Back in March, we learned the NCsoft was planning on merging the world of City of Heroes, to allow interaction between North American and European accounts. Rather than merging servers, the services themselves were to be merged, with players given access to both services as one grand list. In the original announcement NCsoft praised the move as allowing for more interaction, as well as equality in updates and functionality.
The good news just keeps coming, as the City of Heroes team announced today that the service is coming sooner than expected. Originally estimated “by the end of summer,” the service will be merged next week, on the 10th. Players of the European service are expected to read the Frequently Asked Questions, as their login details may change as a result of the merger.
