Anyone here play City of Heroes/Villains back before it shut down? Well some fans raised almost $700 and are in the process of developing City of Titans right now in its ashes!

I am so fucking stoked about this! Beta will be sometime next year. Anyone else ever play? If so what server were you on? I was on Champion server before everyone across servers consolidated to Freedom or whatever it was.

Me too, played that game for about 2 years. It was my favorite MMO ever...
That god damn character creator was so epic. I wish I still had pictures of some of my heroes.

Always wanted to get it while it was in development, then i got caught up in wow for about 4 years and decided to stay away from mmo's. its a bummer they came out around the exact same time otherwise i probably would have gotten city of heroes first.

I tried it early on, maybe 6 months after it came out, and while it had an awesome character creator, the game itself was stupid boring I thought. The world was so generic feeling and the fact that every single mission was instanced felt so....odd.
I dunno, I hated it. I paid for the game and then never played it again after my initial trial run. Wish I had gotten some sort of free trial first.
And raising 700 bucks doesnt seem like a lot? Especially to develope a game on? lolwut?

I remember the first Taskforce (aka Raid) took so inhumanely long that I would have pick-up-groups of strangers taking breaks for dinner in the middle of it.
"Ok, everyone take 2 hours and meet back here"
I'm talking like 6-8 hours all told to finish the damn thing.

Oops, yeah $700k is what I meant to say.
That game was so dope though. The initial 20 levels were kind of dry but once you started getting travel powers and your alpha powers the game became a blast. The best part about that game is how your power scaled with your level. By the time you hit the later levels you actually feel like a super being. At level 1 you might be able to take on two or three guys at once, at level 50 you might take on 30 or 40 bad guys at a time. It was great! It was almost too great. they eventually had to limit the number of bad guys you could at do because some tankers just became almost infinitely invulnerable and would here whole instances maps up for the blaster to destroy with a few AOEs. (Obviously there were giant monsters that couldn't be killed so easily though).
And yeah that first task force was brutal. They eventually rewrote the whole thing to make it more manageable. The difficulty of those task forces made them so fun though when you beat them!
