Is it still live though? Just with no updates from now on?

This thread is certainly still alive. Let it go, let it go...

Here's the deal: Icarus has decided to keep HCO functional as is-- no future support/updates or new figures-- for an indeterminable amount of time.

HCO is a Black Lantern Reanimate.

Facebook says they're done releasing new content and actively looking for a new home. I feel sorry for the people who spent a lot of real money on this. Full price for virtual content was the number 1 reason I stayed away.

Yeah, I pretty much stopped playing after the beta testing phase and even then it was buggy as hell now add on the price for digi-boosters, FF packs, and individual characters. It was a real turn off real fast for a lot of people.

Why couldn't they put codes in boosters for those characters so folks can have best of both worlds?

As well as codes/packs purely for the virtual?

Once redeemed, the token is defunct, so if folks wanted to sell the voucher or code as unused, the secondary market could obtain pieces like they would with real versions.

The cost impact as well as my real set is why I didn't get involved. Sadly, now I want to try it but only with whatever's on offer, purely for rules and a past time it is going cold.

If folks still play there, I'm keen to investigate and start playing casually.

It now has a warning on theyre website that there will be no new content and that they are trying to find a new server host. All of 12 people played hco at any one time. They were all awesome people, and were a great help.

However, the game was slowed down tremendously by clunky mechanics and shoddy interfaces(and dice rolls, that dice computer is broken.) They also had pretty bad prices on digital clix.

HCO received a catastrophic brain injury at birth, but was wheeled in to the corner of the day room every morning to sit in the sunshine.

It was alive for a couple of years, but it never really lived.
