This makes me happy every time I hear it. Even more so now that the game is revived and thriving.

[@EmperorSteele]

A turning point has been reached. We are returning to Paragon!

[@audreywinter4553]

2020. The world needs heroes more than ever.

[@Lithobraker]

This has new meaning, now that the fans have brought it back!

[@Toasty667]

I can't believe you've done one of City of Heroes! One of the best most underrated games ever.

[@Special1Mourinho]

OminousVoice you simply created one of the masterpieces for COH

[@williamburr1984]

Miss the hell out if this game. only one I played non stop

[@Cadiangrunt99]

Happy Birthday COX, I left a part of me in AP 33 and I'ms till holding that torch.

[@McDonaldWilliamT]

Right there with ya brother

[@cameronogburn66]

Dont have to hold it any longer its back

[@endykun]

@@cameronogburn66 fun fact: before you log in after Character Creation in Issue 25: Unbroken Spirit your zone is listed as "Atlas Park 33"

[@RManifesto]

This song made me cry.

[@mc-dice-dad]

Every time I watch this, I remember what it was like being a hero. Thank you for this. It is truly inspiring!

[@donaldwatson7698]

And as of 2024, the game is legitimately back. NCSoft officially recognized City of Heroes: Homecoming and authorized its volunteer team to continue the game.

[@Primantiss]

Gave me chills man, reminded me of making my very first toon way back near launch..

[@thecplman1]

It's funny. While CoX was still around I considered this video epic. After the shutdown, I was too depressed to even watch it. Now, after the successful Kickstarter for City of Titans, this video fills me with HOPE.

[@Clonest]

And now....it is back!

[@julaibeeb]

The RHYTHM of the music is HYPNOTIC!!!!! I almost can't STOP listening to this vid!!!! THANK YOU 4 the POST!!!!!!!!!

[@LunarOverdrive]

Didn't play City of Heroes back in the day but I did end up playing Homecoming. Still, this absurdly low video quality makes it feel weirdly nostalgic.

[@Protocurity]

Very Nice. I will truly miss this game. It was my favorite game. Hell, I'd even call it MY game, period. I've played on different MMOs and different web games and different console games, and I didn't really have a favorite. Until this one. And with that, I silently hope for the day that it returns, if it ever does.

[@donaldwatson7698]

Fans brought it back in 2019, there's multiple fan developer teams running their versions, and at least one group is in ongoing negotiations with NCSoft hoping to make it an official return. What NCSoft ultimately does with it is anyone's guess at this point, but for the last 9 months or so, people have been rediscovering what it means to be a hero.

[@hmrdulcimer]

Your music is so much better than the in-game version. I love it!

[@stormdrain23]

Oh my God... oh my God this game... I miss it so much it hurts.

[@Heriarka]

April 2019 - I was here

[@supajasiu]

I cried, I woun't lie.

[@IdleMegaPixel253]

We are Heroes.. this is what we do.

[@Langsuyarman]

Happy Birthday, City of Heroes.

[@Havic1137]

Simply Epic. Theres not much else word-wise that can explain this amazing work.

[@mariawinzler]

Tears.

[@TheNobodyspecific]

Good to see a fellow Onion. I played City of for five years on both sides of the line. Enough about me. Good job on the arrangement mate. Two thumbs up.

[@jergsden]

That's what the music should be like in the game. You made it epic.

[@DaveDynamo]

I followed your link and downloaded the archive. Listening now. I love this stuff! Great work!

[@cameronogburn66]

COH IS BACK BOYS!!!

[@Katzenkinders]

This is just beautiful. I love ANYTHING orchestrated. It just gives me that feeling that I'm really a hero in my own way.

[@pounderforgot372]

The game is back folks

[@dantex17]

Tho this city of heroes is gone,the heroes we created will live on in our minds,and carry forth til the end of our lives.

[@OminousVoice]

@MW2DUDE98 There's music at the login screen and carries over to character selection/creation. Its rather unremarkable, I'm not surprised you didn't notice it. What I did is took that rather bland music an rearranged it into something grander. The video is simply the E3 CoH/V trailers.

[@super1water]

Couldn't have said it better myself, this paragraph sounded like poetry to me....

[@LT_Couper]

Still makes me cry

[@stormdrain23]

I came back here today once I heard the Phoenix Project reached not only its goal but its first stretch goal. So happy that I'm listening on loop :). Love that moment when Statesman clobbers Scirocco

[@RazorShultzor]

@OminousVoice Thanks, I look forward to it, always preferred viillains to hero side, hope to see it soon!

[@Sideshowspike]

I really like this... It's a great rendition!

[@hmrdulcimer]

Outstanding job on the music. Well done!!!!

[@pounderforgot372]

It’s back

[@Thjorsson]

This is fantastic!

[@NeonElwynnIIX]

Truly it is Wonderful!!

[@MisterDax]

Awesome, I'm actually playing CoH while listening to this :)

[@gorn9146]

Adding this to my playlist of your music.

[@LT_Couper]

Right now, im listening to this over and over and attempting to teach myself how to play this. XD #SaveCoH

[@Revkor]

COH is comign back via fans

[@volkerball85]

I'm gonna miss this game. :(

[@AuntieDiluvian]

The word 'Epic' is not an overstatement in this case :)

[@krakken242]

This song ensures the survival of the memory of a very beloved and missed City.

[@pacifistattack]

So bummed this game is no longer running.

[@cameronogburn66]

Its back

[@Ahrpigi]

Came back here for the Phoenix Project's kickstarter launch. Somehow fitting. :)

[@spaceman300]

I wish I had a little of you musical talent, Great Arrangment ;)

[@discojoe3]

This is really good.

[@mdlittle5466]

Epic work...outstanding effort - excellent production!

[@GhastlyWarcon]

I just... miss it :C

[@batfan1939]

Awesome! Love your music vids!

[@drithius]

If the devs put half as much effort into the ingame music and sound effects as you've put into this theme, my number one complaint for the game would become a thing of the past.

[@kelliko70]

Excellent!!!

[@Agerasia]

I love city of heroes :)

[@victoriavictrix]

Dammital. I want my game back.

[@ViciousMink]

Excellent work! #SaveCOH!

[@samuraiko]

Terrific job - I may have to nab this for a trailer of my own! :) And do let me know when you complete the CoV version, I can't wait to hear it!

[@DarkGob]

Lord Recluse, Tyrant and the Battalion disliked this video. This should have been the login theme they used for CoH: Freedom. What we have now pales in comparison.

[@Eopyk]

Awsome in every singel way :)

[@NexcelNetwork]

I miss this game :(

[@davidhennebach9114]

It's back! :D

[@supajasiu]

Good night, sweet prince.

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

i wish i had this game

[@gregoryvn3]

Well done!

[@MrsRoguedemonhunter]

Bravo! /emote standnclap ;) Excellent.

[@OminousVoice]

@MilitantPeaceist I play villains too, my first 50 was a DM/DA brute. I'm afraid I won't be able to join you though as I'm on Union, EU side.

[@pikabko10000]

I know the pain I was hear since 2005 and no MMO did notowrk for me. This was the only one. I jsut a as much frstrated as you are.

[@samuraiko]

@DancingBeaver I already have music arranged for the GR trailer. :)

[@Fabulist]

City of Heroes is dead. Long live City of Heroes.

[@OminousVoice]

@RazorShultzor I'm working on it.

[@silvermoonwolf19]

Goodbye Paragon City. I know I'll see you again someday.

[@McDonaldWilliamT]

My friend. That day can now be *today*. We can go home.

[@Kovoti]

Awesome video, can you try to upload it in a higher quality? Beautiful... I miss it so much

[@DancingBeaver]

@samuraiko would make a great tune for the Going Rogue Trailer ps. i like this

[@DancingBeaver]

@samuraiko would make a great tune for the Going Rogue Trailer =)

[@Primantiss]

NCSoft disliked this video..

[@Almafeta]

The problem with the in-game theme is that it spends too long being haunting and generic in the opening, and you have to wait too long to get to the truly inspiring percussion/brass march. Of course, I have a highly developed case of altitis, so I often get to the horns when trying to decide who to play...

[@LT_Couper]

Really cool piece! Synapse gets thrown around alot doesnt he?

[@pikabko10000]

Yes me to since I had been on sice 2005. I gotafiend thats been on since 2004 I forgot how many times I clicked on the COH starter icon! wathing the server connection crash on me YELLING "PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS TO ME!!!!!" COH was a home away from home

[@MilitantPeaceist]

or is it for Rogue? Cya in PocD - go an arena with ya if ya keen (my enh's are so old, they have 1st generation 1st level recipie set's - almost on perma time reduction but still have my extra holds ;) Got pwnd in RV the last time I went to farm, lol.

[@pikabko10000]

Even Lord Recluse cannot save the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Illusionistory]

2.20 so there really WERE kids in Paragon! They all migrate after the war? ^^

[@MilitantPeaceist]

[@ElijahTurnerEzzoe]

Niceeee

[@pikabko10000]

Oh man I know how you feel COH/COV/etc had been the pride. I also suffer tthe crave. how many times I clicked on that COH/COV starter icone by mistatke and yelling about PLEEEEEESE DO NOT DO THISSSSS TO MEE! I tryed many MMORPGs after this and nothing worked,. I know how you feel I feel the same. Good luck

[@FenrirEX]

Itsuka Hoshi no Umi de...some day...

[@apex2000]

I miss this game. It weird i yet to speak to someone who didnt rate it higher than the DC universe & only a few that would say that other super hero mmo (i forget the name) was better. many would say they both had benifits.

[@pacifistattack]

Champions online? Only other SH mmo i know of.

[@thewebbness]

How can I download this song? Its amazing!

[@Acanous]

Neeeesaaaaaaa

[@Lithobraker]

Save this game! The devs MAY(only may) be discussing with investors to separate Paragon Studios from NCSoft and become and indie stuido! A sliver of hope endures!

[@dmcarden]

sadly it looks like ncsoft really blocked anyone from purchasing the game (heard there were 3 investors and all were turned down)

[@apex2000]

oh this that loop song that plays during teh character making screen... in its original form ya get sick of it after like 2 minutes

[@MSOgre07]

Could You PLEEEEEASE make one for City of Villains????! (:( >#

[@LT_Couper]

Not if we have anything to say about it.

[@MW2DUDE98]

is there even a login theme at all? when i log in it just goes straight to 'type username here' and 'type password here'. it never plays a video like this at all

[@supreme84x]

Anyone have the high def of this?

[@RazorShultzor]

Have you done the CoV login music?

[@pikabko10000]

I understand your pain. I do feel the same way to. yes this is not right. yes this was the worlds best MMORPG ever made How darre they fuck the best MMORPG in the world? and fuck the American dream to leave COH running as it should?

[@pikabko10000]

can I download the MP3 music file?

[@pikabko10000]

Yes I agree. me too. ME TOO! right now its up to some one to make a civil case with the imgration department to force NC SOFT to be deported back to South Korea. and give the servers to th e customers who paid for it. and have the fans run the servers. NC soft did not want to sell. its so easy to sell the rights to run it to some one else. why did they not do it? why dose NC soft haveto be so fucking greedy? WHY? Till now I cannot help butt ask why and how.
