I usually narrow it down a little (inconsistently), by level or stars or various things, and then pick something that the description looks interesting for.

Heh, just general smart-assery, nothing more.

MUTANT!

Mine usually tastes a lot like salt and butter.

Nite Wrath will be here all week and don't forget to tip your waitresses and bartenders everybody!

That's all well and good, but what are you going to do with all those eels in your hovercraft?

Do you want to come back to my place bouncy bouncy?

Thanks! Yes, Virtual Lad is merely a Paragon City child playing AE, in his special gloves, boots and helmet. His mother insists that he be accompanied by an old rickety clockwork babysitter called H.A.R.O.L.D. (Human Adolescent Restriction Of Liberties Device). He's not allowed to set foot in any of the old hazard zones and if some enemy shoots at him as he rushes by from AE to WW, he has to flee. It's a lot of fun!

WoW is mostly outside. CoH is mostly inside. You don't see the people playing here because they're mostly in instances. Infinity's one of those that rotate in and out of the third spot on the list and it's hardly dead. But if you WANT the big crowds under Atlas, your best bet is Virtue or Freedom.

I don't think the goal is to bring back old players, but rather to give current (and future) ones something to do with their 50s.

Eh. This game is so not at all like other MMOs that what others have done doesn't really apply.

Well, they're not doing that, either.

CoH has NEVER been about leveling to the top. That, in fact, is what draws a lot of people in...that it's not a race to the "top level" so you can get to the "good stuff" like the WoW model. People here play for a lot of different reasons, and those who play or don't because of where the level cap is are likely a minority.

Your speculation is both wrong and right. There will be no more levels. But there will be virtual/practical levels to make your character more powerful/efficient. The details are not available yet, but it's not just more "leveling up" in the standard fashion. These are things we know already as the devs told us.

Well, that's a factor in any MMO, really. They have promised tougher content in the Incarnate system to go along with the improvements, so it's not like you just get better and keep doing the same old missions faster.

You're actually wrong there, as the player-base is vastly diversified and you can't say any particular thing is "what people pay for".

Um...I like it? I dunno, I haven't had much time for it since coming back in Jan (had a broken computer for six months and am doing a lot of catch-up), but I've been through a few. I like the stories, don't give a crap about xp or tickets except for Virtual Lad, who is leveling from 1-50 there the normal way (his mom won't let him fight real criminals...he's only 12! ).

I'm also fully in favor of them doing whatever they need to do to drive away the exploiters, so if things get "nerfed", I'm fine with it.

With improper punctuation and non-standard spelling and capitalization, yes, it can be very hard.

Technically, no, the level cap is not being raised. You will still be able to go no higher than 50. The details of how exactly the Incarnate system will work are still forthcoming but they've very adamantly denied a raise in the actual level cap. Virtual/practical extra levels, but not an actual raise in the level cap.
