Based on what I think I know of your gaming preferences, I personally
never would have recommended this game to you. It requires too much of
your time and it is a slow paced game.
 
If you want to try another MMO in the future, give City of Heroes a
try on the Homecoming server. You *may* find that one more to your
liking.

Homecoming is now licensed by NCsoft, and it's FREE.  Advancement is
much quicker than the game was with NCSoft, perhaps too quick.  But it's
still good fun for a few months or longer depending how into you get.
It includes City of Villains and the neutral city, which I don't
remember the name of and couldn't find on a quick search and don't care
enough to look up.

Praetoria, from the Going Rogue expansion.

For those who haven't played since live, Homecoming has continued to
expand the game class and powersetwise anyway.

Sentinel class (think short ranged blaster (60 vs 80) with scrapper
secondaries.

Water attack set, symphonic control, marine controller
secondary/defender primary - just came out, many others.

Soloing is quite doable if you prefer not to group.

Almost a necessity depending on server, since the population is very low
compared to the old live subscription game.

Here's the link to the instructions of how to get it downloaded, create
an account etc:

So if you have fond memories of City of Heroes/Villains, it's still
here, it's got stuff you haven't played, and it's free.

Still never been matched, how sad is that, 20 years on, and still best
in class.
