Man, it feels like it's been shut down for centuries now.
I used to play a Warshade as my main character, managed to get to the point where I had perma eclipse/hasten... it was epic. I miss my old purple fluffies too 
Someone released some software which lets you play around with the costume creator and fly about Atlas Park if you didn't know already, it's pretty useful for getting your fix of CoH from time to time.
If you used to play, what was your main? what do you miss the most?
I love to reload during a battle... There's nothing like the feeling of slamming a long silver missile, into a well greased chamber... |

oh... ill/rad controller named X86 (i.e. the CPU) which was a small android/robot. My attempt to inject geekdom into nerdom! Good at launch, caught wind that they were going f2p and bringing in microtransactions so left. Generally when a game does that, they lose focus on the game and community and move towards trying to milk the under-developed (mostly younger players) vulnerable player type with schemes to cha-chang on their credit cards, sacrificing fun-factor.
Best thing... probably super jump, but had it on my primary-alt which was a scrapper (or second main, whatever). Looked like a big cat and with those wolverine type blades, pouncing from above with super jump. Also liked the simplicity of item drops which were mostly those skill tokens or whatever. Didn't stick around for all the changes revolving around items and junk which was inevitable for going f2p/microtransaction, and inevitable it would eventually close over it's direction change. |

Shamefully, I found the character creator hypnotic and spent more time there than I did ingame (shoulda screenied those). Was just before they canned it though so I didn't really get chance to play.
As Webvan mentioned, the MT thing was a bit invasive and irritating, really put me off. I liked their forums though, had a quick browse, seemed like a funny group. I liked some of the player artwork there. They had impressive high res artwork of massive groups of players. Plus some of the in-character stuff was epically funny.

Tried it at open and quickly hated it. The powersets were essentially the same within an archetype but with different graphics (in the meta sense, e.g. all the blaster powers.)

To a certain extent yes. Though they differentiated in damage, secondary effects, recharge times etc.

I spent hours making costumes too, it really was one of the best features about the game. I miss all the old costume contests that were held beneath the globe in Atlas Park too. There was rarely any 2 people that looked alike which was what I liked most, everyone was unique.
@Webvan, ill/rad controllers were so powerful, I was in the process of purpling one out with enhancements before the game closed. They could solo anything with their perma phantom army! Also I was more of a superspeed kind of guy 
Also I felt the same with the introduction of F2P and the microtransactions, however I didn't quite expect it to come to the sudden stop that it did

It suffered the same problems that almost every MMO has faced. No long term content.

Made a character with a cool costume, played for a little bit, then some time later the EU servers were shut down (or something like that) and suddenly lag made the game unplayable so I stopped playing.
Returned some time later after it was f2p, wanted to play my old character and the game was all like "You'll have to pay for that costume options!" and I was like "Dafuq!? I already payed for that costume options, I bought the game, I had a subscription!" So I left again.
Can't say I miss it much either.
Only thing is, I have to laugh at any other game that claims to have a "deep" character customization, those impostors can't hold a candle to the city of hereoes character customization. 
Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

I guess but I found content in creating new heroes at least. I also think CoH was the MMO to get leveling up right.
It encouraged teaming by giving exp boosts with the more team members present. You could change the difficulty of your encounters to either have more or less enemies and have them either lower level than you or higher. That was really great, granted pretty much all missions are instanced but I think it was worth it.

For a theme park, eq1 didn't have that prob, but then it wasn't an f2p model. |

Mastermind Mercenaries/Traps here as a main,
Mastermind Robotics/Dark Miasma, Mastermind Thugs/Poison and Blaster Assault Rifle/devices as alts, and many other altlings.
Yes, I miss it. A LOT
It was an awesome game back in the day, but died to many reasons, but I would gladly play again in a pirate shard
Masterminds are for me the peak of Pet Play in an MMO after Necromancers in EQ1.
I really really enjoyed Thugs too as a power pool.
Good memories. good memories indeed.

I tried it out when they had a free 10 day trial. I had hours of fun with the character creator! But the game itself didn't hook me. |

Plant/Kinetic Controller.
Awesomeness incarnate. The Carrion creepers were roaring like an angry Godzilla while my debuffs were laying waste to the baddies. Playing this character kind of felt like the curse-Necro in Diablo 2, only better.
Ah...memories...
I'm just going to walk the Earth. You know, like Caine in Kung Fu: walk from place to place, meet people, get into adventures and die of autoerotic asphyxation in a sleazy Thai hotel room. |

I played it from launch on US, then got the expansion (Villains), at some point moved to euro. It was a funky entertaining MMO that didn't try to be more than it was; simple fun. Have to respect that. |

Look up City of Titans. It may be a bit off till release but you may be pleasantly surprised.
