I am currently messing around in the demo, but will start playing the game when it becomes F2P. All I need is a better graphics card :P But anyways...anyone else gonna try it?

I'll probably spend hours in the character creation, but never actually play the game.

I might give it a go.  I don't play any MMo's unless they are F2P, as I personally don't see anything in MMO's that truly justify a monthly subscription.  That is just me though.  The character variety in that game looks great at least and I enjoyed the quick look on it.

I played when it came out until about half a year ago. The game is alright but the end-game is fairly sparse. Out of all of the MMO's i have played it is probably tied with LOTRO in terms of grinding. I had a great time when i had my friends to play with but without others the game was painful. 
 
In CoH/V there is something to do by yourself toward the end that feels epic in terms of involving you in the world.. In this game you get to farm monsters over and over. Much like LOTRO with its trait grinding. The dungeons are fairly fun but the last one that came out kind of requires a fairly competent group with good communication or with very optimized builds.
 
Looking over the F2P restrictions its kind of a bummer. I have serious altoholic syndrome so being limited to 2 slots would be painful for me. Especially if you cant have a custom build.
 
It is a good time waster but if you are looking for something a bit more grand you might want to pass on this one. Regardless i still enjoyed the game and will probably go back to it over WoW if my friends go back to it.

" @ShiftyMagician: Same here. I love the character creator in this game. Unfortunately, the one in the demo is limited, but when its F2P it'll be an enormous amount of content to play with. Plus I'm really glad its not another fantasy MMO. "

I played demo yesterday. Character creator is great (I created mix between Deadpool and Sub-Zero). 
Will play more when it becomes free.

nah F2P is crap. They lock out enough content for me not to give a shit. I will probably check DCUO instead

I might play. Can we start up a guild or "Super Hero Team" in this like how we have our WoW guild?

I might. Depends if my computer can handle it or not. I like the character creator. 

The fact that free players don't get much of the character customization parts means that I won't be touching this game.

I love the character creator I saw in the Quick Look, but I'm just not able to get into MMOs. They just.. kinda bore me. 

I was thinking of getting into it yes, but I probably wont unless I have some people to play with. 
So if there are a few of us here we should definitively start a guild (or whatever its called in this game), let me know!

I'll be giving it a go, I haven't touched it since the Beta in 2009, a GB F2P Champions Online guild may be in order?

I'll give it a try since I remember having some fun in CoH back in the day. I doubt I'll get into it hardcore though. 

" @ShiftyMagician: A Mass Effect MMO will most likely never exist. Bioware would have to compete with themselves. "

"or if Black Prophecy actually releases when I am still alive... "

I've played some BP, it's... not good. "

Oh man that's not good to hear.  Thanks for saying that, though I would like to ask what was the key thing about it so far that ruined the experience for you?  Lack of action? Uninteresting mission variety?  Bad mechanics with the ships themselves? "

I'm gonna give CO F2P a go.  Like other(s) have said here, I have already played around with the Demo "Free Trial" mode that they currently have.  This does at least help prepare noobs (such as myself) a little on how to play before diving into the "main world".  I included CO in a list of free PC games I made here.

City of Heroes is the best MMO ever made. Just sayin'.

I might check it out over the summer. Probably not during classes though.

Reading through the FAQ, it all seemed pretty solid...  Until I saw the Archetype list.  All free users are going to be limited to 8 mediocre movesets?  That's gonna be boring.

With what they're cutting out in the free version it's not even worth playing. 
I'll maybe try out DCU Online....when it gets more content/updates. 
 
Or just wait till Guild Wars 2.

I'll play.  I'm already a member but I can do some teaming.  I
think the only limiting point to the F2P version is how much
flexibility you get in how the character looks. But you can
buy parts if they put up a store for it.  Hell, I wish I had waited
for the F2P version myself, but I'm fine with seeing a lot of
people jump into the game & get it going again.  Maybe it
generate enough revenue to add more content & features.
The game had a lot of promise back before the release.
Villains & a Sidekick.  I don't know how much of that has
been implemented so far, but I'm guessing none at this
point.  Fucking Star Trek happened & shit all over the 
ass-kickery that would have been Champions.

I'm definitely going to give it a go. After playing DC Universe I actually like Champions more.

Just created my character. But I don't like the way he walks so I decided to check the interwebz and see if it could be changed.
 
EDIT: I just realized I spent 2 hours in the character creator.

I might play it a bit now and then in the coming months, if I don't feel like playing other stuff. I should really, since I have a lifetime sub... yeah, I know. But I have calculated that I would have paid more than the lifetime sub if I where to play as much as I did. Yet, my highest level character is only level 19... too much fun to make new characters and try out different powers, plus I rarely like to play with other people. The only reason I got it was the insane customization really.

I would give it a go, but the F2P mode seems like a glorified demo, so nah.
