I have played a few MMOs and this has without doubt the best and most helpful players that I have found

I can't really add anything to what's been already said. Just the one main thing is have fun

You have 12 slots to make Characters on each server, make use of them, find the server that suits you best, I can't comment on the NA servers as I'm a EU player. Well until the server list merge then the sky's the limit

One other thing don't be in a hurry to get to 50, enjoy the journey read the story lines, some are good and some are awful but take time to read them.

Most of all welcome to our happy band.

Happy to be on Defiant.

As a villain, I approve of your first choice! Though as a Virtueite, I stand strong with my Virtue pride! Really though, take the advice that some have given you regarding global channels. Find them, I bet the Freedom forum probably has a few listed.

My own recommendations for a first time controller would be Mind or Plant control. Though you could always post a thread over on the controller boards about a first time controller and you'll be sure to get a lot of useful feedback.

Don't worry too much about some of the intricacies of the game. CoH is pretty forgiving. Your first build likely won't be the best, but you'll be able to contribute to teams easily.

As you gain levels, you will earn power choices and the ability to add slots to your power to make them more... powerful.

I can't stress this enough: read everything in the tutorial about powers and stuff. Then read what the trainers say to you. It's all good info. You won't get it all right away, but when it clicks you'll understand what they mean. When you do your next character (or your 300th like me) then, it'll feel perfectly natural.

Not necessarily. If you buy a basic copy of CoH without Going Rogue, Praetorian isn't even an option, and you can start in the Hero or Villain zones on the first character. But as you said, it's easy enough to get around that restriction anyways.

Alot of people have already given good tips for you to start of with..all i can say is:

Welcome to the game and fourms..this community is one of the best your'll ever find prized by soo many people.
Take your time..this game isn't about hitting 50 as soon as possible its about the journey, the experiences, and bonds you make.

Unfortunately, the planned "City Vault" feature (which would have done what you describe) was scrapped by the devs as too resource-intensive. However, the playerbase has stepped up and created its own character tracker in the form of City Info Tracker. The only catch is that in order to track your characters you need to be running Titan Sentinel while you play. Once you get it all set up though, it's a handy way to keep track of stuff on your characters, from XP levels, to influence/infamy totals, and soon even what salvage your characters have stored (I'm looking forward to this feature, personally).

"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
