sailorzeoOkay, so....back when I worked at OMax, the CompUSA in the same plaza closed, and I picked up City of Heroes for about $5. Almost a year ago, I think. I've yet to install it.
Today, Matt picked up City of Villans at Big Lots for $10 (deluxe version with cards and figures and other miscellaneous stuff).
We'd been looking for another MMO we could play together, but...we're down to one computer. We'd been playing Voyage Century Online, since it's free, but the lag's been painful, and well, it was a lot a lot a lot of grinding. I mean, I would set my character to mining, come back in ten minutes, move her to another ore stack, and start over. And hope there were no "locusts," ie, swarms of guild alts all doing the same thing, exhausing the resources in no time flat. Kind of took all the fun out of the game.
But, he wants another RPG. He even reinstalled Once Upon a Knight, because he's always enjoyed it, and has yet to reach the level where you can catapult cows.
So, some questions, directed primarily at <lj user="alessar">. Are they completely separate games, or do they intermingle (ie, can a Villans chara meet up with a Heroes chara)? Actually, that's the only question he had. :-P
I'm going to go watch a movie now.

Date: May. 4th, 2008 03:17 am (UTC)Are you guys looking to have separate accounts you play on at different times or to take turns? If you want to take turns, then create a PlayNC master account and add one of the games and then *upgrade* that account by attaching the serial # from the other to it as well. Then you'll have one account that can play heroes or villains.
As far as installing the game, just install city of villains. You'll have to patch less and it's all 1 client, the access to content is all account-based.
