Ah, City of Heroes and City of Villains. What can I say about them? Just one word:

....................................Wow!...................................

I once read on CNet about how "insanely addictive" these MMORPGs are. And, you know what? Absolutely correct! Started out with City of Heroes in December '04. Then, when City of Villians came out in November '05, started playing it almost exclusively. Ultimately, I spent equal time on both games. But, all good times must come to an end and that's what happened with these games. Eventually I lost interest and stopped playing altogether. But, I remember the time fondly. Made lots of good friends there. Most were in the The Impossibles supergroup on the Pinnacle server.
