Quick start · closed beta

Three steps to get on.

  1. 1

    Join the Discord

    Account creation isn’t open to the public yet. Hop in our Discord and request access — we’ll set you up.

  2. 2

    Grab the modded client files

    We ship a small set of modded client files you drop into your MHO install. They’re posted in the Discord (#install channel) so we can roll out updates as they happen.

  3. 3

    Point the client at our server

    Steam › MHO › Properties › Launch Options:

    -siteconfigurl=play.omegaoverlords.com/SiteConfig.xml

Full setup, modded files, and troubleshooting in the Install section below.

Why play here

Tuned for the comeback.

Stock MHO is great. We took it further. Every value below is a config flag you’ll feel from level 1.

Level cap 80, stepped XP curve

60→70 takes 2× the XP of level 60. 70→80 takes 4×. The grind isn’t fake; the ceiling is just higher.

Every hero synergy active (63/63)

Active synergy limit raised to 63/63 — all heroes, all the time. Synergy breakpoints moved to level 40 and 80.

50% global cooldown reduction

Every ability cooldown is halved server-wide. Spec into your favorite kit and actually use it — no more standing around waiting on your hero’s payoff button.

x2 XP, x2 loot — double the booty

Server-wide XP and loot drop multipliers. Every loot category drops — XP orbs, gems, pet items, team-up agents, fortune cards, vendor XP.

Ten rarity tiers

Stock Cosmic / Ultimate / Omega / Unique / Uru — plus five custom tiers above Cosmic with their own colors, beams, and affix ladders.

  • Mythic
  • Divine
  • Astral
  • Godlike
  • Secret

5,000 G on day one

Every new account starts with 5,000 Gazillionite — roughly enough for five heroes. No paywall on the roster.

Every stash tab unlocked

General, crafting, and per-avatar gear pages all unlock automatically when you finish the tutorial. No more 350–500 G per tab.

Currency auto-collected

Eternity Splinters, Odin Marks, Arcane Fragments of Balthakk, and credits go straight to your wallet. No more orb-vacuuming through hub maps.

Custom hero balance — sane, not broken

We rebalanced underperforming heroes so the whole roster is viable. Powers feel meaningful again, and pets/summons stay strong but not OP — no “12 minions clear the screen while you AFK” nonsense.

Weekend events

Every weekend we flip a different bonus on — rotating XP boosts, bumped drop rates, currency surges, target-farming buffs. Nothing on a calendar gimmick; if it’s the weekend, something is happening.

Fine-grained loot balancing

Drop tables tuned per zone, per enemy archetype, and per rarity tier — not a single global multiplier. Bosses drop boss-tier items, packs feed crafting, elites bridge the gap. No more 200 hours of garbage commons.

Champion tweaks with new flavors

Champion enemies get reworked affix combos and on-hit effects so each pull plays differently. Same density, more variety — you’ll actually read the affix bar before you charge in.

Install · closed beta

Get on the server.

1. Get the modded client files required

Stock MHO won’t connect on its own. We distribute a small set of modded client files (the changes that make level 80, custom rarities, and the rest of our features actually render in the client) through Discord so we can push updates fast.

Join Discord › #install

You’ll need a working install of Marvel Heroes Omega 1.52.0.1700 (2.16a). If you owned it on Steam, install it again, then drop the modded files on top.

2. Point the client at our server

Steam › right-click MHO › Properties › Launch Options:

-siteconfigurl=play.omegaoverlords.com/SiteConfig.xml

Already running another community server’s launcher (Bifrost, etc.)? Edit its config to point at play.omegaoverlords.com — same idea.

System requirements

Same as the original Marvel Heroes Omega. Anything that ran MHO in 2017 will run our build — the modded files are small overlays, not a new engine.

About

The game didn’t disappear. The community kept building.

Marvel Heroes Omega was an ARPG developed by Gazillion Entertainment. It shut down on November 27, 2017. A passionate community has spent the years since reverse-engineering the protocol, rebuilding the server, and making the game playable again.

Omega Overlords runs on top of the open-source MHServerEmu project, with a layer of customizations focused on returning players: a higher ceiling, better drops, less friction, no microtransaction grind.

The full list of tunings is documented in our public runbook so nothing about this server is a black box.

Passion project, not a business.

Omega Overlords exists for one reason: keeping Marvel Heroes alive for the people who still love it. There’s no company behind this, no roadmap meeting, no monetization team.

  • No microtransactions. Ever.
  • No P2W. Every G, every stash tab, every hero is earned in-game (or just handed to you on day one).
  • No purchases of any kind. Nothing on this server will ever cost real money.
  • Donations only. If you want to chip in toward the VPS bill, that’s appreciated — but it gets you exactly zero in-game advantages. The plan is to ask only when the server is at risk of going dark.
