It's been a little while since I deactivated my gold account, since there was nothing new to do with any new toons and I'd had my fill of same-ol'-grind.
Anything new and interesting in the game that would draw back my fifteen bucks a month?

Grind. Grind never changes.

How to build a freeform character...the Kenpo way

They took that "same-ol'-grind" and ran with it. There's fun to be had, but if you get bored doing the same thing over and over, then I don't recommend reactivating your gold account for more than a month, and even then you'll probably be wasting some money.

Just sayin.
Anything worth actually playing, though? Real content? Not instances? Thanks!

Fixed that for you.

Also the best power editor. But good luck finding anyone to show your hero swag off to.
Whenever he comes over, he'd rather play FF than another game on my old PC. He loves being able to BASH tons of bad guys with ease and bounding up onto tall buildings makes him laugh when they can't follow.
I think his favorite move by far is grabbing a streetlight and swatting dozens of thugs at once. It gives him the giggles. It's one of those rare times when watch someone else play a game is actually more enjoyable. :biggrin:
Well this was an easy response post to make.

What's wrong with instanced content? In every MMO I've ever played, most of the endgame content is instanced.
Other than instances, what could they add? More contacts telling us to beat up 17 Viper agents and steal their pants, or another open mission for people to ignore once they've got the perk, and realize that the top reward is a green secondary and two MCPD Recognition?
Instances are where all the good content is: Adventure Packs, Comic Series, Lairs, even the Alerts that so many people complain about.

He probably meant non-alert and non-temporary.

Why don't you log in and try things out yourself to come to your own judgement? It won't cost you a single cent to do just that.
If s/he is on a limited bandwidth internet plan, and has uninstalled the game (because s/he hasn't been playing it in months), it =could= conceivably cost a cent or two to download the game. Also, if you're like my internet, and get less than 200kbps, then you don't want to spend 3 nights downloading a game to see if it has much "new" content. Not everybody has 5mbps download unlimited fiberoptic internet service. Your answer doesn't take that into account, and sounds like you're trying to be a "smartass", I'm sorry to say. Sometimes it really IS worth soliciting the opinions of others.
REALLY that was uncalled for , The OP pops in now and then is a quite a well known face about game. He has it already installed.
Jenny talking to OP is like two old mates bumping into each other in the streets theres a level of familiarity involved .

mind you I have been away for nearly a year this time ( but still very glad I got a lifetime sub during open beta ).
but hey....I'm a happy camper again making heroes, and redescovering the old tried and true ones.
I really hope this game lasts for a long time.... it is a dearly beloved one in my game collection.
I can leave for a long time, and thoroughly enjoy the time when I do come back.

Alright two things:
1) I was not trying to be a smartass. I was just pointing out that first-hand gameplay was the best way to get an opinion. That's really just it.
2) I saw no indication that the OP is on a limited bandwidth connection or had the game uninstalled. That's you jumping to conclusions.
Geez.
i freaking
love
those
games

The player in question has first-hand play experience, several months ago. They are asking if there has been anything added to that play experience to see if they should bother downloading and logging in at all. The fact that they have play experience is how they know that it's a legitimate question to ask.
This is a common thing to do in MMOs with slow content updates; seen it happen many a time on other game forums.
Hopping onto the forum, asking if there's anything new, and getting a few "No" responses is thousands of times quicker than wasting all that time downloading, logging in, and looking around just to find out the same answer.
Your posts seem to be directed at someone who has never played and is asking if the game is worth playing at all. That person is not here, please wait for them to arrive.
Champions Online: Be the hero you wish you could be in a better game.
My posts are not directed at someone who has never played the game before. I have read the thread. I know the OP has played the game before. I don't need to be told to wait for someone who has never played the game before in order to recommend that they try the game either. I am not a moron. Thanks for your condescension.
When I said "first-hand experience", I meant first-hand experience playing the game in the current to see for themselves whatever new additions have been made and to possibly experience them through actual gameplay. The OP might also find renewed enjoyment in things familiar they might have found fun before. "First-hand" does not mean " for the first time".
I have also never said that it wasn't a legitimate question to ask.
And once again I'm seeing the assumption that the OP has fully uninstalled their game. That has never been stated. Please stop using that as an argument unless it's confirmed by the OP.
I can't believe I actually have to defend myself like this just because some people decided to project whatever it is they think I meant to say when it's not the case at all.
I can see how Jenny's initial post could come off as slightly condescending, depending how you make it sound in your head while reading. That is all.
ITEM: She is a he.
ITEM: I deactivated my account at 1202 days, so I've been around a little while, albeit not much in the past several months.
ITEM: Right now, I'm checking out some other F2P games. I'm checking out if one is as marvelous as claimed; and another because I felt my path in CO had exiled me.
ITEM: I didn't mean to be knocking CO at all; I LOVE this game. When I was month-to-month, I regretted not having gone lifetime - ah, well, this is how we learn. But I got to the point where there was just ONE path from hero creation to saving the world. Level limit, and it seemed that the only new activity was "stuff" to keep the masses happy - but no new zones, no new "storyline" content (so I don't think of instances as "content"; they don't supply anything new along a main line to continue holding my interest.) As noted, definitely non-alert and definitely non-temporary.
ITEM: Jennymachx, thank you for the suggestion about logging in and trying it again myself. I had no silver characters, so I'd be starting from scratch - and I'm not sure I want to dedicate the time to a silver char and leveling up. Yes, surely it can be done - but since I last played, I'd kinda hoped for more to interest me reactivating my gold account.
ITEM: Caycepollard, thanks for the good word. He (really, I just checked
Thanks all for your replies! Please keep those cards and letters coming - but for now, I think I'm still gonna pursue my other paths, and hope I'm marvelous at them. I'll keep checking in, though - someday the Silver Age Fogey will take to the skies of Millennium City again!
