Title: City of Villains Server?
Post by: BigDun on November 01, 2005, 07:15:29 PM
I just bought and am installing the release of City of Villains. The first question they ask is what server you want to be on. What server is everyone else on?

I think it's pretty fun. You get to go around and beat people up. Plus you have super powers.

Maybe. I played the original City of Heroes for a while but it did get a little repetitive. I'm hoping they have tweaked the game play enough to keep it more interesting with this version.

BTW-My 18th level character I haven't played with for over a year in City of Heroes was still there. I re-activated him and started flying around the city. That was pretty cool.

There have been five significant upgrades to CoH.  All that was also built in to CoV.  It's cool how when you install CoV it combines with CoH.

I have a level 5 Dominator on the Virtue server.  Name of Thornwild.

I'll look at setting up a char on Guardian later.  What archetype are you so I can make something that will work well with your char?

I think it would be bitchin' if we could get a Junto SuperVillain group together.

your better off.   I'm not partial to buying games for 50 bucks, then paying 15 more a month to play it.

F' that.  if i spend 50 bucks it better play offline.  Only game i play now is Guild Wars for that reason alone.  No game is worth 175 dollars a year.

how many of us are there?  is everyone enjoying life but me?  Why can't we just continue to play the cheaper CoH?  is it really $50? 
Title: Re: City of Villains Server?
Post by: Beefy on November 03, 2005, 07:09:13 PM
It would be three that I know of: me, BD, and you.  I don't know if penguin and grrl have bought it or are going to.

But you'd meet people in the game you like teaming with anyway.

It's 50 unless you find for sale.  It's 15 a month to play one or both games (they do overlap now).

I guess it depends on if you think you'd play the game enough to warrant it.  I shudder to think of the hours I've put into CoH, so the 15 is a non-issue for me.  Besides, I was already paying it.

I don't believe so.  You could try looking here (http://www.cityofvillains.com) to be sure.

The review I read was that all five of the major upgrades that have occurred on City of Heroes have also been built into City of Villains.  In fact, the structure of the game is quite similar; I believe the code for CoV rides on the foundation of the code for CoH. 

I wouldn't want to guess what the more popular game would be that would have more people on it at any given moment.

I have a lvl 18 on Guardian already.  He's a Dominator and his name is DragonFlew.  I also have a lvl 5 stalker on Guaridan, his name is I Keel U. 

VP may not be on for a while, but she has an 18 Corrupotor, "Valeria" and a lvl 5 Corruptor "Hypocritic Oath" all on Guardian as well.

It would be superfun to play with whoever has the game....maybe we could make a Juno supergroup or somethin....

Sorry I haven't said much recently....school and work are kickin my ass.....fall break is next week though....so that should be cool....

DonnieRay McClosky is not a happy camper.

DonnieRay's parents, against abortion but unwilling to set their careers aside to be parents, put him in an orphange almost immediately after being born.  After that, DonnieRay's life became an endless line of foster homes, his rage growing with each new family he was subjected to.

One fateful day when DonnieRay was 17 years old, he chanced across a strange German Website that introduced him to necromancy.  DonnieRay had found his outlet.  With his days spent in class at the local community college, and his nights spent earning a living at Burger Max, DonnieRay had to struggle to keep up his studies of the dark arts.  But study he did, and by the time he was 24 he had become a master of necromancy, as well as having a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Studies.

With the power to make the dead walk the Earth, DonnieRay knew it was time to enact his revenge.  He would hunt down every single living biological relative he could find and kill them.  And then, because DonnieRay has such a petulant attitude, he would resurrect them and force them to carry out his evil deeds.

Which, DonnieRay has learned, comes with a price:  undead relatives tend to whine a lot.  A whole lot.  They spoke less when they were alive.  It was a cost DonnieRay was willing to put up with.

And so this is where we are in our story, as DonnieRay uses his dead relatives to hunt down his biological parents as... The Grotesque!

They'll pay... oh yes, they'll all pay.

Yeah.  I rediscovered City of Heroes and now have my main almost to 37.  I haven't been on as much the past few weeks simply due to fighting off sickness.
