Now that Roper is "out" and Poz is "in" manning the helm I may give this game a try when they have their next free trial.

I only played CO in beta (and a little bit at launch) and I didn't care for it at all, it seemed like a shallower, prettier, CoH to me (keeping in mind that CoH has been out longer and has a better drawn out storyline and more content, so my opinion is skewed).

Anyway, perhaps I'll like it better when it's under Poz since he was around during CoH/CoV days and I still love that MMO.

As far as I know, you can try it any time you want:

Can i get an all red form fitting armor with a red cape? My powers would be a red head rage that would make wolverine run for the hills

Yes many of the costume pieces are entirely form fitting and lets not forget the mini-mini-skirts, hehe. Maybe I'll see about posting some of my char designs here.

Yes. That is easy to do.

Gah I am such a Dork....I got the lifetime for it too Cryptic why do you take all my money?

{shame...shame...shame...)

*dances* ok i may try it....try no promises.

Anyways, I downloaded the client to try it out some. I've always been a big super hero fan.

Just bumping this to remind folks about this, in case they need a break from all the the awesome content thats been released from STO.
