Anyone play City of Heroes or City of Villains MMO? I have multiple level 50s (level max) on the Justice Server. Its a good game... teaming with other players is great in this game because it makes the game more social and it actually helps you level quicker if you work together. When I played World of Warcraft I always had terrible experiences with teaming with other players. It wasn't true teaming, it was like solo play with others around.

CoH & CoV offers good opportunities for diversity of play with many different zones and mission opportunities. I like it, and was wondering if anyone else who uses these forums plays.

I bought both games second hand off of Amazon.com. I am still on a dial-up Internet connection, though, and never got to play either game a single second, due to the update (needed before the game would connect) being so huge in file size.

I've read many good things about the games, and I always enjoyed comic books as a kid.

Dial-up can be difficult for any on-line game. The one nice thing about CoH/CoV is that they update the game frequently and these updates are free. WoW has had one major update and it was $50.00! City of Heroes has had several major updates and 11 updates total. The newest one (Issue 11) is coming out in two days and will include some new powersets and the ability to revisit old missions/story arcs. If you ever get high speed Internet I would recommend giving it another try.
