I'm enjoying the game immensely! The zones are huge, there's a lot to do and most of it is quite fun. My dislikes are towards the controls, the lack of "travel" powers (although pumping Sprint to 4 is nice) and the fact that you can't customize your UI. Not touched the PvP aspect and haven't found or been in a team yet... but still, I think that if it were given more time, people might have flocked to it.

I enjoy it too. I'm a little annoyed with the tabula and logos you need to find to use your abilities tho.
Sniper is fun class tho, i love one shotting most stuff with my torqueshell rifle and having -75% armor bypass 
I'm on a Medic myself. And I go by Rabbits as someone had already taken my namesake. The Logos are fun to discover, think of them like Badges, but useful. 
And if you get really stuck... logosatlas.com.

Well, i would call portable waypoints (purchasable in personal, squad and 2 way squad based) handy, along with the normal waypoints in each map, AS well as the dropships/wormholes for zonal/playet hopping a form of travel power.
The customisable UI is a valid point though... although having played it for so long, it no longer bothers me.
The logos collection *can* be annoying, especially now in the stage of "hyper levelling" (20 levels in just under 45 minutes). I view them similar to BlueRabbit as "badges". And you can actually play the game pretty damn well without using the logos... althoguh they *DO* come in very handy.
The sniper logos are probably the most annoying to get though, as you (were) typically needed to dive up to a *harder* zone to get them (i normally dont move onto the next zone unless i have already completed the exisitng one) which normally puts me (for sniper) about level 34ish before i could use *any* of my sniper powers.
Logoatlas.com or tr-codex.net are my choices (prefer the latter link as it also has a nice range of selectable filters (ie waypoints/dropships/logos/bosses etc)
Playing an Engineer (turrets, turrets and moving mines! BWAHHHAHAHAH!) which is a lot of fun. the logos can be a pain as Gangrel says, especially with the fast levelling.
I just wish they'd given the game more advertising, one of the main things that put me off in beta and early gameplay was the hellish crafting - I never knew about the changes to that and everything else til the free return after cancellation 
Delraven in game, btw
Defiant 50: Blonde Justice inv/ss; Lady Aminta emp/elec; Sierra Colt merc/traps; Tess LaCoyle elec/elec (blaster); Powerstorm elec/elec (brute);
Union 50: @Steel Dancer WP/DB; Blast Pulse Fire/Rad (corr); Bitter Twilight Earth/Psi (dom); Compassionate Emp/Psi;
Freedom 50: Incandescent Blaze ElecAm/Fire;
Apparently the last PVP event will be this Wednesday, the 25th Feb in Edmund Range level 50 area - people are saying on general chat they've levelled to 50 within a few hours and such so it's perfectly possible to still have a chance to get in the big final fight
The last game event will be either this Friday (the 27th) or Saturday (the 28th) and will probably be a final battle for Earth or something. Since Earth is a level 50 zone may be advisable, but they might do something special like bring down all level reqs or something. Or just make EVERYWHERE get invaded by AFS soldiers and bane more I dunno!
Centaurus is the place to be btw
Shouldn't really matter which server you're on - afaik server merge is still meant to be coming. I've heard tonight mentioned as when the merge should go ahead.
I'd guess that lvl 50 is a good idea if you want to join in the end-of-game event (whatever form it takes) as I'd think that that's partly why the devs introduced the massive xp multiplier drops for the last month.
I'd hope the Neph make a last minute appearance and there's been talk of a 2nd Earth instance...

Do eeeeet! Nothing gives your ego a boost like killing a person with a rocket launcher by repeatedly shoving needles into their brain.
Yes... somehow, my personality and PvP go along like olive oil and water... they don't mix at all.

Just to let people know, the EU server isnt being merged in with the US ones.
The EU still gets the same End of game event though.
last chance to play tomrorow (27th) - there will be a big end of game event apparently
Looks like the world of CoX gets me back on Sunday/Monday.
Managed to see most instances before it closed, even though soloing means I've had my backside handed to me more often than I care to admit. If only NC had left it running for another couple of weeks I'd have cracked the lot. Sad to see what turned into a very enjoyable game die off so soon...

So this is how the world ends... not with a whimper but with a bang. Good times!

Agreed, managed to see most places now (serious, thats alot of running) and man those graphics dudes did awsome jobs.
Now just to stick to 1 character, rather then jumping around als, and i might have a 50 by tomorow 
50)Sinergy X/(50)Mika.
(50)MaceX/(50)Encore
Sign the petition, dont let CoH go down! SIGN!
And i jsut set a personal levelling speed record of 65 minutes for level 5-50 over on the US server.
This was so i could take part in their end of game event as well (guess who isnt sleeping much now )
I'm stuck at 44 atm, cant find any place to continue
Oh well, i try tomorow early, surely i can hit 50.
50)Sinergy X/(50)Mika.

Thunderhead would probably be the best bet... and you have all the logos that you require for your abilities. If you have an XP booster, go to the left side of the map, and start killing around there, especially the atta... good XP good spread of mobs as well.
Just done one last speed run and got it down to an hour for 5-50, FRAPS'ed it all, but i think 46GB is a bit too much to share out
IMO it's not a good MMO, at the time i played it, i could only pay 3th person which is just plain bad in a shooter.
getting ammo is bad, and the way you have to do things, not how a FPS must be.
at short, a good example how a FPS should not be.
I suppose the fact it was marketed as a third person mmo/shooter was a bit too subtle for you.
And how is getting ammo bad? All you had to do was run to a shop and buy it.
It's not running away. It's advancing in reverse!

Most likely because the price of ammo was worser than actually getting it.

Though to be fair it depends when Sorudo tried it - iirc the cost of ammo was altered (over a year ago I think) as it was pretty darn expensive. It got a lot of people moaning over the cost.

some interesting stuff from a link Mother's Love gave in another thread about the EU COH merging to US, written by a former NCsoft manager:
http://t-machine.org/index.php/2009/01/1...ut-tabula-rasa/
http://hellforge.gameriot.com/blogs/...-Crash-of-2008
it's sad, because even if like he says Tabula Rasa was worse than Hellgate London when it was first beta'd/launched (I never tried as there was no trial and I wasn't stupid enough to buy another collectors edition after hellgate!), it's a MUCH better game now (I'm playing it as of this week) than Hellgate London was in its end days (I had an account from beta but I never played after not long after release.. but I visited in the last few weeks)
