This article contains information about a past event in Homecoming: City of Heroes/Villains. It is provided for historical purposes.

Overview

In response to the Black Friday announcement, City of Heroes players gathered in Atlas Park on the Virtue server on September 8, 2012, at 5:00 PM Eastern, in a show of support for the developers at Paragon Studios.

Before the Rally

The event was first announced by TonyV on the City of Heroes and Titan Network forums in the early hours of September 5. DJ Pheonyx of The Cape Radio was quick to offer to broadcast the Unity Rally live, and word began to spread rapidly on various social media sites. Players began suggesting that those in attendance should hold torches as a symbolic display of the flame that they carried for the game.

Rally Day

Aftermath

Because of the overwhelming response, the servers automatically created new instances of Atlas Park. At the highest count, there were 33 instances of Atlas Park on the Virtue server. This led to the creation of the AP33 rallying cry of the SaveCoH movement.
