Quote:Yes. With the caveat that the character generation system and the variety of powers available makes creating alternate characters and playing them through the first ten-fifteen levels is much more common then in most other games. Almost everyone I know who plays CoX has multiple alternate characters on multiple alternate servers.
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.
Occasionally people get buddy codes which allow people to activate free accounts for a few weeks or a month or something. You'll have to see if anybody here is generous enough to provide that for you.
Quote:From what I've seen this is entirely dependant on the archetype and powers you have in play. It is ridiculously easy for a Mastermind to just set his minions in attack mode and sit back reading a paper or something while they clear out a mob. On the other hand a Stalker is going to have to be very careful about chooisng targets and who they fight, or they will quickly find that they are dead.
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?

Any thoughts on CoH/CoV for the casual/burnt out MMORPG player?
In my opinion its just more of the same, but then I dislike MMORPGs in general.
