the code, and the guy who gave him the source code wouldn't talk about it because he would be fucking himself over and he would've been sued too.

Those shills can’t do shit because they are paid, nothing can possibly top determined autists who do it for free
Adrian Garcia
Still, he isn't exactly in the wrong for not releasing the code. He did made a server and invited people to play on it, but as he was the manager, you must abide by his rules. That's how a free society works, bro.
Kevin Bailey
My god imagine his sweet droopy 37 year old lips on your lips
Luke Scott
He's just an autist trying to keep a private server, private. And for good reason. He fostered and maintained a healthy community for SIX YEARS, he knows each person personally and wants them to be able to enjoy the game without fear of C&D. Secondly he himself doesn't want to get sued into oblivion by NCsoft, so he keeps the server well hidden using his status as a reddit moderator. He doesn't force you to pay to play, just an invite only system with an agreement to stay silent on its existence.
I agreed with Yea Forums, until I did more research. Now I feel bad for Leo
Logan Morales
Anyone who doesn't understand the uncontrollable mob mentality of the internet and willingly provokes it in 2019 is a retard and probably deserves whatever happens to them.

he's in the wrong for gaslighting the community and sabotaging other peoples' attempts at developing and gaining what he was given for free.

Inky ooze Tunneling power cost about 250k questionite, so that would take quite a while. Some of the costume piece might be in the auction house for +100 global. All of this require effort and hard work. Free players are limited to the Free Archetype. It how the game make their money and kept it afloat for this long. You could unlock these archtype via ingame event that happen on certain months, or grind for global>convert to Questionite>convert to cash shop money to buy them or the costume in the cash shop. championswiki.com/index.php?title=Archetypes
>Symbiote RP >you just want to hang out in Caprice >CAPRICE Yeah, if you want some ERP action.

Christian Green
Unless he's being awfully forward with all the paper work behind the scene, I don't see how he can disprove much. That, and if it did cheat his taxes like he lamented about several times, then that's not going to be in any books anyways. This geared podcast is a shame.
Josiah Lee
not giving these fucks downloads, if someone could re host or tldr much appreciated
>Still, he isn't exactly in the wrong for not releasing the code You're right, he isn't. It wasn't his obligation to make a functioning server of the game, and no doubt all the people in the secret club are very thankful to him. And whether he was "morally" in the wrong or not about keeping it a secret for 6 years is up to you to decide. However, what i do think he was in the wrong, was in manipulating the community and actively sabotaging any external attempts of creating a private CoH server.
Juan Wright
So i want to know if i should give a shit about CoH, How was the game's "skill" system? Like could you choose exact powers from different trees? Or was it that you chose class x and specialization y and you were stuck with that?
The only mmo i've ever played was Mabinogi and they sorta let you pick your skills from the entire pool, so if you wanted something out of every skill tree you could get it, and it would actually be good with enough time and investment.
Xavier Richardson
this game sucked back when I first played it, why so many threads for mediocrity?
can ANYONE name a good MMO? CoX was just as bad as most shovelware MMOs
Charles Nguyen
Literal faggot here. The fucker is scrawny and ugly and looks like an actual AIDs patient, which wouldn't be surprising. I would stay away from him.

>without fear of C&D There are so many MMOs with private servers. Even fucking WoW has them. There are ways to do private servers without having to fear C&Ds and they could've been getting worked on all these years if he wasn't a giant, selfish, cunt.
Nathan Torres
Imagine kissing him deeply and his tongue entering your mouth
Wyatt Clark
Infernal Powerset is quite literally Spawn, hellchains and everything.
It was an adequate game, i played it for a few months. Gameplay wise i thought it was a solid 6/10, story and graphics 2/10. The skill system was the biggest draw for me.
But im more interested how CoH worked rather than how it was in comparison to the only mmo ive played. Actually, i played OSRS too, so nvm.
Xavier Parker
>build his own server He didn't build shit. The server was given to him by a former employee with the idea for him to make it public. The roach decided to hoard it instead and run a secret server and profit from donations.
Jeremiah Lewis
So how do you explain his house picture?
Mason Lee
Well you're going to have a fun time just hanging out in Caprice. Trust me, fourth of the playerbase never leave the Caprice Club because of the E(RP) shenanigan. The rest of the game is okay as it heavily dependent on events and open world raid.
What this user said . The Scourage/Cursed Archetype
Nathaniel Morgan
running a public server with stolen code from a game is a terrible idea
Juan Thompson
it's been a while but ill do my best, anyone else correct me if you can. basically you picked an archetype and an origin. the archetype determined which powersets you unlocked and what priority they had (e.g. if you went tanker you were primarily defensive abilities like taunts and self buffs and secondarily offense). the origin would determine what sort of enhancements (the game's stand in for equipment) you could get later in the game. you assigned the enhancements to your abilities in order to strengthen certain attributes about them, and the enhancements themselves got more and more complex and specific as you progressed.
William Gomez
You chose a class, then picked a primary and secondary power set from that class. Scrappers, for example, picked a Melee Attack Primary set, and a Defensive Secondary set, while Masterminds picked a Pet Summoning Primary set, and a Support Secondary set.
Within those sets, there was a huge variety. Masterminds could summon robots, ninjas, street thugs, mercenaries, zombies, even demons and wild animals. A Scrapper could choose swords, martial arts, Wolverine claws, street brawling, and more.
You would choose a new power every few levels, and you could eventually choose to supplement your class's powersets with shared power sets that included travel powers like Flight and Super Speed, and also things like Leadership, Medicine, and Fitness. As you approached max level, you could get yet another class-specific power set to shore up weakness or strengthen everything.
Once you hit max level, you could begin the Incarnate system, a series of sidegrades that could massively boost your character.
Benjamin Lee
You chose a primary and secondary power "pool" at character creation along with travel powers at certain levels. Everything was static after that.
Hero Archtypes dictated which types of pools you could choose from. If I was a Blaster, for example, I would have a primary pool of Offense and a secondary pool of Defense or Control. Masterminds generally had Minions as a primary and Support as a secondary.
Austin Rogers
so is taking money to build something you already secretly have
if he released the code, other people would take the heat and he could still rule over his little fiefdom
Ayden Barnes
There are more people playing D&D at my local game shop than people on his secret server.

>running a public server with stolen code from a game is a terrible idea He didn't have to run it just release the code anonymously.
Nathaniel Powell
he didn't need to run a public server, but it would have been nice if he had maybe shared the source code, or, you know, not bribed prominent members of the community to shut down discussion and speculation about developing their own projects to make private servers.

My local game shop isn't public. You need an invitation. If you tell anyone about it we ban you and anyone that you previously invited to the game shop. We take Dungeons and Dragons very seriously and we don't want Wizards of the Coast to shut us down.
Gabriel Watson
because they want an invite or already play on the server?
Logan Hall
We're all cancers, user. There is a reason why the Club Caprice is mock by everyone else in the game.
Juan Sanchez
Do you need a license to play DnD or something?
Connor Morgan
It's just another shitty skinner box but with gimmicky setting. If it's so old that nobody remembers how bad it was that doesn't mean it was good.
Podcast girl was definitely in these threads. She talked about reddit as an afterthought, and described everything that happened here.
Noah Rodriguez
There weren't any real sidegrades to choose from. Power content was locked to whatever pool you chose, plus the incarnates and hero patrons near the end of the game. Some patron powers were absolutely phenomenal in PVP, but for the most part they weren't that great.
Jonathan James
I don't see why we should wish death on someone for hosting a server privately for 6 years in secret, even if it was my favorite game.

Stay mad, MMO peasant. Imagine being unironically upset because you weren't invited into a secret club of people with shit taste playing shitty game. I bet you are among those faggots who constantly shit all over the board with WoW Classic threads.

Did anyone see if they got a patreon bump or something, because this is some weird shit to pretend this was all somewhat public knowledge

There's no way. I've searched for a City of heroes private server and the only thing I ever got pointed to was SEGS and Paragonchat. I didn't want to play a shallow husk of CoH. I wanted to play a superhero MMO. I never would have guessed Paragonchat was a smokescreen for a fully functioning private server.
it wasn't well known except as an urban legend. whenever someone brought it up they either got shadowbanned from whatever thing they were posting on or they got ridiculed by skeptics or shills.
the dude who owns it is obviously spiteful enough that he kept this in the dark and gaslit anyone who even discussed the concept of making a private server, i think we have more chance of ncsoft bringing the game back than getting any source code from this dude.
Brandon Moore
It is imperative that something be done in real life this guy and his cult are an experts of internet discussion manipulation. For years they have manipulated discourse to hide their shit and you can clearly see the dialogue is being manipulated in these threads. The forums have been moved, the server has been moved, they're throwing pocket sand in everybody's eyes and regrouping elsewhere. Obviously they have no intention of giving up so you threaten some real life it's the only way now. Threat is enough, just fear you know.
So what were the great and crappy powers in CoH? I haven't played since it was just CoH but this topic has me hankering for a time when "control" was an actual archetype rather than the trinity
He's already in the process of changing the server/forum addresses, he's going deeper into hiding

Justin Scott
It becomes extremely suspect when someone claims to love something extensively and then hold a very indifferent interest on it only some short time afterwards. If a relative died, sure I would be upset about then than now, but I would still have strong feelings about it. This would be the equivalent of him saying he doesn't care they died and it's for this reason it makes people extremely suspicious. Sure, saying he was involved is a large stretch, but it makes him more probable a candidate now than not, and ruling out the possibility is equally ignorant as claiming he is involved on that statement alone.
Kevin King
It's just the damage controllers flooding the thread. Everyone else is just trying to keep the thread from getting deleted.
