The alt-space definitely needs to be expanded to a larger default number prior to official launch, and not just with purchasable slots. If they are going to stick with the technically 'single dynamic server' approach they're going with, then players won't even have the option of multiple servers for more character slots that CoH used to have to depend on.
The other problem I have with the 'dynamic server' is the grief it may provide for teaming. If you don't have any control over what server you may appear on when zoning, pulling a team of friends together sounds like a nightmare (Unless you can team across zones and automatically go to the same one your teammates are on. Any evidence of that feature?)
Travel powers from the word go? Paragon, pay attention, to hell with 60 month veterans power or Kheld ATs, THIS needs to be put in. The sheer amount of backstory does allow room that CoH occasionally lacks. The little decorative touches are also a little nice 'background feature'
Solo-friendly? Looks like Emmerts 'vision' has reversed from the old days [/snark]
So far, it's not enough to drag me out of CoH, especially since a lot of people I know would have to move over as well, and I'm an RPer, my characters have history dammit... but it's not looking like a trainwreck.
