My description is that City of Heroes is one of the most addictive MMO’s I’ve ever played, with a fantastic, responsive developer team that releases extra content every few months at no extra charge and works constantly to keep the game fresh and evolving. In the last year and a half, they’ve added five new city zones, complete with story arcs (you might call those ‘quests’) completely new villain groups, and goals. They’ve created two new player archetypes for people who had finished the original content, complete with a full set of new storylines. They’ve released the expansialone (a stand-alone game which, if you buy it, also interfaces with the existing game to create even MORE content) City of Villains - and countless more things! If you’re interested in trying this game I highly recommend you give it a whirl!
