I have been playing since day one; April 28, 2004, to be exact. I never knew back then that the game would progress to what it is today, and I am very happy...and keep gettting amazed and surprized. Am I thrilled with everything that has been added? No, not everything, but 90% of the time I am. (The Greek chest details, for one. I don't PvP eiither.) My point is, there is something for everyone. I happen to like the announcements from the devs with little 'hints of things to come'. Only time tell if they do what they hint at. So far, so good AFAIAC. I am here to have fun. (I tried WoW for about a month and that was just not for me.) When the Devs present 'extra' packs for $9.99 I buy them if I like them. Everyone has different expectations/wants for this game. Some will be happy, some will be dissapoined, others even angry. I read these forums all the time and even try to help . I pay my $14.99+ per month (for more than one account) like everyone else. My point of all this is, if this game ever stops being fun, I will stop playing. I won't get angry, name-call, or flame anyone. I look forward to seeing what's around the bend in game content.When it becomes a dead end I will cease to fork over my money. We have come a long way from the 'gingerbread man' death pose, the cows that would 'moo' when shot, and Perez street-sweeping was the place to be. I might not love every aspect of this game, but the enjoyment I have had and the wonderful friends I have made can't be measured in dollars. I'd LOVE to see the level raised from 50 to 60. I'd LOVE to see new zones and mission maps. I'd LOVE to see new power sets. Perhaps those will come to pass....I, for one will stick around and see if they do. In the mean time, I intend to play and have fun with good friends.

I second, third, and fourth this. I read EVERY post in this thread. I can NOT understand what you people are griping about. I too have played other MMOs. IMO none of them have the features CoX has. For instance, we have- hands down the BEST custom character creator in the MMO world. Not a single game can even come close to what Jay and the Devs have come up with. Customizable weapons? That's cherry! How can you beat that? Would we like to have more options? Sure. Mainly because there are so many people shelling out their $15 a month.
Free new content. This is incredible. The fact that we get new issues coming out regularly as free patches is awesome. Its always something new. It doesn't please everyone everytime, but you wont find anything that will. I too am pleased with the game 90% of the time. If I don't like something, I don't participate. I am not a PvPer at all. I did not go to the "wedding" and I did not buy the wedding pack. Everything they come out with is not for everyone.
The point is if you don't like something, its not a failure. Just don't spend your money on it. Leave it up to virtual Darwinism. If the Devs stop pleasing the clients, the clients leave. They dont' get the money, the game goes away. If they even continue with what they have, I will continue to give them my money, and so will THOUSANDS of others. Good job Devs. Keep it coming. I continue to play (daily) a game that I love, my kids love, and friends love. Its a good time, with good people. I look forward to each new thing that comes out.
