I'm willing to give it a go, think I've looked at it a couple times during sales and stuff but didn't want to get drawn into a pay MMO (got out of one a few months ago, and the money can buy a lot of ramen/noodles/pasta xD)

Indeed it can, hence why I'm not paying for one right now (also because I'm still looking for a job,

).

Anyways, I might look into it, but since I have been playing LoTRO in my free time with a number of TPGers already, I'm not sure I'd want to try another MMO right now. If there is more interest in it though, I'd be more than happy to at least try it out.

I will probably try it out, but it depends on how 'F2P' it really is if I stick around or not. EQ2 was supposedly 'F2P' but it really limits you and might as well be a trial.

Nice ,I love to check out F2P games and just recently added this one.Anyone play ?

My pal and I are DLing this tonight. Going to crack out for a few hours in the character customization tool.

I've been playing Champions for over a year.

The costume customizer is AWESOME. You can spend hours on that alone. I did.

However, if you're F2P you can only take their "archetypes" (classes, basically) and that steals the most fun part of the game for me: mix-matching powers until I have a cyborg with metal claws that can shoot electric charges at people.

The worst part, though, is that I play MMOs on my laptop rather than my desktop rig, and since F2P my laptop isn't powerful enough to support it, even on the lowest settings.

FYI: My handle is @redaqua

I also get to make a thousand different characters, which suits my ADDness:

Mammoth, Fusion, Freak, Nick Phoenix, Augment, Six

I have more. I just created Red Lightning, Clockwork Orange (and orange steampunk bot), and my seasonal character, Santa Claws.
