I've never liked that. It gives me no sense of time at all, since if I enter a mission door at night I'll exit into daylight 15 minutes later. I also have to wonder how that will work with the new shadows in ultra-mode, which, as it stands at the moment, will move ludicrously quickly surely?
And the daylight is 15 of those 'hours', and nighttime a mere 9
Thats 18.75/30 mins daylight and 11.25 mins nightime.
I would be against extending the in-game 'day'. As if you have a task that needs one or the other at least you have at most 18.75 mins to wait.
Doubling that would make it more frustrating

Not to mention it'd make hunting those mobs that only come out at night even more tedious than it already is. (Ghosts in Croatoa, BP Masks in Talos.)

It's a fairly safe bet that the CIBs are gone for good thanks to the spammers. As for using them as a "Matchmaker" for teams, it would suffer the same problems having them on had originally. RMTSpammer just signs up, is added to your team, spams you a few times with their macroed ad quits and does it again to another team.

It should be a change in day/night cycle every 15 minutes.|

I seriously hate the day/night cycle.
Either;
-Make it longer for both. Do away with mobs that 'only' spawn at night/day, and make them spawn in locations that make sense instead.
...Yeah, actaully. I'd rather just have that. Specific 'Only when-' stuff tends to suck horribly anyway. Like getting a mission to hunt, say, Hunt Longbow in Nerva, when ACTUALLY the damn thing wants you to hunt them specifically in the Longbow base.
Leviathan SF, go to hell with those hunt mission...>_<

It's much better to have the search interface also show teams marked as LFM that players can send tells to.

Sweet! That should be fun, of course it's just a rumor. Also if champions players can through objects, why can't COH? Is it the way the game was made?

Champions Engine works like that because it's not our engine, and hasn't been our engine since about a third or so through the development of Marvel Universe Online. Implementing a throw-able objects system would require significant changes to underlying world geometry as well as significant animation work. BAB's and Nelson would have to create an entirely new animation set not only for each body type, but would need also need to work with the coders to implement a grapple system. Remember, in City of Heroes you are effectively a bubble sphere to the game world. This is why objects that players can "interact" with in Mayhem Missions and Statesman's Task Force can only be attacked, but not actually "moved" from their places.
Now, if Paragon Studios got the money together to spend the next 3 years writing a new game engine for a new game, I'd be a little torqued off if they didn't include throwable objects. In the current game, and the current game engine? I'm not sure I can think of a way throwable objects can be implemented without raising the minimum processing requirements, something the development staff is largely reluctant to do.

Vehicles in City of Heroes has also been shot down on multiple occasions. Memphis_Bill has some of the better torpedoing posts around, such as this one from 4 months ago: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...62&postcount=6
His best known one I think originated on 5/16/09: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...6&postcount=12
Suffice to say, vehicles won't be happening anytime soon, and probably not ever in this game.

Yeah, because we had the Arch-rival system months before CO came out.

See above, their engine is not our engine. Also, keep in mind that just because Champions Online does something, that does not automatically make it a good idea, or an idea that our developers should look at. If anything, the trend of Champions Online is such that our developers are probably better off using Champions Online as a template of what NOT TO DO.

(my question may have seemed like a suggestion but i was honestly wondering if it was the engine in COH)
