i agree wit u crimson m8 on both counts
Make the city more alive.
An example might be to make tower blocks more interactive. Have gangs attack them and take them over (a non instanced event like the "on fire" buildings). Have rival gangs attack their new "turf" etc. Have battles in the streets between opposing factions... not just fake scraps, but full on gang wars.
But this is just the start. If gangs get too powerful, their turf could grow further, spawning bigger baddies. They can eventually do raids on Freedom Corps/Longbow buildings. The idea is sort of to do something a bit like PvP in PvE, since PvP is impossible with the current archtypes/abilities.
Let's see things happening.
Also, why not have badges for everything... not just for 50 Skulls Bosses, but for 500, 5000, 50000, 500000, 5000000 Skulls minions, everything. Lots of badges for blowing up the mobs we all smack on our way past once they're greycon to us!

yeah i agree wit those m8 i also think that mobs should be more scared they attack u n say heres a supe n that but they could have it where they run from u if u have killed loads of them
the love of my life also thinks that being able to have ur own family would be a good idea n i must agree as this would give u a back story of ur toon and you good even have a arch story line where you have to rescue ur family from certain death
More people as the game seems to be a bit dead.
More/working minigames.
Gladiators
==========
The gladiators minigame is awesome, but it's broken. Fix it! Get the numbers book out and make it work. It doesn't matter if the gladiators game conforms to the regular game rules, you can make it work with entirely different mechanics.
Make the gladiator badges into "cards" instead. People don't even know that gladiators is a game in itself! If it was sufficiently different then they might investigate further.
To provoke interest, the gladiators could possibly provide a temp power or just a non-combat pet?
Other minigames
===============
Other minigames in CoH include the buildings on fire, the ski chalet (I've still never been subscribed over christmas, so I don't know what it's like).
They really add flavour.
Players need to be able to compare themselves to their peers. This is one reason I believe the web page info idea will be absolutely fantastic, but it shouldn't just be about PvP.
Let's compete in a variety of different ways. Already we compare with each other via our badge collections. More can only be better!

Mag, the in-game family idea is good, but that can easily be done with a back story. Unless you had more of a specific idea of a way to Link them as children to the parents. I know of an in-game couple that had 2 children and it was a lovely concept 
Problem is most people dont tend to write a story and even less take the time to read them. Im not saying 'everyone' doesnt write/read .. but for a big majority this is the case. More people nowerdays seem to be bothered at the size of their set bonus list rather than making the character they play more real with a story. 'Tis a shame!
Merge the servers.... "English speaking ones"
Think we would all agree more players would solve all the teaming and pvp and auction and Taskforce finding issues. =D
Carlsberg don't do Farming,
But if they did..........

All the Hero auctions are linked anyway as are the villains, so they don't need sorting.
I play on defiant, which I'm told is empty compared to Union, however I seldom have issues finding teams even at the times I play which if often late night early morning.
It would be quite nice to see PvP zones and the Arenas linked together but as for the rest I don't see it as a big issue.
an engine update so there is no clipping issue anymore.

They're even linked to the American ones too, so it's not even possible to merge the market anymore than it is now - every single item om sale is open to 15 servers

Same here - there are always plenty of people about, even when I'm on really late Euro time.

I personally would like to see more NPC Team-Up missions (All the heroes in Paragon and you're always partenered with Capt. Plagerism) Who wouldn't like to team up with the likes of Coyote, Blue Steel, Foreshadow, Rose Star, etc?

pvp style bank job/safe gaurds where you can sign up at a contact then a little bit of match making magic (team size/lvl matching)and boom PVP with a little more purpose.
thus heroes feel heroic and villians feel a little meaner
Lurk more, post less.

BOOBS! no?
an engine update would do then...

Could be using the arena system, or even put in the arena itself.
Adding missions and objectives to the arena maps.
xp for PvP doesn't get my vote, though

If they add XP rewards to PvP those of us who don't care about actually earning our rewards would abuse the system.
Online event management menus with a checklist of signed up people, etc. All handled in-game and not on external forums...
...like they are doing in WarhammerOnline.
If you make it easier to run events, they should happen more often.

Definatly needs a massive engine overhaul, with the release of this "Champions Online" coming soon, I can see CoH looking very outdated and showing its age, it would be like playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault NOW, When theres the likes of Call Of Duty 4 etc
The main thing for me would be trying to introduce a large update of things into CoH, rather than "New" content or whatever, More AT's (non-epic ones), Improved game engine, more cossie pieces, more customization, After 50 additional powers and slots awarded for badged collected to give people more of a reason to badge hunt, make every single recipe available to buy at reasonable influence prices like 100k rather than this 50 million [censored]...not everyone has 10 hours a day to farm.
Theres loads that need to be improved in CoH and CoV, with the release of Champions Online I have to say I am very impressed with the way it looks graphically and the way they seem to be trying to give people everything they wanted in this game that they couldnt due to its rapidly aging game engine and AI
I was thinking the other week Mag, i would really like to make a toon that is just a Cube! called Cubist! Dunno what the powers would be but yes, i agree, more freeform toon ideas would be nice!
Also, i was thinking id like a Wardrobe system where you can buy costume pieces that are always open to you, then you can go change (bought) clothes as much as you want in the designated changing room in Tailors AND SG base
