Sals badgehunters if you're on the EU servers, it's the place to go and there's a constant stream of TFs being kickstarted.
That said I'm getting there with CoH, I16 sparked my interested again and I'm quite happy to wait and play it, but if there had been no I16 in sight I would've probably gone to CO. Or back to WoW, time has glossed over the worst and I just remember the fun bits.

Indeed. I'd like to see WoW as it is, before Cataclysm, but I find it very hard to keep an interest in that game for more than 2 to 3 weeks at a time, whereas City usually lasts about 3 months before ennui sets in and I wander back to Azeroth or to other games.|

If development on City stopped today I'd still play, in the same way I replay console games - because they're fun. It wouldn't be the same, but it'd be something. Besides, I still have a ton of powerset combinations and character concepts to try out before I could consider I'd 'finished' the game.
Not that this will happen any time soon, and as a relative newcomer to MMOs I've got to say it is nice to have new issues to look forward to. Long may it continue.
Not sure what I would do. I've been here almost since the game went live. I think I missed it by maybe 2 weeks or so but in the more than 5 years I've been playing it this game has never been any good.
In over 5 years I've logged in the game almost daily and I always hate it. Every month I pay my subscription fee and I rage at having to pay for this horrible game when the development team never listens to me. They never give me what I want. I don't really know what that is but they never do it. They never make the game the way I tell them to. Well sometimes they do what I tell them to but then I end up not liking it because it's dumb and they should have known that. What am I paying them for?
So if they stopped giving me more stuff I would definitely be outta here because the stuff that I have been playing since May of 2004 up until now has never been any good and it sickens me that I am forced to spend so much time playing this game, a game that I pay for and it's always been terrible.
Multiple free updates over 5 years, not to mention one paid expansion we were forced to buy....nice way to squeeze extra money out of people by the way...did you really think we wouldn't figure that out? and they have never once gotten it right.
I try to be patient because I'm a mature adult but I can only take being ripped off and defrauded for so long.
If there were no more free updates I would quit this stupid game that I play daily just like I have been telling the developers that I would with every update they have ever had.
I would go play some other game out there that is actually good where the developers actually listen to their playerbase and design their MMOs around each individual player to give them what they want. Every other MMO out there does this. There is no excuse that this one doesn't do that too.
Then I would be gone and this company wouldn't have my subscription fee anymore. Hopefully maybe then they would learn because it seems it is the only thing that will teach them and maybe finally get them to fix this game and make it good.
I would also probably file a Class Action lawsuit because not putting out anymore content updates in an online game is clearly "bait and switch" and fraud. I looked it up on the internet somewhere and read it and plus my dad is a lawyer so I know what I am talking about.

I would still stay subscribed. When I need a break I just play more LOTRO. Then when I get burnt out on that switch back to CoX. With AE I don't need updates, I can make all the content that I want. However more options to the arachitect system are always welcome.
Could you guys write once the game name? im not an mmorpg player, besides CoX, and trying CO, but all those initials make me ... feel like i dont belong...

I'd keep playing til I got everybody I have to 50, though I probably wouldn't make new characters without any new sets coming out. <_<;;
Still, I might just keep the subscription, even after that, as I love the game so much. 
I pop out from time to time, playing other stuff, but I always return here. >_>

I16 is fantastic to me because it adds just that much more customization and creativity to our characters. And the AE provides a limitless source of actual content (we never farm/PL). Even my daughter (age nine) has written her own arc.
Of course, my daughter spends almost as much time in the SG base or her Hobbit house (depending on which game she is playing) as she does questing. She puts a lot of RPers I've known to shame with her imagination. Whereas many RPers I've seen seem to think spouting off lore tidbits constantly constitutes roleplaying, she spends time in her house or in the other areas of the game world playing the same way she plays with her dollhouse. She has her own little stories going on all the time -- and even manages to connect them to CoH/LOTRO as she goes. That is, she's aware of the game world and just weaves it into her own stories. It's fun to listen to her play.
She doesn't require other players to interact with to have fun with her own stories, any more than when she's playing with her toys by herself. The other day in CoH, she had one of her characters being a super Longbow agent. For a while, she ran all over Atlas Park looking for Longbow patrols. She would check in with the leaders, give instructions, and move on to the next one. If they were in combat, she would join, and act concerned if any were knocked out or nearly defeated.
In LOTRO, one day I noticed she had her little Hobbit girl (a Guardian) in, dressed in a dress instead of armour, and walking around all the bushes in her yard, pausing every now and then. I asked her what she was doing; she replied that she needed to trim the bushes. She said that there wasn't an emote for that, so she just pretended that's what she was doing.
A few days later, her Hobbit invited a couple of our characters (both Hobbits, of course) over for a party. While we were logging in, she ran her character over to the neighborhood shop and pretended to buy food and such for the party. The she ran back to her house and pretended to cook. When we arrived (having doffed our armour and donned more party-appropriate clothing), she served several courses (from appetizers to desserts), then we went outside and played party games (e.g., tag, hide-and-seek).
We didn't gain a single point of XP, we didn't "progress" our characters one iota -- but we had a blast using our imaginations and playing together as a family.
The next day we geared up and stomped some Orcs together. That was fun too.
I'd play on. One of these days I WILL go back to my first alt (Fire Bringer, level 19 Fire/Cold Blaster) and get him to 50, probably needs a respec though

Personally, what I have been doing, waiting on I16 and GR, is taking some time with my PS3 when I'm not working or in school. Lamentably, the game has grown a little stagnant to me already, but I'm hoping that an infusion of I16 and, more important to me, GR, will stop that stagnation. But in the meantime, Fallout 3, Ghostbusters, and Force Unleashed (replaying for Trophies) have been good pastimes.
But without some new content coming down the pipes, I might have wandered onto something else by now, frankly. The MA was being too exploited to hold my interest for legitimate gameplay, and I've done almost everything else in the game, besides the odd story arc (although I still need to do the Khan/ Barracuda TFs). I just need something new to hold my interest, and the next two updates (especially GR IMO) will be the lynch pins.
