Nature was the last powerset added to the cash shop and was only available for a short time before the game shut down iirc. Dark control, staff fighting, titan weapons, and water blast were all available prior to the shutdown. Bio armor, psi melee and martial combat/assault were going to be released in issue 24, I think.

You're never going to get everyone to agree on this. I prefer to play as if time just kept chugging along. No muss, no fuss. My characters did stuff in the interim, etc.

The amount of content. CO was given up on pretty early on and that shows. When I played CO, the only things they really added were costume packs. It was rare that any kind of mission or story content got added into the game. Mind you, CoH is technically a dead game, so there's really no content being worked on for it, but it still has years worth of content updates to rest on. CO? Not so much. There's other things, but that's probably the biggest thing.
