I have never played or seen anyone play City of Heroes. All I know is it looks okay, and it is ranked NUMBER 1 on MMORPG.com game list! Can someone tell me a little about this game and why it is ranked number 1?!

If the game play is terrible then it shouldn't be ranked number 1 at all!
It's a conspiracy!

CoH has the best character customization ever, good graphics, and probably the best PvE out there. Good graphics will make just about anyone like a game it seems, majority of MMORPG players seem to like PvE, and character customization is nice.
But to elaborate further... for those people who love to bash monsters for hours on end, this game takes away everything that could possibly get in your way of that. Transportation is simple, you can go around flying and teleporting and running at super speed, so you hardly spend any time getting around. You don't need to camp spawns to get loot so your char can be up to par, there is virtually no loot in that sense. You don't need to wait around to find groups because finding a group is usually quick and easy, unless you're playing early in the morning when not many people are on. Also there is virtually no downtime in CoH. You will NEVER sit on a ramp in a dungeon pulling mobs from a room, bashing it when it comes to your camp, sitting to regenerate health/mana, and repeating. If you ever do sit down to regenerate it will be for about five seconds.
I think I can safely assume that the average MMORPG player enjoys bashing mobs. This game offers relentless mob bashing that can be quite fun at times. In my opinion, that is why City of Heroes is #1 on the list. Nonetheless, this game is still a level grind that is very boring in my opinion.

You see, every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You spread to an area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.-Mr.Smith
there is virtually no loot in that sense
Don't forget that the system splits loot (enhancements and inspirations) and influence (money in CoH) for you. No arguing over loot.
Also, there are tons of instanced missions...You'll never have to worry about kill stealers or a crowded dungeon, because you're the only group there! (Just like LDoNs in EQ)
And it's a helluva lot easier to play for a few minutes here and there. I don't have to dedicate 3 hours a day to game play like most MMORPGs
I like the backstories. so far almost every mob (one exception, but it may be explained later or I might have missed it) has had a backstory, a reason to be where it is doing what it is doing. Finding those backstories can be a huge diversion. add in easy grouping (3 damage dealers do just as well as the traditional Damage Dealer/healer/tank combo or 3 Crowd Controlers do well too, a group is an effective group regardless of compisition), fast paced combat, low down time, fun skills, and almost limitless character customization and you have a game that is absolutely kickass fun to play.
not to even mention that I can log in for an hour and start, finish, and get a reward for a mission feeling that I have made significant progress instead of spending 45 minutes finding a group then have to leave during the 15 minutes of buffing.
When all else fails, Poke 'em in the eye with a good sharp stick.

LMFAO this comment had me rolling on the floor....

Kill stealing is a much bigger problem in this game because if you're out in an open area fighting mobs, you will often fight 5 or 6 mobs at one time. Some of them will be standing quite far from you shooting while you have like 3 right up next to you punching you, and then you might have 2 more running at you. Since it's debatable whether or not the ones running at you and shooting at you were actually "yours", people might pull them away from you and kill them. Then people send you flames because you stole a potential tiny sliver of their XP bar from them. Big deal.
This game would be an awesome game if there was more to it than just bashing mobs. CoH and L2 are the most blunt level grinds I have ever seen so far. Sure every other MMORPG is just bashing mobs, but at least in DAoC and SB you have endgame PvP to look forward to. There is no motivation behind the level grind here. After a week of playing I lost most of my desire to log onto the game at all, the second week my subscription was going I was jost logging in to see if my friend was on or had replied to my in-game mail, which he didn't. So after two weeks I was done.

Alient was correct, I was talking about instanced missions. They are highly available which is very nice. Kill stealing is in every MMO to some degree. It's more prevalent in this game, most likely due to the way that the mobs act and how crowded the urban environment is. I'm not 'plaing' mean or an MMO noob, either--I started with virgin EQ many many moons ago...
