City of Heroes

Anyone play this game?

For those who dont its a fairly new MMORPG (another one yes) where you play the role of a superhero/superheroine out saving the world, or at least saving people from being mugged. The list of powers to choose from is huge and with several different hero classes any playstyle is supported. The game doesnt have nearly as much depth as say, World of Warcraft but if you have ever wanted to be a superhero and fight powerful arch enemies this is the game for you.

not yet.. although I would say it sounds like it might be fun... do they let you have the option of being a not so good superhero? or do you have to play on the up and up?

As of this curent time there is no option to allow you to be a villan but that will change. Sometime this november or December they will release an expansion to the game titled City of Villans. This expansion will allow you to go on jewel heists, base raids, and it will have brand new power types (reffered to as archtypes). The expansion will also have separate zones from the current City of Heroes but a few neutral zones to allow for PVP and raids against Hero Supergroups. City of Villans is currently in closed beta testing.

My husband plays this game constantly. He has lots of fun, but all I can say about it for sure is that it has really sub-par sound design...
