: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)

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.

: 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.

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)

Neither Infinity nor Protector have entries in the "nicknames" section. Do they not have any? O.O I'm an Infinity player but I don't regular the official forums well enough to know how it's known. -- [[User:Sekoia|Sekoia]] 14:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

== 7 Day Protection ==

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 habitation levels" or something similar. --[[User:Sleepykitty|Sleepy Kitty]] 19:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
