    I'd never heard of this channel before but was randomly recommended this video by "the algorithm" and found it surprisingly enjoyable. IMO it's a neat glimpse into the various communities that played, and in a few cases still play, these abandoned games. I'd never heard of 8bitmmo before, but I did play a fair amount of Chivalry/Chiv2 when they first came out, although I was unaware of the recent cheating issues and content creator suicide drama surrounding it. And I also played the shit out of City of Heroes way back in the day too, but I had no idea that fans had managed to keep CoH alive, nor that they were even granted an official license by NCSoft so they could continue to develop the game for use on their private servers.

    Speaking of which, for anyone tempted to give CoH:Homecoming a try (like I now am!):

      The most memorable part of playing City of Heroes, for me, was having bumped into Morgan Webb (of TechTV fame). /cool story bro
