Overview
There are five publicly accessible servers that run the City of Heroes game. Four of these servers are all physically located in Canada, with Reunion in Germany.
Additionally, there are the Beta Testing Shards, of which there are presently four.
Server Order
On the server selection screen, the first server listed is the most recent one you have accessed. The remaining servers are listed in increasing order of current load. While the load does not directly mean population, high populations are the largest and most common causes of server load. An account that has never logged in before will not have a "last accessed" server at the top of the list, but instead will show all servers in current-load order.
Please note that if a server starts having technical issues, it will shoot to the top or the bottom of the list, depending on its current load, regardless of how many or how few players are connected to it.
Server Differences
As of the server merge, the only real differences between servers are the hardware requirements (more popular servers have more/better hardware).
A more "emotional" difference between the servers depends on the community that has built up surrounding each one.
Server List
Server | Average Population | Notes | Community |
---|---|---|---|
Torchbearer |
Medium | The first server to be brought up by Homecoming | |
Excelsior | High | Currently the highest population server | |
Indomitable | Medium | Unoffical PVP Server | |
Everlasting | High | Unofficial RP Server | |
Reunion | Low | The official European server. |
