City of Heroes - Free to Play
« on: June 21, 2011, 08:42:09 pm »
Looks like City of Heroes is going Free to Play

http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/713883/city-of-heroes-free-to-play-after-upcoming-rebranding-as-city-of-heroes-freedom/

Definately liked that game much more than Champions Online. If it comes out before SW:TOR, then I'll likely start playing that again. :)

This was the ONLY MMO I could get my wife into.
Might be something to look into. Thanks!

ooooh, I enjoyed that game when I did a 7 day trial. I think that will be fun to try for reals.

I am actually playing this on the Freedom server. Running around as a brute in Praetoria and will eventually go Villian. If anyone is running around my characters are Amarantus, Valkyrus, and Wonder Chef.
I used to think I was perfect. However, thinking ones self perfect is conceit and conceit is a character flaw... I have no character flaws.

They haven't released the free version yet. How did you end up on the Freedom server?

My apologies.
 I am not actually playing the Free Version. I am just playing the game currently. I am paying for it.
Should have made that more clear.

I was hoping this would go F2P before TOR releases... but at this rate "later this year" will turn out to be in line with the release... Unfortunately, all my characters are on Virtue, though. :/  

Hopefully I won't lose access to all of them...

This also happened to me. I used the support contact form to shoot a message to them and told them I was a former subscriber looking to come back and they sent me a response saying they'll try to have me in by the end of the day.

So if you're interested, go ahead and send your info in to support.

Looks like they got my account active.. and I like what I see. think I'll be playing this until TOR comes out. ;)
Unfortunately, I have to start new characters.. Freedom itself is a server and all my chars are on Virtue. But I do get to keep all my Veteran rewards and unlocks. :P
