i like all features in the game i can't for whats next. i been a fan of city of heroes and villains for long time since 2004 i just wish i had my old toon to show for it.
Inspiration Combining - Can't picture how I got along without this for so long before...
Base Changes (!!!)
Stalker Buffs
Stalker Electric Melee
EA Buffs
Dual builds
All that is planned fails. All that is born dies.
All that is built crumbles. This will always be true.
But memories remain, And that is beautiful.
Moar Slots..
and um... I only have 9 left to purchase on virtue.. I would appreciate yall making it so we can have up to 50 characters on a single server.
You guys can take all my slots from ALL the other servers.
Powersets and the new TF's
Not fond of the merit system at all
Two words
Weapons. Customization.
Merits were by far the best change, now I can run all TF's for gain as well as for fun.
"I accidently killed Synapse, do we need to restart the mission?" - The Oldest One on Lord Recluses Strike Force
Villain Patrons Pools allowing respecs, followed closely by Price Changes and removal of Raiding Restrictions for Base Construction.
That said... that's not much. What I'm mainly pleased with, I consider long overdue fixes to old problems more than New Features. Most of the other changes of the past year have left me pretty unimpressed, and several have made me actively unhappy. I maintain hope that the Mission Architect will make up for all of that, but that's a new year. If I had to rate 2008 overall I'd give it a 4 out of 10. There were some nice things, but it definitely fell short of expectations.

Merit System (need a bit of tweaking)
Were purchaseable respecs, character slots and renames from 2008? That would be very high on my list as well.
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
I know all of my favorites have been said, but the 3 things I have been most happy about are;
1. Redo and update for the Hollows...No more running to Atlas to level up...WOOOT! 
2. VEATS...Now we need more, because this was a great addition to Red side, and if this is the 1st try I can't wait to see the follow up...
3. Costume packs...Wedding, Cyborg, and (I know it was 2009) Valkerie...these are great and I can't wait to see the next one...Magic costume parts... 
And on a side note, just knowing that there is a mission creator on the way in 2009 made me even more enthusiastic about the game...I'm sure i14 will be at the top of next years best of 2009 lists...

VEATS and Dual Builds.
