Tried it on the 'beta', just couldn't get into it. Very different from City of Heroes.

OMG! OMG! OMG! It's Humongous from  Mad Max 2!
 
I wanted to love this game, but I didn't. Then again I also hated Aion and CoD: MW2 disappointed me as well. Perhaps I am simply a jerk.

This is still the most interesting MMO to me until Old Republic.

such a cookie cutter MMO. The only thing I liked about it was the character creator. It made Spore's creature creator look bad!

i bought this game on one of those grey market sites where they get cd keys from asia

the games social world and forums were ruled by furry rpers who cried to the admins/mods about people picking up chairs, the pvp was full of people using the op spec of the week, and you could fall asleep while questing because it was so easy and your powerful skills were spammaple and completely overpowered

Yes, you are, indeed, a jerk.
 
that being said... this pack looks very cheesy in terms of tone...
then again, Champions always was...
 
I thought Champions was alright until they slowed down the leveling... it was a lot more fun when you leveled up quickly, slow leveling seems like just a way to get more money out of us by having us subscribe for longer.

It needs to fade away and quit being used.

Champions is like pretty much most of the MMORPGs out there.  It kinda sucks (when you compare it to WoW).  I can't wait until The Old Republic is released.  Maybe that will actually be really good.  I have my doubts.

if they did something called....end-game..and content...this game would be great.
 
as it stands...having to do the same path with each alt you make is BS..and ruins it.
