Oh no, we've been getting new players all the time. Everybody starts at the beginning on Homecoming (no old game character information was brought over), but practically everything that was "veteran" (ie. "paid") locked has been unlocked, so you have access to all the powers and costume options up front.

https://forums.homecomingservers.com/ are the forums and the gateway to getting CoH Homecoming up and running on your machine. You'll need to create a forum account first, and once that's done you can create a game account (they are NOT the same) that can be used to log into the game when it's installed.

https://discordapp.com/invite/cityofheroes is the invite to the discord server, which has a lot of people who are willing to help (and have heard the same questions multiple times).

I can't speak to the PC experience, but I've been using the Mac version of the client (which is basically the original windows CoH client in a wine wrapper) from my older laptop and desktop without issues. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/index.php/topic,950.0.html has the initial guide for setting up the requisite launcher.

Hope this helps! See you in the city!
