Hi Garr! Let me be the first to welcome you to City of Heroes. I hope you enjoy the game! You will find that the majority of the people that you team with are stand-up folks.
You are correct in what you have heard about a number of Australian folks playing here, since this is a west coast server. I also believe that there is an Australia-based global chat room. I'm sure it will get posted in this thread eventually.
The hero to villain ratio is something like a gajillion to 1 lol. There are some villains here, and I think villain activity has picked up since the release of I16, but as of right now, Heroes are far more plentify.
Anyways, again, welcome to Justice! We're a very friendly group....a bit crazy at times, but that's part of the experience.
If you need anything, feel free to give me a shout (@hellsminion). I'm not in Australia, but it's pretty much mid-day here when Australia comes online so it's not uncommon to find me on. I'll probably be on around 6 pm Pacific time.
Catch ya later

Second in with the Hi there.
Thee are more heroes than Villains but don't let that minor detail stop you. Feel free to give in to your dark side. Since you have so many character slots available to you, you can experiment quite a bit. You'll find heroside characters are a bit more team orieinted while villains tend to be a bit more self sufficient.
PvE is a bit stronger here than PvP. PvP is available and pretty easy to find. Here it's set aside in specific zones and there are Arenas in most every zone for a bit of Duelling.
Playstile is a bit different from what you're used to. The "Trinity" is largely a non issue here. You DO NOT need any particular team build to succeed. Content is spead out across all levels so there's no need to get to "the endgame" to find all the "good stuff." Gear is far less important here. You can play just as well without the "best stuff evah."
Welcome aboard. There's plenty of things to do in the City. I'm sure you'll find something to match your style. Have fun.

Hi and welcome to Justice. To aid you in finding folks to team with i will sugest joining the global chat channels JFA2010 and Chrome Support the two major channes on Justice. Also there is an australian chat channel but I don't know the name off hand.
Regarding Justice there is a villian population but it's smaller then the hero one. PvP is still alive here but more prosperous on Freedom. We do have a good community though, and you will find help as a newbie here if you ask.
Fell free to send me a tell in game @tritonfree for any help or PM here on the boards.

I don't have access to the game UI right now, but if you have any trouble joining global channels, let me know and I'll include some directions later.

That should give you a good starting block for asking questions, finding teams, and just general chat, though be warned we aren't known as the crazy server for no reason.

Welcome Garr.
Lots of good advice here already, and if you're looking for a VG in your timezone I would recommend you look at Sinister. Our website is here and we have some fairly active forums here. Fire a tell at any of the leaders (@Lili, @Min Min, @Redoubt) and we can hook you up with an invite. Thursday nights are usually good, as we've been running event nights for a while.
It's probably also worth checkout the Oceanic Lounge on these boards.

Thanks, Mac. I can never remember slash commands. Heck, most of the time I can't even remember there are slash commands.

Welcome to Justice!
Sup, I've just found this game, normally I play wow but looking for something different. Currently downloading a few gig worth of patches so while it downloads I thought I would post here and see whats up.
In other mmo's I've mainly pve'd whats this games pvp/pve like? is there a strength one way or the other?
I'm thinking of making a Villan, whats the ratio like Heroes : Villans does it come into play much etc?
oh and I'm from Sydney Aus, I read somewhere this is the adopted AU server? are there many guilds/clans whatever of Aussies?
oh, and hey! /wave
