I bought City of Heroes, Cty of Villains and Going Rogue all seperately. But it looks like if I chosde to return to the game and play for free I would lose a huge amount of the stuff I had paid for when I bought Going Rogue.
I, personally, don't like this road CoH has been going down for the past year. I'm glad I quit when I did.
+1 to that. They had me all the way up to the alpha slot for incarnate powers. After that, I suddenly had no incentive to work toward anything greater. The incarnate trials that they added for working on rest of the slots they opened ended up being not that fun, even with a great team, and tbh, the majority of the incarnate teams that you join randomly are just not that great. I can only assume that this new model will make it that much more difficult to find decent players to team with, and the solo game has become a huge grindy bore that leaves you feeling ripped off because you're not willing to be herded down their noob-chute Incarnate content. Sorry, Paragon Studios, but you've lost your vision, and in my opinion, F2P is the final nail in your coffin. To your credit, if you were shooting for "Superhero WoW," then I think you're doing a bang-up job!
funny to see ppl write "i knew it wouldn't be long". lol, the game has been out 8 years. had fun when i used to play and now might have a reason to reinstall.
This was inevitable. The basket case economy has them all scrambling for a buck. The MMO bubble has burst. Grandaddy WOW is next. The unlimited free trial is just the introduction to f2p.
I played COH for year when it started. It was grindy but I liked it a lot. I have a deep set aversion to monthly fees so this is good news in my book. I would rather pay for content as I go and rather like having the choice.

I've been readin a lot on this and if you do decide to pay the $15 a month for it, your technically getting more than ur money's worth. http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=264018&page=2. post 35 is proof.
Nice. Been wanting to try this one out, now I can.

Great news. I tried this out as a trial customer and was hoping it would at some point become a fremium game. o/

My sentiments exactly.
