I’m looking forward to Champions as well, but again I haven’t played it. Thank goodness they’ll have an open beta to give some impression about the game.

To me, that doesn’t sound like something I would be interested in because, to be quite honest, the traditional MMO grind has become kind of stale, and I want a new game that does one thing exceptionally well or different in comparison to the other games on the market (like WAR/Darkfall’s PvP focus or The Old Republic’s emphasis on storytelling and immersion).

I’ll probably give Aion a shot when there’s a 10/14-day trial and the client is free to download, but I don’t see anything shiny enough (flying would have been awesome had WoW not done it with mounts a few years ago) to really make me want to give up the nice rut I’ve dug for myself.

@Hudson — Thanks for the head’s up. Just to be clear, I mean different in terms of milieu. I’d happily play a Diku-based Superhero game other than CoH (nothing against CoH…I like it well enough, but I’m just looking for something new).

I will play this game, despite my major gripe that I actually just do not want to be an angel – about as much as I want to be a superhero in Champions.

The Devs themselves stated the game starts at max level, hear, hear — and what is the game at max level?

I wonder if there will be a RvR weekend for players, where they start with max level chars.
