I just got done reading the excellent series "Interviewing Leather" LINK!, and I was thinking about City of Heroes/City of Villians.
A little background - I got in damn near on the ground floor of Everquest, back when the Kunark expansion (the first one!) was just out, fresh and new. I spent five years bringing a guild from odds 'n' sods to a Tier 2 guild, and.. I'm burnt. I made six months in WoW before I realized that it was just the same old same old, in a different pretty hat.
So is City of Heroes any different? Is it the same grind/group/raid/level stuff I've played in EQ/WoW?
Also, is there any sort of free trial, I'd like to test the waters before I decide whether or not to jump in.
What sort of play schedule is required to be an active member/contribute to a group such as the Legendary? How long would a play session normally last?
How involved is combat? Is it 'turn on auto and pray the numbers work', or am I going to be stringing combos, or am I going to be actually doing attacks and targetting?
Hardware isn't a concern - I have a core 2 and a GeForce 8800, I fear no evil.
Any thoughts on CoH/CoV for the casual/burnt out MMORPG player?Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979
