City of Heroes

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

well its out and u can play on US servers but the euro servers wont be out here till next month, much like CoH.

with these games its always best to play on servers in your own country I find, we used to meet ppl from all over Europe when we played Ultima Online.

A friend of mine still plays on the european beta servers of WoW. He's THE dutch Blizzard liaison.

I'll be teaming up with a few local friends too, but I'm still looking forward to playing with you guys too.

Well after downloading the 1GB file to play CoH, I like it, well the character creation menu is just amazing, I currently have this huge techno guy who looks like apocalypse running about.
not much to report yet but it is rather groovy - I just saw a guy called the punisher, who has made himself look exactly like the punisher. - pretty good costume creator when u can manage that.

Character creation systems are awesome in general.

I'm going to create one for that platform game.

Soon! I promise!

supposedly CoH has 16 million possible combinations, with each combination considered different by 3 different things to count as 1 possible combination..

It is very cool, u can change almost anything, its painless to work with.

torn between this and Warcraft. Have a feeling City of Heroes will be a bit easier for me!

im loving CoH - got lots of friends now, were gonna form a super team,
My main character is called Tony Stark and is dressed like Iron-man, he is a 'blaster-technology' expert.

essentially I shoot the **** out of stuff with high tech gadgets.

the game is so diverse in the powers u see going about, and everything blends well. its easy to play, and get into. if u havent played and online rpg before this looks good.

on a down side compared to Ultima Online this is so shallow - in ultima everything I saw I could intereact with and make use of - this u can interact with anything, its all about looking cool, doing misssions and saving the ppl with your super powers - which isnt such a bad thing I guess...

its an '[arcade' mmorpg as apposed to Ultima which is your D&D style game.

still its very addictive - sign up for the beta today u might get to play for free till march! :)
