The next expansion will add PvP and a bunch of new character appearance options, including anime:

lol.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Hero Creation is GREAT!  
I dont know HOW MANY diffrent concepts I went through

The First 10-20 levels are fun.... But then you realise that EVERY mission is basicly the same, and there is very lottle to collect in the way of "phat lewt"

The developers want to stay away from phat lewt and I love them for it.
There were quite a few cool things in SW Galaxies that you could only do/get if you were an uber-combat character and I didn't like that at all.
The missions are defintely the same but I find the real dynamic comes from grouping. And yes, I'm still playing!

Mustard got this for Christmas, so we started playing again a week ago. I'm a gravity/kinetics controller and he's a fire/fire tanker.

Idealy there is a game that is somewhere between

City of Heros with it's Quick-action low depth
SWG with it's Virtual second life, complete with Day-Jobs and Chores....

So Far WoW seems to strike a decent balance....

Actualy, had SWG been acceptable repaired, maintained and balanced, it WOULD have been the ideal game for me... So I Like depth and Detail...
Alles!!!

I thought about it, but I'm not play UXB so it seemed...wrong. I could do it if enough people want me to, I guess, but it would be on a much more infrequent schedule (maybe twice a week instead of every weekday).

I was half joking, but here's what I'm thinking now.

It'd be cool to have a running feature with some game. Something in addition to our regular rash of contents. It doesn't have to be CoH, it could be any game (video or otherwise), and it could even change games every once in a while. But it'd be nice to have people looking forward to that.

I could start a WoW blog. We'd have to gloss over the first ten levels, since I don't want to start over, but it could be pretty interesting, I think. And Blizzard occasionally puts community links on their front page, so if the blog got big enough we might get some recognition for it.

yeah, we could do that, I think. I don't think it has to be daily, but once every several days would be good.
