In CO, they don't seem to enforce much of anything in game. People talk crazy that even in WoW they would have got banned for life. And they definitely don't police up the copycats. You would think, Cryptic, would have learned from the first lawsuit. Now they seem to be asking for it because by not enforcing it, they look like they are actually encouraging it and this time Marvel wouldn't need any tricks. They could log into any MC and within 5-10 mins see a problem that is not being addressed.
This would be an example of something about the game that is refreshing to me and is another man's poison.
At first I was shocked people were allowed to speak their minds uncensored but I'm into it now. As with other things I have adjusted to and learned to appreciate about the game.
I would not play a game with things in it that bother me a lot, btw. Gametime is funtime. This is another difference between me and some others and I'm not just pointing you out Eoraptor.
It's all about taste. What makes your fun-meter go 'yay'. I'm rooting for all of ya that are still looking for this. For serious.
Haven't got any plans to leave CO anytime soon but as soon as I get more bandwidth to play around with I'm gonna check out STO and maybe Secret World, and NWO for sure due to history purposes, and see how they do on the meter. And I'll be one of the first to log back into CoH when it's back. I'd check out GuildWars II but the company making money off of it is crap, to me, so it doesn't matter what the game is like, to me.
CoH isn't the first MMO I've lost. The first one I lost, I lived in, me and the mrs,, both. I mean we lived there. Almost all our friends were there, we sometimes spent holidays with them there, my wife wanted to have a second honeymoon in a particular place that meant something to us online.. some of our best times were there and we'd travelled from coast to coast and to Austria where we lived for awhile and back and did a lot of the fun stuff in-between that would make this post a monolithic wall of text so we had at least a clue how to have fun and we still chose to live in our mmo.
So I get what it's like to lose something like this, like what we experienced. It's just not my first time at the rodeo is all. I just mention this because I think I came off as insensitive sometimes to all The Moaning(TM) that was in LB and those 'other channels', in COH, and I didn't mean to then, or now.
J00 must find the fun in life and grab it by the waa-waa while you have the power to. If CO isn't fun, j00 must search on grasshoppah. Or something like this. Although logic often fails me I'm thinking Titan didn't give CO it's own lil corner lot just so people could express how disappointed they are with the game and if that is true - then most of us posting here regularly are probly having fun playing regularly too so there must be some redeeming value to the game, just not to all, obviously.
I'm rooting for ya guys that need your funtime back and am sorry you're not finding it in CO. Funtime is a super precious thing that I can't wish enough on anyone here.
