What's an MMO out there with a strong RP scene? I did this in Star Wars Galaxies back in the day but everyone just wants to do pointless PvP shit and see who's the stronkest.

>CoH died

The wrong child died that day.

>>378360285
>>378360965

I think CoH had such great rp because everyone at one point truly wished they could be a super hero

pretending to be an elf or wizard is good fun and all, but being a super hero is a fulfillment of your childhood dream, and you pour your very being into it.

This games shutdown never made since to me. They were still making money with it. Also find it really odd that they refused all offers to buy the game

>>378361101
>CO still plays like it's in beta stages
Seriously, that game feels so fucking unnatural to play ever since they had those betas for it nor dos it scratch that CoH itch

>>378360672
>>378361101
>>378361327
That's what sucks so much about CoH, is that there really isn't anything else out there that's comparable.

>>378361275
I think it had a great RP scene because it happened pretty organically and then the developers didn't try and hinder it.

It also helped that the character creator was so damn good. To this day it's the only MMO where I never saw anyone else who looked like me.

When they were closing down, I said to myself, "Even if I can't get there on the last day, I should at least hop in and save some pics of my characters."

And then I didn't. All I have is 15. I did get my main, though. Ice/Stone tank.

>>378361275
There is none. these days RP is 90% out of character chatter and setting up RP scenes at specific times. Back in the day, it was frowned upon to wax on OOCly with strangers and everyone was expected to be IC unless stated otherwise.

>>378361796
>>378362323
i didn't save pics either
this makes me want to install paragon chat just to recreate them

I never played it
So what made the game special to you people?
Was it the customization or the gameplay?
Or both I guess

The game was never that good to be honest.
It had a great character creator and some fun powers and all, but the actual game wasn't that good.

What are you playing these days?

>>378364227
I would say both, the customization is a given since like another anon said, it's really difficult to find someone else who even remotely looks like you.

The gameplay wasn't too deep, however the sheer amount of power combinations you could do along with the flashiness that should come from being a super hero made it a very unique experience

>>378361564
There's DC universe online but it's kinda shit unless you really love DC.

>>378369045
In my opinion it has the best combat in the industry and it offers a few play styles. The game has no dungeons or raids. It's all just a big sandbox-lite. I spend the majority of my time on a wagon. Buying low and selling high. Traveling around the country side. Its relaxing as hell

They bump off the game because it wasn't selling in Korea even though it was still successful in the west, refuse to let the devs buy it out because they don't want competition for Wildstar and GW2, refuse to release any server software or anything, then years later they whore out the ip for some assfaggot nobody will play.

It's because it had no real end game content. Once you got to 50, you either hang out in Atlas Park or reroll.

>>378373513
the task forces were a lot of fun even replayed, you just had to have a good guild, the pvp and unlockable classes were actually decent, also building a base was fucking rad

>you will never bully a catgirl and tell it they can't be on your team

>>378373513

>>378373620
They used to be the primary way to level in the game until Cryptic nerfed the hell out of the XP like all things that were popular in the game. You used to be able to get 2 to 3 levels per TF completed.

>>378373781

>>378373902
For instance, people would go and stand on the elevated pedestal that Synapse was standing on in Skyway and form groups there for the Skyway TF. They would be there constantly. After the nerf, nobody did TFs anymore unless they were doing it for badges. I have some screenshots from it somewhere but they're buried on my HDD and I can't find them atm.

anyone got any good gameplay videos of the game? anything like just running through a mission with a group will do or something

>>378374758
The main reason the game struggled to stay filled to the brim was because there were way too many servers per region.

6 on the east coast and 5 on the west coast, all hosted in the same exact location on each coast, if there were only two or three at most there would have been a much slower player bleed.

U r dumb

>>378375939

Not him, but they were kind of dead around 2008ish unless you were on like Freedumb.

But when they did the F2P update and actually started adding end game systems and raids, the servers were never dead and the game near the end of it's life actually had way more players than it did years previously. Anytime someone said the game died because no one was playing it I can only summarize that they themselves didn't really play it.

Game got shut down because it was owned by gook company and it didn't do well at all in korea and with newer games coming out the gook company decided to kill it off to focus more resources on those projects.

Because that shitty project was a cash grab. They had a kickstarter and raised a bunch of money. And like 5 years later all they have to show for it is like a bunch of shitty unreal stock stuff. I wouldn't bother supporting that project anymore because at this point I don't think anything will ever come of it.

These guys started like recently and alreadly look so much further along.

But the thing about spiritual sucessors is that they can never hope to actually match all the things that CoX had.

Probably, they had one recently. Not surprised if they didn't make their goal. There's not a lot of hype left for successors and they didn't really get a lot of views on their videos despite looking way better than City of Titans. Maybe because "ship of heroes" is such a weird title.
