Hey folks. You probably remember me as Kelp Plankton, the OG Groot Force leader. I wanted to let anyone who potentially still cared know that Marvel Heroes has functional private servers now. They're still WIP, not everything works perfectly, but a lot of the important stuff is back up and running.

If you're interested in playing, installation info and more is here:
Setup is simple, especially for folks who played the game on Steam originally.

People are also posting about progress in the Marvel Heroes thread on SA, which, yes, still exists. It is unlikely any further announcements will be made in this group, so don't worry. I won't be spamming yall, this was just a one-time thing to let people know that they can play the game again. And to thank everyone for all the fun we had back on the live game together.

Hope you're all doing well, and have a great New Year!

its out, game is good again, download and play
