Find old City of Heroes friends & teammates
City of Heroes supergroups were tight crews of capes who teamed up nightly — then NCSoft shut it down in 2012 and scattered everyone (fan servers revived it years later). Post the hero name, server and supergroup to find someone from your old roster.
Often it isn't the game you lost — it's the MSN, AIM or Xfire that shut down, the old forum or IRC channel that got deleted, the Skype or ICQ that no longer exists, the TeamSpeak, Ventrilo or Mumble server whose IP stopped working. Usually a nickname is all that's left — and that's enough to start.
Post what you remember
The nickname or character name, the supergroups and servers, and roughly which years — small clues are often enough.
The community helps
Anyone can share your post or recognise the player. A Cores bounty rewards whoever makes the connection.
Reconnect privately
When the right person claims the post, you confirm it and you're connected on XCORE.GG. No personal data is exposed publicly.
Finding old City of Heroes friends — FAQ
How do I find someone I used to play City of Heroes with?
Create a wanted post with the City of Heroes nickname or character name you remember, plus the supergroups and servers and roughly which years you played. The post is public and searchable, so anyone who recognises the player — including the person themselves — can respond.
I only remember their username — is that enough?
Often, yes. A distinctive City of Heroes username plus the server and era is frequently enough for someone to recognise. Add any memory you have (a guild, a team, an inside joke) to improve the odds.
Is it free to post?
Posting is free. You attach a bounty in Cores — XCORE.GG's internal points — which is paid out to whoever helps you reconnect. Cores are not money and cannot be withdrawn.
