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.

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

Ahh, nuts.. just lost beta access.. tried to log into the forums to get a free level bump to 50 and apparently since I'm not an active subscriber, I'm not supposed to be in the beta. :/ NCSoft let me in... CoH cut me off. I'm crying now.

Issue 21 is live now, in a "Head Start Mode" for subscribing customers; but they still haven't put a date on when it will go Free to Play. For a lack of anything else to do before TOR, I decided to jump in for another month as VIP; so I'm in playing it again. If anyone else is playing, let me know - we can try to consolidate servers. All of my mains are on Virtue (unofficial RP server).
If I understand correctly, all the servers will be available for Free to Play with the exception of a VIP only server. Also, if you pay $15 for the upgrade to Premium from Free, you get access to more stuff.. and they give you back $5 to spend on the in-game MT market.
