The Secret World. Eluminaughty on Grim.
Posi got a job there? Good to see that he landed on his feet
I'm playing Star Trek Online with some other CoX refugees and experimenting with Champions.
Champions does have is strong points, mainly freeform power selection, but it lacks the spirit CoX had.
I'm....(gonna get flames for this...)...Play Guild Wars 2.

| Any NCSoft game |
FB is saying don't run the launcher - delete it and keep the rest. I can't confirm it but reports that the launcher self uninstalls removing all your screenies.I ran the launcher just a few minutes ago. It did nothing but open to the launcher page as normal. It didn't break anything. And City of Heroes is the only NCSoft game on my machine.
I was already playing Champions and Star Trek Online off and on in addition to City of Heroes. So I will continue there as well. I have added a few new characters to my CO roster though in the form of my main and most beloved characters from City of Heroes. Currently that's Cyberman 8, Kara Skye, Lily the Diamond and Sassinak, but there may be others added as well.

Also I occasionally dabble in DCUO for fun. I don't try and convert characters to that system, but I have some good ones.
Lastly, because of friends who pre-ordered Guild Wars 2 and who aren't going to be in any other game for the foreseeable future, I'll be joining them there as well. (Though I have made a solemn vow that I will NEVER pay real world money for gems, since that money also goes to NCSoft.)
So...
In the words of Buckaroo Banzai -
"No matter where you go, there you are."
Or perhaps a little less 'zen' and a little more jauntily heroic -
"There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, and the sea's asleep, and the rivers dream; people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice, and somewhere else the tea's getting cold. Come on, Ace. We've got work to do!"
My Friends want to go to Star Trek online but I dont like that much.
DCU seems ok and the Super speed power is MUCH Better than anything we had in Paragon City! You can run on walls and stuff and that is what makes it so good!
There is also Ragnarok online but I played that to death on the rebirth server.
Diablo 3 blows.
Borderlands 2 can only keep me so busy....maybe Planetside 2?
Same here. I've had an account with CO since December 09, but hardly played it (which is why my main just dinged 30 earlier today). Eventually, I'll get my villains transferred over, as well.

Normaly I wanted to do a break, but now I'm testing Champions anyway. Some things are a little bit complicated, but then I see some other things and I'm thinking "Damn, why we never had this..."
I have to play a little bit, to say more. I rebuild Roxy Foxy, something easy for the start and feel free in searching for me over there, maybe I'm not the only noob there then ^^

They also had a wolf tail I used in City of Heroes, but this one looks in Champions just ugly, same with the boots. They also had this boots I used in City of Heroes, but they are not looking so nice...
...but then there are nice other things, it's ok I think. But to made a nice character you just need this gold membership - to much is locked without it like the tails...
Atlantea cleared up a bit in another thread:And leveling seems insanely easy. I just looked into my second slot and had the other pieces unlocked after only playing the tutorial and starting the first mission. Kinda dumb, but now I can make some COH analogues, which makes me more happy.
There are a LOT of costume pieces that are locked at first. You have to level up a character to level 10 to unlock these pieces. Once unlocked, they become available account wide. You can either create a new character with all these unlocked, modify the character you already have, or even delete your character and remake it with all already unlocked.
Why they do this? No clue. Its a silly reward for getting your first lvl 10 character, and it seems may only disapoint players with a bad first impression. Get to 10 and then visit the tailor again, you will get a BUNCH new set of options that don't require IAP.
BTW, the options I'm talking about are entirely hidden until you are 10, you cant buy them nor even look at them until you get a character to 10.
Hmm. My first experience with Champions was UGLY, but that screenshot doesn't look too bad, so I might reinstall it on my computer.
I tried WOW last night, free, pretty. But EVERYONE looked like me. And I don't even recall how I got slotted into a priest. Got up to 3 and STILL everyone looked like me, same peace staff, same wine-stained cloak, same candle-dripped robe. That we had to LOOT for. Not so heroic.
The Perfect World drove me insane. I couldn't move right with the wasd keys, I hated seeing my character toward me, and I got completely stuck in what I think was a room, but couldn't see enough to get out. I asked for help and was ignored. And there is something extremely disturbing about the splash screen with the face of a six year old and breasts of a full grown woman.
I am now trying AION FREE so I will soak up ncsoft equipment/time and buy NOTHING. I think my character's name will be Freeloader.
As I've said elsewhere - don't judge Champions by the tutorial. Slog through it to get past it and then go play the REAL Champions. Which is a much better game. (Though still far from the standard of COH. But then - what is?)
I admit that I can't make it past the tutorial section, but what is it that gets better? The things that bug me about it are so fundamental that I can't see it improving. I've tried every visual setting they offer, and I still have a horrible nightmare of massive boxes all over my screen (I loved that I could make everything teensy in COH and arrange it as I wanted on the screen); my toon (and I'd never run anything that ugly and horrible in COH but the costume design thingy is icky in CO) makes me crazy with her stance (yes, I can change it, but they are all awful); and I just can't get over how BIG and cartoonish everything looks. It's like the knock-off, bargain-basement version of COH. All that said, I really want a new game to love, so what is it that gets better after the tutorial?
@Atlantea, I love your Champions version of 8-Man... I mean... Cyberman 8 ;)
I do miss my superheroing action though and hope that https://marvelheroes.com/ delivers some (its a diablo style game, but currently in closed beta)
Glad you like it. Doesn't really do it for me.
yeah it isnt for everyone. Then again what game is?
Some games come a heck of a lot closer than others.
CO, I bought a month but will drop it. Not only does it remain ugly, but I have to hold down my mouse to turn in place,
