City of Heroes -who plays?

[Tana Nile]

I've seen a couple of references to the game City of Heroes on the boards and I am curious as to how many of us are players. I've been playing since about a month after the launch, and the addiction has waned at times, but never gone away. While there are a lot of things I could complain about in the game, the good outweighs the bad, and character creation and costume design are just outstanding.

So who's living in Paragon City?

Me me me! I play on the Triumph server and use Freedom as a test server. Been playing one year as of .... today I think. Still don't have a level 50, keep starting over.

Wow, only one person? I thought there'd be more. They must be lurking...If you haven't tried it, and you enjoy gaming, you should check it out. It's a great game, and you can really feel like a super-hero. I still remember the first time I took to the skies!

I have most of my characters on Protector, with others scattered around. I played City of Villains for awhile, even got my fire/dark corruptor to 40, but just never cared for the villain side that much. I have much more fun being a hero!

Sorry. As I said, the level grind was too much for me. Also that and the hours I felt obligated to play because of the money. I really liked my characters, too. One was Blaster Ape, finding out that his body type and accessories, when colored in a certain way, made him look like a gorilla! Ah, well.

I have thought about picking this up, as I see they have a combo Heroes/Villains pack now, and a single subscription will let you play both.

I have always shyed away from paying $15/month to play a game, I even opted to not pay for Star Wars: Galaxies after being a beta tester for it and loving every minute of it. But there is something about this genre which makes it incredibly tempting! Not sure if I should wait for Marvel's MMORPG, made by makers of CoH/V... if its still in the works.
