I played it and personally, I liked it. It's the most casual friendly mmorpg I know of, considering there are no equipments. You just login and have fun.

The Sidekick/Exemplar system were awesome too. Basically an high level can make you his sidekick, and while you are 30 yards away from him you're considered his level. That way you can play with your friends even if you're just 12 and they are 30. The exemplar is the opposite. The high level player lower himself to your level so that you can do your low level quests together. Greatest idea of any mmorpg, imo. Warcraft should learn from that. Forget about playing together in warcraft if you're more than 5 level appart.

Of course the equipment race is usually all there is to mmorpgs so you might tire fast.

The monthly fee was something like 12$ US per month, not 27. 27 had to be a two month card.

What character do you have Luvian? I'm glad you like it, but it grows kinda boring fast.

Katana/Regen scrapper, back before regen scrapper became the class of the month. I picked it up because I hate the downtime in most mmorpgs so I thought they would have less.

I made a couple of other characters, but didn't play them much. I quit when warcraft came out.

Yes, I remember now. Time cards have 2 months in 'em.

BTW one thing I will always miss: Travel powers . Horseys just don't compare to superjump or flight .

I just started playing on Justice a week ago.

My best character so far is a 28 Empathy/Radiation Blast Defender.

Server: Justice
Name: Silk Fox
Class: Defender
Origin: Science
Primary Powers: Empathy (Healing)
Secondary Powers: Radiation Blast
Powers: Neutrino Bolt, Cosmic Burst, Healing aura, heal other, absorb pain, resurrect, clear mind, fortitude, recovery aura, teleport, teleport friend, super speed, hasten, stamina, health, hurdle

I have a few other characters, but none I've really enjoyed. I'm really looking forward to reaching level 50 so that I can play the epic archetype "Peacebringer" I've already got my costume, name, etc all planned out.

I'd like to give WoW a shot, no free trials though

You need a valid credit card number to use the trial anyway. They're not charging you, but they're asking you to enter one.

Well they changed it then, because when I game my free trial card to my friend he couldn't use it because it asked for one.
