It's not the worst game I've played, but gets very "samey" after a few levels.  Mind you, what game doesn't these days!  It's certainly better than one of its rivals, City of Heroes, which I tried the other day and almost injured myself when my head collided with my keyboard as my brain just couldn't take the boredom any more.  What a tedious game THAT is.

I don't sub to CO any more, but I still drop in to while away an odd 20 minutes or so.

Yeah I played it for a while back when it was P2P and it was great for about the first 15 or so levels. After that it became mind numbingly repetitious. Also when it went F2P I figured I'd give it another go so I logged in just to find out every one of my characters had been flagged as 'Gold' status even though not one of them strayed from their original archetypes in powers. I uninstalled after that and never looked back.

I had enough fun in beta to buy it but it gets repetitive fast, I think I made it to about level 18 before I just gave up. Had the same problem with COH, just can't stand the grind in these games especially considering there is very little else to do.

Welcome,  Champions Online is one of the games I keep in my stable, pretty good IMO and the amount of updates (200-300MB each) should make some big name studios cry.

I really enjoyed my stay in CO. What really helped me get into the game was get into a pretty health supergroup/guild and just befriend the in game community. It was small enough before the F2P move where I could recognize the majority of the players online.

I'm glad you're enjoying it, I may have to resub one day and run around my 50 again!
