now is COV/COH leaning more towards pvp, or pve? i like the RP bit that i was reading,  it seems the server "virtue" has more of the community for that. Im downloading the free trial now to see how i like thegame. im just trying toget away from WoW and i have a child on the way. and advice, input would be great.

It's more about PvE, and probably always will be. They're trying to fill in the PvP game a bit now. An issue was just released which rebalanced PvP considerably, and SuperGroup bases are in the middle of a big redesign as well to encourage group vs group Base Raids.

However, PvP is completely separate and avoidable.

RP has pockets here and there, but Virtue has been adopted as the unofficial RP server. If that's your thing I would start out there.

If you are coming from WoW this game will be distinctly different gameplay for you.

One reason pvp isn't as prevalent here is that the community doesn't ask for it as much.  Not saying there isn't any pvp mind you.  Players do have pvp events every now and then, just check the boards.  When asked what they like better, more players are saying co-op zones than pvp.  That is why we got the Rikti War Zone, for example.

One thing I have noticed is that the CoX community is much more helpful that other MMO's.  As long as you're not begging for money, you'll find people will be helpful when you ask questions.
