Heraclea Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 The only MMOs I can say I really enjoyed were CoH and Age of Conan, which was the closest thing to the sword and sandals MMO I always wanted. But like other games, it had a difficulty wall; it also had need and greed drama, and raids where you just couldn't play a melee character because you were constantly being told to break off and stand over there. This involved too much catherding. Live voice chat, immersion breaking, was absolutely necessary to do it.

fulleclipse74 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 COH 2004-2011 WOW - 2008- present Diablo 3 - 2016-present Champions for all of 10 minutes Honestly when CoX shut down I was extremely unhappy. Spent most of my time since then in WoW, tried a few games but nothing ever filled the void left by CoX and no other game to date has brought me as much fun and as many friends online and irl. Missed the entire last year of it being online due to my guild on WoW being so active and a very very active raiding schedule ( when your a main tank you dont miss raids....)

Wandering_Mania Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I played the following MMOs. Though the order may not be accurate. Everquest Ultima Online Anarchy Online NeoCron City of Heroes/City of Villains (briefly and ended with a random banning just after the release of CoV) EvE Online Guild Wars World of Warcraft (extremely briefly and ended with an unjust random banning in the vanilla) Anarchy Online Age of Conan Hellgate London Planetside The Sims Online Everquest 2 Planetside 2 Champions Online Star Trek Online Star Wars: The Old Republic Path of Exile DC Universe Online Black Desert Online NeoCron Evolution Warcraft Online (And a bunch of random others too forgettable to remember) Because I am hard you will not like me. But more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair... ~Gny. Sgt. Heartman, Full Metal Jacket I am the 'Slow Moving Madness'. I am Wandering Mania.

madpoet67 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I started following the development of CoH right after it was announced. Started playing on Day 1. 7 years ago I was a 45 year old man with a wife and 3 kids locked in bedroom crying after the shutdown announcement. (I suffer from severe depression so don't go there...) right now, I'm in heaven. Well, waiting to get into heaven, but at least I know it's there. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karagirl Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I have not played that many MMOs at all. In order played -------------------- City of heroes/villians Everquest 2 World of warcraft ( if playing for 15 minutes then deleting it because it was visually ugly counts ) Secret World Champions Online Other than the first one, I was dragged into all the others by friends. I actually played Freedom Force before City of Heroes and, at that time, it was my favorite computer game of all time. It was AMAZING. I got to play a superhero with 3 other people at the SAME TIME. How is such a thing possible? Then a year or two later I found City of Heroes in the computer game discount bin. "Nice", I says Another superhero game and it sounds a LOT like Freedom Force, from what it said on the back of the CD holder. Then I played it. @.@ It was NOT like Freedom Force at all. It was like 100 gazillion times better! There were player characters actually walking around and interacting with each other. Yes, I had never even heard of MMOs up until then. But I liked it.

Rage Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 City of Heroes was my first MMO. Played it until the day it closed shop. I played SWTOR with some friends from Pinnacle for a time but we all got bored with that one rather quickly. I think if your a Hero or Villain at heart there is only one Game that works. And together we built it into a community and I think that is why we can't let it go. I for one am glad its back Bugs and all. And thanks to the people behind the scenes for doing what they do. And I am also glad to see all of your smiling faces in Paragon Rage Omega Factor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzKilla Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I actually purchased COH “back in the day” when it first came out as an alternative for my 10 yo son who wanted GTA. He got so mad at me he refused to play it, so I did. My life changed after that!! Seriously...Anyway it’s my first and only MMO, besides a little dabble into WOW in which I was so spoiled by the COH character creator I could not deal with the characters all looking the same. And btw that soN is now excited about COH... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaliselia Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 When I stated that City of Heroes was my first MMO I mean that I first played it back in 2004. So I would also be a Former CoH player as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzano Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 My wife and I are both former COH/V players, returning to the fold. We both played COH/V first, then when they shut it down, we moved on to WoW. Got bored of WoW, then I moved onto SW:TOR and FFXIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanRoy Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 In order: Everquest (2000ish, tier something or other) World of Warcraft (Vanilla PVP to Ice King) CoH (torchbearer at sunset) EVE Online The Secret World PvP Final Fantasy 14 (console) Elder Scrolls Online (soon to maybe be ignored) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus_Star Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Former player here; played since beta (2003). No other MMORPG came CLOSE to providing me with the sense of satisfaction and fun that CoH/V did back in the day. P.S. Liberty server represent!

Ferrus_Xeno Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 COH was my first MMO, I played no other until it died. Started the game just after issue 2 and was in some of the server shut down screenshots. I tried SWTOR, Star Trek, DCUO, and others none had the same feel as CoH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMDN1121 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 City of Heroes was not the first I played. But it is my favorite. I played from beta to when they shut it down. I have played alot of others and even have lifetime memberships to Champions and LOTRO, but none of the have ever been able to replace COH.

MrAxe Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Started playing very close to the EU release and quickly became obsessed. CoH was my first MMO. When I took the box home I didn't even know what an MMO was. I've played several MMO's since and none have compared. Tera was pretty good. I just couldn't fly around in spandex.

Oubliette_Red Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I played EQ for a few months with friends before picking up CoH and spent the next 6 years playing all the way to the end. After that; Secret World Neverwinter Nights Star Wars: The Old Republic and not really classified as an 'M'MO but Minecraft. I highly recommend using the ICON tool to create your characters especially if like me, you tend to spend an excessive amount of time in the costume creator. ^.^ Dislike certain sounds? Silence/Modify specific sounds. Looking for modified whole powerset sfx? Check out Michiyo's modder or Solerverse's thread. Got a punny character? You should share it.

joyispunkrolex Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I was a CoH beta tester and played and paid until the servers shut down. It's the only MMO I played as a live product, though I also beta tested Dungeons and Dragons Online, Everquest and Champions Online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeno34 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 COX was my first and only if I'm being honest! Nothing else ever compared so I never really got into any others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR71C Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Played City of Heroes DDO Eve Online That's it...I played some Eve Online after the shutdown but I have more than enough things to keep me busy. Only game I play ATM is Overwatch. Now some CoH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
