Here, Here. There is and will never be another game such as City Of Heroes/City Of Villians and the GR coming up.

Just a quick note. It was the first game (MMO) to win best Multiplayer at the E3 awards where most awards for that are usually online first person shooters. (Since then the upcoming "Kinghts Of The Old Republic" Star Wars game has followed up. Ironically another game I understand that includes no inventory as far as RPGs go).

It was a fluke and a darn good one as far as the gaming industry goes.

My personal feeling is that the game went "alittle off" when they included the Mission Architect and created Paragon. But after a while I had to agree with the others that it did not ruin the game but left another outlet for things you can do.

I do not know yet but for some reason I get the feeling that Cryptics 3rd large game, STO will still not be as good as COH.

Personal note: I see no reason why this game could not include PVP or missions in space.

Nice post!

Great post and great responses!

I joined a month or two before I7 and I've played (apart from one very short break) ever since.

This game rocks!

Been actively waiting since September 2001. In some ways I miss the pre-game community. There's only a handful of us left.
