For a long long while I have had a on again and off again relationship with City of Heroes , decided to give it a try. Some pluses that I have found are that there is a more non-violent lean to it. No expansion packs to throw your money at. An awesome character creator, the best IMHO. Plus it gives me a chance to relive some of my Superhero geekiness from the past.
It is fun, but not as addictive as WoW. I can shut it off whenever I need to. I like the Co-op, teaming mode better than WoW, 7 is better than 5 and more fun. I like the creativity of the powers much better. And the cap stone, flying! at level 14. Awesome.
So while everyone else is out throwing money at blizzard to explore Northend, I will be protecting Paragon City.
