I'm not playing WoW anymore and am looking to fill the void.  I luv the superhero genre but am worried that this game is in a downward spiral.  For those who have played, or are currently playing; Is it worth my time to try this out?  I mean, will leveling a toon be fun?  will I find groups?

    I've come back to play for a while. Still seems to be plenty of folk around and a lot of them completely new players.

    The lag which I've been reading about does seem to be a little worse in some places. I've noticed it particularly at the interzone trains.

    But you'd probably enjoy this game now more as a new player than as an older player. A lot of the archetypes are so much less enjoyable than they were. There's still a few which haven't been nerfed so badly - I'm sticking with those myself.

    But yeah I think you could easily have fun and shouldn't have any trouble finding groups.

    Personaly i´d have to say that alot of people are taking a break from WoW atm or at least untill the addon comes to stores and yes this game is quit good, it seems a bit easy and simple at first especially if your an ex wow player but after a few levels you´ll see that this game has much too offer and if dont belive me try getting a character to lvl 6 and choose a new power pool, the first one i got was flight and that just made the game for me, kinda like when i first went on a FP in WoW. Also making a character is at least half the fun, when it comes to character creation WoW has nothing on this game. Hope you enjoy :)

    I envy you in a way,

    If I never experience the pre-I3 game, this game would be wonderful and even if it has some flaws, it would be FAR better.  I hope that by now they learn and will not nerfs as vigourously as they always did...but maybe they will still nerfs just as much.

    The game is by FAR the best.  Some will say it is boring, but it is because they are simply not looking for what this game offer, they want something else.  If CoH/CoV gives you what you want, then no MMOs is even close to it, it is really great.  If you want to play a dress-up game with lot of loot and slots to equip them, Sims online or any MMO will help you better.  But if you aren't playing with a doll to put clothing on, best MMO on the market.  Equipment would have been nice, but it isn't part of the game and frankly, I am happy without it (would have been happy with it, but just not there).

    As solo friendly as any MMO can be, group friendly and easy to find peoples, simple system that allow a great deal of flexibility, awesome customisation, FAST and cool way to travel around the world...really, it outmatch the competition without even sweating about it.  Best MMO on the market...or less bad at least!

    To answer your question...look at mmogchart.com. Still has as many people in it as it did after launch. Still in the top 10 in Population. This game isnt going anywhere. People make alts constantly, so the game isnt top heavy like an EQ (everybody at max lvl, no low lvl characters to group with newbies). Also, since the game seems to balanced the way the devs want ATM, I wouldnt expect the nerfs that everyone on here whines about to happen much anymore.
