Pardini explained that the team already saw NCsoft take down a similar project in 2011: "Infinite Rasa," which attempted to create a new server for the MMO Tabula Rasa, which shut down in 2009. In a lengthy statement to Massivelyop, Leandro Pardini of the SCORE emulator team explained that while many people in the community knew about the server and that a simple Google search would turn up forum posts about its development, the team tried to keep it a secret because it was worried about getting a cease and desist notice from City of Heroes publisher NCsoft. For every passing day and every withdrawal symptom, a person is playing on this secret server, and they are gaining xp, leveling up, performing task forces and forming supergroups." For all of these years, City of Heroes has lived on. "I have been told City of Heroes has been shutdown. "I like the rest of you have been lied to," Reddit user avoca wrote in a thread titled " BE ANGRY" on the City of Heroes subreddit.
