It is a fun game, with an intriguing power selection/development process and a flavor of superheroes (one great NPC even calls you such at one point). But, while the setting has potential the story felt a little too one dimensional and stilted to keep my intererst beyond the trial, though.|

Off the cuff, probably 7 stars. Definitely worth a fair shot and a spin around the block.
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.
R.I.P.
Chyll - Bydand - Violynce - Enyrgos - Rylle - Nephryte - Solyd - Fettyr - Hyposhock - Styrling - Beryllos - Rosyc
Horryd - Myriam - Dysquiet - Ghyr
Vanysh - Eldrytch
Inflyct - Mysron - Orphyn - Dysmay - Reapyr - - Wyldeman - Hydeous
I know both quests and they are both hard ones that people usually got stuck because it requires either out of normal thinking (that golden girl one was out of boundaries for example) or a good amount of investigation (manticore one is a good example of what kind of investigation you need to do to solve a quest in this game). Game is filled with quests that are both fun and hard if you want to solve them yourselves. However you can find almost all quests walkthroughs in many sources including youtube.
My wife and I have moved to The Secret World as well. I know of at least 10-12 others who have made the same move. If you want to play a mix of X-Files, CoH, and an extra dose of zombies then come on down. Honestly the game is fun, original, and kind of buggy at the moment but its well worth playing.
Too bad my PC can't handle The Secret World* other wise i would try it out at least.
*I blue screen EVERY time i try to log in.
Go's something like, Log In Screen, Enters log in info, clicks log in, says something about getting character list, Screen enters power save mode for what ever reason, Clt-Alt-Del take about 5 minutes to even work, trys to start task manger then blue screen.
Going to miss the fun and nice people here at CoH. Feel free to add me on PS3/XBox360
PS3X360: OmniNogard
Currently playing: Mass Effect 3(PS3) Minecraft(X360) Skyrim(X360).
Does anyone know if Funcom has any relationship what-so-ever with NCSoft? I'm pretty certain EA doesn't.
A friend wanted me to try out Dungeon Fighter which looked like an interesting game, but it's Nexon. Nexon has large investments in NCSoft, and I won't touch anything related to NCSoft. I'll also make certain anyone else mentioning NCSoft/Nexon games understand how the situation with CoH went down.
TSW looks interesting. The "no levels, no classes" comments on the site bring back fond memories of one of my favorite games: Ultima Online. Any game that can balance character abilities and progression without classes or levels certainly has my eye.
CoH has been unique in the sea of cloned MMOs.There are years of possibilities still
in such a well designed, well supported and well loved game.Shutting it down now doesn't
make sense on any level except, perhaps, on some spreadsheet�s bottom line. I do not
consider this an act of a company that has the interests of its customers at heart.This
calls into question why I would want to be part of any further ventures involving NCSoft.

I'm having a blast with TSW myself, but the "no levels" thing is a bit misleading. There aren't character levels, but there are skill levels which determine the quality level of gear you can equip.

That's fine. Skill levels are rather needed. CoH will still be my main game until NCSoft pulls the trigger of the pistol pointing at thier foot. Then I think I'll hop over to TSW.

Alpha and I are going there if/when NCSoft pulls the trigger. We have our serial numbers ready to go.
