Remember, all players have played for 47,360,000 hours.
When it comes to the amount of time spent playing each Archetype…well…ya’ll…we gotta talk about this. Science is at the bottom with 173,432.Ī breakdown of character Archetypes shows that Brutes are the most popular, there are 178,213 of them. When it comes to a character’s origin Magic is the most picked, accounting for 347,517 characters. As mentioned before, Veracor takes the top for Everlasting. That goes to Indomitable whose highest is 555. There is some good news for Reunion though! They aren’t at the bottom when it comes to the single person with the highest number of Veteran Levels. Reunion is at the bottom, and it’s starting to feel a bit like I’m picking on them, but I swear I’m not, they have earned 118,713 Veteran Levels. So clearly not EVERYONE is standing around the D…at least not all the time. When those Veteran Levels are broken down by server though, Excelsior is once again the king of the hill with 539,566 Veteran Levels. The highest character, Veracor from Everlasting tops the charts at Veteran Level 2,273! 105,017 of them are from Excelsior while 34,748 are from Reunion.ġ,706,264 Veteran Levels have been earned across all the servers. Of the 1.2 million characters that have been made on Homecoming 330,397 of them have been played this year. Reunion is again at the bottom with 141,732 characters. So if you’re ever trying to come up with a name for a new character and all your ideas are taken…well, now you know why. Once again Excelsior is in the lead, accounting for 336,026 of those characters. At least half of those are mine…seriously, I’ve got a terrible alt addiction…send help. Reunion takes up the rear with just 4,232,000 hours, the slackers.ġ,207,409 characters have been made on Homecoming so far. But I won’t admit to how many of those hours are mine…it’s a lot though. It’s all the roleplayers standing around in Pocket D. Broken down by server Excelsior accounts for the largest chunk, 14,060,000 hours. Since Homecoming launched in April the game has been played for 47,360,000 hours, that’s an amazing 5,402 years. So, while all those numbers before talking about concurrent players may sound scary and a little bit low, the reality is there are more than 30,000 people playing on the City of Heroes Homecoming servers right now AND that number is climbing! In January, that number was 31,061 and in February it actually climbed a bit to 32,164. It’s also interesting to see that since the start of the year the Homecoming team has started tracking the number of active accounts. Check out the table below for a month by month breakdown of accounts and concurrent users. So yes, it is pretty clear that the population of the servers is on the decline. The average number of concurrent users in February 2020 was 1,861. You can compare that to the 3,495 peak in February 2020, a pretty significant difference. At its peak, in May 2019 the servers had 9,998 users online concurrently. Since the servers launched in April 2019 159,537 accounts have been made on the Homecoming servers. Well, recently the Homecoming developers released a few statistics to help shed some light on the situation. You’ll certainly have noticed that the population has declined quite a bit. If you’re like me then you might be curious about how the City of Heroes Homecoming server is doing.
