I played CoH/CoV for a decent period of time, its a very unique game, my favorite part was the travel powers you get at level 14. The combat system is strange and got boring(for me) pretty quickly. The charachter customization is amazing, you will find yourself spending the first hour or two just making different charachters, you can literally look HOWEVER you want. Its definately worth a try and I've been considering going back to it recently.
