| − | :Wow, that was fast, I linked to the article and immediately wrote it, and I got a save conflict because you'd already saved the stub. :-) I added some more information to it. I might come back later and add comments about server population and "role-playingness." I can't dig up any information yet about the Korean server(s), but if I can find something, I'll add it. ---[[User:TonyV|TonyV]] 15:57, 8 Feb 2006 (CST)

| − | :: http://dotn.evilgeniuses.org/phpBB2/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif At least you found the link to the knowledge base. I've looked for that so many times! And the only reason I was able to get it up so quickly is because Lady_Athyna had just posted it on the CoH boards and I was thinking about putting that info in the wiki anyway. --[[User:StarGeek|StarGeek]] 17:27, 8 Feb 2006 (CST)

| − | There are currently 17 servers that run the City of Heroes and City of Villains game. 15 live servers and 2 test servers. The live servers are functionally identical, as are the test servers. However your Geographic location will be a determining factor as to which one you connect to. You must also have an active account appropriate to the server you're connecting to.

| − | In North America, the live servers are: Champion, Freedom, Guardian, Infinity, Justice, Liberty, Pinnacle, Protector, Triumph, Victory, Virtue.

| − | In Europe, the liver servers are: Defiant, Union, Vigilance, Zukunft (''[[wiktionary:future#Translations|future]]'').
| + | : I think that makes sense, sure. Downtime is referenced at [[Technical Issues]] but it could be helpful to have info on it here as well. -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 15:33, 3 April 2012 (UTC) |

| − | The two test servers are both refered to as [[Training Room]], one is in North America, one in Europe.

| − | : Bleh, it still looks odd. It needs to be more concise. I also can't seem to properly word this statement. "These servers, like most servers on the internet, are accessible from anywhere in the world. The only stipulation is that you have purchased the appropriate box for the geographic region you're connecting to." That is not entirely true as tehre are export laws and such. Curse my ineolquence. --[[User:Konoko|Konoko]] 23:49, 16 March 2006 (PST)

| − | :While a server nickname section seems to be irrevocably mired in NPOV-land, there are a few references that leave a bad taste in my mouth. Triumph: The bit about themed SGs seems pejorative and unverifiable. Victory: The bit about 'Badge Server'. Currently, Champion, Freedom, Guardian, Justice and Pinnacle have more characters in Badge-Hunter than Victory. Not that BH is definitive, but it is telling. Protector: The bit about blind invites. Again, pejorative and unverifiable. --[[User:Sapph|Sapph]] 19:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

| − | ::o.o yeah, a number of those are pretty off, I've never heard anyone refer to guardian as the redheaded step child server either.. when it was down, it was usually along with several others.. My above posts where mostly in jest (though, Guardian does seem to have more cats on it than anywhere else..), as far as badges though, we'll certainly be able to tell soon when [[City Vault]] goes live.--[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 21:51, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

| − | Let's keep the server nicknames friendly, folks. I just rolled back some changes where someone had inserted references to a "noob" server and a bunch of "dead" servers. I don't care if you don't like particular servers, I have my least favorites, too. But let's keep the trolling confined to the official forums, please. --[[User:TonyV|TonyV]] 16:47, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

| − | | + | |
| − | : Okay, since it wasn't clear the first time, I'm not going to have references to "dead" servers in this article. It's derogatory, judgmental, and completely subjective. The only "dead" server is one that literally has a population of zero, and this isn't the case for any server. Please do not add this back in again. --[[User:TonyV|TonyV]] 05:37, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In order to prevent the "dead server" references from returning, I've put a 7-day protection on the article. If you wish to see those changes made, '''please discuss them here'''. If you have any other changes you wish to see, please request them on the talk page and an admin can make them -- or wait until the protection expires. Sorry for the inconvenience. -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 15:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

| − | :Not surprising to see in something 'anyone can edit' there's always an oligarchy whose opinions are put above everyone else and will lock down anything they can to stop dissenting views. --[[User:Shinyblcklatexkitty|Shinyblcklatexkitty]] 09:42, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

| − | ::::Gasp! Triumph, my dear sweet home, not friendly? Well, I did get one person recently that went in to some tirade about me having a slow computer and playing slow then wanted to 'kill' me (he was quick to say not me but my character). He was immediately ignored and I have not seen him since. It was a rather disturbing incident, especially after only a day or two before he started asking me very personal questions... some people, I guess. -[[User:Blue Orchid|Blue Orchid]] 18:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

| − | | + | |
| − | ::o.o actually, no, not "anyone can edit" we strongly discourage people who have never heard of the game and only speak piglatin from editing. Aside from that, the reason for such lock downs (temporarily too, instead of perm) is like having a camera pointed at a wall that ppl like to graffiti on. We simply require the graffitier to do complicated murals instead of just writing their name.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ::Marking something as dead is an opinion, and isn't suppose to be on the page.. Putting dead on their with an explanation or as a mark for a removed server.. The complaint is that "dead" is wrong, we strive for correct information, which in this case, would be "low population level" or something similar. --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 19:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

| − | | + | |
| − | :: This is not your personal wiki nor your personal soapbox, Shiny. You were being disruptive to the page. This isn't about suppressing dissenting views. This is about your refusal to enter into dialog on the matter despite being asked to, your refusal to respect or seek community consensus, and your refusal to present material in an objective fashion. If you would like to be reasonable and actually ''discuss'' this, perhaps (though not guaranteed) a compromise can be found that might express some of what you're looking to include. However, repeatedly putting questionable material back on a page and refusing to talk about it makes you look like you're just trying to instigate problems. Your response here only strengthens that appearance.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :: By the way, if we were trying to suppress dissenting views, why on earth are we inviting you to ''discuss'' this? If we were looking to suppress you, we would have blocked your account (which only affects you) rather than protecting the page (which affects everyone). The point in protecting rather than blocking was to give you an opportunity to actually participate constructively so that your opinions wouldn't be completely shut out. An opportunity you seem to be wasting, which is quite unfortunate. -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 00:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

| − | | + | |
| − | ::Your opinion being dissenting isn't what got your edits reverted. Your opinions being pejorative is. Rest assured that if someone came here posting that your server sucked, we would exercise the same editorial control. (And contrary to what you apparently believe, calling a server "dead" carries the connotation that it sucks.) What you're doing is not editing, it's demeaning other servers, and that makes it vandalism. As administrators of the wiki, it's our responsibility to ensure that it remains a useful resource for everyone and to prevent such vandalism. --[[User:TonyV|TonyV]] 02:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
