PC Gamer Review of CoH Freedom: "How free-to-play gaming should be done"
Nice.
They actually have many of their facts straight. Wonders never cease.
So, this means we win?

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

CoH remains the superheroic MMORPG.
In my opinion it also remains the best MMO i've ever tried.
Dr. Todt's theme.
i make stuff...
Best part of the review was the caption on the Giant Shivan fight in the tutorial. >.>
it has gone from unconscionable to downright appalling that we have no way of measuring our characters' wetness.

Yes this is how MMO's should be done
I was a little surprised by them mentioning the character creator from another game (which is indeed more robust, though you have to unlock a heck of a lot of stuff for that to be apparent) but it was a good article over all. Here's hoping more people give CoH a try and stick around for the fun.
They're right about it being nice for F2P people.
It's a complete pain in the *** for VIPs.

I don't remember nominating you to represent all VIPs, but since you seem to have appointed yourself--see if you can get Customer Service to straighten out billing dates, renewal dates, point dates, transfer dates, and token dates. That would be awesome, thanks!

I think my transfers show up at the start of the month, my tokens somewhere in the middle, and my points at the end.

I'm not like other moms.
If we complain, I mean, give feedback, it's only because we want CoH to be better still. The devs' receptiveness to our input separates this game from so many other MMORPGs.

There is a significant difference. And having been here for nearly eight years...I think I have a good handle on the level of quality I should expect from this game.

Thought for the day:
"Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."

I'm not raging, "I HATE THIS GAAAAMEEE!" I'm raging, "This doesn't work!" or "This could be improved!"

PC Gamer has a short but highly enthusiastic review of City of Heroes Freedom in their latest reviews:
Paying or not, this is all very impressive, making CoH well worth trying, or better yet, firing up an old account for a return visit. {...} City of Heroes remains by far the best superhero MMO in terms of content, systems and community and going free-to-play gives Paragon Studios a damn good reason to keep the new stuff coming. Even if what you got from a free account was all youd ever get, and there were no more updates, thered be more than enough BIFF! and POW! for one hell of a heroic or villainous career.{...}
Verdict How free-to-play gaming should be done, in a superhero MMO thats yet to be beaten for fun. More like this please!
Score 86/100
