apologies for temporary derail, but that has to be the BEST back handed insult to WoW EVER 
Flavour of the month powersets are like Earrings,
one or 2 is ok, but 5 or more in a row is just annoying.

Your anecdote is so true. Plus, the Crystal Maze involved a bald crazy Super-Villain who had a Crystal based Puzzle fetish. It fits so well!
It takes Chaos to move the world to Action.
CoX is like Neighbours - its generally a friendly place, but don't look too closely for plot holes.
On the 'What do you do when bored of CoX?' thread, I posted this little gem;

Having now played some WoW for the past few days, as I got it ridiculously cheap from work, I can scientifically say the following is true;
City of Heroes/Villains and World of Warcraft are both fundamentally the same thing: TV gameshows. There is an objective, and people must work as a team to get to it, thereby winning the prize, such as a level up, or Recipes/Loot.
The difference comes in the type of gameshow. City of Heroes features a variety of themed zones, in which short, intensive tasks must be completed to gain enhancements. The more and better enhancements you have, the more time you'll survive in the end instance of Hamidon.
CoH/V is The Crystal Maze.
World of Warcraft features a much more free-roaming world, with less of a secular feel to the areas. Yes, the areas are different to one another, and have their own themes and challenges, but it all flows in one continuous whole, like traversing a country. Traversing the country performing various simple and sometimes inane tasks to track down some treasure.
WoW is Challenge Anneka.

As I'm in the christmas spirit, I want you, yes you to come up with an analogy for City of Heroes/Villains, which of course, can invlove other MMO's as I've done.
They can be compared to anything at all, though the official board guidelines still apply. You can be serious if you like, but the ones that make me laugh are more likely to get the prizes, because I'm fickle that way.
I will be offering three Influence/Infamy prizes on Union for the best entries, which are as follows:
The Prizes
First Place - 1,000,000 influence
Second Place - 500,000 influence
Third Place - 250,000 influence
The Rules
1.) All participants may submit no more than two analogies, in post form to this thread. If you submit two, and then come up with a third one, you may choose one prior submission to be discounted.
2.) The above replacement can only be done once per participant.
3.) If you're the artistic type, pictures and diagrams are allowed, but will not 'boost' my rating. Content is what counts.
4.) The closing date for entries is the 22nd December, so that I can try and get the prizes out before christmas.
5.) All influence prizes are on Union only, as I have around about 1,000 influence in total on Defiant, unless a generous sponsor wants to help out.
6.) There is no word-limit to your analogies. But be reasonable.
Happy analogisinamising!
