City of Heroes

I used to have a policy... and that policy was to never pay a monthly fee for any game. That all changed when I picked up City of Heroes. For those of you who don't know, City of Heroes is a MMORPG. It's fantastic!!! The most fun I've had plaiyng a MMORPG ever!

I got it the day it came out, and I've been playing it as much as I can. Work, school, and female take up a lot of time also...

I currently have a level 14 Science Blaster mastered in ice.

Does anyone have it?

Yep, I got it. Great game, worth the money. Playin it for 2 weeks now. Have a lvl 21 Blaster. If you see a "Pyrot" running around, its me. It`s my first MMORPG because I`m not really in Fantasy and nearly all other MMORPG`s are about Fantasy. There should be more MMORPG`s in a Sci Fi world!

it look sweete but "pay as you play" is pretty gay
you pay $49 for the game then pay a per moth fee to play it ?
most comanies that do that sell the game free or ubber cheap that charge for the online play but not both

Well, and how long do you usually play a game 1 week or 2 ? Sure this is an MMORPG so you can play it for more months but I think, if you have a lot of time to play then one or two months are enough. The first month is free and then 15 bucks montly. So it`s 65 bucks (50+15) for me and that`s really worth it.

There is a monthly fee because they are constantly updating and evolving the game. I think this one is worth it.

65 too much for a game that you can play constantly without a break for 2 months (or more) ? I don`t think so, especially when I think about tons of crappy games for 50 bucks, which you can delete right after you installed them and played for an hour. And as I said, even a good game (without good multiplayer mode) you wouldn`t play longer than a week or two. Only people who would never pay a cent for a game (only a few cent for the cd-r) can`t accept to pay a monthly fee even if it is a GREAT game!

Trust me, I used to be the same way about MMORPG's. This one is different though. I have a totally new light about MMORPG's now.

MMORPGs rock....im totally addicted to Lineage 2 at the moment.
i used to think paying a monthly fee for a game was crap also but after trying a MMORPG i dont really think there is any going back

I was just talking to a friend of mine about this yesterday. He basically said he would never pay a monthly fee for a game until he got City of Heroes. He was saying it is worth it just for the comedic value of some of the Hero's that people make. I know I was laughing when he told me about a guy who was just a giant cheese puff with a machine gun.

The game gets really fun when you start to team up with all different types of heroes. I team of 8 ladies/guys just blasting the hell out of everything.
