Please read the current update for instructions on downloading the latest update. Players with Mac versions of the game will not be affected, but you will have a slightly longer wait for your version of the new maps. Please make a copy of your character folder before running the new update, just to make sure you don't lose any of your custom work.

It looks like we can give everyone a list of minimum specs for running City of Titans. Please keep in mind that this is 'for now' until we are able to add more graphics and other system refinements. Currently you will need :
Windows 10 or later required; no Intel integrated graphics like UHD, must have AMD or NVIDIA card or discrete chipset with 4Gb or more of VRAM
At least 16GB of main DRAM.
These stats may change as we continue to test.

To purchase your copy of the City of Titans Launcher, visit our store at https://store.missingworldsmedia.com/ A purchase of $50 or more will give you a link to download the Launcher for Windows or Mac based machines.

Contextual Emotes

One of the things I remember most fondly from SWG (I played there for several years until the Great NGE Exodus of 2005 led me to CoH) was contextual emotes.
Things you said in chat would trigger certain emotes.
Any time you typed yes or no, anywhere in a sentence, your character would nod or shake their head. Saying "Hi" or "Hello" would trigger a wave.
Type LOL, you'd laugh, ROFL you'd actually drop and roll around.
There were many emotes triggered this way.
Also, when you had a player targeted, your toon would turn their head to look at them.
Most of the time it was very subtle and added tons of immersion as it made the characters feel more "alive".
Occasionally, if you had a whole lot to say, it would be hilarious watching your avatar emote like crazy trying to keep up.

Something else I just

Something else I just remembered regarding chat; there were slash commands to change the appearance of your speech bubbles. You could do the cloud-like "think bubble" or a "whisper bubble". I think they also had one of the heavy, irregular-lined "creepy voice bubbles".

'Course, all this may be moot if most people use voice chat.

Although not a true MMO, I

Although not a true MMO, I remember that Neverwinter Nights would have your avatar turn to "look" at whoever was "speaking" within a given range. It was a nice little touch to breath life into what was an outdated graphics at launch game.
