Ugh, I knew this day would come. Yet still I'm not ready for it. But at least I get premium and can play the game whenever I want, so that's something. I'll just have to go buying character slots by the dozens, now. I suspect they'll be making most of their money off of them anyway.
But from the looks of things, super groups are going to die out almost instantly. If free users can't join them and premium users can't talk in super group chat, are they expecting there to be enough VIP members to make super groups active enough to join?
Massive understatement. And if going F2P does to City of Heroes what it did to Everquest 2, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it quickly becomes one of the most popular F2P MMOs out there.

they should fix that.. its kinda odd if it will go live like that.

It's also odd that they'd take out base raiding and never put it back in, but I guess the developers aren't that big a fan of super groups in general.

Base raiding was one of the things that made the game cool imo. There are other things but that was fun to

haha "Thousands+" for VIP wtf...
so many greedy mofo's out there...just let the good games die...
isn't CoV better than CoH? or did were they always the same? i only played the character creation at a friends house back in the day...

CoV = Villains CoH = Heroes
but with the expansion you can be both whenever you want if i'm correct
Reputation: 271
They're more or less the same game with different classes and locations. Although I would argue that the classes in CoV are far superior to CoH due to having actual mechanics.

I like how specific they are.
Premium = 8+ Archetypes
VIP = 14 Archetypes
So how hard it is to be specific?
Costume Pieces = Thousands+ <--------- lol wtf?

Best part: free players can't whisper. Not like you'd need to communicate with others in a mmorpg anyway.

2 Char slots total? Not even per server? They're either business geniuses or stupid beyond measure.
I'm not too pleased about all of this but oh well.

Sarcasm isn't always obvious in text form, I have seen people make stupider remarks while being completely serious.

no your right the game only made it 7 years as p2p and still has a decent population.aka not good enough for p2p <3
anyways i dont know how i feel about this.. it is one of my favorite mmo's but with it going free i dont see my self playing it, maybe if being prem means you can get anything the cash shop can offer in reasonable time.

That has always been the point of freemium services.
