2025: I'm going to get back into it

[Felderburg]

Hi all, a friend of mine has started playing CoH, so after 5 years of not playing, I've been roped back in (it did not take much convincing). I will also be returning to edit the wiki. It looks like the Homecoming Wiki also incorporates changes from Paragon Wiki, but it also has Homecoming server stuff.

One thing that I was concerned about before real life had me stepping away from MMOs generally was making sure that Paragon Wiki remains as it says, an archive of the game at sunset. I know that there should be a way to get a sunset-version of the game, through Project Ouroboros? But is there a more definite way to ensure items added from a current private server are actually from sunset vs. added by their devs?

I don't think there's a definitive technical way to tell what's originally from sunset except to have that version running on its own server. I'd thought about this, too, when considering going back and finishing the projects I'd been working on here. I think it'll just require a combination of memory and checking Homecoming patch notes.

Your best bet would be to use the Way Back Machine and / or the related efforts. At least a couple mentioned / attempted on HC servers to make that version searchable.
